| "Izzy he's right there." Max said gently as he pointed to the unconcious Alex on the couch. "No!" Isabel said exasperatingly. "My son. Get him now!" she demanded. "Okay, Isabel, I'll go get him." Liz reassured her and hurried up the stairs. When Liz left Isabel returned to her almost-trance like state. "Iz, are you okay?" Max asked worriedly. Isabel didn't reply she just stared at Alex. Moments later, Liz came down the stairs with a sleepy eyed boy. Holding Liz's hand tightly Alex2 walked over to his mother. Yawning. "Mommy what's wrong?" he asked sleepily. After Liz had left he fell back asleep. She had to wake him up this time. He rounded the couch and caught sight of the man stretched out on the couch. "OH NO! It's him. What's wrong with him Mommy?" he said worriedly near tears. Isabel looked up slowly and looked relieved when she saw her baby boy. "Honey, I need you to connect with him okay? You remember how to do that don't you?" "Uhuh Mommy. I remember." was his reply and he took a step forward to make the the connection but was stopped by his uncle. "Isabel, he dosen't need to do this. I already did." Max told her. "Max back off." Isabel replied harshly completely unlike herself. "Iz, it might be dangerous he's only eight and he dosen't have much control over his powers." Max told her once more hesitantly. What was going on with her? "Max. I said. Back. Off!" she said haltingly. Max started to say more but was stopped by his wife's voice in his head. //It's okay Max. She knows what she's doing. let her do it.// she informed him knowingly. //Why is she doing this? What's wrong with her?// //She's had a lot to deal with in less than 24 hours Max. Give her time but right know just trust her okay.// Max hesitated, hating the fact that his only nephew could get hurt. //Trust me, love.// floated Liz's voice in his head. Max turned and looked at her with a set, determined face. Liz touched his arm and sent relaxing, happy thoughts his way. Max loosened up a little bit and sent a grateful look her way. Then he turned back to Isabel and her two Alex's. He kneeled by Alex and pulled Alex2 down beside him. "Now here's what you have to do...." |
