Title: Discovering the Past Author: TatiLoca E-mail: MariCa619@starmail.com Category: AU-CC-M/L Rating: PG-13/R (violence, language, and possible sexual situations) Disclaimer: I don’t own Roswell, or much of anything really. Please don’t sue. Summary: Pretty much everything up 'til "Heart of Mine", except Max doesn't kiss the Gerbil-Bitch at the Prom or start to remember and Liz never went to that smug-ass delinquent Sean. Instead Max took Liz home and then went home         himself. Kyle doesn't get enough props so he'll be in this just in small doses. ALEX NEVER DIED. TESS IS EVIL AND MUST BE DESTROYED. Eva, Drea, Dom, and Tyler are my own. Valenti is Sheriff. AN: In this Tess is evil, sorry guys I’ve been writing her as good lately, but TEOTW was on earlier and I’m so freaking depressed that I can’t bring myself to write her as nice right now. 1 * Day after Prom, Alex's house (Mid May) * Alex is walking around his house muttering incoherently. The few intelligible words are Tess, mindwarps, and lies. He has memories of being somewhere but knew he couldn't have been. Suddenly he grabs his car keys and runs out the door. Destination unknown. * Same time, Valenti home * Kyle is watching TV and the Gila monster, uh Tess, is trying to think of a way to get into Max's pants, Jim however is on the phone with his sister-in-law- "Really? That'd be great! You know I miss seeing you guys." "Oh really?!? How old is this guy?” "It is too my business!” "Who else?” "Oh, of course I remember her! Short little redheaded thing? Refuses to answer to Andrea." "In 4 hours! More warning would've been nice, but, no I don't mind." "Talk to you later." Jim Valenti hung up the phone slightly dazed as to how he had agreed to let 3 teens, his mischievous niece Eva and her 2 friends Dom and Drea, stay at his house that night. Apparently Luciana Eva, or Eva as she was mainly referred to as, had family she wanted to find. Jim’s younger brother and his wife had adopted Eva in 1988. Now all he had to do was tell Kyle and Tess. * The desert * ~ I can't believe I was at Las Cruces University! What was I doing there? What the heck am I remembering? Why the Hell do I keep seeing Tess? What am I going to do? Isabel. I need Isabel. ~ Alex was so absorbed in his thoughts he never noticed he'd driven off the road until he hit the ditch. "Damn it!" he shouted to no one imparticular as the pain nearly knocked him unconscious. His insides felt as if they were ripped to shreds. Lucky for him an SUV was fast approaching. Dom was driving the white Expedition, with Drea shotgun and Eva in back. The trio was listening to Drea’s Sugar Ray c.d., "Fly", when suddenly Linkin Park's "Hybrid Theory" came blasting from the back. "Luciana Eva Valenti! What did I tell you about doing THAT!” Drea shrieked referring to Eva using her powers. It constantly freaked the redhead out when Eva would simply touch a CD and it would begin playing. Friends since 2nd grade, Drea was one of the few people who knew Eva's secret. The 2 girls were practically polar opposites. Drea was short, redhead, petite, sheltered, quiet, and human. Eva on the other hand was tall, brunette, CURVY, didn't put up with people's @#%$, and an alien. * FLASHBACK first week of 2nd grade * Drea stood alone in the bathroom crying as the cold water ran over her bloody hand. Her mom always told her to clean her cuts every time she scraped her knees or elbows. "Are you O.K.?" Eva asked worriedly walking into the room. "It hurts. A lot. But my mommy always says you haves to clean up the cuts so they don't get 'fected." Drea explained. "Oh." Eva said confused. Her cuts never looked like that. "Can I see ?" At Drea’s nod Eva placed her tiny hand gently over the scrape. A soft glow appeared under her hand prompting Drea to gasp in shock. "How'd you do that ?"she awed staring at her perfectly healed hand. "I'm not sure 'xactly. I do that to my cuts all the time. Please don't tell" Eva suddenly pleaded, "If mama finds out I did that she'll get sooo upset. She says I'm not 'sposed to let no one know I can do that." she held out her pinky finger and Drea hooked her pinky around it. A pinky swear between new friends. "I promise. Come on let's go swing." Drea said smiling at their secret. * End FLASHBACK * Since that day Drea had helped Eva in trying to uncover her past as well as her powers. Dom had been let in on the secret when he'd accidentally walked in on Eva changing her and Drea's nail polish colors back in 6th grade. More recently he and Drea had hooked up. "Chill the Hell out Red. I love Sugar Ray. Really. Mark is hella fine! But give me a break, 3 times in a row is more than enough. Besides there's nothing wrong with Linkin Park." Eva defended her favorite c.d. Before Drea could attempt to counter, Dom interrupted, "So, who are we staying with?" He knew as good of friends the 2 girls were neither would back down, until Eva won of course. "Eva's Uncle Jim and cousin Kyle" Drea answered dismissively remembering Kyle as a jockstrap. The last time they had seen each other they were almost 15 and Kyle was a total jackass around his football friends. "OMB!" Eva exclaimed happily remembering something to freak out Dom, "Dom you will not believe his gun collection." "WHAT !" Dom bellowed just as Eva yelled, "Stop the car!" Before the SUV even fully stopped Eva had already jumped out and was running full speed towards a ditch. A ditch were there was an over turned car and a body half way out. "Hey, are you OK ?" she called as she ran. "Not really" a weak voice responded. "Can you move at all ?" Dom asked as they reached the slumped figure. As the person attempted to stand Eva and Drea recognize him as Alex Whitman. His injuries however didn't let him stand for very long. Dom managed catch Alex as he fell and helped him to lie down. Eva tried to find his injuries and using her powers she found he was internally bleeding, he wouldn't make it. "Damn it! Alex look at me. I need you to trust me." Eva begged remembering another accident scene, another man fatally injured. Looking in her eyes, Alex knew he'd have to. Eva quickly repaired the damage from the accident. Without meaning to she also healed his mind. She didn't form the full connection to allow her to see into Alex only a surface one to repair to ensure Alex would survive. * Alex's mind * Tess had mindwarped Alex into thinking he'd gone to Sweden when he'd really been at Las Cruces University. Alex translating the 'Destiny' book as Tess increased the pressure of the warp. Tess 'punishing' Alex every time he fought the warp. The entire semester Alex spent in 'Sweden' was a continuous mindwarp to keep him under Tess and Nicholas' control. Tess was really Tesanra an imposter of the true queen, Rath's sister and Zan's bride, Ava was really Ceruva the real Aeva’s personal guard. Leanna was really a local student who helped him decode the book. She was one of the few humans who were sympathetic to Antar not to Khivar or to Zan, they had heard about or witnessed the once prosperous planet and longed for it to be restored. * Back to the desert * Alex sat up still dazed but feeling better than he had in months. As his brain began processing the new information about his whereabouts he realized he'd been healed. Standing, he faces his 3 rescuers, staring intently at the one who healed him. After racking his brain trying to figure out why she was so familiar he remembers them from 3 years ago. "Eva? Andrea? What the Hell? Aren't you friends of Kyle or relatives?" he asks while mentally repeating 'oh @#%$ oh @#%$ oh @#%$'. He knows when Max healed Liz he received flashes of her past. ~ Could Eva have as well? ~ he worries silently. "Hey Alex." Drea smiled weakly. She knew Eva wouldn't let Alex die but to heal him damning the consequences was NOT acceptable. Who knows who he could tell. For all they knew the FBI could be around. Focusing on the now frightened-near tears girl who healed him he asked gently, "You healed me. Didn't you?" In response she nodded, now thinking of the consequences of her hasty actions. While she was glad she had saved Alex, the danger aspect seemed to finally make it-self known. "How?" he asked suspicion growing from his newly recovered memories. ~ Could she be the real 4th since Gerbil-girl is a fake. ~ "I, um, I just did." she hedged looking anywhere but at the people around her. She was sure Alex would look at her as if she were a freak, Drea would look disapproving, and Dom would give her a look full of pity. "Why? We don't know each other well or anything. Why risk your life for mine?" he asked confused. They were acquaintances, casual friends a best that had only met briefly a few years ago. Eva he remembered was Kyle's cousin and Andrea her friend. "I couldn't let you die too." Eva whispered, her eyes bright with unshed tears yet shadowed with pain. Alex decided against questioning her last admission, but still wants to know if his suspicions are correct. That she is the Pod Squad's 4th member. "Let me guess you're an alien hybrid ?" he asked only half-joking. At Alex's question Eva's honey brown complexion paled, Dom stiffened, and Drea looked ready to lose her lunch. "Oh @#%$!" Drea hissed looking greener by each passing second. "Alex, please. You can't tell anyone. I just couldn't be responsible for another death." Eva pleaded, fighting her tears. Alex stepped towards her and wrapped his arms around Eva's shaking form softly whispering to her. "I won't tell anyone, I promise. I owe you my life. Your secret is safe with me." he assured her. Seeing how Drea is still a bit green and Eva too emotional Dom speaks up. "How did you know and why didn't you freak?" he asked suspiciously. He was calm. Too calm for Dom’s taste. Not too sure how to answer without betraying his friends Alex gives a variation of the truth. " 1, its Roswell. 2, I happen to believe in aliens. 3, Hello! She saved my life." Alex answers still holding Eva, rather protectively. Dom accepted the explanation for the time being, but knew there was more to the story. Something just didn’t fit. "Well let's see if we can do something about your car. Do you have a cell phone?" Dom asks dryly, " We can call a tow truck." Removing herself from Alex’s embrace, Eva uses her powers to move Alex’s car from the ditch to the side of the road. Smiling widely Alex gives his usual thumbs-up approval, “Nice. Thanks.” he tells her surprised at the ease with which she uses her powers and also that she would use them. Concentrating Eva carefully repairs the damage done to Alex’s car leaving it in better condition then when he bought it. She can’t help but giggle at the comical expression of awe and disbelief on Alex’s face. “Whoa! Wicked cool! Michael usually blows things up.” Alex pauses when he realizes what he just admitted, “Oh @#%$” he whispers. “I shouldn’t have said that.” Eva looks at Alex with unconcealed hope and fear shining in her large brown eyes. “Alex, do you know others like me? Please Alex...” she pleads vulnerably. Unable to refuse her plea Alex gives in. “O.K., here’s the deal. I’ll tell you what I know and you do the same. I trust you. I don’t know why, I just do. I’ll see what I can do to help you but I’ll have to tell them about you. Then we’ll figure out what to do from there. Ride with me to Roswell we can talk then.” he suggests. Eva agrees and after grabbing her purse from Dom’s Expedition as well as promising to be careful they head for town. * Valenti house * Jim walks into the living room and sees Kyle and Tess watching TV "Hey you two!" he greets brightly. "Hey Dad." Kyle answers slowly not liking the happy tone in Jim's voice. "Hi Jim." Tess replies eyes still glued to the TV. "Guess who's coming to visit?" he asks grinning widely. Kyle shrugs and Tess narrows her eyes now focusing on the man in front of her. She'd never seen Jim that excited over some visitor, or that nervous. "Eva's coming. And she's bringing 2 of her friends. Andrea and Dominic. Isn't that great!" Jim exclaims informing them with his eyes just how thrilled they should be. Now Kyle narrows his eyes, "WHO is this Dominic character?!?" he demands the over-protective side of him shining through. “Drea’s boyfriend.” Jim fights a smile at Kyle’s over-protectiveness. “Now they’ll probably stay the night, no sense in them having to rent rooms. I want both of you on your best behavior. Do I make myself clear?” at their nods he continues, “Good. And Tess, no powers.” That said Jim heads for his office, may as well warn Max there would be a few new faces.
