Michael and Maria walked in the apartment a half an hour later. Max was already there watching TV. Maria smiled and sat next to Max. Michael walked to the kitchen and got something to drink. "What took you so long?" Max asked them. "You left before I did." "We had to stop by Maria's and pick up some stuff." Michael explained while sitting down next to Maria. Max just nodded his head. Maria sighed and looked at Michael and then at Max. "Well, I'm going to take another shower. It's been a long day." Maria said while walking to the bathroom. Max heard the bathroom door slam and looked at Michael. "So did she tell you anything yet?" Max asked him. "Ya, I asked her what was wrong. But she doesn't think it's a big deal. She's just been tired and she just had some nightmares, that's all." Michael told Max. "Did you think she's hiding something?" Max asked him. Michael shook his head no. "I never thought she was hiding anything from me, Max. Like I said before, she thinks it's no big deal. And she's probably right, just nightmares. But I told her to tell me if they get worse." Michael answered him. Max just nodded his head. "Are you sure, Michael. Cuz I've been getting this feeling..." Michael cut him off. "Max, I asked her. I know what you mean when you say something is off. But I can't make Maria tell me something that really isn't there. If something is truly wrong then Maria will tell me. Just relax and get some sleep or something." Michael said getting a little annoyed. "Okay, I'm just worried that's all." Max told him. "I know Maxwell. Just try not to worry all the time." Michael said. Max nodded his head and got off the couch. "Where you going?" "I'm gunna go for a walk. Let go some stress." Max told him. Michael just nodded his head as Max left the apartment. ----- Max sighed to himself. Michael was right, he did need to relax. He just couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to happen. He knew Michael had the feeling too, but not as strong as Max. Max turned the corner and then stopped walking. He touched the stoplight and waited for the walk sign. Flash Someone walking down the same street Max was on. End of Flash "What the hell?" Max asked out loud. Who was that in his flash? And why did he get a flash in the first place? Max had a hundred questions going through his mind. He really needed some rest. Max took a deep breath and headed back to the apartment. Max could sense the person in his flash was evil. He could feel the evil that was growing in the person blood. Max had to get back to the apartment and tell Michael. Max started to run until he finally got back to the apartment. "Max, are you okay?" Michael asked wondering why Max was out of breathe. "I just had a flash." Max told Michael. "Of what?" Michael asked as he turned off the TV. "Of some person. I could feel their evil, Michael. I know this person is here to something bad. I just don't know what." Max said as he sat down on the couch. "Did you see the face? Do you know who it is?" Michael asked getting worried. "No, I couldn't see the face. All I know for sure is that this person or alien, was out of no good. I felt it, Michael." Max explained. Michael sighed and ran his hand through his hair. Maria walked out of the bathroom in shorts and one of Michael's t-shirts. Maria noticed how tense Michael and Max were and got worried. "What's wrong?" Maria asked them. Max and Michael turned around. "Max, just got a flash when went for a walk." Michael explained to her. "Of what?" Maria asked concerned. "Something evil." Max told her. "Let's just get some sleep, tomorrow we'll get everyone together and tell them about the flash." Michael suggested. Max nodded his head in agreement. "Ya, sounds good." Max said rubbing his face. Michael patted Max on the back and headed for his bedroom. Maria didn't move, she kept staring at Max. "Are you sure you're okay?" Maria asked him. "Ya, I'm fine." Max said and gave her a smile. Maria nodded her head and followed Michael to his bedroom. ------ "Do you really think that Max is okay?" Maria asked Michael. Michael took off his shirt and boxers. "I'm sure Max fine. We just need to find out who this person is." Michael answered her while both them got into bed. "Do you think it's something really bad, Michael?" Maria asked getting a little worried. Michael wrapped his arms around Maria. "I don't know, Maria. But everything will be okay, I promise." Michael said sensing Maria was getting worried. He kissed her on the forehead. "Get some sleep, we'll figure everything out tomorrow." Maria nodded her head and closed her eye's. ------- "Are you sure that's what you sensed?" Isabel asked Max. Everyone was once again at Michael's apartment, talking about Max's flash. "Could you tell if it was human or alien?" Kyle asked. "No, I couldn't tell if it was a man or women." Max explained. Liz rubbed Max's back, she was worried about him. Max smiled at her. "What do you think we should do?" Isabel asked. "We should just be more alert than before. We don't have any solid information to say something dangerous is going to happen. But I can still feel it. We need to be very careful until we know what's going on." Max explained. Everyone nodded in agreement. "We should head back to school, before we're late for 5th period." Liz said. "This sucks, we have fight evil aliens, FBI, and still go to school. Life just isn't fair." Kyle said while walking to the door. "Tell me about it." Maria said with a laugh. ------ At school Maria was in her 5th period class. She hated English, it was just so boring. Michael asked this morning about the nightmares. Maria was happy to report that she didn't have on last night. Michael had joked around about it because of him. Maria sighed, she couldn't take any more of this. Maria raised her hand and waited for the teacher to call on her. "Yes, Ms. DeLuca." "Could I go to the bathroom?" Maria asked. "Go ahead, but make it fast." Maria smiled and got out of her desk. 'Thank god. I can have a break from that class. I don't think there's anything more boring than English class.' Maria said to herself as she walked down the school hallway. It was so empty, Maria could hear her own footsteps. It was kind of scarring her too, it kind of reminded her of the hallway in her dream. 'Get a grip.' Maria told herself as she turned the corner and bumped into someone. Maria gasped and fell to the ground. "You know, you shouldn't be ditching class, Maria." Michael said while helping Maria up. Maria glared up at Michael. "Look who's talking." She said, Michael chuckled. "What are you doing out of class anyway?" Michael asked her. "What are you doing out of class?" Maria challenge. Michael glared at her. "I have English and it's boring as hell." Maria told him. "Now what about you?" "I have P.E. and we have sub." Michael told her. Maria rolled her eye's. "You told be me, that I shouldn't be ditching." Maria said. "And you shouldn't be." Michael said as Maria started away from him. Michael grabbed Maria's arm and pulled her towards him. Michael kissed Maria passionately. Maria pulled away from Michael's lips. "I would love to do this right now, Michael. But like you said, I shouldn't be ditching." Maria told him with a smirk. Michael glared at her, Maria gave Michael a kiss on the cheek and walked away. "See you after school." Michael shook his head and walked away. ------- Maria got home after school. She was a little tired but she had to clean her room. Maria sighed, she hated cleaning her room. She always seemed to noticed that she had so much crap and so little space. Maria dropped her purse and laid down on her bed. She felt so tired, but she got a lot of sleep last night. She didn't know why she was so sleepy. Maria took off her shoes and through them across the room. That's probably why her room got so messy. She closed her eye's and drifted off to sleep. ------- A person not far from Maria's house was also laying down. Getting ready to do some damage. He smiled at the thought of all the pain he will be causing. "The time is coming, Mariaaa. The time is so close." TBC
