Max Evans & Liz Ortecho, later Michael Guerin

What: Max's rearrival in Goodland
Where: Inside the corn maze
When: Sunday, late
Warnings: Trauma, Injury, and such (but not gore)
Status: Closed

Max wasn't sure what was happening. That last thing he remembered was transferring his life force to Rosa, allowing her to live. He hadn't expected to die, but at a certain point he'd realised it was inevitable. And he was okay with it, he would trade his life for Rosa's to give Liz her sister back. And then there was nothing. No awareness, just...nothing.

He wasn't sure how long he was in the void of nothingness. There wasn't any way to measure time like that. It could have been five seconds, five hours, five decades, five centuries, or five millennia for all Max knew. He heard nothing, he felt nothing. He was nothing. And then suddenly, there was something, a trickle of awareness, and a sensation of being aware and alive, and in utter darkness.

He thrust a hand out, searching for something, anything solid to grab on to. He found what felt like a shoulder and he nearly recoiled in shock. He hadn't expected to feel another person. He sure as hell didn't expect to get sucker punched for this efforts! He stumbled, his legs like jelly beneath him. "Fuck."

Liz didn't hear anything that Noah said because she was focused on what Michael was saying, concern on her voice and on her face when he said he hurt his hand. Of course, he did. Now the question was did he do it on purpose or was it an accident? She intended to find out if they got out of theer and get the truth out of him. Or try to. Getting the truth out of Michael Guerin was hard but she was Liz Ortecho and she liked a challenge.

As the conversation wrapped up, she watched as Noah disappeared again and she breathed out a sigh of relief. With him gone, she could put the phone back on the two of them so they could see each other. "We've become better friends since arrived here and I invited him to live with me" She replied with a shrug of her shoulders, not quite reading between the lines of what he said. She really no reason to.

"You live...together." Maybe there was some truth to things Noah was saying. Max didn't want to believe it, but he also couldn't blame Liz. He would entirely blame Michael for taking advantage of her. The only problem with that logic was that he would have been grieving too. Not only for Max, but for his mother, and the answers that died with Noah.

"If you...I mean. It's cool. I'll..." Max shrugged. He couldn't believe they were having this conversation in absolute darkness. "I mean, I was dead, right? Makes sense you'd move on." He made a silent vow to kill Michael if he so much as hurt a single hair on Liz's head.

"He had to go somewhere when he got here and let's be real, I'm one of the only people around here who knows how to handle him" She pointed out, seeing no issue with them being roommates.

Michael Guerin was a lot to take on a good day and it took a special kind of person to be able to tolerate him on a daily basis. She'd become one of those special people when they worked together day in and day out to bring back Isobel. During that time, she'd become rather fond of him and that fondness that had grown since he arrived in Goodland with her and they began living together. Nowadays, she has his back and he had hers and she wouldn't have it any other way.

Her eyebrows furrowed when he talked about her moving on. "Moved on? What?" She repeated, taking in what he said. It was then that she connected all of it and she shook her head. "Max, no. I haven't moved on. Not with Michael, not with anyone. I care about him, yes, but it's you that I love. You're it for me" She reassured him, her eyes looking into his as she reached up and touched his face again. "We're just friends. I promise you"

Max knew as well as anyone how difficult Michael could be. How it took someone special to be able to handle him. If anyone could keep him in line, it would be Liz. He'd seen it happen when they'd been working to save Isobel.

"I just..." he started, and stopped when his brain worked out what she'd said. 'It's you that I love'. He blinked at her, vision severely compromised in the darkness. There was a feeling of mystery, of uncertainty, because of the setting. but the message spoke to his heart and soul.

Nothing else mattered.

"I..." he said, but interrupted his declaration of love for her by kissing her hard, possessive, on the lips.

She stayed quiet as she processed what she just said. It was the first time she'd used the word 'love' with him so it was a huge deal, she knew that. She also knew she'd been ready to say it to him for a long time and that she didn't say it just to assure him that she wasn't interested in his brother. She loved him with her whole body, mind, and soul and it was about damn time he knew it.

She expected some speech out of him in return but when he was rendered speechless, she found that to be so endearing. When his lips touched hers, she closed the space between them and returned his kiss, turning it passionate. And just like that, it was like they were in the desert again having their first kiss. Nothing else mattered but the two of them and everything around them faded away as they made out.

And then, of course, Michael Guerin had to roll on up and ruin the moment. Pulling away, Liz groaned a little bit when she heard his voice and put her forehead on Max's chest. "Hi Mikey" She mumbled into it as she hung onto him.

"Jesus, you two. Get a room," Michael said as he rounded a corner and approached Max and Liz. He rolled his eyes, though that likely wasn't immediately obvious in the dark of the maze.

He carried a flashlight in his right hand, his left arm was pulled in close to his chest in an effort to protect his injured hand. "And you," he said to someone who wasn't actually there, "are not invited to this reunion." His posture shifted and a blast of his power sent Noah flying into the black unknown.

"Hey, Lizzie," he greeted his friend once Noah was dealt with. "Maxie," he added, smirking as Max enveloped him in a hug. They weren't huggers. it just wasn't a thing they did, but just this once Michael didn't object. And in fact, he swung his good arm out to pull Liz into the embrace.

Lifting her head, she turned when he spoke to Noah and she held onto Max a little bit tighter.

She knew he was likely a figment of the maze and that he wasn't really real but his presence was enough to bring the fear out from her. This whole damn maze was full of scary things and she hated every second of it. She couldn't only hope ( atleast for a second ) that she could get out of there now that she was with Max and Michael. If anyone could get out there, it was the three of them.

She stepped aside while the brothers embraced, a breath of relief leaving her lips as she watched them. Yes, it was going to be alright now that they were all together. She smiled when Michael opened up the hug to her and she stepped in closer, wrapping her arms around both of her boys in a trio hug. This was probably the first and only time this would happen so she was going to savor it while she could.

Hell, even as the three way hug was happening, Michael was planning to deny it it ever occurred. That was just how he was. He tended to stamp down anything that even vaguely resembled an expression of emotion.

After a moment, he pulled back, and Max followed his lead, but kept an arm around Liz. "We gotta get the hell out of here," Michael stated. As if that wasn't obvious.
