-takes place during season 4 and after-
I just didn't like the California group storyline, so I decided to rewrite it the way I'd like it. Plus add my take on season 5 (or at least a part of it), and give everyone the happy ending they deserve.

"But I'm telling you, babe, that I don't think it's true, babe. And even if it is, keep this in mind; you take it on the run, baby. If that's the way you want it, baby, then I don't want you around. I don't believe it, not for a minute, you're under the gun, so you take it on the run."

Jane's pov:
The fight almost feels lost, I'm tied up and One's attacking Max. Could it go down even worse?
"El, I don't now if you can hear this, but.. but if you can, I want you to know I'm here, okay?" I heard Mike's voice echo through my mind, he was probably talking at the pizza shop.
"Mike, don't stop. Remember, you're the heart," I could hear Will's voice quieter. What does that mean?
"I'm right here. And.." Mike continued, making a pause for a minute. "I love you. El, do you hear me? I love you. I'm sorry I don't say it more," Mike said, I tried to silence his voice, what a bunch of bull. Why does he only say he loves me when I'm in life threatening situation? He doesn't really mean it, does he?
"I-it's not because I'm scared of you. I'm not," Mike continued, another lie. "I've never felt that way. Never," then how does he know what that feeling is?
"But I'm scared that one day you'll realize you don't need me anymore," Mike said, I really thought he knew I already did. Mike, you idiot, I know I don't need you, but that doesn't mean I don't want you around. "And I thought if I said how I felt, it would somehow make that day hurt more. But the truth is, El, I don't know how to live without you," as if I believe that, just shut up please! "I feel like my life started that day we found you in the woods," did he.. did he just say that in front of Will? Mike, you idiot. "You were wearing that yellow Benny's Burgers T-shirt. And it was so big, it almost swallowed you whole," that made me laugh, why does he even remember that? But it's probably the only truthful thing he said so far. "And I knew right there and then, in that moment, that I loved you," bull, you wanted to send me away until you found out I know about Will... Will, he's the one you care about and then you go on and say your life started the day you lost him while he's right there, idiot! "And I've loved you every day since. I love you on your good days, I love you on your bad days, I love you with your powers, without your powers, I love you exactly for who you are. You're my superhero," I told you not to call me that, I don't want to be a 'superhero', I just want to be a normal girl, but I will never get that. The only person who ever saw me as just a random girl was Max.. MAX!
Just the thought of her was enough for me to break from the veins and push One away from my best friend. In the next few moments everything faded away and I could see Max in Lucas' arms, her limbs broken, she was still breathing for a couple minutes, but then she was gone. I didn't make it anyway, I lost..
"Fight El, you can do anything. You can fly, you can move mountains. I believe that," Mike's voice was still echoing through my head. That's right!
"No. No, you're not going. No," I said as I placed my hand over Max's hear, focusing all my power into making it beat again. I am not losing her, not like this!
