“No.” Michael shook his head. “Max can heal my hand. This is just...why. Or how. Or whatever.”
He was watching Alex carefully, weighing his reaction. He hadn’t run screaming, which Michael figured was a good thing. He figured Alex would need a few, but what did he know? They’d never told anyone before. But his nerves weren’t any better. Wouldn’t be until Alex figured out how he felt, because, until then, he could still run screaming. Or just decide it was okay, in general, but that he didn’t want to be with Michael because of it.
But better to know that now than after they ran away together and Michael slipped up and used his power where Alex could see. Living foreverwithout using it would be impossible.
So, he cleared his throat and answered Alex’s question. “Near as we can tell, they’re some kind of stasis pods. They must be what kept us safe in the crash, though we got no idea who brought them here, who hid us and kept us safe for fifty years. We just know we woke up in them in 1997, and managed to get out, then went looking for...anyone until a trucker found us and took us to the sheriff or whoever..”

Honestly, that was all kind of a blur.
