Seeing Blind

Summary: Iggy has lived almost his entire life without his sight. When Fang finds an offer to return Iggy's sight from an office in Manhattan on his blog, will Iggy take the risk to have something that he has been denied his whole life?

A/N I always felt bad for Iggy, because he never had all the opportunities that the rest of the flock had. So, what will happen when he is offered something he has been denied almost his whole life? I hope everyone finds this fic interesting, I have some ideas for it, but I've gotta know that people like it, so please review, flames are accepted, but only if they are deserved.

P.S. the part after the blog is in third person. I'll do POVs in the next chapter, I just though that that part should be in 3rd person, just because of how I wanted to write it.

Read, and enjoy!

Chapter One: The Offer

Welcome to Fang's Blog!

You are visitor number: Bacon!

Yo-

Hey all my readers out there! Ok, so it's Iggy's birthday in a week, and we all want to surprise him. Max offered to bake a cake, but I really don't think Iggy would appreciate his kitchen being set on fire, so everyone else decided that Max was not going to be baking anything. Anyway, we're ordering an ice cream cake. We'll let someone else do the dirty work.

Gazzy thought that it would be a good idea to include a "surprise" in the cake. Max, being the smart leaderly type, said no. Gazzy threw the "surprise" at a tree. At this time, I would like to have a moment of silence for the family of termites that lived in that tree.

Ok, the time is over. Anyway, back to what's important here. I want to surprise Iggy, but NOT in the way Gazzy had in mind.... Ideas, anyone?

Fang replied:

No. Just, no.

Perhaps, a Britney Spears CD?

Fang replied:

Only if I want a black eye. Nope.

We (The Institute of Optics and Blindness of Northeast Manhattan, or IOBNM) have a proposition for Mr. "Iggy." As a newly formed research facility in Manhattan, we employ some of the best eye surgeons in the world. We have completed operations successfully on over 300 clients. Recently, we have looked into sight restoration. Yes, we believe that we have found the cure for surgery induced blindness.

However, It will only work on those who have a certain issue with their optic nerve. To our understanding and interpretation, the "School" in their attempts to increase Iggy's eye production, disjointed his optic nerve in a certain place. We believe there is a way to fix this. Understand, though, that we can never completely fix Iggy's eyesight. His nerve was damaged beyond complete repair. The restoration will only give Iggy back the ability to see colors, shapes, and some parts of human features. Please ask Iggy to consider our offer.

Fang leaned back on the legs of his chair and stared at the computer screen. He was contemplating what he had just reread three times. Could it really be true? Was there really someone out there who could give Iggy what he wanted most of all, but thought he could never have?

At that moment, Max entered the room.

"Fang? Are you on that blog again? Hey! Are you gonna come shopping? Nudge and Ella are making me go- are you paying attention?" Max looked over Fangs shoulder and sucked in her breath as she read the post from the IOBNM.

"No way. It HAS to be a trap. We can't believe anything they say on there, can we?" She looked at Fang, and he glanced up at her.

"I can't see anything wrong with it... maybe we should just ask Iggy about it before we do anything." Max nodded thoughtfully.

"After all, this is really about whether or not Iggy wants to go through with it. If he doesn't, then, problem solved!" In her heart, Max without asking Iggy that he would want to check out the IOBNM. It was the first hope he might have about regaining his sight since the School removed it back in their cage days.

"IGGY!" She yelled out the window. He looked up from the "calculator" that he was "showing Gazzy how to use." Of course, that was not what it was, but she wasn't worried about that at the moment. She heard thumping as Iggy ran up the stairs.

"Yeah? Whatever it was, I didn't do it. Lunch is in half an hour. I'm making tomato soup. If you have a problem with that, then eat cereal. Can I go now? I was busy..." He looked (If that is what you can call it) towards the computer.

"Fang? Max? What is, you guys?" Max realized that his senses were already much higher then the rest of the flock. Maybe, just maybe, he wouldn't want to check out the IOBNM. She turned to Fang.

"Hey, Ig, I just got a post on my blog. I think you should read it." When Iggy didn't respond, Fang tried again. "Iggy?"

"Well, since you obviously can't remember, I'm blind. I can't see. If you want me to know what it says, then MAYBE you should read it to me."

"Oh, well fine then."

"... The IOBNM. They also left an email, if we wanted to reply." Fang glanced at Iggy. "So, what do you think?"

"Are you kidding me? Respond! Right away! This is so cool! Ask them when and where. We're open to everything!" As Iggy tried to continue, Max interrupted.

"Iggy, I think we should take our time. I don't want you to get hurt. We'll reply, but I'm not sold on this IOBNM yet." Max nudged Iggy out the door. "I'm sure Angel already knows, but why don't you go tell Gazzy and Nudge?"

When he had run down the stairs, Max sighed and turned to Fang. "I'm not sure about this. It's just too convenient."

Fang just looked back at the screen.

"And one more thing... This could be pure coincidence, but when we were in the Institute in New York a few months ago, I saw those initials on one of the papers with Iggy's numbers. Something tells me that not all is as it seems here, and I'm gonna find out what is going on before they get anywhere near Iggy."
