Well I'm off with chicken pox and I heard a song that made me think yet again like a story I had wrote already be a hero. But this one will drag out from a one shot. The ending will be sadder but before it will be all odd random things. Please don't judge it straight away.

Max's Pov

Saving the world. How many fourteen year olds had that to deal with? Just me. I'm maximum ride. If you don't know me I hope you take the time to learn my adventures. If you know me. You won't for long.

The end of the world is coming closer and closer. We have given up trying to find the answer.

Nothing made sense we were on one path then had to fly to another twenty miles from the one we were on.

Also with Angel leaving with Dylan to see Dr Chu again my flock was tiny. Fang had never come back to us. Nudge talked less than normal. Iggy seemed more distant and less into bombs and Gazzy was pinning for his sister.

Total missed the two missing birds but he spent most the time with Akila now. Akila was pregnant so he was with her nearly all the time but separated from her on shopping runs or when she was asleep he would come and talk to me.

I sat up in my bed and looked out the open window. All I wanted was for Fang to fly to that window. For his to land say he was sorry and kiss me.

But living on the streets for so long and being leader for so long has taught me reality from a far off dream.

Like when a little kid says he wants to be Spiderman when he grows up. A far off dream. But if he said something like, I don't know. He want's to be a vet. With hard work he could be.

Tears started to run down my face at the actual chance of Fang coming home to me. Even with the world ending!

The door handle slowly turned, Gasman was standing in the door way in his to big PJ's.

"I had a bad dream" he said. Sometimes with all we have been through it's easy to forget Gazzy is only nine.

He came over to me after shutting the door and clambered onto the bed beside me. Pulling him to me I asked "want to tell me about it?"

"There was me and you nudge and Iggy had gone to the store. But then something smashed through the window. A bag. So you opened it. Angel was in it. Dr Chu had killed her"

His eyes looked wide and innocent. I pulled him into a tight hug. He cried into my shoulder. Then unable to hold it in I cried.

My door opened again and the rest of my tiny flock stood.

"We heard you crying" Nudge said. I nodded at them to come in. Iggy sat beside me and pulled me into a hug. I pulled Nudge to my side. Total and Akila snuggled to our legs.

We all shed tears for many hours. When we had stopped the sky outside was turning pink. Looking up Iggy was asleep head resting against my headboard.

Gasman was asleep head on Nudge whose sleeping head was on the pillow. The dogs had cuddled up to one another and were also asleep.

Prising myself from Iggy's arms I went to the window. Taking a long look I saw no threat coming towards me or my flock. So I leapt from the room.

Falling, before I hit the ground I spread my winds. My eyes were watering. Not from the wind. Man I was Turing into a right cry baby.

I landed and collapsed against a tree. Tears streamed down my face. My chest heaved with each sob.

"Max" I turned on my heal, that wasn't one of my mini flock for sure.

My eyes widened taking in who was standing. "Ah..."
