A/N hello people, well I'm Lexisrush, like my thing at the top says. Well this is the first A/N for this fanfic so I should probably say something witty or whatever. So here is whatever, thank you Fang for me using your page to get your flock together (somehow that didn't sound right?). And Fang's alter ego said I was supposed to add something like: I don't own Fang! (Maximum Ride), 'coz she wants to be special and make me mention her . . . by the way it's her page on Facebook. Also thank you Fang's Flock that I could use you in this, although I think you owe me a thank you, lol joke, guys just comment okay and tell me what you think.
Yo, I'm Fang, if you're reading this it means you've found my story after I left Max and the flock, if you want to know more, read on, I'm not going to make this easy for you.
Let's start. It's been two years since I left, it's the anniversary today by the way. Yeah I know it's weird and I should move on, after all I left them; I can't help but think back to that day. I left back then and took my frustrations out on the nearest tree I could find, but that didn't help so I started to search for a lab where I could senselessly beat the crap out of a bunch of scientists.
Anyway to get to the point I found a lab, beat the crap out of their defences (M-Geeks) and was about to leave when something in a cage caught my eye.
I could have walked away back then, turn my back and not get involved. I could have left like I usually would have done, but I felt compelled to help (so that's how Max felt when she saw Ella that one time almost getting herself beat up way in the beginning, we could have flied on but Max went down to help) so anyway like I said I turned to the cage.
She looked up at me, scared, heck she saw me beat up a bunch of white coats and I even ripped a M-geek's head off with my bare hands. I walked up to her cage and she didn't crawl back or even cower, she looked curiously at me, her green eyes hopeful?
I found the key to her cage and unlocked her, I walked away planning on going after another lab when I suddenly realised she was following me.
So basically I couldn't shake her and decided to keep her around, she was a nice kid. Turns out her name was Shannon, a strong 12 year old girl with golden blond hair and green eyes. Sure she was strong but she couldn't fight, so I couldn't just let her fend for herself.
Flash forward almost two years and here we are, me silently celebrating a day that changed a lot of lives and Shannon none the wiser.
"Eat up. You're not going to sulk around all day again are you?" She asked as she placed my breakfast in front of me, just for the record I don't sulk.
"Yeah. Whatever." I said and continued to read an article in the newspaper about how some things with wings, a guy and girl, stopped a bunch of criminals from mugging a guy. I hear the guy's hot by the way.
"You can act happy you know, we saved that guy's life." She said with a slight attitude, I didn't have to look up to know she was smiling proudly.
"Yeah but it could have gone wrong, your still not the best fighter."
"I've been practicing."
"But you're still not good enough."
"But I've been doing this for the past two years now."
"I've been doing this for the past 14 years now."
There was a knock on the door so we couldn't go on with our 'little' disagreement.
"I'll get it. No, you just stay seated, wouldn't want you to strain yourself." Shannon said as she walked to the door, was that sarcasm I sensed?
I listened how she unlocked the various locks on the heavy door of the flat. . .

And then silence.
"Yo Nick! I think you should get out here!" She was using my fake name, we didn't use our real names in front of people, just paranoid I guess.
I stood up and carefully made my way to the door, before I walked out of the kitchen I peaked around the bend to see if it may be trouble, habit. First I saw Shannon, she looked worried and had her hand over her mouth, then I saw the two at the door.
"Oh shit. . ."was all I could say before I made my way to them just in time to keep the girl from falling into the door.
There were two of them like I said, a tall brownish haired guy and a shorter but still lean dirty blond girl covered in blood. The guy was supporting the girl even though I could see he too had injuries.
Reluctantly I gave Shannon the go-ahead to let them in, she helped them to the couch. I silently cringed as I remembered how hard it was to get blood out of a good couch.
I stood there nonchalantly watching Shannon do her thing with the first aid kit, she bandaged up the girls arm after cleaning it. She continued to clean and bandage up all the bad injuries, cuts, gashes and bruises.
When she finished with their wounds I saw it as my chance to find out what happened, "So, did you get mauled by a rabid bear in the city or what?"
Shannon gave me that look that told me to shut up.
"You could probably say that. . ." The guy said before cringing and clutching his side, probably a cracked or broken rib.
"So, what was it?"
"Can we talk about this tomorrow, we need sleep."
"I don't let strangers bleed all over my couch and sleep in my bed."
The guy looked down at the girl who now rested her head on his shoulder, she was near sleep, "I'm Harry okay, and this is Colleen, can we sleep now?"
"Sure, Bailey take them to my room, she gets the bed, give him something for the floor," I ordered Shannon, looking back at the guy I continued, "watch out for the cockroaches and don't bother trying to sneak off in the night."
With that I walked all badass out of the room, leaving Shannon with the two of them.
Later that night Shannon joined me in the kitchen again.
"Their injuries look familiar don't they?" She asked while leaning against the counter.
"Yeah."
"You know what they are right?"
"Unfortunately."
"Someone could have followed them."
"I am aware of that."
"We're going to have to help them."
"G'night, I'm going to sleep." I said and got up, walking out I sensed the conversation wasn't over, so I left it for tomorrow.
The next morning I woke up on the ground in the living room, smelling eggs and bacon. I heard people talking and finally got up.
In the kitchen (starting to sound like the only room in the flat) Shannon was busy frying some eggs, she and the girl, Colleen, were chatting away, she looked better.
"Where's Harry?" I asked and took my normal seat.
"Mornin' Nick, yeah I slept good thank you very much, how did you sleep?" Shannon said, never taking her eyes of the pan.
"He's taking a shower, Bailey gave him some of your old clothes." Colleen said, she even sounded better.
"Oh and I slept good thank you Bailey." Shannon smiled and served my eggs. I piled it and the bacon on my toast and dug in.
I was just about to take a big bite of my bacon, eggs and toast sandwich when the guy came walking into the kitchen with his wings out in the open. This isn't weird coz of the whole wings thing, I see wings every day. The thing that was weird is the fact that he wasn't wearing a shirt and he didn't know we knew about things like that, or did he?
"What's for breakfast?" He said dripping with confidence, this is also the first time I actually noticed his English accent.
"Bacon and eggs." Colleen said happily, but never actually smiling.
"Am I the only one who is remotely concerned with the half naked guy in our kitchen with wings?" I finally asked.
"Okay, no sense in hiding it, we know who you are." Harry said as he made his way to the table and took a piece of toast.
I stood up in the mean time, just in case.
"So you know who we are?" Shannon asked, I noticed how she was shifting her weight to her back leg, meaning she was ready for anything they could do.
"Actually we only know who he is, you we don't know so much. . ." Colleen said taking a mouth full of scrambled eggs.
"Who are you?" I almost snarled at Harry.
"Well like you already know I'm Harry, she's Tempest, we're birdkids, like you already saw . . . I have wings" he said and absently smoothed out the top feathers of his almost pure white wings "and you're Fang!" (To be honest I really didn't expect him to know who I was)
"What do you want?" I asked all badassly, and yeah I am badass.
"We want you to help us save our friends!" Tempest/Colleen said, she looked seriously pissed so I backed up a little.
"Sure I'll risk my life for a bunch of people I don't know who probably doesn't even exist and walk into a trap, sure why not?" I sarcastically answered and walked towards the front door and opened it. "You're free to go."
"Fang we didn't come here to lead you into a trap, we're here for your help." Harry answered calmly, does he ever get mad or even mildly pissed?
"Okay really, I'm here too!" Shannon finally huffed (Huffed? Really?) after an awkward silence.
"We're not leaving until you agree to help us!" Tempest/Colleen totally ignored Shannon.
Shannon snapped at Tempest (I'm just gonna call her that), Harry just stood there and smirked at the two girls who by now were engaged in a debate about ignoring someone and helping and something about eggs.
I rubbed my temples as the old lady from across the hall stared at the soap opera that was playing itself out in our flat, I closed the door and by now the two girls were shouting at the top of their lungs.
"Harry control your girl. . ." I said going back to my seat, and just like that Tempest turned her attention back to me, I have a feeling I just crossed the line, from the side of my vision I saw Harry smirk and mumble something.
"I AM NOT HIS GIRL!"
"Oh god this is getting us nowhere. . ." I mumbled, feeling a headache creeping its way into my head.
"It'll all stop if you help us save our friends." Harry commented al sing songy. Tempest was still ranting about how she and Harry weren't even good friends.
"OKAY, we'll help! Just shut up!" I finally agreed.
"Yeah don't ask my opinion, not like I know anything." Shannon was busy taking out her frustrations on the poor bacon.
"You're not coming." I said to Shannon plainly and her head snapped up to look at me, I was almost tempted to ask her if her neck was okay, whiplash is painful.
"Oh you're not leaving me here!"
Well somewhere in the argument of Shannon staying at the flat Harry and Tempest slipped out of the kitchen to the living room. The argument ended with me giving into Shannon's Bambi eyes and all four of us going on a rescue mission/potential trap.
But first things first, you don't go on a mission without your rescue team's stats, so here it goes: Me (Fang if you haven't noticed) Age: 17
Powers: Breath under water, blend to background (I can almost completely go invisible), my awesomeness.
Looks: Black hair, longish, dark hair, dark olive skin, tallish for my age, black wings
Shannon: Age: 14
Powers: speed, agility
Looks: Blond hair, green eyes, tallish, light skin, white wings
Harry: Age: 16
Powers: Ninjaness(don't ask me, he says he's got it); fire dancing (he said it's something like he can manipulate fire)
Looks: Tall, light brown hair and dark at the tips, his hair needs a cut (I know mine also needs a cut but anyway); his hair falls over his one eye, pale blue eyes, light skin, his wings are white and brown at the bottom, like they're dipped in chocolate(WTH?)
Tempest: age: 16
Powers: she says she can control people but it takes a lot of energy and she can cause them pain by just thinking about it (remind me not to piss her off)
Looks: very light almost white hair and very long, strange gray eyes, tall, white wings dipped in black.
Okay there we are, happy now?
A/N2 Okay I'm gonna leave it right there, hope you liked it and yeah I know the first chaps are going to be a little shaky but I hope I'll get better, so give me some feedback. And I'm expecting reviews from a few people, you know who you are so tell me what you think.
