Prolog-ish thing
Angel POV
I sighed softly and tilted my head back to try and see the roof the of huge house. We hadn't saved the world yet, but the flock had found a huge load of files on everyone. Now we all wanted to find our real families and experience being normal- well as much as we can be normal. Max didn't want us to leave her, she knew it would nearly kill her to have her family leave, but she also knew we wanted our real parents. Max was taking us to our real homes, I think only Fang and I saw how much pain she was really in, what Fang doesn't know is how much its hurting Max that he's leaving too. She won't show it. Not even to him. I reached out and clutched Max's hand, squeezing it hard as Gazzy stepped forward and pressed the pineapple shaped doorbell. (A/N I HAVE ONE OF THOSE!!)
(Ok, skip ahead a few months. Now it's only Fang and Max left. The rest are at their homes (I'd rather not go into intense detail so not to bore you))
Max POV
I sat in a tree in front of Fang's would-be house. I told him I would come and say goodbye to him after he was settled and the shock had subsided to a minor uproar. He didn't question why I wouldn't go to the door with him, but we're best friends, and never need to explain anything. I watched as he loped up the narrow path to the front steps from the street, he turned to my tree, and after flashing a quick grin turned to ring the bell. The house was nothing spectacular, but then it wasn't an old run down apartment. Dull brown paint with black shutters, strangely perfect lawn though, maybe one of them is a landscaper? I don't know. I was dragged out of my thoughts by the creak of a door opening and watched as a slight woman stepped onto the porch. Like the house, she was nothing extraordinary but then, not boring at the same time. She stared at Fang for a few minutes, as he explained. Well, I think he explained, not even super-bird kid hearing could catch low phrases from across a perfectly manicured lawn. A tiny sob burst from my lips as the woman hugged Fang, clinging to him like he was a life vest and she was drowning. I squeezed my eyes shut and took off from the tree, using my speed to get out of there fast. The first thermal I caught I floated on, a few tears slipping down my cheeks, Why are you crying?! I yelled at myself Get over it! They're happy, you should be too! I continued to batter myself inwardly, but on the outside I still cried. Yup, the great maximum Ride, CRYING!? Apocalypse must be coming right? Let it come then, the Flock had left me, I had nothing left. I sped away from the thermal, from Fang, from everything, letting the power and speed of my flight consume my feelings. Eventually though, my wings folded. I mean, you can only go at 200 mph for so long. I crashed into a tree, not caring where I was. I blacked out as soon as I lay across the limb, I decided in the second before, that I would restart after destroying Itex and hopefully saving the world…
