The Scent of Dead skin on the Linoleum Floor

The I.V. and your hospital bed
This was no accident
This was a therapeutic chain of events

It took me two years. Two years to save the world. My destiny had been completed, and yet I still hadn't expired. The Voice left, and I finally felt relief, relaxation, and rest. It took us a while to recover from the constant paranoia of Erasers, white coats and crazed killer clones out for the kill. If you know of an easier way to deal with it, then hey, drop a line.

A year after I had saved the world from an insane group of people about to make the world explode, we went on a journey to find the flock's parents, and we did. All of them. Except of course, mine. The process of the flock leaving took another year, and a half. Making me, Fang, and Iggy, 18.

The first of my flock, my family to go, was Nudge. It turned out that the woman in the trailer park Nudge and Fang had seen, had been her aunt. We had all helped her gain the courage to go back to Arizona and talk to her. It turns out that her mom; her real mom lived in the next town, in a house, a nice house actually. Nudge had 2 brothers and a sister, and her dad seemed really nice.

We decided to stay with her when she told her parents about the School, her wings, and her power. None of the flock was going to face that alone. From Iggy's past experience it was horrible. Nudge's parents were shocked at first, then, they cried hearing about all Nudge had gone through. So I guess they really did care. But I was still skeptical. And then they thanked Fang and me profusely. Why only us I'll have no idea, it was the entire flock who made sure she stayed with us, she stayed safe, we all took care of each other.

Angel cried the most; Nudge was her best friend, her sister. She even tried to control Nudge's mind to make her stay with us. But we all stopped her.

I cried so hard that night when I was on watch. I know, it was useless, no one was chasing us, but old habits die hard. Nudge was family. I couldn't believe I was going to have to go through this three more times. Fang comforted me that night, hugged me tight and chased my tears away.

He and I were kind of more than friends for a while now. It was a secret from the rest of the flock for about two days. Angel read my mind about it and told everyone. I still remember all of their reactions. Angel, smiling…no…beaming. She was so happy. Why? I have no idea. Nudge laughed at our embarrassment. And Gazzy and Iggy snickered.

Iggy's parents in Virginia turned out, not to be his real parents. We had found his REAL parents in Pennsylvania and they were a lot nicer and more understanding. Gazzy tried to put on a brave face. He and Iggy used to be inseparable. The trouble making, bomb hiding/exploding duo was coming to an end, and I think all of our hearts broke at that thought. Angel cried and gave Iggy a huge hug. Then it was my turn "Jesus, Ig. I'll miss you so much." He hugged me back, "I'll miss you too Max,"

Then, Gazzy my little trouper, and Angel, my baby had to go. We'd found their parents in Massachusetts. I hated them. I mean, they gave Gazzy and Angel away to the white coats, to a life of misery, pain, ever constant running and at times….at the worst of times, torture. But the kids had forgiven them in the excitement of actually finding their parents, and they wanted to get a chance to live a normal life.

I ruffled Gazzy's hair one last time, and gave him a hug. Then I squeezed angel, my Angel, my baby. And I cried, I couldn't keep my brave face, and I hated it. Fang put his hand on my shoulder, both for support and to say 'time to go', I let them go.

That night Fang told me he loved me. I stared into his perfect dark eyes and got lost in them, "I love you too," I whispered. And then, well, things just went on from there. I don't know how, but…it did….we did….well, it. Two weeks later Fang found his mom and broke my heart, he stayed with her.

Three weeks after that, I found out I was pregnant. Yep, it was a shocker to me too. I didn't know what to do, I was scared. So, I did the most stupid thing I've probably ever done in my entire life. I found Sam, and lived with him.

I found out before I saved the world, to school took him and gave him super-strength. They wanted to see how experiments of DNA grafting would work out on a sixteen year old. Two years later, proved pretty darn good because he felt great and really was super strong. Stronger than me, that I know for sure.

I had told Sam I was pregnant two months into our sham of a relationship and he thought the baby was his. I hated what I did with him. I felt filthy about it. I felt like I was betraying Fang.

We live together in a small home.

When I was seven months pregnant we got into an argument about money, in the kitchen. I know, Maximum Ride, the girl always on the run from psychotic Erasers and crazed white coats arguing about finances. Anyway we were arguing about finances, the baby was coming soon, and he was stressed, and he hit me. Hard. I fell on to the linoleum floor and winced from the pain. I told you I knew he had super-strength.

This is the scent of dead skin on a linoleum floor
This is the scent of quarantine wings in a hospital
It's not so pleasant
And it's not so conventional
It sure as hell ain't normal
But we deal, we deal

His eyes widened horrified at his own actions and apologized profusely. "Don't you ever do that again," I spat at him, "now help me up." "Do you forgive me?" He really did look sorry, and I couldn't get up by myself so I forgave him. And two months later, the baby came.

I had to have the baby at home. Sam was paranoid about hospitals, because of the whole School thing. And personally so was I but, I mean this was ridiculous! It was a baby boy. He had beautiful dark dark brown eyes, almost black, and his mall tiny wings, they were jet black. He looked exactly like Fang.

I smiled at him adoringly, looking at Fang's and my son. And I swear I saw him smirk, and then it turned into a huge smile. He was then ripped from my arms by a very angry Sam, "What the fuck is this you filthy whore!?! Whose baby is this!?" My mouth was hanging open. He was dangling my baby by one arm, the baby was screaming, he was hurting my baby.

"Stop! You're hurting him! Sam Please!" I am not going to let him hurt my baby. I got up from the bed. Ugh, I'm still so tired and sore. And I tried to take the baby away from him. But he just pushed me back and I hit the wall. There's a warm liquid trickling down the back of my neck. I was so tired, my entire body is aching, and now I'm losing blood. Fast. Not good. Crap, oh crap, gotta stay awake.

Everything was fading to black, the last thing I saw was a beautiful baby boy staring at me, in the arms of a stranger. The last thing I heard before my world had become engulfed in darkness were my baby's pleading screams.

Just sit back, just sit back
Just sit back and relax
Just sit back, just sit back
Just sit back and relapse again
