Summary: Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel are all a band rogue spies; they all went off the map after a very… compromising… mission to the main branch of Itex. Now, since they are a little closer to Itex than planned, they get to outrun Itex and every international authority! FAX and NIGGY!

Prologue
MAX POV
"Hey you! Get back here!" I was running as fast as I could. All I could think about was seeing my family again and getting back home. I turned down a hallway, realizing in was lit with natural light. There's a door! It was unlocked, and their all missing their shots. Anyone else wonder why bad guys suck at shooting? As I open my new, very (I'm talking less than 4 days) new wings are pushed open for the only second time. It doesn't feel any better the second time. But, I try not to think about the searing pain coursing through my old and newly acquired appendages as I fly for mine and my family's lives, to my home.
~Time Skip~
I was heating up some desert rat, that would go nicely with my protein bar and twizzlers. I looked over to my back of spare equipment that I had stashed in the emergency safe house. Then I noticed that the tree wasn't that dark before. Someone is standing there; I slowly turn around and pretend to be missing something. I get into my bag for my throwing knives, I would get my gun but it's hard to be inconspicuous when I can feel myself being watched from all angles. I stand up to tend to my dinner, when I hear whispering coming from my left opposite of the strangely darkened tree. Whoever they are, they should know not to talk during observation as it tips the subject off. I heard something move, I stood up quickly as to hopefully catch my attacker off guard.
"Max? Hold it!" the speaker calls everyone off and shines some light on their faces, I see that it's Fang, my partner in operative work!
"Fang?" I turn around to see everyone, "Nudge, Angel, Gazzy and Iggy?" I can't believe it my family is here! "I thought you all were still at Itex, in The School."
"We were but we were told that you died so we were trying to escape to signal everyone at the Agency that Itex was really dangerous." Iggy, our lead weapons expert said. He looked pretty surprised. Come to think of it, all of them looked a little shaken up about the whole thing.
"Are you guys ok? I heard about you guys escaping and wanted to go with you." I was excited but, also a little confused. I decided I would be honest with them; they are my family after all. "I was actually mad that you would leave me here, when I found you I was going to have a little discussion with you but, I guess now since I know the whole story, I won't" I admitted.
"Gee… thanks" Fang said, the sarcasm dripping from his voice.
"I know right?! Thanks a whole bunch Max! We were all so depressed! Especially Fang , he was all silent. We all thought he had gone mute. But, he spoke up enough to keep us together! Gazzy and Angel though, they were the worst, they were crying for two wholes days straight. We almost went a got them an IV drip 'cause they were sooo dehydrated! I mean, Gazzy didn't even fart, at all it was sooo weird! Especially Angel sh-mmpsh" I put my hand over her mouth. I was glad that Nudge was okay but, really? Ladies and Gentlemen… the Nudge Channel!
"'I know right!' my ears they're bleeding!" Iggy proclaimed dramatically falling to the ground in rehearsed agony. Nudge came up to him a slapped him, hard. "What was that for?" Iggy yelled, now in real agony.
"You jerk! Did you see anyone else speaking up to inform Max of the happenings?" Nudge being as riled up as she was, slapped him again, harder. Iggy groaned slumping over, that's what happens when you're stuck behind metal firing machines all day, you're just not tough enough.
"You should have just skipped to the most important part!" Angel countered; she always took the winning side.
"Oh yeah… where's the paperwork? And the Pictures? Are you sure?" Everyone was murmuring around me about some issue. It was REALLY annoying. Tip #1: I hate being out of the loop.
"GUYS!" I yelled. "Tell me what's going on!" They all look like they were caught destroying their mothers' favorite vase. When no one spoke up I said, "You know how much I hate being out of the loop!" with an obvious underlying threat.
"Max… the agency betrayed us" Gazzy said with a grim look on his usually bright face.
"What?! They wouldn't do that we have been working for them for 10 years!" I yelled the last part. Why would they think that?
"Max look!" I took the documents Angel gave me and instantly pinched myself, hoping it was all a dream. "They sold us to Itex! They were working with them the whole time! Itex wanted to take kids that weren't going to show up on missing person lists. Itex made a branch of international intelligence to track their test subjects, until it was time to pounce. They were never our family." I sat down on a log. I was shocked that base operation center was our home for ten years; since I was seven I have lived there, trained there, and even met the people I loved there. How could this have happened?
"What are we going to do now Max?" Gazzy asked the most innocent of us all. We're not all that innocent since a pyrotechnics expert is our most innocent member.
"I don't know Gaz, I just don't know." I replied still letting the new information sink in.
"Why don't we all sleep and we can talk about it in the morning." Fang suggested. I shot him a grateful look, while everyone went to get their blankets. He came over and gave me a hug. I was surprised, considering he had only hugged each of us once, when we were all shot during an op. As I laid down to sleep I thought about what would happen. We would now have an international intelligence agency after us as well as crazy, nowhere-near-ethical scientists. I sighed and closed my eyes. What are we going to do now?
So, this is my first story. It is loosely based off of Burn Notice; I was watching it last night when the idea came to me. I know I didn't explain much in the first chapter but more info one everyone in the flock and the Agency background is coming soon.
