Blast from the Future
"So what are we going to do about Dr. Evil and his little masterpiece?" Nudge asked, with disdain seeping from every word. Everyone turned to Jeb and Max, who were sitting across from each other at the table. Max, feeling all eyes upon her, looked up and sighed heavily. "Don't look at me…I don't have all the answers." She then got up and went to sit on the window ledge. Only Fang kept his eyes on her. Only he could see the toll all of this was taking on her.
Silence was heard in the room until Iggy began drumming his fingers impatiently on the table. Turning his head to Jeb (how he did that so accurately being blind remained an unnerving mystery) he shot off, "You're the mad scientist, what's your devious plan?" Jeb shook his head and ran his hand through his graying hair tiredly. "This time I have nothing." "So we're just supposed to let Fang die and Dylan take Max away." He looked like such a little kid then that everyone felt an ache in their hearts.
"Not if we can help it," said an unknown voice. Everyone snapped their attention over to the entryway where two mysterious figures were currently residing. The one who had spoken was a girl. She looked to about seventeen, had dark hair, dark eyes, and a tall, lithe body. The boy next to her was even taller than her, had bright blue eyes, dirty blonde hair, and an athletic tone to his body.
"Who are you?" asked Fang in a quiet but lethal voice. The boy responded in a sarcastic, playful manner," Oh, how rude of us, we've forgotten our manners dear sister of mine."
Then in a more serious tone he continued, "I am Ignatius Ari Ride."
The girl sighed and then stated, "And I am Maximum Evermore Ride."
Together they chorused, "We're from the future."
