Hello peeps! This is my first Maximum Ride Fanfic, so I hope you like. I don't own Maximum Ride, sadly, the wonderful James Patterson does. I have 2 OC's in this, Hailey and Ashlynn. Tks! BTW, this takes place about two weeks before Fang's Gang, and there's no Dylan. I hated that jerk anyway.

Max's POV

"Yo, guys. Up and at 'em!" I stood up and unfurled my wings. Around me, the flock blearily got to their feet. Nudge was basically sleepwalking.

"Wha? Why so early…" The Gasman stumbled and leaned against Iggy, snoring. I shook Gazzy awake and rubbed Nudge's back.

"We've gotta do what we gotta do." I said looking out on the horizon. We had crashed in some part of Redmond, on a hill that overlooked a park. We should have probably chosen a safer spot, but Nudge and Gazzy refused to go any farther. And Angel… it still hurt to think about her. About what had happened.

"Five more minutes, please!" Iggy groaned and flopped back onto the grass.

"Nope." I pulled Iggy up as Nudge and Gazzy grudgingly opened their wings. Fang was already flying in slow circles above us.

"What do we have to do anyway?" Total grimaced and stretched.

"Remember? In Dr. Gummy Hagen's lab, we saw a file. About other human avian experiments. The only two surviving ones beside us are here." Gazzy looked frantically around. Iggy face-palmed.

"Not here, Idiot!" Iggy flicked Gazzy's head and Gazzy scowled at him.

"No, not here. We're heading to the big city. Actually, the big needle." Total whooped.

"Finally, a piece of modern art!" Nudge rolled her eyes.

"It's the Seattle Space Needle. The most it can be used for is a Giant's sewing kit." Total glared at Nudge.

"No, it is not! It's a modern wonder! It's a- a- "I silenced Total with a wave.

"Stuff it. Less talking, more flying." So, one by one, we took off into the cool morning.

So, how was that? I think it's Fangalicious. (He he) Please review, and say what you think should happen next. I'll take a few suggestions.

Keep calm and let Iggy drive the car,
