Iggy's Heartthrob
AN: Hey guys! I just read Maximum Ride, and I LOVE it, so I decided to do a FanFic about it, with a character with my name, and I couldn't bear to break up Fang and Max, so Iggy and Rachel (Ray) are the hot new item of the flock!

I
walked down the alley in New York. I had flown down into this alley,
and I was looking around hoping. I held a picture of a little blonde
haired boy with blue eyes in my hand. He just, looked like me…
I
don't know, it was weird, My eyes were brown, my hair was brown, he
didn't really look like me at all, but I felt sort of drawn to him.
I'd had this picture since I could remember, and I always sort of
wished he was my brother. It was a wish that I'd fueled with facts
from files that I'd nicked from one of the scientists (for lack of
a better word) at the school. That hell hole that I had grown up in,
only to be rejected when I was eight. I had grown up really fast. The
file had said that 03904567, or Angel, as the file had said in
brackets, 03987657, or Gasman? And 03910113, Me, Ray all came from
the same donor. I guess that made us siblings, right? Anyway, I was
looking for Gasman, and Angel. I was going to find him if it was the
last thing I did.

We were
walking in a straight line. I was leading (as usual) and Fang was
bringing up the rear. Nudge was behind me, chattering in my ear about
how that scarf would go perfectly with that girl's dress, and that
she should really go and buy it, because the hue was also great with
her hair color, etc. I yawned. We were just walking. We weren't
looking for anything really, besides a place to sleep. I turned into
an alley, and saw a girl at the end, coming towards us. Her eyes were
glued to a piece of paper, maybe a picture. She didn't look
threatening, so I kept going. Then she collided with me, oblivious as
she obviously was.
"Omigosh! I am so sorry! I'm such a klutz,
I'll just get out of your way!"
"That's okay, but watch
it next time." I replied sullenly. Then I saw the picture that had
landed next to her. It was Gazzy. I snatched it up.
"Where'd
you get this?" I asked fiercely, vigilant, and on my feet. She too
jumped to her feet, and grabbed it back from me. She shouldn't have
been able to…
"It's my brother, dip-stick!" she snarled.
"I don't think so, it's the Gasman!" I snarled back. She
looked shocked.
"Where is he? Please, let me see him! Is he
okay? Oh, god."
"You aren't getting anywhere near him!"
Then Angel tugged on my sleeve. Her blue eyes were wide with
shock.
"Is that Angel?" The intruder said.
"What is it
Ange?" I whispered in a voice that should have been to low for the
intruder to hear, but obviously, she did.
"It is
Angel! My sister!" She whooped.
"Rachel
is telling the truth." Angel whispered.
"Her name is Rachel?"
I asked,
"I prefer Ray." She answered. Clearly elated.
"I
don't care either way." I growled between clenched teeth. Then
Gazzy stepped in front of me. I had to admit. Standing side, by side
Rachel, Angel and the Gasman all looked kind of alike. Rachel had
brown hair, and eyes, but they all had the same shape of jaw, and the
same skin tone. None of them had freckles; they all had the same
smile, which was plastered onto all three, like faces. My mouth
opened in awe, but I snapped it shut again. Iggy stepped forward
hesitantly with an amused looking Fang at his side, and tapped my
shoulder.
"We should invite her to stay with us." Iggy
whispered.
"Absolutely not! She doesn't have… what we
have." I finished shakily, careful not to spill the beans, or
feathers…
"Well, pop goes perfection" Rachel said. "What
do you guys have? You're all from the school right? Well, at least
Angel and the Gasman are…" How did she know that?
"She knew
because she has wings too!" Angel said happily, as Rachel nodded
and extended her beautiful gray, butterfly-like wings as a feather
drifted to the floor. Shock-ER.

"Well,
what's your name?" I asked the Blondie.
"I'm Max, and
this is Iggy," she gestured to the other blonde-haired boy, "and
that's Fang." She pointed to a dark loner-looking guy on Iggy's
other side. Iggy's eyes were sort of glazed over; he must be blind,
poor guy. Maybe from the school's tests? Then a look of horror fell
on Max's freckled face, "Where's Nudge?" she cried as a black
girl popped up behind her looking amused. "Right her, silly!" she
shrieked, and Max relaxed a little, though she was clearly still wary
of me. I couldn't blame her. I would be wary of me too. Iggy tapped
Max again.
"She probably has no where to go. Let her stay with
us." He said. My heart went out to him. I really wanted to stay
with Gazzy and Angel. My family. That felt great to say.
"Fine.
How old are you anyway? And why don't we know you?"
"I'm
thirteen. I was in a room, in a cage al by myself. They were going to
send me to space, so they were trying to make it so I didn't have
to breath. My wings look different from other avian hybrids, because
they're designed for space. Let's just say it didn't work out."
I winced remembering the tests, "They were going to 'retire'
me" I made air quotes with my fingers around the word retire "when
I escaped. I wasn't about to let them kill me. The other thing
about me is, I don't have an expiry date. They didn't really
expect it to work, so they didn't bother putting one in. And the
breathing thing did work. I don't have to breathe. I just do it out
of habit." I stopped when I realized they were all staring at me
like I was responsible for the death of their grandmother's.
"What?" I asked bemused.
"Nothing." Iggy said, his
face the only sympathetic among five other enraged. Max wiped the
expression off of her face, and then said,
"Well, I guess you
can stay with us for now…
DISCLAIMER I DON'T OWN IT SADLY!!
AN: Hope you enjoyed my little first chapter of Iggy's Heartthrob. I know Total wasn't in it, but let's say he was hiding from Ray? Okay, well make up your own idea of where he was! I'm tired! I also know a lot of it is hard to believe, but so's six flying kids and their talking dog, so there you go!
