Title: Out of the Shadows
Summary: Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Angel, and the Gasman have decided to spend a few weeks away from the city. They flee to the Catskills, near the city, and stumble upon Danni Fisher. Iggy and Danni form a relationship, but what happens when Nudge and the School want to interfere? Each have their own reasons and hopes for this budding couple.

Chapter One
They had been flying for a while. The sun was starting to set and the air was becoming colder.
"I'm hungry," Angel said to Max. They hadn't eaten since that morning.
With a sigh Max nodded and descended. They had reached the Catskills, but every place they had flied over was occupied. Happy families or madly in love couples stopped the six transgenic kids from being happy themselves.
You see the six of them were born in a lab called the School. They were 98 human and 2 bird. That 2 made a huge difference. They could fly. That's right they had wings and they could use them.
Fang had had the brilliant idea to split up. Fang and the Gasman. Max and Angel. Iggy and Nudge.
Nudge guided Iggy by the belt loop since Iggy was blind. The brilliant scientist, if you can call them that, had the idea of creating better eyesight. Their guinea pig? That's right Iggy. The results? No, not amazing vision but blindness.
"Hey guys over here," Max called and Angel pointed to an unlit cabin. Are you thinking what they're thinking? That's right, break in and have a little R & R.
Meanwhile---
Danni had just taken a shower and pulled on her gray nightshirt and black night shorts, time for bed.
Her parents were getting a divorce they where in the city to make the final arrangements. This was going to be her father's house. They had lived in the city, but now her mother would live in the city and her father would live here and run a bookstore or something down at the town five miles away.
Danni, for the time being, was living in the cabin alone. She liked it; it was better then hearing the yells of her parents.
She sat on the couch and debated weather she should actually sleep or watch a little TV. If she was lucky some dumb preteen show would be on and she could make fun of it. A million laughs right there.
She crossed her legs and reached for the remote. With her hand on the remote she froze. The soft sound of a window opening was barely audible, but was there.
She slowly stood and placed the remote on the couch. Taking a deep breath she reminded herself that she had a brown belt in Karate. It was something.
Six figures filled into the room and seemed to freeze upon the sight of Danni. She flicked on the light to see three girls and three guys, all very, very shocked.
Her eyes adjusted fast enough to see what came next.
