I haven't a written on here since... when? So long. Too long. Wow. Oh well! On with the story!

Iggy: She doesn't own Maximum Ride. Heck, she doesn't even own me! She just pulled a St. Fang Of Boredom move and kidnapped me in a time warp.

Me: I have the 13 year-old Iggy, lol. But I do own Doogles McFly! He's not in this story though.

Iggy: ...who?

Me: Doogles McFly, you and Fang's son. Total hottie, btw.

Iggy: O.o

Me: lol, I also own Nikki, just saying.

Fang landed in an alley with a grunt. He was tired, hungry, and dirty. Nothing new there. Ever since he'd left the Flock he'd been flying from place to place, looking for escaped mutants to join his new Flock. But so far he'd had no luck. He exited the alley and made his way down the street, towards a less run-down part of the city. He figured it would be smarter to land somewhere where there weren't a lot of people to see him. Fang rummaged around in his pocket, managing to find a half-eaten granola bar. He popped it into his mouth and stuck the wrapper into his pocket to deal with later.

As he passed by a dark alley, Fang heard a whimper, and someone chuckle darkly. This was echoed by more chuckles. He stopped to listen. Another whimper. "What's wrong, babe? Don't you want to have some fun?" I boy said. His words were slurred and he stumbled over them, like his tongue was too big for his mouth.

"G-get away!" Someone- obviously a girl- said in a scared voice. There was more laughter.

"Hear that boys? I think she just needs me to make the first move!" The boy said snidely.

"Get off! Stop! HELP, HELP!" The girl began screaming. Fang immeidiantly turned and dashed into the alley. He rounded a corner to find a gang of boys all crowded around a girl, against the dead end. Three of the boys were holding her, and another was towering over her menacingly. Her foot snapped up and kicked the boy in the face, his head snapping back. Another came forward and slapped her, hard. There were easily thirty of them. Fang could take them on.

"Hey!" He shouted angrily. The gang turned in suprise to see Fang, his eyes blazing. "What do you think your doing?" He asked. His voice was calm, and yet it was enough to make even a grown man become scared. One of the braver, and definitely more drunk boys, stepped forward.

"None of your business!" He slurred angrily.

"Help me!" The girl said, struggling against her captors. Fang saw one step forward and suddenly swung his foot around in a roundhouse kick, sending him sprawling. There was a moment of stunned silence before He lunged at them. He kicked and punched left and right, taking out his bent up emotions on them. It didn't take more then a few moments.

"That was satisfying." Fang said, looking around at all the unconscious boys.

"T-thank you." Someone said. Fang turned around to find the girl from before, looking pale and scared.

"No problem." He told her. The girl had long, straight blond hair and an angular face. Her large eyes looked almost yellow in the dim lighting. They reminded him of a cat's eyes. She was wearing a black ski hat, the kind that was made of black yarn and had the ear flaps with the short rope hanging off. She also had on a red shirt that said 'Bite Me' in block letters, a black sweatshirt at least two sizes to big for her, a red miniskirt over black cargo pants and red converse. She smiled hesitantly and Fang blinked, a high level on Fang's suprise meter. Her canine teeth were sharp, almost like an Eraser's fangs, but... different.

Fang turned and began walking down the alley. There was a shuffling, scraping noise behind him and the girl caught up. "I'm Nikki." She told him with another small smile. Fang nodded.

"Nick." He said simply. She laughed.

"That's like my name!" She said happily.

"Yep." Fang said with a nod. There was a moment of silence, and Nikki continued to walk beside him. He gave her a curious look. "Why're you following me?" He asked. She shrugged.

"I don't know. It's a dangerous part of the city, I figure I'll walk with you until it gets more populated." Nikki said with a shrug. Fang grunted. They walked in silence a little longer, until Nikki broke the silence again.

"Hey, do you read Fang's blog?" She asked happily.

"Yeah." He said with a nod.

"Me too. I really wish a could meet him. It would be awesome." She said. Fang hid a smile.

"You got a crush on him?" He asked sarcastically.

"No way, I never met the guy!" She said. "And anyways, if anyone it would be Iggy." Fang nodded with a smirk. Ig would love to hear that. A feeling of melancholy overtook him at the thought of his best friend, but he shook it off. He couldn't afford to have those thoughts now.

They had entered the active part of the city by now, but Nikki still walked beside him. When he glanced over at her he found that she was staring at him intently. "Something wrong?" He asked.

"Nah." She said, shifting her gaze to his bulky windbreaker. He shifted uncomfortably and she smiled, her fangs flashing again. "Sorry. Didn't mean to stare." She told him. He nodded.

They kept walking, and when he looked at her again, there was a sad look on her face. "I guess I should get going, huh?" She asked. Fang remained silent. "Thought so. I'll just go... home." She said, hesitating sightly before the word. She turned and began walking in a random direction.

"You don't have a home, do you?" Fang said calmly. Nikki stopped walking. She slowly turned around with a defeated look.

"No." She mumbled, tugging her hat a little more tightly over her head.

"Didn't think so. C'mon." He said, motioning for her to follow him. She frowned.

"Your not going to invite me into your house, are you, Nick? Because I won't come." She told him. Fang smiled.

"Nope. I don't have a home either. And call me Fang." He said. Silence. Nikki stared at him, her mouth hanging open.

"No way." She said in shock.

"Yes, way." Fang said. He was pretty sure that Nikki was a mutant. His first clue had been the fangs, then when they'd gotten into better light, he'd realized that her eyes were yellow, with slits for pupils, like a cats. And now she didn't have a home, and talked about Fang's blog. It added up and he hoped it wa true. Because if it wasn't, then he had just told some girl who he was.

"I..." She trailed off with a frustrated frown, then a laughed bubbled up out of her. "How ironic, I look for you for two years, and when I finally find you, I don't know what to say." She said, laughing again. Fang found himself smiling in spite of himself. He hadn't had the blog two years ago. She must have heard about the Flock from the Whitecoats, right?

"So, what are you?" He questioned. Nikki looked around to see if anyone was around them. They had made their way into a large park in the center of the city, and there wasn't anyone around.

"I'm 2% bird-" Fang cut her off.

"Like us?" He asked. She gave him a look.

"Yeah, but you didn't let me finish." She then reached up and pulled of her hat. Fang blinked. There were two, black furry cat ears poking out from under her blonde hair. "I'm also 3% cat."

So? What do you think? Nikki and Fang are gonna get an entire Flock of their own. Cool, huh?

Iggy: She wants you to reveiw.

Me: please?
