A/N: hope you enjoy this next chapter, still working on the Max sarcasm stuff :P

The Feeling of the wind in my hair, of having my best friend and soul mate next to me, of being able to let go and allow my wings to carry me to my destination was exhilarating. For once I wasn't flying to go and save the world since.. if you couldn't tell the sky was falling and I DOUBT there was anything I could do about it at the moment, instead I was flying to reunite with my family. All of them safe and ALIVE.

I could make out the cave a couple miles away and pushed myself forward knowing that real soon I could hug my little monsters.

"Whoa, slow down there Max, it's not like the cave is going anywhere anytime soon." I sighed as I recognized the voice beside me.

Dylan.

He was the only member of the flock who could keep up with me when I speed warped, or whatever you called it to make me go faster.

"Hey Dylan," I nodded, acknowledging him for the first time since we left for the cave.

"Hey Max," he said a smile splitting across his features. I thought about getting the inevitable 'it's not you it's me' shpeal out of the way but he grabbed my hand before I could say anything.

"Look Max, I know that no matter what you'll always go back to Fang. But just know that no matter what, I'll always love you and be here for you." His smile and words were so genuine, that I couldn't help hugging him, forgetting for a moment that our wings would not be able to flap and so there we were free falling from the sky and I was kind of oblivious.

"Umm Max, I don't mind the hug but uh… we are both falling out of the sky" he chuckled as the shock registered on my face.

I couldn't help laughing at the sight of it all from someone else's perspective, as we broke away. We probably looked like two giant birds spiraling out of control. Before I could compose myself Fang and Angel caught up.

"Hey there." Fang said and I noticed his jaw was tense and his knuckles were white from clenching his fists. I rolled my eyes and flew towards him grabbing his hand and giving it a gentle squeeze of assurance.

"Nothing to see here, let's go and find the rest of the flock!"
