Coincide- Chapter 2

"I'll take first watch." Fang said walking out of the bathroom after taking his shower. He came to sit in front of me in the chair once again, but he stopped short seeing I was preparing to argue.

"No." I shook my head. "I think I'll take first watch."

"Why do you always have to fight with me over everything." He asked tilting his head to the side and crossing his arms over his chest.

"Not everything." I replied rolling my eyes.

"It's pretty much everything." Iggy piped up from the bed where he was inspecting one of his bombs. My eyes widened.

"Put that away." I shrieked jumping up from my chair. "You could blow us all up."

"Max, I'm the bomb guru." He said humorlessly. "I'm not going to accidentally kill us."

"Iggy please." I sighed helplessly.

"Fine." He muttered stashing it away once again. "Paranoid much?"

I ignored him and turned back to Fang who looked about a second away from laughter. I glared at him, but that only made his smirk grow into one of those smiles that lit up the room. I couldn't help but give a small smile of my own.

"Alright, so I've got first watch." Fang said finally plopping down into the chair.

"No, you don't." I argued sitting across from him. "Nice try."

"Alright, we'll flip a coin." He offered with a shrug.

"Fang, that's so juvenile, plus we don't have a coin." I stated. "I'll rock paper scissor you for it."

"Like that's not juvenile." Iggy whispered to himself.

"I heard that." I replied wasting a glare on him.

"Shoot on three." Fang snapped me bag to focus.

We both pumped our fists until the third where we both put out or choice. On the first time we both put out rock much to Gazzy's amusement and Ig's too when Gazzy told him the details. The second try I put out paper expecting Fang to try rock again, but he did scissors. Meaning he won.

"Scissors cut paper." He said with a smirk as he leaned closer pretending to cut my hand.

"I could of swore you'd go for rock again." I said wallowing in my current state of misery. If you haven't learned yet, I hate losing.

"I know, that's why I did scissors." He gloated. "I know you like the back of my hand."

I took a deep breath trying to calm my angered self, but it didn't work and I ended up kicking Fang underneath the table and scurrying over to the rollaway before he could retaliate.

"Sleep time." I said turning the lamps off. "Fang, wake me for second."

He glared at me before giving me a single nod. Once my head hit the pillow, I was out.

A crash woke we from my slumber and I instinctively looked over at the window where Fang had been sitting, except he was being held by three flyboys while more filed into the room. Not nearly enough though, we'd be able to take them.

I ran over to the window and pounced on one of the flyboys coming through the window. We landed outside in the darkness, no witnesses were out of their rooms. That's how I liked it, being discreet.

I kicked one of their knees then turned and kicked their weak spot Jeb had informed us about. For those of you that don't remember, it is the base of their spine. One good punch and their down for the count. Two more came at me, but I handled them easily before climbing into the room. My flock was almost completely done with the flyboys, Fang and Iggy the only ones still at work, probably because they usually took on more.

I went to help Iggy taking out one with a good kick while he got the other, Fang finished his last one right as I turned around.

"Report!" I called sitting on one of the beds.

"Ok." Gazzy.

"Me too." Iggy.

"Great." Nudge.

"Perfect." Angel

"Fang?" I questioned looking him over.

"Fine." He said with a penetrating gaze. "You?"

"Just scraped up." I assured looking myself over. My arms were pretty cut up and I think I had a cut on my cheek. I'm sure I would have bruised knees from landing on the sidewalk, my hands were scraped up. And I think a rock might be stuck in my right palm.

"I'll grab the bandages." Fang said walking over to his bag. And don't worry Total isn't in there anymore, Angel took him out before she took her shower. She wanted to give him a bath in the sink, but I told her no because I didn't want the bathroom smelling like wet dog. Total has been glaring at me ever since.

"I'll grab a wet towel." I announced walking into the bathroom and wetting down two of the medium sized towels and a washcloth.

"Angel, come here." I called taking a seat at the edge of the bed again. "Do you have any cuts?"

"There." She said pointing a pretty big one on her arm. It wasn't deep enough to draw much blood.

"Come with me." I ordered taking her hand and pulling her into the bathroom. I lifted her onto the surface by the sink and made her run the water on her cut to wash out the dirt. No one was going to get an infection on my watch.

"Does anyone else have cuts?" I asked poking my head out of the bathroom as Angel walked out only to be intercepted by Fang so he could bandage her up.

They all shook their heads except for Fang who was too busy with Angel.

I sighed and shut the door, looking into the mirror to see how much of me looked like a complete wreck. There was dots of blood on my clothes, but they weren't very noticeable. I inspected my scraped hands again and confirmed my previous assessment, there is a rock lodges in my right hand. Oh joy. That's sarcasm by the way, I'm not masochistic.

I took the soap and ran it under the water for a few seconds before rubbing it on my stinging palms. The cold water was bliss as it washed the soap and dirt mix from my cuts, but the rock stayed it.

"Are you ok?" Fang asked coming in.

"Don't you knock?" I scolded.

"Sometimes." He said ignoring my anger and turning my cut cheek toward him to he could inspect it closer. I pulled away to dry my hands on a towel, when I turned to leave the bathroom he had a wet towel in hand.

"What are you doing?" I asked as he dabbed at my cheek.

"I'm helping you clean yourself up." He said humorlessly. "Don't fight me on it, ok?"

"Ok." I muttered as he turned his attention to my arms, cleaning away all signs of blood.

"All done." He said taking a step back to inspect me.

"Not quite." I said holding up my hand. "There's a rock lodged in it."

"There's tweezers in the first aid kit." Fang said walking out of the bathroom. "I'll be right back."

I nodded as I watched him leave.
