Ok….so it's been forever since I updated this story…erm…sorry about that…But I hope you enjoy this story because I know it's gonna be better than my other two already.

RECAP:

I keep my voice from shaking. "Gazzy…what did you just do?"

"Nothing…" came that mischievous voice. "I just tested out my new power on them…"

"Cool… What is it?"

"Nothing much…Just paralysis hands!"

"Whoa! That's some sweet stuff! So how long they down for?"

"I'm not sure…"

I'm not worried though…well maybe I am, a bit. But there's something else. Gazzy isn't the only one with a new trick up his sleeve. I dreamed about all of this, this whole day. I dreamt it last night. Aw, great…the blind boy can see the future.

o.o

So Gazzy and I both have some esplainin' to do…We both need to tell the flock: "Hey! Guess what? We have new powers!" And naturally, there is going be cries of joy and we're all gonna throw a huge party. But the celebration would have to be put on hold. Max is storming out of the house pretty pissed.

The Erasers I had bombed flew away minutes ago. The ones Gazzy just paralyzed were still out for the count, but with what Gazzy was telling me, it appeared they could still move their eyes around and they looked pretty terrified. That doesn't sound too pretty.

Back to Max. She walked out in a mood. I swear, these mood swings she's been having lately make me want to run away and hide. But I won't because then I wouldn't be a successful brother. No, I help bring about these mood swings. And I'm assuming that this is one of the reasons she's out here right now.

"What the (insert swear word of your choice here) happened out here?!" she's shouting. "I leave you two alone for a second and you're already getting into trouble! Do you have any idea…"

Her words are lost on me. I am too busy paying attention to something else. For some reason, it doesn't matter to me what she is saying. I sense somebody coming…fast. I'm not exactly sure what's going on, but I think Max came up to me and started yelling in my face because I'm not paying attention. I push her down hard and tell her to shut up.

She is probably glaring daggers at me, but that won't work. I turn and start heading in the direction from where I was sensing these people coming from. "Gazzy," I say, "Come with me real quick. We need to check something out."

I could just imagine him looking back and forth between Max and me, trying to decide whether he should stick with the moody leader or go see what is freaking out his best friend ever (emphasis on see). Here's the argument going on between Max and me:

Me: "Max, if you let him come with me, you can yell at me later for as long as you want. And I'll pretend to see you while you glare daggers at me."

Max: "Why should I let him go with you? You two will just get in more trouble!"

Me: "Well if I don't go now, and bring Gazzy with me, we're going to be in even BIGGER trouble. And it won't only be the two of us. It'll be Fang, Angel, Nudge, and even you."

Max: "Well maybe if you would tell me I would let you go!"

Me: "Yeah, well, you won't know until it comes up behind you and kicks you in the butt!"

Gazzy: "…Iggy…"

Me: "What."

Gazzy: "How did you know it was gonna come up behind her and kick her in the butt?"

Me: "What are you talking about?"

But it turns out I don't even need to ask. I can hear it. Max is flying right up to my face and she crashes into me. I'm seeing stars right now. It's weird if I ever see anything. She pushes herself off of me and superspeeds up into the sky. I hear grunts as she starts kicking their butts and I hear Fang say, "Crap," really loud as he goes up to help her.

Angel is outside now too and she seems to be playing mind puppets out loud with some of the things up in the sky. "Hey, you big ugly things. You two are gonna bump into each other really hard now, ok? And you're also gonna fly away and take the rest of your friends with you."

So, while I'm on the ground, the things up in the sky are all flying away. I can't stop shaking. I can feel the blood going away from my face.

o.o

"IGGY! WAKE UP! THEY'RE GONE!" It sounds like Gazzy.

"Ow…would you shut up? I can hear you just fine!" That one's me.

"Yeah, well when you went spastic on us outside, we had to knock you out and bring you in here so Dr. Martinez could take a look at you." That's Fang. I don't think anybody else would be able to knock me out.

"…And?" Me again.

"She says that you're ok, except for the bump that Fang gave you when he knocked you out. You were just in shock is all." Angel.

"What I want to know, though, is what could possibly shock you. I mean, we've battled Erasers before and this was just a new version of them." Good old Max.

"Um…guys… I don't know if I feel ok telling you this right now. Can we talk about it tomorrow?" Me again.

"Whoa…" Angel…what did she just do?

"Angel…" (me) "are you reading my mind?"

"It was an accident! But Iggy, this is some good stuff!"

"Yeah, but isn't it my choice for when to tell them? Please don't make me…"

She is sighing. That means she's giving in. "Fine…but make sure I'm there tomorrow when you do tell them."

Me: "How can you not be there?"

I go back to the room I'm sharing with Gazzy, who's following me. He seems upset.

"Hey, Gasman. What's the matter, friend?"

"Why is it that Angel gets to know before everybody else, including me? I'm your best friend!"

"Yeah…So I think I might as well just tell you now too. That way, I'll have some less yelling at me tomorrow."

"What is it?"

"Well, the thing is…Don't laugh or I'll whip your butt to next Wednesday…I can see the future."

I hear a thud as Gazzy hits the ground in a mock faint.

"Dude, get up." He's not listening. So what else is new? "I'm serious, Gazzy." I hear him get up onto his bed.

"How long have you known that you could do this?"

"I've had a feeling since that night Max told us about living with Dr. Martinez."

"THAT LONG?"

"Um…Yeah. I guess I should have told you earlier, but…"

"But WHAT? I thought best friends didn't keep secrets from each other! You should have told me, Ig."

He is storming out the door in one of the worst moods I've seen him in. I hear the door slam as he walks to the back. I hear his wings start flapping as he starts to fly around. I know he's gonna be back though. He'll be back in about an hour. I tuck myself in and go to sleep.

Ok, so this is probably not the best chapter in the world…But it's the best I could come up with. I hope you guys are liking this so far. Please review!!!
