Two years ago, we left. Me, Gasman, and Iggy. Gone. Ari had to come in and ruin our family. Whether he was changed or not, he still ruined our family. I wasn't going to just let the person who had tried to kill all of us, especially me. I had no clue if he was dead yet, but I didn't care. He was a killer. He deserved to die. (Remember, Fang doesn't know that Ari was Max's brother) Besides, I didn't need Max. I had tried to show her how I felt, but she had just run away. I had given up after that. She didn't want me, that was for sure. And now, I didn't want her. I was over her. Done. I had new friends and family now. I had made up my mind long ago. I wasn't headed back to her, and I don't think she was either. We were just going to have to live apart.

"Hey, man, we going' soon? Cuz, you know, I'm meeting my girlfriend and, uh, I wouldn't want to spend any less time with her, if you know what I mean." Iggy hasn't changed much, as you can see. Still perverted. We had moved to Oregon after the Flock split, and we had stayed on the West coast and just wandered around for about a year. Then, we started moving east. And we had just kept on moving East, city to city, until we found a place we really liked. Colorado. There was a small town near the Rocky Mountains that we liked. Greenwood Village. It was about 3 miles away from Colorado Springs, where we went to get most of our food and go into town for shopping and movies and all that wonderful stuff.

Iggy's girlfriend, Michelle, was just a brunette bimbo who thought Ig was hot, so she went out with him for… intimate reasons. Not that I knew they did that, it was just kind of obvious with the way she acted around him. I had never really liked her, but I did think she was hot. But, of course, what guy can't say that most girls they see are hot? It's just a guys' brain, programmed to like what they see.

"Where's Gaz and Miranda? They're coming too, right?" Miranda was another mutant, with wings, like us, and she was Gasman's age. They obviously liked each other, but they were the only ones who couldn't see it. Miranda had long brown hair and light brown eyes. She was short, and not quite as tall as Gazzy, who was about 5'7" now. They were both 14.

"Yeah, I think they were going to meet some friends and watch a movie too. I have no idea what though. I just wanna go see a movie with my girl, okay Fang? Can we go soon?" Iggy's impatient voice was extremely irritating.

"Whatever, man." I shrugged it off, and he was about to say something when I yelled upstairs to the other two. "Gaz, Miranda, are you guys coming to the movies with us? We're leaving in 3 minutes!"

We had found a house in our little town that was 2 stories tall, with a basement, and it was abandoned. Not condemned, but abandoned. It apparently had gone into foreclosure, and the owners moved out and nobody else had moved back in. It was about a block from the little grocery store, and that was very convenient since we didn't have to whip out our wings every time we needed milk. We all had our own rooms, but we had to share two bathrooms. Not that us guys needed it as much as Miranda did. We went to school like normal kids, and we had friends and homework and everything else that a normal kid has. Except for parents, and normal kids didn't have wings grafted into their backs. But it was close enough.

"Hey, Ig, what movies are playing?" I asked the red-head, who was off daydreaming about his girlfriend, most likely.

"Uh, I think the Proposal, Monsters VS. Aliens, X-Men, and uh… I don't know. Some stupid chick flick that nobody cares about." He shrugged it off and went back to daydreaming. Whatever, maybe I'll go see X-Men while the others go their own ways. I thought.

"Gaz! Miranda! Let's hit it!" I yelled upstairs. I heard four feet stamping down the stairs, and we headed out back. We had no neighbors, so we jumped into the air and unfurled our wings. The only thing that had changed about our wings was that they were bigger. Mine were now 15 feet long, Iggy's were the same, Gazzy's were 13 feet, and Miranda had 12-foot wings. After about 5 minutes of flying, we saw the movie theatre in the distance. "Okay, guys, start descending! Land behind the back and we'll get our tickets!" The roaring of the wind was so loud I had to yell to be heard. We landed and put on our windbreakers.

We walked around front, acting innocent like we had just come off from the sidewalk and taken a shortcut. We walked up to the line for the tickets, and then I heard Michelle's squeaky voice calling Iggy. I pretended I didn't hear, and then nodded at her as hello. She was too busy making out with Iggy to see though. I paid for the tickets, Gazzy and Miranda running off to find their friends and watch their movie, while Iggy and Michelle went around a corner in the theatre to "wait" for their movie. I got a bag of popcorn and sat down on a bench, waiting for the right time to head into my movie.

After about 10 minutes of just sitting there, I started to get a weird feeling in my stomach. At first, I thought it was the popcorn. But then I realized what it was: it was my gut telling me that something big was going to happen. I didn't care, it was probably out of whack from not being really used for so long.

I went into my movie and watched it, munching my popcorn all through the movie. After the movie was over, I headed out to wait for the others. I sat down on the same bench as earlier, and finished the last few bits of my popcorn. I had gotten a large, okay? I was hungry. I stood to throw it away, and the trashcan was near the bathroom. Then my gut went crazy. I looked over at the entrance, then to the bathroom, and thought I recognized someone. Then they turned around, and their eyes got huge and their mouth hung open. Then I realized who it was. Someone I thought I hadn't needed, but now realized I did.

Maximum Ride.
