I'm back with Chapter 2 of Two Strangers! Also, this part sees some OCs that were previously going to feature in my un-started book "The Horus Chronicles".
Maximum Ride: Two Strangers
Chapter 02: Okay, Now I'm confused
(Max's POV)
As I opened my eyes, I found that this had not been a dream. I was still in the weird Blue Box. The Man was talking to the woman, saying something gibberish about something called 'Rixel 4'.
"Oh, you're awake!" the man turned to look directly at me. "Welcome aboard, Max!"
"How do you know my name?" I asked. "Who are you, and where am I?"
"Oh, I'm the Doctor and this is Martha," The Doctor said merrily. "We're on The TARDIS."
"What's a TARDIS?" I asked, still confused.
"Time and Relative Dimension in Space," the one called Martha said kindly. "Don't worry; it's confusing at the start."
"How do you know my name, anyway?" I asked, climbing up from the sofa.
The Doctor turned towards a computer, on the console. "Fang's Blog. I thought it must be you. So tell me, is it true that you would have killed Iggy and the Gasman?"
"No..." I looked at the blog. "I would never... Fang's lying."
"Of course," The Doctor smiled.
"Are you being Sarcastic?" I queried.
"No, I am not being Sarcastic," The Doctor replied. "But what I don't understand is how you got into the TARDIS. I mean, no normal person can walk into the TARDIS just by opening the doors."
"I thought it would be a place to hide," I replied. "Can this thing fly?" I asked, still looking at Fang's blog.
"Well, It can travel through space and time," The Doctor smiled.
"You love showing off," Martha nudged him.
"I do not love showing off," The Doctor protested.
I thought for a moment, and then decided. "Is there any possible way that we can track Fang's movement through that computer?"
The Doctor pondered for a few seconds. "Why, Maximum Ride... Of course we can! Allons-y! We've got some mutant bird kid hunting to do!"
I never thought I'd be doing this, for some reason. You know, the whole trusting your life to a stranger that you've just met who says he can travel through space and time. I get the feeling that you don't do that often, do you?
"If we program that, to there," The Doctor began, talking so fast it was almost confusing. "We'll get... Whoa! Hold on tight. Looks like we're in for a bumpy ride!"
I was about to ask what he meant, when I was thrown across the TARDIS floor, hitting my head on the centre console. I barely had time to mutter the word, 'ow' before I was thrown back into the sofa. The Doctor was laughing, clinging on to a side pillar, as was Martha.
Suddenly, the TARDIS stopped. "Allons-y!" The Doctor, who was already at the door, opened it. I was only seconds behind, followed by Martha.
"Here we are," The Doctor shut the door, and turned to see a small house, overlooking a road. "Fang and co. should be just in here."
Will the Doctor have his calculations right? Will this be Fang and The Flock, or somebody else? Somebody else from Max's past?
