There was a blood curdling scream. Oliver jolted awake and started running for the door to the hallway.

"Not the best way to be woken up at 2am," he thought. He forced the door open and saw Nudge fighting this wolf-like creature. Oliver had never seen anything even remotely similar to this gruesome "animal". Oliver was frozen as he watched this amazing little girl destroy this grotesque thing. A spin-kick to Nudge's head caused blood to splatter all over the wall. Nudge looked back at the creature with a river of blood streaking across her face. She punched it in the stomach and kneed it in the face with enough force to break some bone, and the animal's face caved in. It fell backwards with a thud. Oliver saw this creature was a life-less pile of bone and blood.

"I'm sorry about the wall. Maybe I can help redecorate the entire apartment?" Nudge asked with an exited look in her eyes.

"Um… we'll talk about it later. First we ne-" Oliver was cutoff when he heard a crash in the living room. He and Nudge started running to the noise.

"You promise?" Nudge asked.

"Only you can focus on décor while in the middle of a fight," Max yelled at her while breaking the neck of another animal. There was a sickening crunch and snap. Then the creature fell to the ground motionless.

Across the room, Gazzy was cornered by 2 of the animals. Oliver had already retrieved his bow and arrow and fired a shot at 1 of the animals. It went down and the other turned just in time to get an arrow straight through the eye.

"Is that all of them?" Nudge asked Max. Ollie and Max did a quick inspection of the apartment.

"All clear," Max yelled.

"What were those things?" Ollie asked Max.

"Erasers," she said with a sigh. "Baldy knows we're here. We have to get the rest of the Flock from the farm and find somewhere else to stay."

---------------------------------------------

"Why can't I read your mind?" Angel asked Clark. "I mean, I can read everybody else's, just not yours. How come?"

"Well, I'm not exactly human. I come from a different planet," Clark answered her in a hushed tone. Everyone else was asleep and when Clark got up to do his chores, Angel asked if she could help.

"We've never done chores before. They just run tests on us and we're put back in our cages," Angel said flying up over the fence to feed the cows.

Clark was angered that Lex could even think of something like this. They were kids for Christ's sake. They had never deserved to be tested on and it sickened him to even think about what they did to those kids. And who knows how many more experiments Lex had. That was the main reason that Clark never told anyone about his powers, because people like Lex would put him under a microscope. He knew that he had to help stop Lex until everyone was freed.

Clark heard a faint buzzing sound and looked up to see little black dots flying towards the farm. But as each second past, the sound got louder and the dots got bigger until Clark could see that there were 6 ugly dog-like creatures.

"FANG, IGGY WE'VE GOT COMPANY!!! BALDY SENT ERASERS!" Angel yelled at the house. 5 seconds later Fang, Iggy, Cyborg, Impulse, and Aqua Man were all outside. The Erasers were a good 500 yards away when Fang, Iggy, and Angel started flying towards them full speed. It only took 3 seconds for the collision and only 25 seconds for the 3 of them to kill the 6 Erasers. The JL were looking at the kids with amazement and when Angel collapsed to the ground they ran over to her. Fang and Iggy were leaning over her and seeing if she was alright but she was unconscious. Clark picked her up and ran her back to the house with Bart right behind him. He laid her on the couch and then went to call Ollie.

--------------------------------------

"What?" Max asked into the phone. After a few seconds, she got a stony look on her face and her lip started trembling.

"We'll be right there," She said in a voice only described as between determined and broken.

"What's wrong?" Gazzy asked her.

"Erasers were at the farm and we have to go there right now," She said.

"You didn't answer the question. What's wrong?" Nudge asked Max.

"Angel." The room went quiet and Gazzy started talking.

"We have to go NOW!" He yelled.

"Oliver, how do we get to the farm?" Nudge asked Ollie.

"We'll just take a car," He said. They all looked at him like he was crazy. "Okay, I'll take a car. It's in Smallville just 30 miles south of here," he said (I don't actually know).

"See ya," Max said.

The 3 kids walked over to the balcony and opened the sliding glass door. Gazzy jumped on the railing first, and opened his wings to full expansion. Then in one fluid motion he glided off the railing and was soaring through the air. Oliver was just staring at him. He had seen the wings on the kids but didn't really understand that they could fly. Seeing this boy flying so effortlessly in the air was something that Oliver would never forget.

"Pretty cool, huh?" Nudge asked with a small smile. Ollie just nodded his head because no words could describe how incredibly unbelievable it was.

Nudge jumped up and spread her wings. She looked back at Oliver and smirked as if to say "you think that was cool, watch this" and she jumped and went into a head dive while spinning. Oliver ran over to the edge of the railing and looked down to see that she had just swooped up and was coming back up to see him.

"Show-off," Max said to her while smirking a little.

"Yeah, I know," Nudge said.

Max was the last to go and she didn't do any flashy show stuff, but like Gazzy she spread her wings and just let the wind pick her up and she drifted with the wind to the farm.

"I don't think I can get used to that," Ollie thought.

--------------------------------------

"Hello? Max? Fang? Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy? Anybody?" Angel called helplessly. All that she could remember was that she was talking to Clark, then some Erasers came, and now she was in the middle of a corn field.

"Hello Angel," a voice said from behind her. She turned around and saw a woman with a white coat on. She instantly thought that this woman worked for Lex and was about to fly away.

"Please don't run. I promise that I won't harm you," she said.

"Why should I trust you? I've spent my entire life being caged by people like you, doctors," Angel spat venomously.

"I'm not a doctor," the woman laughed. "Well, I'm an animal doctor, my name is Dr. Martinez and I can help you."

---------------------------------------

"Did they get the serum into the girl?" Lex asked his head scientists.

"Yes sir, but they all were destroyed," the man said back.

"I hope so. If those kids couldn't beat a couple of Erasers, then they wouldn't be very useful to me," Lex said turning around.

"Sir, what are you going to use them for?"

Lex looked back at him and said with a smirk, "I want what every man wants. Power. And with those kids as my puppets, I will get my power."
