DNAvians: Chapter 3: Anything Is Possible

Fang watched Max as she searched around for a first aid kit. He was still a little dizzy from the blood lost and lack of food, but his wounds had started to heal. Go mutant blood!

"Aha! Found you, ya little sucker," Max said proudly as she pulled out a kit from Jeb's drawer. They were currently in Jeb's tiny office by the lab.

"Okay Fang, take off your shirt," Max said bluntly, holding a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol.

Fang grinned, "Aren't you embarrassed to see my amazing muscles out in the open?" Max rolled her eyes and pulled off Fang's shirt herself, "Sorry, but your 'amazing muscles seem to have disappeared, Fangy."

Fang frowned, "Are you gonna let that go any time soon?" Max didn't answer but she grinned. She gently cleaned Fang's deep gashes, glancing up at him every so often to make sure he wasn't in too much pain.

"Ow," Fang said lamely. "Once you get whipped with electric wiring, nothing else seems to hurt."

"Tell me about it!" Max lifted the back of her shirt a bit.

Like a pattern, long white scars ran across Max's back. Scar after scar was repeated and crossed with another. The start of her brown wings was also scarred a little.

Fang reached out to touch one particularly long scar, but decided against it. Why did the white coats need them to be so perfect all the time? They were just little kids.

Max wrapped up Fang's back with thick, white bandages. She carefully arranged them around Fang's wings, and then vigilantly patched up his wings too.

"Thank you, Nurse Max," Fang said patting her on the head and smiling. Max glared, ignoring way her heart sped up a little at his smile, "No problem, Fangy dear." But nothing could wipe off Fang's grin.

"Let's go find you a shirt. Maybe Jeb has some in that dresser over there." They opened the small dresser that Jeb kept in his office, but instead of clothes, they found documents.

"Hey Max, this one is about you I think," Fang said pointing to a piece of paper with Max's name on it.

CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENT:

MAXIMUM RIDE

EXPERIMENT: AVIAN-HUMAN

STATUS: SUCCESS

ALTERATIONS: INJECTED WITH SEVERAL DNA SAMPLES FROM VARIOUS LESSER AVIAN-HUMAN HYBRIDS. ONLY BEST QUALITIES WERE TRANSFERRED, ALONG WITH SOME PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS (SIDE EFFECT).

DNA TAKEN FROM:

EXPERIMENT #2 "FANG" – WING STRENGTH COPIED AND TRANSFERRED; Max takes on dark spots on wings which coordinate with the color of "Fang's" wings.

EXPERIMENT #3 "IGGY" – SUPERIOR VISION EXTRACTED which in turn caused "Iggy's" vision to be impaired (this will problem will be attempted to fix at a later date, possibly when Experiment #3 turns six years old. Max takes on blond streaks in hair, identical to "Iggy's" hair color and can now see a bit farther than other hybrids.

EXPERIMENT #4 "NUDGE" – COMPUTING ABILITIES COPIED AND TRANSFERRED. Ability FAILED to be transferred but injection of DNA still caused Maximum to take on a brown tint in eye color.

FUTURE DNA TRANSFER ATTEMPTS INCLUDE SUBJECTS:

Experiment #5 still not named, Avian-Human hybrid, blond with blue eyes, seems to produce an unpleasing odor, usefulness to be determined…

Experiment #6 parents of Experiment #5 plan to have another child in about two years. Genetic modification will take place at birth (Avian-Human)

"Max? Fang? What are you to doing?" a voice called into the small office. Fang and Max turn with a jump, "Jeb!"

Jeb eyes were wide as he rushed over, "You two shouldn't be looking at this stuff!" He took the papers from them muttering under his breath, "Thank god they don't know how to read all of it."

Max pulled at Jeb's shirt, "What does it say Jeb? Why does it have me and Fang's names on it?"

Jeb sighed, "It's nothing Max, don't worry about it!" But Fang could tell he was hiding something by the way Jeb couldn't look at Max in the eyes.

Jeb smiled, "You two should go eat now." Max looked at Fang and laughed, "But Fang still needs a shirt!"

Jeb laughed to, "Oh, let's go find one then." Fang stopped Jeb, "It's alright. I'll go borrow one from Iggy."

"If you're gonna walk all the way to Iggy, why not just get your own shirt?" Max asked curiously.

"All my shirts are ripped up from all my trips to the Re-setting Station. The one I was wearing was my last one," Fang shrugged.

"Oh," Max said. She hadn't realized that Fang had been beaten so many times. She had been there a lot for mouthing off to grown-ups, but Jeb usually intervened in time so that her punishment wasn't as harsh. She wanted to hug Fang, but instead, just grabbed his hand, "Let's go eat."

As the two walked off hand in hand, Jeb smiled at them from behind, "Maybe they'll be okay. Maybe Max can be free."

"Fang!" Iggy yelled, "Back from the slammer?" Fang grinned, "Yup, Max saved me."

"Oh, speaking of your girlfriend. She and I had a nice long chat while you were at Re-setting. She kept asking where you were! She wanted to hug you and kiss you and…" Iggy stopped when he received a glare from Max, whom was standing right behind Fang, "Oh, hi Fang's girlfriend!"

"Iggy!" Both Max and Fang yelled at the same time. Iggy smiled, blue eyes sparkling, "But really, I haven't seen Fang this un-gloomy since that time he came back from escaping."

Max looked at Fang, "You've been outside?" Fang nodded, "Kids outside don't have wings, so they can't fly, but they seem real happy."

Max glanced out the tightly sealed window and the titanium walls of the small room they were in, "It's really possible to get of here?"

Iggy laughed, "Anything is possible. You just have to find out how." Fang smiled slightly, "Yeah, like I didn't think it was possible for someone to crash into a wall, but Iggy proved me wrong."

Iggy punched Fang in the shoulder jokingly. Fang looked at Max who stood a little away from them. She was smiling but she looked uncomfortable. Fang took Max's hand and made a silent promise to himself. Max will always belong, as long as I'm here.

"Hey, you guys are mean! We know each other and you didn't even invite me to eat with you guys! I'm disappointed! I mean we're practically a family! We all have wings and stuff. Oh wait; maybe we're more like a club because technically if Max and Fang are family it would be all weird if they dated. But Max could be my sister! My big sister who has wings but I have wings too so it's okay. And that makes us even more family! Iggy can be my brother, or uncle but Iggy is kind of a weird name. Can I call you Isaac instead? That is such a cool name with the double letter but I guess Iggy has double letters too. Huh, I wish I had double letters in my name! Like Nuddge or something like that. But Nudge with out the double letter it really cool too. It sounds like fudge which is totally tasty. So how are you guys?" Nudge asked smiling, brown eyes wide and sparkling.

Fang and Iggy stared.

Max laughed, "I actually understood that!" Nudge smile grew, "That's totally cool! For some reason no one ever answers me and I wonder why because I actually slow down when I speak to some people and they still look at me with that look Fang and Iggy are giving me right now. It's like they zone out or something and they don't even--"

"Avian-humans," said a white coat walking into the room, "I have someone to introduce to you! It's our newest avian-human hybrid, Experiment Number 5!"

In his arms he held a little baby boy wrapped in a blue blanket. Plump and smiley, his blue eyes looked around the room searching. His thin layer of blond hair was messy and adorned with a cowlick. He seemed to stare at Iggy as he stretched his arms out but the baby pulled his arms back as a bashful smile crossed his face.

"Ewwww!" Nudge yelled. "Holy cow, that baby just let one rip," Iggy said holding his nose.

The white coat looked shocked, "Uhh, good luck with Experiment Number 5!" He laid the baby carefully down on the table in the room and ran out.

The four hybrids walked closer cautiously holding their breath. Fang attempted to breathe first, "Oh god, how can something so small, smell so bad?"

Iggy coughed, "How can something so small, hold that much gas?"

The baby blinked his blue eyes innocently and smiled a toothless smile, "Gas, gas!"

Okay, I hope everyone enjoyed that and I hope it made you smile a little. Still more chapters to come! Please keep reading!
