Thanks for turning in for another rewrite. This would then make this by far the longest chapter that I have rewritten. I really should have wrote more the first time to help clear some stuff up the first time. I hardly explored the full potential of this chapter, and the whole story in general. I am deeply sorry for the inconvenience.

Drakefire

(TPOV)

As soon as that sentence left my lips the flock tensed up. It seems like when they have people tell them that it never ended well. Tora had finally managed to support herself on her own, but I still had my eye on her. Hopefully this is one of the cases that things didn't go badly. As far as he was concerned Tora was going to need a trip to the doctor, forced or otherwise.

"Look we mean you no harm. But there is a storm coming and you're going to need our help." I stated bluntly. I made sure there was no falsehood in my voice as I spoke. I wasn't lying, but they seemed paranoid to the extreme. At least I think. We escaped from Itex before the flock was even fully formed and had been hiding ever sense.

Max raised her eyebrow. "What type of storm?" she questioned. She was being cautious. I don't blame her ether. If some group of random strangers went up to you and said that you would need their help, would you trust them? Of course not. Who would?

"I know for a fact you destroyed Itex. Some of your current problems are tied in to some mutants who are loyal to their cause. They have for the most part, been hiding their hand. Their dangerous, even more so than at hundred erasers on their own, and that's with only one of them. This group is made up of five, unlike us." I say as a jester to remainder of the Flight. The quite one in black finally spook up.

"I highly doubt anyone could take more than at least ten erasers on their own." He stated. Some of the others nodded their assent.

Silver was about to retort something right back, but I held a simple signal, causing her to back down.

"Oreal, if you will," I stated and Oreal tossed a small tablet that we had 'acquired' a few days ago. I looked through some of the files that Oreal had managed to hack off of Itex, mostly related to me and Tora's training. I put it on the ground and then pressed play. Despite the small screen it showed what obviously a large group of erasers on one side of the room with a lone boy on the other. The white coats lower the gate and the erasers surged forward, only to be ripped apart by me at age ten. For a normal human it would look like has if the erasers had been hacked to ribbons before they could react. We decided that we should slow the video down if we were going to show it to others. The original was about minute long. This version was about twice that. But it got the point across.

"Was that you in the video?" Max questioned. She was seemed that she was about to run off. More or less a fight or flight response, and in this case it would be quite literal flight.

"Yeah, back eight years ago, about a month before our breakout." Silver piped up. I just about smacked myself on the head, but I was very determined to at least look somewhat civil.

"Why did you breakout?" a small voice asked from behind Max. I took a guess and thought it would most likely be Angel. We only knew about the Flocks names and Max's mission. I don't mean to brag, but Oreal has awesome hacking skills. She took Itex's fire wall down in about eight minutes. And I mean the whole dang thing, not like the stuff they surrounded their unimportant files in, but the whole main firewall.

Well besides the normal reasons that anyone would want to break out of the pit, I heard that the whitecoats where going to try to turn us into weapons. They tried to brain wash us before I decided that we need to escape. They never stood a chance. We escaped and have been in hiding ever sense." I said with a slight grin.

"But don't most whitecoats try to put tracking devices in or on you. If you were meant to be weapons won't they try to prevent you guys form running off." Max states almost off handedly. I could tell that she meant no harm with the remark, but it seemed to set Silver off. She seemed like she was about to try and run Max through. Silver has a lot of pride, but she says its honor. I don't think anyone in the Flight believes it, or that she is simple misguiding herself, but it gets really annoying. She also is unnaturally aggressive, even for us. She had the most physical strength of the group and even in her "human form". It also didn't help that her dragon type is all about fighting. Claws, teeth, tail, and her breath weapon, which was hard to deal with on its own. Her breath weapon made anything it touched super brittle and when you put that together with razor sharp claws, teeth, and a tail that could turn a normal human into putty, you get a walking death machine. And let's not forget her anger management problem. Putting that all together add teenage hormones then stir, you get Silver.

"Basically put, mine melted from my internal body heat, Tora's shorted out, and Silver froze the one they put in's wires," I said. It was getting more and more likely that they have never heard of us. I mean Max was like what only around six when we had made a break for it. Plus she also had a lot on her plate, even at that age. And from the records that we had hacked from Itex they were placed at the opposite sides of the lab from us. Then again Silver has taken a liking to chicken, so I see how that might have been justified.

"Fine, we except," Max said, and I was sure the Flock was going to start complaining. "But you go by our rules, got that."

"Fine by me," I said with a shrug. Silver was probably complain about it later. She had problems taking orders from me, so I have no idea what might happen if she started bossing Silver around.

"Then let's move out," Max said. "Wait you guys can fly right?' she questions. Silver suddenly flew past her, and then stuck out her tongue.

"Try to keep up," she taunted, before shooting off at top speed.

Max grinned. "You're on." She said as she took off afterwards. Then she leapt forward at great speed. Her wings where like that of a hummingbirds, moving super-fast and in total sink. Max would most likely catch up to her with ease.

"Permission to blow them away, most likely literally?" Cooper asked.

"Just don't break the sound barrier this time, got it." I said. He was almost a speed junky, but he could also hit around Mach 2. He gives me thumbs up then takes off. The Flight quickly clamped down on their ears.

"You guys may want to plug your ears," I say. They quickly do so and then boom, Cooper was off.

"What do you mean don't break the sound barrier?" asked one of the members of the flock. I think he was Iggy but I'm not sure.

"Cooper can hit around Mach 2 without breaking a sweat," Oreal finally piped up. She started counting stuff on her fingers for some reason. She suddenly stops and grins. "That's really really fast." She took off on her red colored wings before flying off in the direction that the other three went. The rest of us follow, but we at least try to match the pace of the flock which was hard to do and actually nearly caused most of us to fall out the air. Not because they were too fast it was because we were too fast. We could move had higher wings than the flock, which gives us greater speed. But with that greater speed meant to we had to at least move around 70 mph. And that seemed to be about the max speed for the Flock. Which meant Tora, Jake, and I had to make an effort not to fall out of the air. In other words the flock was in a hustle while we could barely keep ourselves airborne. Not fun let me tell you that. By the time we finally got there Cooper was being chased by both Silver and Max while Cooper was shouting something at the top of his lungs about having bragging rights while Oreal just watched from the sidelines.

Tora flew closer to me. "We should get down there before someone gets killed." She said as she flew bye. I had to agree with that. Most likely the one being dead would be Max or Cooper, maybe both. Knowing Silver, most likely both. I give a hand signal and the Flight dives in, shortly followed by the Flock. Silver and Cooper both noticed our arrival and started pointing fingers and one another.

"Look if you're going to start pointing fingers about who did what or broke what order I gave I don't want to hear about. I gave Cooper permission to outrun you because Silver you're showing off again and two you knew that Cooper was faster anyway." Silver was about to open her mouth to start complaining again.

"No if ands or buts about it." I said in an annoyed tone. I also noticed the slightly smug look on Coopers face.

"And you don't get bragging rights to begin with Cooper. You know you're the fastest of our group, but there is no need to rub it in to others faces," I stated again. He knew that by this point but every once and awhile he would let it get a head of him. It was almost nightfall to. There really wasn't much to do. Max filled us in on what they were doing here and what we could do to help. We had to expand the tent the Flock was staying in so that we could all fit. Still even after today the younger members may have complained about going to bed they were out like lights. Most of the others had drifted off to sleep and I was about to join them as well, but I heard a movement inside the tent. Tora was getting up and out of the tent for some reason. She took off and after around ten minutes I followed her. This might be my chance to figure out what's wrong with Tora. She was being so stubborn about the topic something had to be up. I found the area where she had landed. She was crying, but about what. I noticed a small box on the ground and picked it up. It read in big large letters Pregnancy Test. I almost smacked myself. It was so obvious. This whole time the answer to my question was staring me right in the face. I crept closer toward Tora hoping to notice the results, at least at a distance. I already knew the answer to the question that she was going ask if and when she told me. I would stay with her no matter what. I loved Tora with all my heart so there was no way I was going to make her leave, or leave her. I could see the test and I was practically looking over her shoulder. The test read positive. I turned her around before giving her a hug.

I hope you enjoyed reading this story and I didn't waste any of your time. If you enjoyed or have anything to make me into a better writer don't hesitate to tell me.
