Midnight Flight Ch. 3

On this one I had some writing block but I think it came out ok.

Please Review

Ch.3 What to Do now

I tried to jump out of the picnic table but that little action made me fall over the bench rather then get me into a ready to kick butt stance. Dylan and Iggy tried to get up too but that ended with Iggy on top of Dylan in a very interesting position (which by the way was almost like a certain movie with two cowboys and a mountain involved) but no time to laugh at that.

"Weird" Winry remarked. "the sedatives should have knocked you out. You shouldn't be able to move a finger, much less stand up. Her eyes went wide as she realized something. "Crap, when I cooked the burger I must have also cooked the sedatives in the meat weakening them. Ugh. No matter my mission is still the same."

During the little 'word that should not be seen's realization Dylan and Iggy had untangled themselves and surrounded Winry as I got up. Iggy attacked her from behind but she back flipped over him and hit him on his spine with her knuckles which left Iggy paralyzed on the ground. Winry then picked Iggy up by his feet then threw him at Dylan which knocked him over. As soon as Iggy was out of her hands Winry ran at me and roundhouse kicked me in the stomach.

I felt the surge of adrenaline enter my veins my thoughts started to clear up like a strong wind blowing the clouds out of the sun, I feel weird using that metaphor. The pain in my stomach was intense but something was off. With a kick that strong she could have easily killed me…she was hesitating. Winry headed over to Dylan, with Iggy paralyzed and the sedative he was basically a sitting duck, I had to do something but what.

"Who hired you!?" I yelled hopefully she'd take the bait, she didn't. Winry pulled a knife out from under her skirt, note to self weird place for a knife. I grabbed the closest thing I could and threw it at her; a black and white little animal went flying towards them. The skunk sprayed Winry, Dylan and Iggy.

"Ugh that is so gross." Winry shouted. Dylan pushed Iggy off of him and punched Winry, she went flying back. Ha-ha take that you jerk. My moment of happiness came to a quick stop as Winry did several back hand-springs and jumped onto a top of tree. Winry stood at the top of the tree looking down surveying the area, as Nudge, Angel, and Gazzy started to move. "It seems we'll have continue this another time Max" she said looking sad "It seems I misjudged your flock's strength since he left." At the mention of Fang my rage peaked I opened my wings and took flight towards her. "Sorry, that won't work on me." Winry then through one of those ninja throwy things at me and it stuck in my shoulder, I fell to the ground landing on my butt. "See ya." Winry opened up bat-like wings and took flight into the growing night (yes I know it rhymes).

The flight back was long and smelly (however it was nowhere near the stink of Gazzy).

We got back to my mom's house around two o'clock, needless to say she was a bit pissed. However her anger subsided as we told her of our narrow escape.

"It seems to me Max that you all were very lucky" well except for Iggy and Dylan who had to remain outside by the way. "Let's finish this conversation in the morning you all need to rest after today's events." With that we all went to sleep but the question of who are new enemy was lingered in all of our heads.

,',',',Winry,',',',

"I'm sorry Mr. Keynes please give me another chance the sedatives didn't work as well as hoped." I pleaded. I had no idea what Mr. Keynes tell me. All I knew was that I hated him, but I had no choice but to do as he said. If not… well… there just couldn't be an if not.

"Winry after looking at the circumstances and over viewing your past performance I have decided to give you another chance, after all not many have ever been able to take on the entire flock alone before. But I expect you to use the rest of your team in your future…" he paused looking for a word." Missions. Do not let me down again."

"Mommy!" Bane yelled loud.

"M-may I see him…please." I asked. My son holding out his arms to me for a hug nearly broke my heart as knew that going to him without Mr. Keynes permission would result in either mine or Bane's punishment.

"You may." He was throwing me a bone.

"Thank you so much!" I ran to Bane and picked him up in my arms, it took everything I had not to run out this evil place to freedom but Mr. Keynes wouldn't allow that we'd both be dead as soon as I tried to make a break for it. I'd worked with Mr. Keynes before, after his first mercenaries failed him my first was mission was to get rid of them.

"Mama, Papa?" Bane said.

"He's in the other room right now Bane." I knew he was going to ask. "Mr. Keynes would a family reunion be alright?" I asked.

"Quickly, Winry. You still failed me. Let them in." Mr. Keynes ordered. On the order Omega and the others walked in.

"Papa! Tios." And with the yell of my sweet little boy our family was whole, for the moment.
