Ps. It is short because of the writers block it was starting to be stupid so i ended it shortish.
Chapter 4
Fang's POV
It was dark before I ran into Max. Well it was more like I flew into her, but that's beside the point.
"What did you find out?" I asked after we were headed toward the skyscraper we found.
"I'll tell you when we land." She said as if she were still processing the info for herself.
When we got to the skyscraper, Max looked at me and said, "the Empire State Building? What were you thinking?"
"That we could always find our way back together," I simply replied.
"But so can that bug! What is the first building he's going to look in?"
"Itex?" nudge offered.
"No! the second one!" She screamed. I could hear Gazzy chuckling off to the right.
"Here, but hopefully we'll be gone by then," Honestly, I had no idea why she was making such a big deal about it.
"You are so… so… oh forget it!" she stormed off to the other side of the Empire State Building.
Angel stepped up to me and looked into my eyes with her own and said, "Don't worry Fang, she still loves you."
"Hmm," I dismissed the subject. "We should get some sleep. Don't fall off the building."
I sat propped up against the one of the faces of the building, listening to the traffic below. The streetlamps were just tiny grounded stars. I wonder where that spider-man hybrid is hiding now.
I looked up and saw Max leaning against the massive radio antenna. She seemed upset. I flew up and stood behind her. She had to be the first to speak.
"Fang, I don't know if we can do this anymore. We thought it was over the last time we attacked Itex. The kids are tired; we need to settle down for a while." She was rubbing her arms in the frigid air. I stepped up and wrapped my arms around her. Like every time, she took in a quick surprised breath, and I got the same amazing feeling as the first time I kissed her.
"Thanks," she said and looked up at me with those beautiful eyes.
"The kids are still strong. They're growing up, Gazzy will be ten soon, they can fight better than ever," I tried to reassure her. "Max, they need you to be strong too," I lifter her chin up so I could look into her eyes again. "I need you to be strong."
"Fang, can you honestly expect them to be happy when everywhere we go people are looking for us?"
"They look happy."
Max rubbed her eyes, "Just because they act like they're happy, doesn't mean that they really are."
"They're happy because we are together. That's all that matters."
"Maybe," she turned away.
"You're still cute when you're frowning." I said, trying to cheer her up.
"Fang, you don't get it do you?" she turned her back to me. "this world is never going to stop needing our help! And every time they do need our help it's something new. They crossed a spider into a human!"
"oh, so he is working with Itex?"
She flashed a glare my way and I figured I wasn't helping. "I'm sorry, but we can't stop now. Can we wait until one more explosion? That is what we came here for, am I right? Besides, we can't keep Iggy and Gazzy out of trouble unless they blow up a building every once in a while."
She smiled briefly. "I guess one more." She said, stretching out her wings and dove backwards off of the Empire State Building.
