Love, TheModernChromatic

I grab Angel's arm instinctively and push myself in front of her.

"Fang...Iggy...!" I begin, glancing at them desperately.

Relax.

The word comes out of nowhere. I look around trying to figure it out briefly.

Voice? Is that you?

If it's possible to have the voice in your head laugh at you, I succeeded.

No, Maximum, I am not the voice in your head. Look right in front of you. It is I, the swift assasin sent for your flock.

What do you want? I scream at her in my head.

Relax. I'm not going to kill you. I am an experiment, just like you. A total accident. They created me and enhanced your skills tenfold for the purpose of your termination. However, they could not control me. Once I realized what I was to do, I broke their hold of me and escaped. Your DNA is coded into my own so that I may have your abilities and be able to track you. We are one, Maximum.

How can I trust you? How do I know you aren't lying to me?

Because we are sisters. I have the same genetic makeup as you and your DNA. I had to escape from the School just like you did. Watch.

Her voice stops in my head, and immediately, I am in a room in the School, surrounded by doctors and scientists. I survey the room involuntarily and slowly move my hand to the back of my wrist, where blood is being drawn from. I pull the needle from its place and plunge it into the neck of the doctor holding the tubes of my blood, watching more of the precious liquid pour from my vein. Another doctor panics and opens a panel on the wall. He hits a button and I fall to the floor. My wings pull inside of my back and I curl into a fetal position. The world goes black for a moment, fast enough for me to have blinked, and I'm back on my feet.

My wings extend to their fullest, larger than they've ever been before, and I grab the needle that I dropped. I strike the other doctor in the jugluar as well and break out of the room, the thin hospital gown I'm wearing ripping as I tear past machines. Flyboys come out of nowhere and attempt to stun me, to recapture me, but I hit them back tenfold and keep going.

Suddenly, I am out, the sun bearing down on me. I spread my wings and pump them, as hard as I possibly can. Crash course on flying, methinks, as a swarm of flyboys hunt me down, close behind. The chase had begun.

The vision ends as abruptly as it starts.

Now you see that I am no different from you. We are one in the same, Maximum. I know you, and I know your flock better than you do. Her tone changes slightly. Hello everyone, comes the cool, feminine voice. Immediately, Iggy and Fang stiffen, anticipating a fight, I mean you no harm. I was actually just showing Maximum how I too had to escape the School. On top of that, I've been flying for miles and miles just to try and get them off my tail. My chase led me to you. I am genetically programmed to find you all, you see, for it was my task to terminate you. I've broken free from the control of the one in charge, however, so you need not worry. It's very nice to meet you all. Maximum, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman, Angel, and Total. She looks at each of us and nods as our names are broadcasted into our heads. Let us land now. I shall prove to you that I mean no harm. She drops from the sky rather quickly and lands easily on the ground. She looks back up and holds out her hands invitingly.

"Max..." Fang says wearily, "Can we trust her?"

"I don't know, Fang," I say, looking down at the little creature with great black wings, "But considering she just saved our lives by slaying hordes of flyboys, I say it's in our best interest to do so." I slowly float down and land. I eye her and begin to walk forward, hoping for the best.
