A.N. Hi all. I know it's been a while, but have faith in me. I know this chapter's short, but I wanted to get it in before my birthday, so I may have rushed it.

This takes place in The Final Warning on the plane to Argentina.
Needless to say, the flight to Argentina was boring. So, we were bored. To alleviate the boredom, we decided to play around with the new powers some of us had obtained.
Rather, the Flock decided to mess around while I supervised to make sure that they didn't inadvertently crash the plane. They had split into groups and were testing the limits of what they could do.
Gazzy and Nudge were sitting together experimenting with Nudge's magnetism. First they tested how far her reach extended. When they were standing on opposite sides of the cabin she could still easily will the small, metal pen to come to her. Then they decided to see if there was a size limitation to her abilities. They already knew she could do small stuff, like silverware and soda cans, but they wanted to see more. For a few minutes, there were things flying all over the room. I decided to stop them when I was nearly decapitated by Fang's laptop.
Speaking of whom, I checked the cabin to see what he was doing. I didn't see him, which meant he was either: A) taking a leak or B) invisible and trying to spook me. Deciding that the latter was more likely, I braced myself, but he still managed to make me jump a foot in the air when he grabbed me when I was walking past one of the paintings. (Did I mention the plane was posh? Seriously, have many of you have seen paintings on a commercial airline? Didn't think so.)
Deciding to ignore Fang's snickering, I walked over to Angel to see what she and Total were up to. "Hi Max! We're seeing how many colors I can turn my feathers when I go into my bird form."
"And how many can you do so far?"
"Eight! Isn't that neat?"
What's neat is how you have almost the same amount of powers as the rest of us put together, I thought. Seriously, her DNA must be like a freakin' rainbow by now. Not unlike the plumage she's sporting.
The thought of rainbows gave me an idea. Smiling, I walked up to our steward and made a request.
"Hey Ig," I said walking up to Iggy. "Open your palm and close your eyes and you will get a big surprise."
"Seriously? Why do I have to close my eyes?"
"Because it rhymed. Now shut up and do it." He decided it was best not to argue (wise decision), and listened to me for once. Smiling, I shoved a fistful a candy into his hand, laughing when he recoiled from the shock.
"Whoa. What was that?"
"That was a rainbow, courtesy of the good folks at Skittles."
"It was… colorful."
"I was hoping it would be. So now that you've felt the rainbow," I said, popping a couple of the small candies in my mouth. "Do you wanna taste the rainbow?"
