Note: My names Bianca not James. McCartney not Patterson. Get the point?

Still in Fax's hotel room.

I looked over at him, his laugh or rather his chuckle was such a pleasant sound. My mind was still running at over time trying to work the guys problems out. I was kind of glad the voice aka Jeb hadn't chimed in yet, I think this is one of those rare subjects that was better handled by me without the influence (And brain attacks, when it doesn't get its own way) of my voice. I shook my head to clear those thoughts.

Fang was still laying against my back keeping me warm. "I know you very well Max" He said, I could tell he was proud of that fact and he looked really serious as well. I thought it was very funny but I rolled so my back was to him and held back fits of laughter, but since his arms around my waist he must've thought I was crying, imagine that? Maximum Ride crying because her fellow 'old' flock members imagine weren't getting along. That's just impossible, I couldn't tell Fang that though.

He was now rubbing the spot between my wings like he always had when I either was on the verge of a total breakdown or actually was confused, uncomfortable, un-calm or sad. I relaxed into his arms, which tightened around my waist again. "Iggy's become…Envious. Every time you say 'Fang you're second in command, the rest of you have to obey whilst I'm away" he becomes all 'well if you have your ickle Fangy why am I here, like he can protect us. He doesn't even have abilities." I could feel the air from his mouth, his breath, on my neck as he spoke and it sent tingles down my spine, but I also felt him stiffen then slacken. I instinctively rolled over and wrapped my arms around his neck so he couldn't get away but was met by an unemotional and hard face. I rose my eyebrow and he rose his eyebrow as well. I looked at him with eyes narrowed and he smirked. "I'm meant to just forget what you said aren't I?" He looked at me quizzically.

Now I felt like I'd lost the plot, he did say something and now he was acting like he hadn't. Man I felt confused, but at least he'd confessed. Fang was looking into my eyes and I looked back. He closed the proximity and we kissed , long, hard and passionate. His arms pulled me tight and we continued to kiss until we heard someone clear their throat. Fang who'd gotten on top of me growled and turned around to see Iggy and Jeb.

I went into a wtf state and accidentally pushed Fang and was sitting on his stomach whilst his head hung off the bed looking at the two other males upside down. I just stared at them with a huh look on my face you know the one? Head slightly tilted, mouth slightly open, eyebrow raised and hand fiddling with a hot mutant boy's shirt.

Jeb smiled as though he was not a white coat "Well this wasn't what a father needs to see."

"Well maybe you shouldn't have barged in here without knocking" I snapped, Fang Nodded upside making his fringe bounce. "What are you doing here Jeb?" I asked shortly, Fangs hands resting on my upper thighs, I knew he couldn't see where they are so I didn't say anything, besides I was enjoying the discomfort it was causing Jeb.

Jeb cleared his throat again, "First I want to know why I can't get through to you? Also why you want let me help you with this tiff between Fang and Iggy? What Fang was doing on top of you? Why you are in France?" He took a seat from the Veranda and brought it in I didn't tell him it was wet but when he sat I'm sure he felt it cause he closed his eyes and touched a bit of the seat his fat ass wasn't covering. Fang rolled so I was sitting on his back, I rubbed the spot between his wings, he purred so quietly I thought I'd imagined it. "Are you a cat now?" I asked him, he shook his butt instead if his head, I laughed. So silly.

I yawned "I dunno. Because its none of your business and they trust me more than they'll trust you., besides I can handle it. It's called making out and he is not on top of me I am sitting on his back. Because I want to be that's why." I snapped, I must've rubbed fang to hard cause he squirmed a little. A pet his hair softly. "And what's Iggy got to do with this?" I looked over at him, Fang rolled his shoulders preparing to fight. I lent down and whispered in his ear "Settle Fang." He moved his head to the side and I dunno what made me do but I licked his neck, he smirked I could see his side way glance and knew that this wasn't over. I sat back up.

Iggy straightened up "I need someone on my side since Gasman's too scared to stand by me and Jeb's the only other Guy-"

I was up in a second, had him pinned to the wall within the next and was about to smash his face when I lowered my fist, I got in his face and whispered "Well you've cost the flock their only chance at even having a few days off from danger, do you realise flyboys could be coming any minute, the young ones are sleeping and I'm too busy trying to fix you're mess that you're freaking jealousy caused that I can't protect them? You've ruined it Iggy-"

Fang pulled me back, "If Jeb is on your side go with him then, lets see your arguments, see why the fuck you think ruining everything is so important."

Iggy stepped around us and stood next to Jeb, I half expected him to say Jeb is my father. "Fine. You Fang have no powers, can't do anything physical or mentally yet I build bombs, have a fantastic sense of hearing but you're the second in command."

Oh mi god it is jealousy. Fang stepped forward so he was in front of Ig's and Jeb he held up his hands to show he had nothing in them. "Did it go through your head that maybe its not the fact that you've more abilities it's the fact you're younger and more childish? The fact that I've stood by Max longer then you've known her? The fact that though I admit I've no special power I'm not as weak as you? Showing emotion gives you away, why do you think I say little cause nosey pricks like you are always listening. Max leans on me for support, she can't lean on you."

I felt so bloody bad just then, I felt weak, stupid and helpless. I walked into the middle of the room and flopped down on Fang's bed. I just laid there as silence drifted around. Jeb got up and said "Enjoy the rest of your holidays, oh and as far as any of you know I'm dead." With that he was gone, Fantastic. Iggy and Fang were standing their staring unblinkingly at each other. I threw a pillow at Fang and he caught it before it hit him, I blinked wow.

Iggy left a few minutes after that, he was probably sick of this stupid staring contest. Once he was long gone Fang laid down on top of the blankets next to me, I looked over at him "Having powers can often make you…Angry, confused, prideful, blind, stupid, uncaring and sometimes annoying. Fang? I'm glad you're not like that, I don't know what we would all be like. What this" I motioned to our hands that had entwined "Would be, if this would happen. Fang some say be happy for what you have, I think in your case be happy for what you do not have." I blushed, I felt stupid now.
