Hey! I'm back with another update! One note: this isn't set in any set point in the real story, it's just and extra story. If that makes sense. and I don't own Maximum Ride. My thanks to:

BirdKid13 (thanks for the tip! And yeah I know about Max being reluctant. It's in this chapter! Hooray!)

Welcome to the Flock... Or Maybe Not.

Coral's POV

"What?!" I yelled in unison with the girl I think is Max.
"Angel!" Max screeched, and you could almost see steam coming out of her ears. "Since when did I agree to this?! This girl can't just walts in here and be one of us! Did you even see what she just did?! She almost-"
"Stop!" I interrupted, making Max scowl. "Did I even say I wanted to be here? I may not... Uh... Have a...uh... Home, but I d-didnt say I wanted to stay here!"
I hated myself for studdering, but I couldn't help it. This Max chic scared the crap out of me.
Now she looked really mad. "What, we're not good enough for you? Well your the one who showed up on our doorstep asking for help! Don't forget there are six of us and one of you. I don't advise you make me mad." Ice dripped from her words. A shiver ran down my spine.
Gee- whiz, how the heck is she so intimidating?
The little girl giggled. We both glared at her but I don't think she cared.
"Well, I came here looking for a little hospitality! You know, a little food, a warm bed, or even a point in the right direction. Nice people doing a lost young girl a favor, but nooooo, what I get is six stupid, rude, FREAKS!" All of them reacted to this. Even the emo-looking guy clenched his jaw. I could tell that each and every one of them wanted to snap my neck. Well, ha. I have something they don't. Freaky eyes that control people. Ha. Ha. Ha. Using only a minuscule amount of energy, I changed my eye color.
Red. Yes, that was a good choice.
Remember how I said Max was intimidating? In my own way, I can play that game. And WIN.
"Listen, freaks." I growled in an unnaturally deep voice. "If you even think, for one second that I couldn't kill you with my bare hands, well, let me tell you. It won't be long before I prove you wrong. Dead wrong. It will be slow and agonizing and painful. Do. You. Hear. Me?" And just at the right time, it started pouring rain outside, and a huge bolt of lightnig flashed in the window behind me. You should have seen their faces. They looked like they'd seen a ghost. Collaborating with a vampire. To kill the entire population of mummies walking before them. It was so dang hilarious! It took all my self control not to crack up laughing. The little blonde girl did bust out in giggles. I didn't notice, but she was the only one not scared.
"Guys! You should see your faces!" She puffed out between giggles. "She totally freaked you out!"
I decided I liked this girl. I changed my eyes back to normal and turned to her, almost laughing myself.
"It was pretty funny, huh?" I asked her, too insanely amused to fell guilty about being so mean.
Max snapped out of it first, trying to regain her cool.
"Max is wondering how you actually phased her. Cuz she's 'Max the invincible." The little girl chimed. Max scowled at her.
The others began to realize how not-scary I was and kind of just stood there akwardly. Except the black winged guy. He just regained his posture as if nothing happened.
It occurred to me that all of them seemed to have forgotten what I almost did to Max a minute ago. The little girl made a face at me.
Huh?

Angel's POV

Coral- Everyone seems to have forgotten what I almost did to Max a minute ago
I tried to give her a look that said, "as if." But I'm not sure she got the message.
My name's Angel by the way. Now you can stop thinking of me as 'the little blonde girl.'
I pushed the thought at her gently.
"How do you know what I was thinking of you as?" She asked confused, as if I had said it out loud. I giggled.
I can read minds, silly.
Coral- holy crap. So she has been reading my mind this whole time? Even when I thought about Max being intimidating? Oh geez...
Max- Angel! What are you telling her? I don't trust her! Stop it!
Fang- How the heck did that girl actually scare me?
I giggled. "Fang wants to know 'how the heck you scared him." I tell Coral, and she lets out an amused pfft. Fang narrows his eyes at me, and I smile back sweetly.

Coral's POV
"I would tell you guys my power but..." I say teasingly, probably crossing some kind of line, but whatever. "Max says that I can't stay, so..."
I know I said I didn't want to stay, but I really do. They freaked me out at first but I do need a place to stay...
"No." Max said sternly, and scowled at me.
"Please, Max? Please please please? Pretty pretty please with a homemade chocolate chip cookie on top?" Angel pleaded. I looked over at her to see the most adorable, most convincing, most sad looking Bambi eyes I had ever seen in my life.
"Fine." She huffed angrily. "But one step in the wrong direction, and she's out."
That exchange really made me sound like a stray dog Angel picked up off the street.
"Your power?" The dark skinned girl asked. "I remember when I discovered my powers. We were in this Institute and I touched the computer and bam! I suddenly knew all about the person who worked there and the password and everything! It was so cool! Then we were on this plane and I reached over and my soda can was instantly attracted to me like, what's the expression? Flies to a... No... Oh! Moths to a candleli-"
"NUDGE!" Cried the tall blonde boy, and she instantly shut her mouth.
Thank heavens.
"Names first." I said boldly. "You know mine. I should know yours."
"This is Max," chimed Angel. "I'm Angel. The silent one is Fang. The tall blonde one is Iggy. This is Nudge. Here's The Gasman. We call him Gazzy."
"Don't ask why." Said Iggy gravely. "Now spill."
"Okay, okay." I say, not entirely ready, but knowing that stalling probably had its consequences. "You obviously know it has something to do with my eyes. They change color, which is pretty cool, but here's the best part. I can use them to inflict emotions and change perspectives. It's way fun to prank people if you're me, but it gets a little akward if they catch you."
"That's how you scared us..." I heard fang mutter.
"But it apperently doesn't work on Angel." I finish up with.
"Way cool." Was the only thing said, and it was from Iggy, who then proceeded to drop a small black object into my hand. I looked at it suspiciously and rolled it between my fingers.
It had a button.
"Don't!" I heard Angel yell.
But I had already pressed it, sending electric currents running up and down my body, and I heard a sizzling sound. The shock didnt hurt much, but it took me off guard and I practically jumped ten feet in the air.
"And that's what you get for messing with the Igster!" He shouted and slapped high fives with The Gasman.
So that pretty much sums up my first day with the flock. So much for first impressions. *sigh*

If the end is not all that great, please tell me! I love tips! Review! :)
