Max p.o.v.
Ugh I don't want that stupid read headed bimbo in my car! Its sacred to me. Okay so you're probably wondering how I could afford such a expensive car. Well… I can't. Leo and Ari stole it for me. Yeah yeah the great maximum ride having to resort to stealing things unbelievable. Ha yeah right. Before Leo found me I was being tortured at my so called school. It was actually a research facility on the amount of pain humans at a certain age can withstand, and I was chosen for my age.
But after three years or so I escaped and tried to run away. But somehow no matter where I went I was found and taken back. This went on for another year or so before I escaped again. I found my way to a gym where this little old lady took me in. but it had a price. I had to train with her best students in the "art of street fighting" as she called it. So from day one I was beat up and used as a punching bag. But I slowly got better, faster and stronger than some of the best fighters she had.
I got so sick of being her pawn, getting beat up just so she could money off of me so I again ran away. That time I wasn't so lucky in finding a new home. I lived on the streets, digging in dumpsters and raiding gas stations at night to get food and other things that I needed. Until I ran into Leo, that is. I'm not sure why he decided to take me of all people in but I'm glad he did.
He brought me back to our dear U.S of A and I was brought into his gang. They all accepted me like I had always been a member. Angel, Ari, and of course Leo were the ones I grew close to.
After a few months I went back to Hawaii and shut down that old lady's gym. I still sometimes feel the heat of the fire as it slow grew to destroy the building. As the police asnd fire department gathered around the building a freak thunderstorm came and put out the fire. They saw me standing on one of the support beam and out of nowhere a giant hawk came up behind me and flared its wings as a large crack of thunder spilt through the sky. I jumped down and ran. Back at one of the gangs safe houses the next day I was watching the local news when the fire came on.
" And the girl seen on a support beam of the building is still unidentified. The police are calling her the Thunderbird because of this footage captured by a locals camera."
The picture had flashed to me standing there on the beam with the birds wings flared out behind me. The large booming thunder was heard as I jumped the wings disappearing with me.
The Thunderbird. The whole gang saw the news feed and when I got back they had decided that would be my trademark name.
As we rounded the curb to get into the warehouse pain shot through my shoulder making the world fade out long enough for me to almost drive over the ledge and into the small river below. Leo grabbed the wheel and jerked hard to the right, getting us back on the road. Lissa screamed but was cut off quickly by Nudge punching her, effectively knocking her out.
"Thanks Nudge, she deserved it." I said, still slightly dazed.
Fang shot me a glare but didn't say anything. Leo was still holding on to the wheel and laughing slightly.
Nudge smiled and nodded to Fang.
".Likesheisareallymeanperson,!.thatisso-
"NUDGE! Shut up!" We all yelled.
"Sorry." Said a very sheepish looking Nudge.
We all got out of my car and stretched our stiff muscles. That car wasn't meant to hold six people.
Fang dragged Lissa out of the back and looked at me. He wanted to know where he could put her until she woke up.
"Meh, dump her in one of the spare rooms somewhere. And make sure it's somewhere far from my room." I said, waving my had in the direction of the spare rooms.
Leo helped me make my way to our room so I could lay down and rest. The shots I had taken were really sucking the strength right out of me.
Leo helped me get into the bed and I drifted of to sleep almost before my head hit the pillow.
The last thing I remember hearing before I drifted off was Leo's voice. Smooth and calming in my ear.
"Sleep well baby, you need your rest." And with a kiss on the forehead I was out.
