"So let me get this straight," I said, sitting on a couch (and I use that word loosely) in the den of the three people who I now found myself with, "you guys are recombinant DNA experiment, but you escaped and have been living on your own for a few years now." Are you starting to feel deja vu here, or is it just me?

"That's right," the girl, Felicia, said. "We were basically created and then just forgotten."

"We figured, 'if we're just going to sit here, we might as well try to escape while no ones looking'," Rex added.

"So what's this place?" I asked.

"It used to be an abandoned mine shaft," Felicia said. "We pretty much just moved whatever we could find in here and made it home."

"There's never enough food, though," Rex mumbled. "Sorry about wanting too eat you back there."

"No problem," I said. "I was in kind of the same situation a while ago myself."

"Really? What was it like? Wait, never mind, I want to know how you got mixed up with the Cy-leaders."

"Cy-leaders?" I wondered, not quite getting what he meant. Then it clicked, "Oh, you mean those Robo-divas that attacked Max, Fang and I."

"Robo-divas, hmm, it does sound a lot better then 'cybernetic cheerleader', doesn't it?" Felicia mused distractedly.

Once I got her attention again, I told them how we were attacked by the Robo-divas and how they kidnapped Frannie. After that I told them about my life; what it was like at the School, about the rest of the Flock, about the crazies we went up against to save the world, and anything else I could think of.

"Wow," Felicia breathed, "you life is a real rollercoaster, isn't it?"

"It really is," I agreed. "But enough about me, tell me some more about you guys," I pointed to the guy sitting to her left, the one that hadn't say a single word the entire time I've been here, "starting with him."
