Max's POV

It had been about 2 hours since we had met the 'other flock' and we had barely spoken a full sentence to each other. Jeb had left about 10 minutes ago and so far we hadn't killed each other yet, which I think is a miracle.

"So Jet, Storm and Al, you get this room. Shadow, Tamzi, Debbie and Pyro, you get this room. And Fang, Dylan, Iggy and Gazzy get this room and we girls get this room" I said.

"Who made you boss?" Jet asked. "Me" I glared. "Well you're not the boss of us" he snapped. "What are you like 5?" I asked. "You wanna go?" he hissed. "Bring it" I whispered loudly.

Jet stood closer to me and I saw the others take their positions. Fang and Shadow were inches apart, Dylan and Tamzi had their fists up, Al and Nudge were glaring at each other, Gazzy and Debbie were in fighting stances, Angel and Storm were practically hissing at each other and Iggy and Pyro were just standing there looking blank.

At once everyone leapt forward. Jet and I rolled on the floor, throwing random punches. I felt my eye start to go black and I felt his nose crunch under my fist. After a minute we were both lying there panting.

"Call it even?" I asked. "Deal" he said and I even saw a smile. "Ok guys, knock it off" I called. They all froze.

Fang and Shadow were wrestling on the ground, Tamzi had Dylan by the throat, Nudge was sitting on Al's back with his arms being pulled behind his back, Gazzy was lying on the ground and Debbie was sitting on him, Angel and Storm were in mid swing and Pyro had Iggy in a head-lock.

"Ok, we need to talk" I said and walked to the lounge and everyone followed. We all sat down and I took a deep breath.

"Ok. We don't always have to get along, but we have to try. I don't care if we're 'good' and your 'evil' we have to work together to save the world. So stop being idiots and just try" I snapped. "I agree with Max, surprisingly. We have to pull our act together. I don't care if this flock is the most dull group ever, we have to get along" Jet said. "Dull?" Gazzy snapped. "Ok. Let's get the ball rolling" I said, getting up and leaving.

I went outside and they all followed me. We headed into the forest behind our place and found an open field like area.

"What are we doing?" Nudge asked. "Showing our powers" I said. "Who's first?" I asked. No one moved. I pushed Gazzy into the circle. He glared at me and I grinned.

Gazzy just stood there as time ticked by. "Is he going to do something?" Al asked. "Is he going to do something?" Gazzy mimicked exactly.

"Very funny" he sneered. "Very funny" Gazzy mimicked. "So what's the point of that? It's just annoying" Jet said. "So what's the point of that? It's just annoying" Gazzy copied and I pulled him out of the circle before they could kill him.

Fang stood in next. Everything as silent, then right before our eyes Fang disappeared. Storm picked up a stone and threw it at where Fang had been. It hit Fang in the chest causing him to stumble backwards and reappearing. He glared at the kid and walked out of the circle.

Storm strutted into the circle and stood there. He lifted his hand and rocks flew around him. Water followed the circle and he was lifted into the air from wind and a spark ignited with a click of his fingers. We stood there in shock as he finished and walked out of the circle with a smug look.

I heard a thump and saw Nudge lying on the ground with one hand over her eye. Pyro stood over her with her fist curled.

"She hit me" Nudge squeaked. "She said I had bad fashion sense" Pyro said and I tried not to laugh. Pyro stood there in ripped jeans, a black tank top and skater gloves. "Keep your hands to yourself" I warned and she shrugged.

Tamzi walked into the circle. She smiled and I saw all the men drop to their knees. I felt this pull towards her. She was so beautiful, I just wanted to do anything for her. She walked out and I came out of my trance. I saw Dylan wipe some drool away.

Debbie stood in and squinted her eyes. "There's three shops near here, one sells clothes, one food and one furniture. Your feeling confused" she pointed at Dylan. "Your angry" she pointed to Fang. "And your...hungry?" she pointed to Iggy who grinned.

She walked out and Angel walked in. "I can get in all your minds. I can talk to sea creatures, I can control your minds, I can breathe underwater" she said in my mind and I assume everyone else's. She walked out and Al walked in.

He stood there then disappeared. I looked around but he was nowhere to be seen. "Boo" he whispered from behind me and I jumped. He laughed and teleported back to the circle. He walked out and Shadow walked in.

She held out her hand and Fang leapt forward. He put his arms in the air and started...dancing? He twirled and leapt. I should have been furious but it was just too funny. "Stop it!" Angel yelled and I felt her power snap like it did sometimes and it caused Shadow to fall to the ground leaving Fang looking puzzled. Shadow hissed at Angel but headed back to her spot as Dylan headed in.

"Your right Debbie, three are shops, I can see them" he winked and she smiled. He pulled out a pocket knife and cut his arm. The others looked at him like he was crazy. He spat on his arm and it healed straight away.

"I can do better" Jet smirked. Dylan cleaned his knife and tossed it to Jet. Jet cut his arm and in less than a few seconds it had healed. "I can also go for ages without food and water. Plus I'm a fast flyer" he said.

"How fast?" I asked. "Faster than you" he grinned. "Wanna bet?" I teased. "You're on" he said. "Ready? Set go" I laughed snapping out my wings and taking off.

He followed quickly behind me. I pushed with all my might but he was catching up. Soon we were flying neck and neck. We were speeding so fast beneath us was just a blur. We landed back and I grinned.

"Wow" I said and he nodded. Nudge stood out next and held out her hand. Everything metal flew at her and dropped at her feet.

I heard a choking sound and saw Pyro with her hands around her neck for she had a necklace, looked like dog tags like in the army, around and they were choking her, trying to get to Nudge. I saw Nudge narrow her eyes and Pyro dropped to her knees, going red.

"Nudge stop! You're going to kill her!" I yelled but she ignored me. Jet growled and ran at Nudge but was knocked to his ass by a force. I looked at Angel who had her arms up with an invisible force stopping anyone getting to her and Nudge.

"Stop it!" I yelled. "Pyro break it!" Jet yelled at her. I saw Pyro reach back and break the chain of her necklace so it zoomed towards Nudge.

She got up and I saw the coldness in her eyes.

"My turn" she hissed. The sunny sky turned black and lightening flashed and thunder cracked. The wind picked up and my hair blew around me. I saw her eyes go red and I flinched.

Things started flying everywhere. Rocks, branches, even people as everyone was getting thrown back. I knew it wasn't the wind doing that, it was her telekinesis powers. She held out her hands and snapped open her wings which were black with red splats over them. She hovered in the air, her wings keeping her in the same spot. Flames came out of her palms and surrounded her. I heard a bang and saw small explosions going off everywhere. It was a war zone, if she didn't stop soon she was going to kill us all.

"Stop!" I screamed but it was carried away from the wind. "If you die I get your powers" she laughed. "Pyro! Stop!" Jet yelled but she ignored him and he was thrown to the ground, rolling into me and knocking me over.

"Pyro!" I heard a scream and looked to see Storm get slammed into a tree and he dropped to the ground, not moving. Suddenly the wind stopped and everything cleared, just a light drizzle of rain was left. The flames disappeared and the explosions stopped. Everything became still and Pyro dropped to the ground, putting her wings away.

Everyone was on the ground; a few had their hands over their heads. I realized Jet had wrapped his arms around me protectively and as soon as he noticed he dropped them. I got up and brushed myself off.

Pyro walked over to Storm. The rain got heavier as he didn't move. She rolled him over with her foot and I saw her eyes go back to blue. She looked at Dylan and he limped over to her. He leaned over and looked at Storm's head which had a split in it. He put his ear to his chest and we all stood around. Dylan looked at me then all of a sudden he spat on Storm. I was about to yell at him when I noticed the wound on his head started healing.

I could see Storm breathing and I saw everyone sigh with relief.

Pyro didn't say anything but leant down and picked him up. She ran a hand through his messy black hair. She snapped out her wings and took off with him.

"Should we umm follow her?" I asked. "I think if she wanted to hurt him there'd be nothing we could do anyways. I don't think she'll hurt him though" Jet said watching her disappear.

"She has some serious problems" Nudge said and I nodded.

Pyro's POV

I felt the rain on my back as I flew. I didn't know where I was going until I saw the house. I had come back to the flocks house.

I landed and walked inside like I owned the place. I laid Storm down on the couch. I knelt down beside him and looked at him.

He was pale but looked like he was going to wake up with a headache but be fine. I don't know what had happened. I should have killed them all. But I flinched as I recalled Storm's scream and the thump as he hit the tree.

Why was I doing this? I had never cared about anyone other than myself before. That's a lie, I thought to myself. There was once when I had people to care about.

Then it hit me. Storm looked like a younger version of Lez. With the black hair and dark eyes. He even had that vain spark like him. No wonder I was so drawn to Storm, he reminded me of my best friend.

I sighed and got up. I headed to 'my room' and flopped down on the bed. I reached up to play with my necklace which I did when I was upset, but remembered it wasn't there. I growled to myself, stupid kid. I rolled over and fell asleep.

Iggy's POV

My stomach growled as we neared the house. Well that had been interesting. My leg hurt and I had noticed before I had cut it and there was a trail of blood behind me. I felt tempted to ask Dylan to fix it, but no way in hell was I getting that guy to spit on me, I'd rather bleed to death.

Soon it hurt to walk on so I spread my wings and took off. Screw it, I'll just fly, I thought to myself and I felt Angel roll her eyes as she was listening to my thoughts. "Baby" I heard Max say as I was in the air.

I loved having the super senses while having my sight. It was epic. My leg didn't hurt that much, but I was hungry.

I landed and casually walked into the kitchen. I made a sandwich, yes I know it was a girls job but I'm too hungry to wait.

I walked into the lounge room and saw Storm lying on the couch. I chewed slowly as I stared at him. I took another bite of my sandwich and headed to the bathroom to clean my wound.

I poked my head in the other flock's girl's room and sure enough Pyro was passed out on her bed. I was tempted to throw my meat from my sandwich at her, but it was too good to waste, so I threw my sock at her.

She jumped up, can't blame her, haven't washed that sock in weeks.

"Rise and shine princess" I said with my mouth full. "You should really wash those" she said looking at my brown sock (it was originally white). "It's only gonna get dirty again" I shrugged. "Fair enough" she said.

"Want a bite?" I asked holding out my sandwich. "What is it?" She asked. "Tomato, salami, olives, cheese, bacon, mayonnaise, mustard , pickles and avocado" I smiled at my creation. She looked and it then shrugged and took a bite.

"Mmm, it's good" she said and wiped the mayonnaise from her mouth. She still had mustard on her nose and I chuckled. I leant forward and wiped it off and she froze.

"Sorry" I said. "Same" she replied. "For what?" I asked. She looked down and I saw the blood, remembering my cut. "Oh yeah" I said frowning.

"My bad. Let me help" she said leading me to my bathroom. I sat up on the bench and took another bite of my sandwich as she wet a cloth and started wiping away the blood.

I flinched as it stung. "Don't be a baby" she said. I finished the last of my sandwich as she finished cleaning up. "So what's your problem?" I asked. I was never into small talk, unless i did something wrong and Max was going to beat me up. She looked at me and I swear I saw her eyes flash red.

"Like I get why you were mad at Nudge, but you took it a bit far. Plus what was with before. No matter what anyone you wouldnt stop but when Storm was hurt that got to you. What was that about?" i asked trying to appear casual by washing my hands.

"He just reminds me of someone I used to know" she said. "A dead someone?" I asked sympatheticly. "No, he's alive" she thought, off in her own world. "Why dont you stay with him then?" I asked. "I'm dead to him" she said and for once i heard emotion in her other then anger evil stuff. "Why, what happened?" I asked, not trying to hide my curiosity now. "I'm not like the rest of you, I'm different" she said, cracking her fingers. "How so?" I asked. "Lets just say I'm a freak of freaks" she said as we heard the others arrive and she left.

I was dumbstruck. I couldnt move, I was frozen. A freak of freaks? That was what I always said I was.
