Dodger's POV
"Marlo! you're home!" I said cheerfully.
The twelve year old ran ran up to give me a hug.
Marlo had been away doing undercover research on ITEX's plan of action.
"Come on, we'll get something to eat and you can meet the flock." I said taking her to the kitchen.
I brought out the leftover pizza.
"Marlo, this is Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel. The flock. Oh yeah, and Total." I said pointing to the fluffy Scottie dog.
Everyone said hi.
"So Marlo, did you find out anything interesting? And don't forget we're going to have to do some training. You need to hone your skills and control your anger if you want to make your powers work to your advantage." I said.
"Um...Hong Kong. We need to go to Hong Kong in China. There's something important there. Information I mean. Oh, and there's a briefcase there with something important." She finished, taking a bite of her pizza.
The flock had all gathered around the table and were listening closely.
"Does ITEX's plan have anything to do with us? Or even the other mutants?" Max asked urgently.
"I think so. There designing a new kind of mutant like and eraser. They kidnapped real humans to make them stronger instead of growing them form a artificial embryo. I was locked away, in a cage. They didn't do anything to me yet, but I have a big black mark on my arm here." She said sounding scared.
She pointed to a black something growing on her arm like growing like a fungus.
New mutants? This didn't sound good.
I'd have to be heading to Hong Kong ASAP. Find out what they were doing, get the plan's and the briefcase, defeat all in my way, destroy their facility, rescue the prisoners that havn't been mutated yet and find a dress for the dance after Christmas break all in four days. Impossible? Never.
Marlo's POV
It's good to be home. Dodger told me the black mark wasn't too much to be worried about. We were up in the gym doing training.
"Alright! Stand up straight focus all your energy into one blow. Don't think! Just act. Don't get frustrated and breathe." Dodger said sternly.
I did as I was told. I saw the wood in front of me. I spread my arms out, and my power flowed through my veins and I burst into flames. My body was covered in fire and a shot a force forward burning a hole right through the wood with my fireball.
I could shoot bursts of flames at erasers, along with using my power to move exceptionally fast, and with force exerted properly I could fly. I couldn't do these things on command though. It only came off and on because I couldn't focus my power. If I got angry or scared even if a had just a burst of emotion (like if a cute guy was around) I would go up in flames. I needed to control myself that was what this training was for.
The school had originally made me to be a weapon but I fought back now I'm a target.
I had been training for a couple hours and I just couldn't do it. I would start to get it than lose it. I'm just very...distracted
"Alright that's enough for today. You need to have energy to have power we'll work on this more soon." Dodger said clearing away the stuff.
I need to control my emotions better. When I went back to school I didn't want something like the incident to happen again.
I don't want to talk about it.
Max's POV
This Marlo seems pretty cool. I fire starter that's sweet.
I was thinking about Fang.
I loved Fang I really did he was just so frustrating.
He just didn't let people in, he built up a wall with a big 'Keep Out' sign hung off his nose. All his rage, confusion, sadness, and pain is just bottled up.
Did he love me back? I mean and the whole red head thing and the kissing me in the cave thing and the kissing me on the bed thing he was just so mysterious. I mean the mysterious strong and silent type thing was pretty hott but it was annoying when you don't know what he's thinking and -
Just ask him. Max if he loves you which I don't doubt he does he'll open up and talk. Jeb said calmly.
It was annoying having your dad's little advice giving voice in your head.
If only I was a mind reader like Angel.
Angel...
"Hey Angel come here for a sec..."
Iggy's POV
Fang spilled to me that Nudge had a crush on me.
Nudge was like my little sister, but on the other hand she was totally hot.
What? Well how would I know, I guess.
I sat on my bed and cracked my neck I had wires, gun powder and some stuff Dodger gave me. I sipped a Coke and Gazzy shuffled in.
"Alright, let's suit up this bomb. What will we use it for?" Gazzy said
"Flyboys and whitcoats or anyone that tries to mess with us." Iggy said.
I was blind but he could do whatever I wanted to.
"Gazzy! Go to bed." Max called.
"But I've got bomb stuff to do!" He whined.
"Blowing up evil robotic lupine hybrids can wait sweetie! Go to bed." She called back.
Gazzy sighed.."Gnight Ig. Don't do anything without me, I wanna help to."
He shuffled off down the hallway to his room.
There was a knock at my door. Nudge peeped in.
Um, Iggy?
OOOO!!! A cliffie!
