Well I didn't feel like waiting for answers in my poll so I wrote a meeting scenario so this is the truth to the meeting of Fang and Winry. By the way I would like to apologize for not updating sooner, I've been studying for AP tests and things are hectic
Please read, review, and enjoy.
Ch. 10 Target Practice
"So Winry you never told us how you met Fang." Angel said. For everyone's benefit. Winry stopped chewing her pizza and her eyes went wide.
"Oh well…are you sure you want to know?" Winry asked. The flock and I nodded. "Well… we live in west Texas and when there is a large flying thing in the air, someone just has to take a shot at it." At that my jaw HIT THE FLOOR! Fang had been shot?! I was… I mean… okay I'm kind of pissed and still protective since someone shot Fang. But then again he did dump me so… you know what, he deserved it.
"I think it was the Mr. Waters' son." Omega said nonchalantly. "The direction Fang fell from was coming from their ranch. And he did show up after Fang came crashing into the ground."
"Was Fang okay? I mean I know that he was shot but you know what I mean!" Nudge was frantic. Angel was on the verge of tears.
"Oh no, don't worry! We fixed him up as soon as we could." Rachel cut in. "His wing was shot but the wound was superficial, he was only out of commission for two days. But the initial meeting was a bit confusing."
"What do you mean?" Iggy asked.
"Well…" Rachel shot a look at Winry. Winry motioned her to continue. "We had no idea who he was and when we asked who he was all he kept saying was…" Rachel looked at me. She looked unsure. "Max." I stopped breathing, I wanted to say something but I couldn't, Fang had left, he had no right talking about me.
"Since he said Max, we all assumed that his name was Max, so that's what we called him." Quill spoke up. Rachel looked disappointed at having someone steal her thunder. I gotta say he really isn't much of a talker, like Fang, but he knows just when to steal the spotlight from someone. "You know, why don't we just do a flashback?"
"I agree!" Rex piped up.
"Wait! This is not T.V. or a comic book, we can't do flashbacks!" I screamed. I mean seriously a freakin' flashback.
"Max we can do flashbacks don't worry." Rachel said.
"You see Quill's has visual telepathy. He can telepathically relay his memories to us." Winry answered my unspoken question. And here I only thought Angel and Quill could read minds.
"Well what do we do?" Iggy asked.
"Don't fight Quill's mind." Daemon answered. "But it might feel weird in the beginning. Also you might get some psychic echoes." What the Hell is a 'psychic echo'? You know what, I don't want to know.
"Okay Quill get ready. Now please, refrain from asking questions until after the memory. Now a quick heads up, Quill has seen each of our memories from our meeting with Fang so to you guys it will seem like you're watching a movie." Well that's convenient.
Next thing I knew I was watching, Rachel, Quill, Daemon, Rex, Omega, Winry and Bane playing outside on a sunny day. And they were on a ranch with a huge mansion! How is that fair I mean COME ON! Ugh. Whatever. Everyone was smiling and happy except for Rex, Daemon had grabbed a worm and was chasing her with it. Quill was reading a book, and Rachel was wearing a bikini lying on a lounger, tanning I presume. Omega was playing with Bane tossing him a ball while Winry sat in the shade of a tree watching.
BANG! Everyone's heads shot up at the sky, watching a large black bird falling fast toward them.
"What that, mama?" Bane asked Winry cocking his head to one side.
"Looks like someone has shot a bird Bane." Winry answered, standing up. She went over and hugged him.
"Oh…" Bane looked down at the ground. He looked sad. Okay that's kinda…cute. Well, Bane is a cute kid.
"I don't think that's a bird." Omega said. He focused binoculars on the falling black spot. Wait where did he get binoculars from? Omega's face suddenly showed an epiphany. "It's an avian hybrid! Rachel, Quill go and help slow his decent!" Rachel leapt from her lounger and Quill closed his book, both flew off toward the rapidly descending speck that was Fang. "Daemon, Rex take Bane inside and get the first-aid kit." They rushed off, and were back in less than ten seconds. "Winry just stay where you are, he's bleeding and we don't need you going into a feeding frenzy." Omega gave Winry a grin and in return for his last remark he got a Death Stare but she stayed back nonetheless.
Rachel and Quill came down with a bleeding Fang. His wing had been shot. Fang's black feathers were matted down with blood. Omega had the first-aid kit open and was using gauze to try and stop the bleeding.
"Hey can you hear me?" Rachel was trying to get Fang to be coherent. "Hey! What's your name, come on."
"M…ax…Max." Fang sputtered out.
"Okay I guess his name is Max." Rachel reported.
"Shit we need to get the bullet out but it's lodged in his wing." Omega told everyone. "Winry have you got yourself under control, we need your help!" Winry ran over to Omega and sat next to Fang's wing. "Can you get the bullet out of there?"
"Yeah." Winry breathed out. She was trying not to inhale too much of the smell of his blood I guess, food frenzy and all. "Max this is going to hurt…a lot, don't fight passing out." Pass out, Fang had been in much worse shape than this but he was losing a lot of blood. Winry held her palm a foot above the enter point of the bullet. She flicked her wrist upward, and the bullet flew out of his wing and hovered just beneath Winry's hand. Some blood had come up with the bullet and splattered on to her face by her upper lip. She licked it off.
"Winry?!" Omega looked at her wearily. Winry's fangs become visible below her upper lip.
"Mama!" Bane yelled out. Winry snapped out of whatever she was in and looked at him.
"Bane what are you doing out here? You were supposed to stay inside." She looked at him menacingly.
"I smelled mama's blood." Bane said apologetically.
"He's lost a lot of blood. The bullet hit a major artery" Daemon reported to the others.
"We'll use my blood harvester." Winry said.
"He's not dead yet Winry. Stop thinking with your stomach." Rachel scolded.
"I mean we can give him a blood transfusion by putting it in reverse." Winry retorted. Fang had certainly been in this situation before but not with a bullet, but instead with an Eraser.
"But whose blood do we use?" Daemon asked. "Wait does it even have a reverse switch?"
"Mine." Winry answered, She ignored Daemon's second question. Omega gave her a quizzical look. "Trust me."
Omega carried Fang into the mansion; they entered the basement and put him on a silver metal bed like thing with two blood bags and a whole bunch of tubes. They hooked Fang to some of the tubes and Winry to some of the others the blood from Winry traveled through the tubes into the machine and into Fang.
"Did anyone remember to disinfect their skin before putting in the needles?" Rex asked. "Actually did anybody even get new needles?" Omega slapped his forehead.
"Don't worry my last meal was pretty clean… and tasty, like oranges." Winry licked her lips. Everyone groaned except for Omega.
"What does my blood taste like?" Omega asked, blushing.
"Do you really want to know?" Winry asked back. Omega nodded. "Dr. Pepper."
Rachel volunteered for 'Max duty', as they called it.
"Well Max it looks like your life is safe for now." Rachel looked at Fang, she then reached her hand down and brushed some of the hair out of his face. Rachel then got an evil look in her eye, which let's face it since her eyes were black this 'evil' look in them was let's just say really bad news. "You know Max, you're pretty easy on the eyes. How would you like to become my new play thing?" She received no answer from the unconscious Fang. And well with her red-hair he might have said yes. Stupid Red-Haired Wonder.
Rachel then grabbed a pair of scissors and cut Fangs shirt down the middle exposing his chest and stomach. Rachel raised her eyebrows.
"Yeah I can work with this." That evil gleam in her eyes sparkling as bright as ever. Then a pitched voice screamed out.
"Rachel what are you doing!? Winry! Winry, Rachel is trying to rape Max!" Rex yelled up the stairs. Rachel was over Rex in a second, hand over Rex's mouth.
"Oh come on Rex, let me have some fun." Rachel was not denying Rex's accusation. What the hell was Rachel planning on doing to Fang?!
"What is going on?" Winry walked down the stairs and into the basement Bane in tow. Bane pulled his hand out of his mom's and ran straight to Fang's side. Bane pulled out his wings, (they were little bat-wings, so cute) and flapped really hard, he got enough lift and sat next to Fang. Winry was getting a recap on Rachel's current activities.
"Wake up." Bane spoke softly to Fang nudging his side. "Despertar." He pushed Fang's shoulder, and Fang began to stir.
"Huh…Hi." Fang opened his eyes and greeted the small boy sitting next to him.
"Mama." Bane called to his mother. Winry looked over, and had a surprised look on her face as she saw Fang trying to sit up. She rushed over and helped him up.
"How do you feel?" Winry asked Fang. Seriously though how do you think he felt he was just shot and was almost molested. Although he probably didn't know about the second part.
"Like crap. I think I was shot." Fang quickly looked over to his bandaged wing. "Oh, I guess I was."
"Yeah." Winry looked sympathetic. "You lost a lot of blood but we gave you a transfusion. So you should be alright." Fang's eyes went wide.
"You shouldn't have done that my blood is… rare." I assume that Fang was freaking out to the whole point that he received a transfusion from me and it didn't exactly set well in the beginning.
"Don't worry you received my blood." Winry tried to console him. "I can give blood to anyone or anything." She emphasized 'anything'. "Don't worry your with friends, we're like you." Winry opened her wings, Bane copied his mother.
"So Max, what were you doing flying over the great state of Texas alone?" Rachel asked her curiosity bubbling over. She ran up to Fang hands on the table, leaning over him, as she got her scissors ready for his pants. Winry looked down and pulled the scissors out of Rachel's hand and placed the blades in her skirt's waist band. Winry really liked putting sharp objects in weird places.
"I was just… Wait did you just call me Max?" Fang looked very confused.
"Yeah, it's your name right?" Rachel mirrored his look of confusion.
"No, my name's Fang." Fang told her. Winry stopped playing with Bane and looked at him.
"Were you created by a scientist named Jeb?" Now Winry's curiosity was bubbling over.
"I don't know if he created me but I guess he was involved." Fang answered her. He sounded nervous.
"Winry is he your brother?" Rachel asked her looking between her and Fang.
"Wait did you say brother?" Fang asked back. Totally shocked I didn't even know his face could look like that.
"Rex go report. Rachel go with her." Winry ordered them. They left without question they could tell this was a serious moment. "Yeah, I think you're my brother." Bane then made an inaudible grunt. Winry looked down at him and smiled. "And this is your nephew Bane."
"Are you sure I'm your brother?" Fang asked her. He was totally caught off guard.
"Yeah it explains why Bane thinks are blood is similar since we are half-siblings." Bane squirmed in his mother's arms and held them out to Fang. Fang looked at him and took him into one of his arms, as Bane hugged him and said "Tio."
Suddenly everything we were watching sped up. When everything went back to normal Fang was outside in new clothes. Everyone was outside too.
"You sure you have to leave, Fang?" Winry asked him. Now that I got a good look at them the family resemblance was pretty close the dark hair and piercing eyes and the affinity for black clothing.
"Yeah I better not stay. In my experience staying in one place too long can get dangerous." He said his goodbyes to everyone then rubbed the top of Bane's head and hugged him.
"Alright well take this cell-phone and this money, and don't be a stranger visit every now and then it would be nice to see you." She hugged her brother tightly. Then she whispered in his ear. "Don't worry if there is ever a 'hit' on Max or the rest of your flock I won't accept the mission no matter how high the bounty."
"Thanks." Fang whispered back. Too bad that she couldn't keep that promise. Fang opened his wings and took flight into the sky as everyone waved goodbye.

The image melted away and was replaced with our normal vision. We were back in our hotel room. Now we knew how they met Fang but we still had one problem (note to self, have a talk with Rachel). How do we get Bane back?
Okay thanks for reading, now I don't mean to be one of those kinds of people but reviews do make me happy and when I'm happy I write more and update sooner.
P.S. I have to study for two A.P. tests coming up so there might not be any updates very soon.
