Hey guys, sorry I've been a bit busy these past couple weeks. Like even right now I'm putting on doing my homework and having a huge fight with my best friend that isn't that anymore. So oh well. Here is an extra long chapter to make it up to you!

(Max POV)

I couldn't breath. My chest felt like it was being crushed and god, the pain. There was so much pain.

...

Well the pain of being humiliated. Yes, we had come to the casino and yes, Iggy was very excited to see me. However, I didn't see him. That means I also didn't see him barreling down the lobby towards us. So now, I am lying on the ground with him sitting on top of me.

"Iggy," I hissed in a low voice "get off of me. We're trying to not draw attention. Notice these disguises? Yeah, They're for a reason! Now hurry up, we have to leav-umph!"

He cut me off by using both hands to squeeze my cheeks together and pucker my lips out so I looked like a fish. He then mirrored my look and was moving our heads back and forth singing "Guess who missed Maxie-kins?" while he straddled my torso. As you can tell, we were drawing a lot of attention. We seriously needed to get out of here.

"Ignatious, we really need to leave." I ground out, but the sound was muffled by my own cheeks.

He seemed to realize that I was serious and sighed. "Sorry Max, but you're my only family and I got excited to see you." he got off of me and stretched down a hand to help me up. "Come on, we gotta get goin'. Onward to adventure!" He exclaimed holding our joined hands up towards the ceiling. I huffed and started pulling him in the direction of the door. "Let's go."

Also, keep in mind that Fang was watching this whole ordeal. He was expecting a girl and not an Iggy. The look on his face was priceless as he followed us out though. We were quiet as we left the hotel, making sure no one was following us. I deemed that we had reached a suitable place to talk a fair distance from the hotel in some park with trees everywhere. I turned to Iggy and threw my hands up. "That was so not cool, Igford! We were trying to get in and get out! Not attractive everyone's attention in the damn room!"

He rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. "Pfft. Why don't you get that stick out of your ass so we can have a happy and heart felt reunion? And nice trench coat by the way." I ripped off my pitiful disguise and Fang did the same. I also tried to repress a smile and hold my ground but he noticed. Oh well, chances are that I'll have plenty opportunities to be pissed at him later. I decided to pay him back for earlier. So, I tackled him. We then commenced to roll around in the dirt wrestling while Iggy expressed himself with some choice words every time I "accidentally" elbowed or kneed him. I snuck a glance at Fang to notice he was smiling and chuckling so quietly, that if you didn't notice the slight shaking of his shoulders, then you wouldn't be able to tell. For some reason, it made me really happy that I was one of the reasons he was smiling. It just made me feel better. Although, it made me happy to make Iggy happy too, so it's probably just cause I see and like him almost as a brother.

After we had finished rolling around, we were covered in dirt, leaves, grass, and some mud since the ground was kind of damp. We just laid on the ground laughing. I motioned to Fang, who was standing with his intimidating way, and I held my hand out so he could help me up. He walked over and grasped my hand. Then when he wasn't expecting it, I yanked him down, where he landed in some mud right next to me. This, in turn, sent me and Iggy into another fit of laughter. I was laughing so hard that I didn't think that Fang would get revenge. Man, was I wrong. I was facing away from him on my side laughing with Iggy, when he grabbed my waist from behind and brought me against his chest. My cheeks flushed, but he couldn't see, thank god. He stood up, still holding me so I was in the air. His face was covered in mud, so he wiped it off. On me. He was rubbing his face in the crook of my neck to get the mud off. The mud was cold so I started squealing and squirming in his arms which made him hold me tighter. I wasn't complaining. Iggy was still laughing, then he decided to egg Fang on.

"Team Fang! Whoooop! Oh, oh, oh, I know! She gets dizzy! Twirl her! Twirl her Fangy!" He howled with giggles.

Of course, with my luck, he did start spinning. I hate being dizzy. I hate being picked up. I was terrified he was going to drop me. I squirmed some more in his arms until I was facing him and able to yell in his face. "Let me down, you jerk!" It wasn't very threatening though because I was still smiling with my eyes squeezed shut. He started going faster then. I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist and I held on for dear life. He clasped his hands more firmly behind my back while they were still around my waist. I buried my head in his neck to rub the mud off my face as payback. And so he couldn't see me laughing. I was so not letting him get a reaction like that out of me. He might go faster! I was actually having fun. He started to slow down though. When he finally stopped, his mouth was right next to my ear, almost brushing against it. "I would never drop you." He said in a breathy voice since he was probably tired from spinning. I slowly lifted my head up to look at him. We were very close. I could now see that his eyes were actually a very, very dark brown that had specks of and extremely dark green on the edges. His eyes really did look black. No one would be able to notice the different colors unless they were very close. Which I was. We just stood there a moment- well he stood while he held me- with our noses touching and his breath fanning across my face. We were both breathing heavily and I prayed that my breath didn't smell even though I brushed my teeth this morning. I'd be mortified. So we were having a wonderful moment when Iggy decided to interrupt.

"As much as I love sexual tension, which trust me I do, I'm covered in mud and I'd like a shower. So what five-star hotel are we staying in?" The last part was filled with sarcasm. He probably expected me to show him a cave with a sleeping bag. Not that we haven't done that before.

Have you ever gotten a test back and you only missed one? And that one red mark stands out like a huge reminder that you were one away from perfection? And it's just so red? My face was as red as that mark. And yes that's a terrible analogy but based on my education, you should be happy I even know what an analogy is. Anyway, he let me down gently and I backed a couple steps away. I was kind of bummed out. But there was one upside.

I'm almost positive that I saw Fang, the Fang, blush.

"Um, we're, uh, going back to Fang's place." I managed to stutter out. Come on Max, get yourself together. You can do this. Brotherly affection, that's all it was. Yes because all sisters wanted their brother to kiss her. I replied snarkily to myself. Okay, focus. You can argue with yourself later, Max.

Iggy perked up. "Well those are better accommidations then I was expecting."

Fang talked for the first time since we picked up Iggy into our little band of misfits. "Don't get your hopes up. It's an old warehouse building. Room's an old office."

"Dude! You're voice is so friggin' deep! You sound like Batman! Wait a second. Black clothes. Deep voice. Damsel in distress."- "Hey" I interjected, but it was ignored- "Ohmygod, you're Batman!" Iggy was bouncing in place. "Oh my god you're Maxie's dark knight, it's perfect!"

"I don't need a dark knight, I am perfectly capable on my own thank you very much! And Iggy, he. Is. Not. Batman." I enunciated each word to get my point through. He just rolled his eyes.

"I was only kidding, Max. I know he isn't Batman. There's no way that someone as cool as him would hang out around you anyway. I'm not stupid."

"What- but- dude- I am too cool enough to hang out with Batman!" I exclaimed.

"Maybe by Fang standards but not by bat standers." He said it as if he were explaining something to a child. He even had his arms crossed and was slowly shaking his head back and forth. Fang was generous enough to be my savoir. He laid his hand on my shoulder and said, "Cut her some slack. Not everyone can be up to Batman standards like us." Iggy nodded his head like he was contemplating something very serious. "Yes it's true, not everyone is as gifted as us glorious specimen."

"I am going to castrate both of you." I said in the most emotionless voice I could muster. Fang walked in front of me and put the other hand on my other shoulder and looked me very seriously in the eye. "Now Max. If you wanted in my pants, you could've just said so."

He winked. Iggy laughed. I kneed him. Iggy laughed harder.

"Come on, we're going." I mumbled. Iggy had to walk over and help Fang up off the ground "C'mon buddy, I know, shh, shhh, Uncle Iggy's here."

"I... am... going... to... maim you." Fang was looking up at Iggy through his fringe that went just above his eyes and let me be the one to tell you, it was hot.

Wait, wait, wait. I meant that in a totally non-romantic way. Like I was just saying girls would probably like him. Not me. No way. Ever hear of the friend-zone? Well it's been advanced to the brother-zone. Yep. That's it. You know what? Forget it. I didn't say anything.

"Ig, get his sorry but up and let's move out!" Fang was leaning on Iggy when Ig decided to stand erect and salute saying in a very deep voice, "Yes, sir!" This particular action though, caused Fang to fall straight back into another small pile of mud. Me and Ig were enjoying ourselves. Hero, however, was not.

(Lucifer's POV)

So she thinks she can disobey me and go around with those self rightous, condensending, goody-two shoes? After I had "interviewed" some other of my minions that had just been on Earth to spy, I had pieced it all together. She was just seen leaving the Hotel. Now, she and those two followers of hers will be punished. And I know just the way to do it.

"Sebastian!" I ordered.

"Yes. my lord?" He bowed.

"Bring me the one called Ella."

So an extra long chapter and some Fax for you guys! I hope you liked it! R&R!
