Ok
Don't kill the writer! I understand if you're are upset at me for not updating, it's understandable but lately I haven't had that feeling to write lately. Not a good excuse, I know but I didn't want to write another crappy chapter.
This chapter will be based off your reviews, which I loved! Fang will ask Max questions to which she will answer!But these questions will also come from our favorite pyro!
72 reviews though. Darn we were so close!
Chapter 12
Max and I woke up tot eh sound of giggles. Max shot up in my arms alert, but relaxed when seeing me. For some reason that made me feel warm inside. The giggles continued until we turned around in the branch to see the flock right behind us.
Of course Igg had to burst out into "Max and Fang sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G…"
The close proximity startled Max a little too much, I think because she jumped slightly and lost her balance. She was about to fall out the tree but I caught her hand just in time and pulled her up…
A little too close to my face, I turned a little red at our close proximity and I think Max did too. But of course she played it off and pulled one of her famous snap decisions. She threw her weight off the branch when I was still holding her up right.
Making me fall with her. Great Max.
And unlike her with her special FBI training and all, I fell flat on my ass, making Max and the rest of them burst out into laughter.
Max of course, flipped in the air and landed on her feet like back at the cave. Humph not fair, not all of us have special FBI training.
"Ha, Ha Max, very funny" I said while standing up scowling. Max just smirked, finally getting over laughing.
"I hate to bug you love birds" Iggy, started, earning a glare from Max and me "but what were you guys doing up there?" he asked, wiggling his eyebrows. Max, who snuck up behind him in all her silent glory, hit Iggy on the back of his head causing him to face plant into the dirt. Everyone burst out laughing, well except me. I don't laugh so I just smirked.
"If you must know, Fang wanted to know a little more about me, because he was sick of my secrets." Max said matter-of-factly. Iggy literally looked like he was going to burst.
"Oh! I want to know how you learned to play all the instruments!" Iggy, practically screamed in Max's ear.
"First god Iggy! I have eardrums! And um ok" Max said, a little uncertain "I basically taught myself. Music was what I had when I was bored, so I started to learn how to play. I really liked it so I learned more and more instruments." She concluded. I was surprised, she taught herself. Impressive.
"Have you ever been in a regular high school?" Nudge asked. Max seemed surprised at this.
"When I was with foster homes, yes. I often didn't get along well with the students though…but I was smart yet athletic. So most people didn't know where to classify me. FBI academic training gave me the education beyond college n a few years. It fried my brain often but I don't have to study often and I keep up with my studies. And on some missions I had to go undercover..." Max trailed off.
"Wait" Iggy said "What kind of missions? Did you get to blow anything up?" He asked excitedly. Max laughed.
"My solo missions, but mostly it was Omega and me. I never killed anybody directly but…I have injured a lot. But I did what I had to do to protect the ones I love. The worst I have dealt with is some bullet wounds and some people in a coma…" Max trailed off again.
"Coma?" Iggy asked. Max looked over at Angel and Gazzy. "Hey Ange? Gazzy? Wanna go see if Dr. M can cook us something to eat?" she asked. Both of them ran out.
"Mr. Chu just woke up from his coma. His trial is coming up, for which I have to attend. Considering I ended him and his company." Max said softly. Iggy looked at me confused, for which I am sure had the same expression.
Max gave a humorless laugh "That day is pretty hard to forget. The day I got my name." Max chuckled again without humor.
"Name?" Iggy asked. Max smiled ruefully. "The Invincible Maximum Ride." She stated, Iggy and I looked at Max still confused. Max sighed but elaborated, though it looked like she didn't want to, "The name you get when you take out a whole army, with no weapon. The day I took out one of the FBI's main target enemy. Single handily." She said.
I was shocked, and so was Iggy. Mr. Chu, I remember my mo- Anne talking about him. He was notorious. He has caused trouble for the FBI for years. He had armies of specially trained people, equipped and ready. The FBI has been trying to stop him for a while. That's why my mom stop talking and mention it. I thought she cared, and though it was too much for her kids to bear. Humph. So much for good parenting.
But back on topic. I know Max could fight. I know she was the best agent ever. But to take out a whole army? I don't that for a second but the amount of strength, stamina and power. That's amazing, geez she is the maximum, huh?
But that must have done more than make her name clear. It had to.
"So what was your motivation?" I asked casually, but I knew this piece was vital. Iggy straightened and I knew he figured out that we were missing a puzzle piece. Max looked out into the distance.
"They…they…I..." Max fumbled, and I knew I hit something. She seemed to gain back her walls though, and quite fast considering what she said next.
Of course her being Max, looked me dead in the eye and her voice came out strong and firm. "They had my only family left. They had Ari." She stated. Realization dawned on me and by the look of Iggy I guess he figured it out too.
That's why Max was so protective. She had to fight a whole army just to keep her brother alive. And she has plenty of enemies and by the looks of things, this girl shows no weakness towards the enemy. Ari is an easy target. What stops every enemy she makes from capturing Ari? Well I just figured it out. Her name, the name she earned by doing the impossible to get her brother back.
If she did the impossible, what stops her from doing it again? What stops her from taking them out again? Ari might be a weakness, but he's also her greatest weapon, defense, and motive.
"So…oh" I said, I know not very bright but geez this girl had secrets and mysteries in her. Max rolled her eyes at my response and just said "Ok this is a gloomy topic. Any other question?" she asked. And just like that Iggy was hyper 2 year old again. Oh God.
"What about solo missions? Goals for them? I mean no offense but you were a little young and a girl so the missions couldn't be that hard." Iggy said and I knew he made a mistake. A BIG mistake. Max was a bit of a feminist, you could say.
Max launched herself at Iggy and she flying tackled him. After that Max got up and casually walked over back to her seat. Iggy continued to lay and groan on the ground. I rose an eyebrow at Max, but she just shrugged.
The sad part was that was a typical Max thing.
And even that was hot and that just was unfair. I internally sighed. Well so much for controlling my hormones
Max opened her mouth to continue but Angel and Gazzy came in yelling "Lunch"
Max mouthed later and got up with the kids and left.
This left me with one question that probably won't ever be solved: Will I ever figure the Invincible Maximum Ride?
Yet I didn't even realized the answer that I already knew was that I already have figured her out. And that's one thing even Maximum Ride is afraid of.
Crappy yes.
But a chapter? Yes.
*sigh* I just kind of stuck with Max's past because really it's not lack of ideas it is too many ideas. I think I will put a pause on that and do a little time speed.
To the first day of school! Hmmm can't wait for Max to meet Lissa! *Cackles*
But until I finish the Percy Jackson series which I highly recommend! I won't be updating soooo
Sorry! Bye! *runs to avoid angry readers*
