Nudge's POV

Later as I was walking down a corridor, still steaming over what was in that look, when I was grabbed from behind and pulled into a cupboard.

I looked at my attacker and gasped, realising who it was………………….

'YOU?' I enquired in a puzzled yet accusing voice. 'What the h-e- double hockey sticks do you want?' Even managing to sound like Max in the dire circumstance- oh the drama.

'Shhhh…' the boy replied, 'you REALLY don't want them to find you, you and your family shouldn't have came here, you've thrown yourself into the midst of danger.'

I scoffed, 'oh what, like they give out homework here every night? Listen kid- you don't know danger!'

I turned to exit the closet but felt a strong hand on my arm, inhuman strong….MUTANT strong.

'Listen KID,' the boy spat, 'obviously I'm going to have to spell it out for you, this school is no ordinary school, this CITY is no ordinary city. Every man, woman and child here, even the animals are experiments. All except, obviously, the scientists, who made us what we are, they force us to live as a NORMAL human community whilst conducting their experiments so that the world won't suspect a thing. I have cousins in New York that come visit every summer, and they don't suspect a thing, my Gran, who lives in Boston, sends me 50 bucks every birthday through a REGUALAR postal service, and it arrives. Are you getting the scope of things here?'

Well I just stared open mouthed and slack jawed at the guy, I mean what would you say if you discovered that a bustling city in your country is actually a concealed home for mutant freaks?

The boy offered his hand, 'I'm Raptor, real name Rhapsody Thomas, obviously to seem like a normal city we all have to have normal identities and keep in touch with our normal families. No need to introduce yourself, Nudge, right? Member of the flock which also includes Max, Fang, Iggy, Gazzy and Angel. I also hear that you've picked up two new members but the whitecoats weren't saying their names.'

'They tell you about us?' I asked astounded.

Raptor just grinned in reply, it was a grin I'd seen many times, usually on the faces of Iggy and Gazzy.

'Course not, but a little eavesdropping never hurt anybody.'

I laughed along with him.

'Listen Nudge, the danger you're in is seriously grave, we can't leave the school now or the white coats will suspect and exterminate you. Just act like everything's normal, act like my friend and tonight I'll come to your house and explain to your flock the details. Ok? Good… gotta go… see you later Nudge.'

And as quick as he spoke, Raptor was gone.

Max's POV

'FANG!' I screamed the minute I stepped into the hotel room, 'COME OUT SO THAT I CAN KILL YOU!'

'Geez not with that as an incentive!' I heard his voice followed by the click of a lock- the bathroom.

Reaching it in moments I started pounding on the door of the bathroom, 'get you lazy ass out here- NOW!' I screamed.

'Not until you calm down,' I could just feel Fang's smirk, 'so, I'm guessing school wasn't very fun?'

'You piece of shit!' I yelled as I wrenched open the door, busting the lock. Fang was there waiting and he grabbed my wrists as I lunged for him.

It was times like these that his strength over me became apparent, wrestling me to the bed he sat on top of me refusing to get up until I calmed down.

'FINE!' I screamed, 'but the next school- you're attending!'

I spun towards the door, intent on checking on the Nudge who had walked home separately to the rest of us. From sources otherwise known as Iggy, she had a friend who was a boy.

Or a BOY who was a FRIEND

Boy……..friend

BOYFRIEND?

Coincidence? I think not.

My searching was short however as I noticed Nudge standing in the doorway with TWO boys, a smirk on the faces of all three, the rest of my flock was assembled behind.

'Max,' Nudge declared, 'meet Raptor and friend Taurus, they have some important information for us.'

'Ok I'm going to try to get this out quick so I hope you'll understand. ONE- Rhapsody Thomas.'

He declared pointing to himself, 'middle name Hugh if you want to get formal.'

'TWO- Taurus.'

Pointing to the other kid.

'No real name, rescued him from the school in Boston, which coincidently my Pack and I destroyed, as have we the Chicago school.'

'THREE- Philadelphia is no ordinary city. Every man, woman and child here, even the animals are experiments. All except, obviously, the scientists, who made us what we are, they force us to live as a NORMAL human community whilst conducting their experiments so that the world won't suspect a thing. Get it?'

I nodded my head slowly.

'FOUR- I overheard the white-coats discussing that as an obstacle in your mission they're going to capture you and attempt to exterminate you whilst you're here.'

'FIVE- My Pack and I, who are basically a group like your flock but only larger, have decided that after years of planning it's time to take down our school.'

'SIX- the city is to remain untouched, mutants and humans alike should be able to live here in the future, this will be a NORMAL city as the rest of the world thinks.'

'Finally SEVEN- We've helped you in your mission, as I mentioned the school in Boston, not far from here has been destroyed. Also some of us travelled secretly to Chicago and destroyed the school there. Any questions?'

'W-w-well,' I stuttered, 'this is a lot to take in, who would have thought that Philapdelphia is a city of mutants?'

Raptor grinned, 'believe me don't try and consider it, you'll give yourselves BIG headaches, all you need to concentrate on is waiting for us to destroy our school then moving on to New Orleans.'

'What do you mean waiting? Don't you need our help?' Fang asked.

'We have it planned out in detail, so don't worry about ay of that.'

Puzzled I enquired, 'then why do we wait? Can't we go now?'

Raptor looked embarrassed and mumbled, 'well I was hoping that Taurus, my little sister Eel and I could come with you. Because, well, you see, being so close to the white coats and having to lead normal lives with family backgrounds, we have access to lots of information. And well, there's no other way to say this, but Fang………….'

' I'm you're brother.'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oohh…will the flock discover their family backgrounds! You'll just have to wait and see…..

Mwahaha
