Again, thanks so much for the reviews. It makes me happy that so many of you review just to review, not because I've asked for a certain number of reviews before posting the next chapter. :D



Solace: Chapter Twenty-Eight – Fly On, Major News

Yo.

It's been a while. Sorry about that. We appreciate all of the concerned messages you've been sending. Really, we do. Our lives were calm for a short while and there wasn't very much to let you in on. However, in the past week, everything turned upside down again. We had to leave our home and we've been traveling.

Last night, Max and I were separated from the Flock during a side mission to take care of some business. Didn't turn out as well as it could have.

I was stung by a wasp-man hybrid and had an allergic reaction, Max was shot, Iggy and the others were completely freaked out that we were both probably dead. You know, just another ordinary night for us bird-kids.

We even ran into an experiment Max sparred with years ago. He was the Director's pride and joy, but she's locked up now and this new company (Axis -- if you know anything about it, send us whatever information you can) sent him packing. Actually, they replaced him and tried to have him killed. The point is, he saved our lives last night.

When we finally made it back to our hotel, you'd think we all hadn't seen each other in years. There were tears (not from me, mind you) and hugs and all that other crap. Everyone's okay, thankfully. Max passed out for a few minutes, but she's fine now, just a little sore.

In other news, Angel's turning into a bit of a genius, studying up on the workings of the human brain. Did you know the human brain contains about 100 billion neurons and 100 trillion synapses? That's a crapload of tiny little connections. Anyway, her telepathic abilities seem to be getting more powerful and we're going to try something interesting. More on that later though. We wouldn't want to spoil any surprises, or get our own hopes up too much, for that matter.

Back to the situation at hand. We know there are still mutant experiments running around out there, but we don't know how many or where they're all at. They could be prowling the streets right outside your home, so keep a close eye on your surroundings. We suggest you don't go walking around at night, but if you absolutely must, try to stay in well-lit areas and don't go alone.

Awesome! If I tell my mom, she won't make me go to school! Thanks for letting us know. And come on! You can't say there's going to be a surprise and then not tell us what the surprise is! Tell us!

jaz719,

Whoa, don't use this as an excuse to skip school. Be grateful you're even in school. I only wrote that as a warning because there are some pretty sick experiments out there. Some of them, you can't even see. I wish I was kidding. As for the surprise, if it works out, believe me, I'll let you all know.

Fang and Flock, I was in the hospital a few days ago, and I'm pretty sure I saw a box labeled with 'Axis'. I hope that helps. I'm so happy you're all alive and well. Take care.

Eyeliner-Vampire,

Hm. I don't know what that tells us, but it's something, anyway. Thanks for the tip and the well wishes.

Max was shot? That's awful! Is she going to live? Oh, hey! If she doesn't live, can I join the Flock and be the new leader? You guys could teach me all about being a bird-kid! It'll be so much fun! I know I don't have wings, but, well, you could carry me, right?

pinkprincess332,

As I stated in the blog, Max is fine. She's had much worse injuries in the past. She's the strongest person I know and always bounces back. And being a bird-kid isn't exactly something you can teach. Sorry.

I've always been curious about something. Did you guys have any birds? It would be cool if you had a parakeet or something.

TrippingBillie36,

No, we don't. Why would we want to keep birds locked in cages when that's what our life was like for years?

Saint-Rheims from Montreal writes:

Angel is such a creepfest. She already has… what, 18 different powers? Now she has another one, plus she's studying the human brain? You guys had better watch your backs. She's going to wake up one day and go all Angel of Death on each and every one of you.

Saint-Rheims,

I don't know whether to laugh at your idiotic assumption or tell you to watch your own back if we ever meet in person. Either way, don't ever call Angel or anyone else in our flock a creepfest. I'll readily admit that she has moments that are downright creepy, but it gives her a certain charm and we love her for that.

Tin Can McMuffin Pants,

Like I said, I'm sorry I haven't blogged in a while. There hasn't been much happening. As for your request, I'm gonna have to pass for several reasons.

PeruvianChick from Baton Rouge writes:

You're allergic to wasps? And you never knew? I would have thought all those years living outside, you would've been stung at least once before. Anyway, glad you're all doing well.

PeruvianChick,

Not that I can remember. But you also have to take into account the fact that this dude was a full-grown person..type..thing. I'm sure it had more venom in its stinger than your average wasp. For a human, it may have been fatal. Luckily, bird-kids can sustain more trauma and heal faster. And thanks.

That's all the responses I can write for now. Max is waking up. I'm gonna go see if she needs anything.

Fly on,

Fang


So many updates… I need a nap.
