Sam told Flick about his endeavours though time, she was ecstatic that he finally harnessed the power, that has been at the pinnacle of the white coats what's hot list for a good what month, year? Max had them in a circle on the massive field that lay before them.
"Lets talk hand to hand combat" she began. Fang shot her look, he knew why she had called for this. "Flick, you're excused due to obvious reasons and because I think your pretty good anyway..." She blushed a little from the compliment.
"Thanks, learnt from the best I guess..." She looked at Fang, they shared a moment of understanding. Max unaware of this knowledge, thought back to when they were
Fighting and concluded that they did look similar on the battle field and not just because of the blood connection.
"Yeah and guess who he learnt it from..." She gave an innocent smile in Fangs direction, he gave her a half smile. "anyway Fang, if you take Sam, have a bit of a stand off?" A smile crept over Fang's face, a proper one though, it looked kind of evil but Max liked that mischievous look he had sometimes.
"This I got to watch..." Flick said, arms crossed.
"Challenge accepted..." Sam said, the same smile etched across his face too. Max and Flick took to the side lines, sitting just far enough away to not be in danger. Fang not afraid to through a punch first went for a light punch on his chest.
POV Fang.
Sam blocked my punch the bugger, I was here to test him, I was here to show Max what I know he can do...she just needed to see it. Though I wasn't going to go lightly. Apparently I had to make a few 'mistakes' too, so that if Max shouted something it wasn't one sided, it wast just Sam at fault. She was there to encourage but couldn't help feeling a little nervous in front of her. I couldn't fail in front of her, it goes against everything. Sam delivered a punch almost to my jaw, just grazing as I stepped back and ramming a knee into his gut in the interim. I must say that is my signature move. He wheezed a little but focused and got back on his feet.
"Fang, I feel a bit weird hitting you..."
"Man, it's cool...I kick the crap out of Max all the time...I mean in training" I couldn't help thinking I had dug myself a hole.
"Okay... It's Flick, she's watching..."
"Sam it's fine..."
"Hey stop the chit-chat, both of you would be dead by now!" Flick shouted, a sort of impulse ran through Sam at that moment, like reality had just crashed down on him. He stumbled back and fell on the floor, I swear I didn't hit him...he just looked dizzy and I don't know fell forward loosing his balance I don't know. I helped him up off the ground.
"Sam?" I asked.
"I'm fine...I just-" Flick and Max had joined us.
"Are you okay? Fang this is training not the real thing..." Max joked, socking me in the arm.
"I didn't hit-" I began.
"Fang punched me good in the chest, took me off that's all" Sam said, cutting me off, what wasn't he telling me?
"Yeah..." I played along. Flick looked at Max, some acknowledgement past between them, as though they had talked about something before hand. I hated being out of the loop. I shot Max a look this time and she flinched her head slightly, she would tell me later.
"Well, the blocks were good..." Max said. "On both ends...shame I didn't get to see Fang pinned or the floor" she winked at Sam. "I get it...y'know, it's hard hurting the people you love...though we kick the crap out of each other anyway, just see fun in it..." She used my words. God I love her. Sam nodded a little ashamed. Max looked up in thought, probably realising that this wasn't a good idea after all, that or formulating an evil cunning plan in her head to take over the world. Unlikely, she didn't have an evil bone in her body, trust me I would know. Max and Flick drifted off in conversation, leaving us two.
"What was that back there?" I asked, I would literally beat it out of him if I had too.
"Fang, man...I love your sister, and I can't 'kick the crap out of you' because I know deep down Flick wouldn't want to see that...I'm not sure what I really mean myself but..."
"I get it..." I said, not expecting the reaction I got, I thought I was going to have to drag it out of him.
"Fang, can I ask you something?"
"Go ahead..." I sat down on the grass, too lazy to stand. He joined me.
"Flick, she's a amazing truly, I have known her my whole life, she is everything and without her I wouldn't be who I am today...she's kind, caring, loving, beautiful inside and out and I love her with everything that I have" Max. We looked over at them laughing in the distance.
"I know..." I said. You could tell that they were in love, just by the way they look at each other...and yes I know that sounds corny, but its true.
"Fang, I want to marry her." I reverted back to him, looking at him dead. "Do I have your approval?" Holy crap...no hesitation is required.
"Hell yeah...not that you need it, Man she would be so happy..." And it was true she would. I smile played across his face once more.
"Tell Max for me..." Sam said, "I need you both in on this..."
"Have you got the gems?" I asked, he shook his head, we hadn't had the chance to, to be fair. One day I might have the confidence to ask Max the same.
"I need your help...I need to you to distract them, or at least keep Flick from knowing... Hopefully she won't read our minds or what..."
"Yeah sure man, of course, how you planning to do it?"
"Ask Max? I don't know yet, all I know is that it has to be in a tree..."
"In a tree?"
"Sentimental value..."
"Okay...I'm not sure if Max can help she's not the girly-est on the planet"
"Best I can do is ask..."
"Ask what?" A voice came from behind us, it was Max. Flick was in the distance, but in ear shot now.
"Ask you...your next move..." Sam covered, making a strange face at her, she turned to me and I gave her I-will-tell-you-later look. She moved her yes over to Flick then back to Sam, smiling and nodding ever so slightly. Had she read my mind. She nodded again.
"Wow, watch this..." Flick said, then her face turned vacant.
"Yeah this is really cool" Max added. Sam made a noise, like something had snuck up on him and caught him off guard.
"See, I'm getting better..." Flick said moving form her vacant position.
"I recon, with practice you would be able to control both parts, not just one or the other..." Max said and she truly believed it too, a glint in her eye which not only made her look like she was on to something but gorgeous at the same time.
"Nice..." Sam said taking her into a tight embrace. "Take it easy though..."
"I know, I know Sammy...don't you worry, did you get anywhere?" Did he get anywhere? Yeah so far that he realised he wants to marry you... Max grinned hearing my thoughts.
"Yeah, went back, not for long though, it wasn't like the younger us though for like I was just looking over the scene" Sam spoke.
"So kind of like mine then?"
"Yeah I guess"
"Power stealer..." She said.
"Hey if anything you stole off..." He paused. "Can you travel back and forward on time or is it just present?"
"I never tired forward or back...the way you described it earlier its not the same...I can't seem to absorb anyone's powers at the moment...I think they took it away, I don't know...I can't read minds like Fang...maybe I couldn't all along maybe it was inherited, we are brother and sister after all" Flick shrugged. It did get me thinking, but why would they have tested on her if their was nothing. We all needed to block our thought if we were going to keep this proposal secret. Max nodded slightly, unseen by the other two.
"It's a possibility, maybe they never found anything when they operated?" Max questioned.
"What about the healing though? I used to be able to heal just like Sam..." Flick pointed out, she had a point as well...damn white coats screw the lot of them.
"I'm beat, I might catch a few winks..." Max said diverting the conversation.
"Yeah I'm pretty whacked..." Flick said.
"Fang and I could keep watch, we'll head into the town, find a motel, bring you back food..."
"Sounds excellent..." Max knew that we had to get a ring somehow. She rolled her eyes at me. We all took to the air and flew for a little till we reached the outskirts dropping by then proceeding on foot. It was busy, for a large town, but not with people but with cars. Actually hardly anyone was walking. I clocked a few jewellers along the way and Sam was doing the same. We reached a decent motel just inside the town and got a room. The girls headed up while Sam and I scoped the town. I hate shopping, Max hated shopping, even Sam hated it...actually Flick was the only one who enjoyed it, ironic that we are doing this for her. But I wouldn't have it any other way.
this is what I managed, hope its alright, bit of Dylan and Maya next chap, part two is really storing to get interesting :) anywho review as always :)
