Chapter 36
IGGY
There are several things that I love in life:
1. Flying
2. Bombs
3. Building bombs
4. Blowing things up in general
5. Explosions of any sort
6. The flock
7. Cooking
8. Eating
9. Nudges chattiness
10. Finding new ways to stop Nudges chattiness
There aren't many things that I hate but I have a few:
1. Flying in the rain
2. Max taking my bombs away
3. Burning food
4. Starving
5. When Nudge doesn't talk
And one of those things was happening.
The rain poured down on us, showering our feathers and weighing us down.
"We need a plan." I heard Fang say.
"No dip Sherlock." Max muttered. "But you're right. We do need a plan."
And I had one.
"And I think I might just have one." I called to them from my second in command position. "But it starts with us getting out of this freaking storm. Bird-kids and lightening do not go well together."
Now we were angling towards the ground. Nudge took my hand to guide me in the right direction as she rambled on.
"So Iggy what's you plan about? I hope it involves being all secretive and hiding out. I love doing that! I feel like a secret agent. You know, one of those people who wears all black with the sunglasses and the clicky things and the high tech gadgets. Sometimes I imagine what we'd all be like as secret agents. Max, Fang and you would probably be… like… field Agents and do all the fighting. Angel would be the genius who plans all of our missions. Gazzy would be the pyrotechnic and you'd also blow everything up with him. I'd hack all the computers and get us all of our info." She took a big breath; I could hear the air whistle into her lungs. "We could go all around the world. But we've already sort of done that. Woah! Iggy, there's an amazing waterfall down there! It's not very big, maybe a few feet high, but the water is falling in every direction, it's like a fountain but it's all mossy and gorgeous. Just gorgeous…" She trailed off in awe.
"I wish I could see it." I sighed truthfully in a non-whiney way.
"That's what I'm hear for! To help you see!" I heard the smile in her voice.
I grinned.
"Oh! We're landing Iggy!" She said.
I slowed my wings down and felt my feet touch the ground.
"C'mon!" Nudge tugged on my arm. "Let's get out of the rain! It's freezing!"
I laughed and sat down with her, wrapping my arms around her shoulders for a few seconds and warming her up.
"Thanks Iggy." She mumbled.
"My pleasure." I smiled.
"So Iggy." I heard Max say from in front of me. The rustle of fabric told me she was probably crossing her arms.
"I say we spread out, divide ourselves into groups of two and position ourselves around the outskirts of the ralley, that way we can get a view of every angle. If things get messy we come up with a meeting place and all that jazz." I said simply. "Divide—"
"And concur." Max finished. "I like it Ig. Let's give it a go."
"Sweet!" I slapped a high-five with Gazzy. "I was thinking that we wouldn't attack or anything though. Just listen to there insane antics and only interfere if needed."
"Sounds like a plan." Fang said.
We shook the water out of our wings.
"Wait? Who's going with who? What are the teams?" I heard Maya ask.
"I didn't really think of that…" I said, mentally face-palming.
"We'll figure it out as we go." Max said as a thunderclap echoed across the sky.
"But we are not going back out until that storm is over." Nudge cried. "Right?"
There were murmured agreements.
A certain sound caught my ears. A beat of wings in the distance.
"Fine, we'll just sit tight for like an hour until the rain let's up." Max sighed as we all gathered wood for a fire and continued planning our stakeout.
Hey!
I got this chapter done quicker than anticipated so I decided to make you all happy and update again. The next chapter probably won't be up until the weekend.
It was Iggy's POV! It was kinda fun to write... haha. Sorry this one was so short,there wasn't much to put into it so...
