So this is from Fang, I moved out of Max because even though there is a lot more voice action that I have written about I just couldn't find away to write about it without making it to redundant and boring. I wanted the story to get a move on and I still have to get through Fang and Angel. Also this is sort of an omniscient point of view. Oh and its confusing. But essentially theres a group of people monitoring the Flock and comenting on whats going on...so good luck understanding it!

Fang will be the first to die.

"That's a little harsh on the kids don't you think?" Jason asked as he watched the message flash from the machine to Angel's brain.

"That's why we sent it to Angel rather than Max. Gunther-Hagen is paying good money for us to do this, but we don't want Max to die from a heart attack."

"He really wants Fang out of the picture?"

"Yes."

"I'm confused, why not just have Dylan breed with Hunter, I mean she's older than Max and did have a romantic interest in him anyway."

"Hunter can not be forced to do anything she does not want to do unless we use the eight against her. We only have seven. But the main thing is, when Dr. Hans managed to capture her awhile ago they did a few tests and they are almost positive she cannot reproduce, a design flaw for certain…but, oh well."

"Right, right….but killing off Fang? How does that accomplish our goals?"

"Look Jason, there's only one person that actually knows what's going on and that's Master B. There are many groups of people each assigned random missions that will somehow, make his plan work out. I only know that this machine is in charge of transmitting and receiving messages from various mutants and people. We have to monitor the world and make sure the seven stay alive, healthy and do not escape. Now stop asking stupid questions and monitor their conversation."

Jason muttered something along the lines of "yes sir" and their attention turned back to the screen.

"And, actually—I hate to tell you this, but Fang will be the first to die. And it will be soon." Angel said placidly.

"She's not a very tactful bugger is she?" Jason muttered to the Captain.

"No." The captain grunted. He was considering firing the talkative machine reader.

"What exactly do you mean by that?" Max choked out

Angel continued to act as if she knew everything. She told Max off and made a few mild jabs to Max and Fang's recent romantic entanglement. Then Max got really pissed and her temper got a tad out of control.

"Alright, get ready…send in Patrick…its time to meet Subject twenty-two…and go."

"Is everything okay?" Patrick's concerned voice filled in through the microphone that was hidden inside his mouth.

"Send in the doc and 22" the captain said flicking his finger.

"Hello" Patrick addressed the doc and 22.

"Hello and good evening." The doctor replied

"Can I help you?" asked Patrick

"He's a superb actor" Jason muttered. The captain glared at him.

"Ah yes, I am Dr. Hans Gunther-Hagen. One of my companies is doing research here—I donated the supply of vaccines your group is using."

Patrick proceeded to thank the doctor profusely and Roger explained the situation to Max.

"I heard that you have the bird children here," The doctor mentioned causally.

"Oh?" Patrick said coolly…managing to look like he was plussed, but acting nonplussed.

"Yes" the doctor said keeping his tone cheery and curious. "They've gotten such tremendous publicity. I was hoping to ask the leader of the bird children to come to breakfast with me tomorrow morning in my tent."

A few seconds later Max rose.

"That would be me."

"Sure." Angel said simultaneously.

"That little rat." Jason commented in surprise. The captain glared at him. Based on the mind readings the machine was giving them, Jason as not the only one thinking that.

"Ah, fine," Said the dc and he rubbed his hands together in excitement. "Splendid! Both of you come, then. But first, I'd like to introduce my…protégé. This is Dylan." He gestured, and subject 22 stepped forward.

"This is it." Jason chuckled with excitement.

"Jason…when I glare at you, it means shut up." The captain snapped and gave Jason another death glare.

The reaction from Max was perfect. She admired Dylan's features and then felt guilty for thinking he was so beautiful and reminded herself about how sexy Fang is. Her brain shorted out for a second and when she greeted him, her voice was raspy, which annoyed her even more.

"I was particularly hoping you could meet Dylan" the doctor said and looked straight at Max. "He's been putting up with my company, and I'm sure he would benefit from meeting young people like himself."

Max made an inward mental "yeah right"

"Show them, Dylan" said the doctor.

Dylan looked self conscious but slowly took off his jacket. He was muscular and broad shouldered.

Then, Dylan extended his wings.
