Sorry for not updating yesterday, I ran out of ideas. :[
Disclaimer: Sorry, I don't own Maximum Ride. (Darn.)
NOTE: I am using a flashback scene, so this is basically in the past. Just to let you know.

FLASHBACK SCENE:
"They look so unhappy," I mumbled to Fang. "It's like us; I bet they just want to be free."
Fang shrugged and looked away. "Maybe it would be better if we got you out of the zoo before you released all the animals." He joked weakly and stuck his hands in his pockets. When he got no response from me, he turned away to look at another animal.
"Now," I mused, tapping my fingers on the railing. "How can I get you free?" I didn't want to make a scene, so I guess I would have to steal the keys from a head zookeeper. If I could find someone, anyway.
"You seem to forget, Maxie, that we are super-human bird kids," Iggy drawled from behind me. "I'll help you release the animals, no matter what Fangles says."
There was a flash of something in his eyes right there, and I recognized it .. why was he showing me that emotion?
"Okay, cool." I said, rubbing my hands together evilly. "So, how exactly are we going to do it? We have to either be able to break the bars or manage to nick the keys off some person."
He rolled up his sleeves. "I can break the bars." He said smugly. "Fang isn't the only one with super-human strength." I grinned. This would be extremely easy.
But there was one problem.
"So, how are we going to get over to the bars?" I asked skeptically, my fingers gripping the railing. "I don't want to make a scene, with all of the stuff about flying kids in the newspapers."
"Okay, I've got an idea. You cause a big distraction, I don't know, set a fire or something and when no one's looking, I'll jump over the railing and break the bars. Probably the lion," Iggy shot a glance behind me. "since it'll send them into waves of panic and we can sneak into the other cages. Got it?" I nodded and moved away from him as Iggy got into position by the lion's cage.
He gave me a nod and I shouted the first thing that came to my mind, "I'm having a baby!"
Oh god, that probably wasn't the best thing to say, but I've already said it.
People surrounded me almost immediately. "Are you okay?" One asked and I was laid on the ground. "Why are you so thin?" Another one asked and I shot them a glare.
"Can't I have a flat baby?" I growled and somehow faked a contraction. A chuckle rose above the crowd, before a large roar interrupted this and I scrambled to my feet.
"Sorry, no baby today," I apologized quickly and bolted before the lion was upon them. I met up with Ig and gave him a high-five.
"Awesome." I muttered. "Let's go get some herbivores now because if we let other animals out, they would probably eat each other."
He had admiration in his eyes when he left, and the only thing he whispered was, "Fang's baby or mine?"
I honestly don't think I was supposed to hear it, but it was cute nevertheless.
