I'm so sorry, but this is going to be a whole lot of crap and boringness! Sorry :(
But uh I have to clear something up: MELEE is 11. KALE is like 14. There won't be KALEE or MALE- sorry that's kinda weird considering the age and all…
Home Pt.2
Gwen's P.O.V.
"Holy…" Fang breathed. I glanced out the opening and saw the terrible sight for myself.
"Mayday! Mayday! Copter 2 down! Repeat! Heli 2 coming to an emergency landing! Crash!" A distressed voice screamed over the radio.
Everyone started shouting and cussing as we watched the machine plummet.
I was frozen. Then a dark streak ripped through the sky.
"FANG!" I called. He wasn't listening. Instead, he was soaring with great speed toward the helicopter.
"Shoot," I grumbled as I copied. It was loosing altitude fast. I landed swiftly behind the blades on the propeller. Fang was already there, trying to fix it.
"We're gonna need a master mechanic to get this done! The blades have come loose!" He shouted. We were both quiet for a second as realization struck. There was no time. Everyone on this thing was gonna die.
"Heads up!" Kale's voice boomed.
"I heard someone needed a mechanic!" Melee dropped down with us.
"How did you get up here so fast?" Fang asked.
"We just…flew?" Kale smiled. He swooped below and suddenly the pace of the dropping helicopter slowed.
"Lets get the blades back on," Melee tried as Fang held them straight. She pulled out a homemade screwdriver.
"Kale? How are you holding up?" I yelled down.
All I got was a grunt. I tucked in my wings and bombed down. I found him below. He was red and sweating.
"Can't hold it much longer," he groaned. He had his back arched and the machine was resting on his shoulders.
"Oh..." This was not good, "Fang! Melee! Hurry up! Kale can't hold up much longer!"
"This isn't working!" Fang barked. The people inside were crying out in panic and fright.
I thought hard for a minuet.
"Ok! We're gonna get these people out!" I ordered as I left Kale and tried to get in to the inside. The people were screaming and clinging to the walls. There was five of them. Five panicky CSM workers. Now is the time when global warming doesn't mean squat.
I grabbed an old bald man and literally pried him from his seat and drug him to the exit and I tried to fly, but he weighed about 250 pounds. Yah, this wasn't working.
"Need some help?" I felt Ryan slip in behind me.
"Decide to join the party?" I chuckled.
"I'm going to die! Oh good gracious!" The fat bald man yammered.
"Calm down!" Ryan soothed as we both jumped out of the chopper. The wind whipped through our hair and whistled the same old tune.
"Open your wings! You are bird kids, right?!" The man wailed. I only rolled my eyes and we snapped out our wings last minuet. The man landed in a roll as we soared back up. I waved at Kale as we flew up, passing him.
"Alright, how about…" I looked around.
"Ahhhhh!" A shrill scream echoed as a woman in he fifties crashed into us.
"You got her, I've got him!" I screamed as I grabbed hold of a young brown haired nerd. We repeated the same landing. We shot back up and Kale looked terrible.
"I don't think…" he said.
"Only two more!" I interrupted. We then proceeded in grabbing a silver haired man who was rather tall and somewhat heavy. As we came up for the last sweep I noticed that the helicopter was dropping and that Kale was no where in sight. The chopper was going down.
It soon passed us on its way down and I saw a hand shoot up. Then a pleading face.
"No!" I yelled, but it was far gone. I tucked my wings flat and dove. I was getting close, close enough to hear the woman scream.
"JUMP!" I cried. The woman looked at me warily.
"Jump!" I came again. We were nearing the pancake zone. She pushed herself up and her foot caught a surface. She kicked free and leapt up. My hand reached down and it barely grazed her finger. She was dropping. Her tight lawyer looking skirt flailing as one of her heels fell of her foot. I reached again, but it was no use. She was going to die, and I would too if I didn't catch myself. I spread my wings and parachute up. I saw the pain and fear in her eyes as she realized that she was as good as dead. And I closed my eyes and turned away. But I didn't hear the sickening splat, nope. I glanced back and there was Dylan hovering with the frantic woman barely hanging on. He sat her down and shot me a thumbs up. A wave of relief washed over me, but we weren't done yet. The helicopter was still plummeting, with Melee clung onto the propeller.
"Let go!" Fang commanded as he followed cautiously behind.
"Never!" Melee sang as she swung inside the cockpit and grabbed hold of the controls.
"Get out of there!" Fang growled.
"I think I fixed it!" She yelped.
"I said get your scrawny butt out! NOW!" Fang was mad.
"Here goes nothing!" She smiled and then the blades began to spin and the wind was whipped around. Fang dodged a oncoming blade.
"It works!" I squealed.
"She doesn't know how to fly a helicopter!" Fang barked.
"Crap…" I sighed. Life just wouldn't give me a break.
"Wha's goin' on?" Kale popped up behind me, rubbing his arms.
"Melee fixed the helicopter," I started. Then the machine took a dramatic dive and Kale's eyes widened in fear.
"What is she doing?!" He screamed. She was crashing it into a lake!
"MEL! CRENSHAW!" Kale called, fear seeping in as the tip of the head of the helicopter splashed in the blue water below. Soon the whole metal monster was sunk and Kale was wading into the lake, searching for his friend. I copied and Fang stood back, watching.
"That. Was. AWESOME!" I heard her usual soft, brief voice cheer. My head whipped up and there she was, her wings flapping and her fist pumping.
"Crenshaw!" Kale cried as he shot up and wrapped her in a hug. She then turned back to her old 'cold as stone' expression and stiffened.
"Get off," she said quietly.
"When I tell you to get out…then GET OUT!" Fang stomped up and jerked them to the ground. He towered above us and Kale squeaked and hid behind me. Melee shoved her hands in her pockets and stared into Fang's eyes, completely unfazed.
"Yes," she said. He looked confused.
"That doesn't even…" he grumbled.
"What in the name of all things winged and good is going on here?!" Max's voice boomed. Now it was time for us all to cower. The rest of the group came in a bunch and they were all piled with questions.
"Sweet! Kale you were all like The Hulk!" Jes exclaimed as he rushed forward and hugged Kale. Kale sat down and yawned.
"Melee! You really are a mechanic!" Gazzy grinned. Melee shrugged.
"What is wrong with you all?! You don't just…" Max rambled.
"Yes," I interrupted, "yes we do."
"That was very brave," one of the men we saved said as he walked up. His group followed.
"Thank you all so much! I thought I was as good as dead!" The woman Dylan caught squeaked as she fixed the bobby pins in her hair.
"You were," Ryan laughed. The woman didn't find that funny.
Then a cellphone buzzed and the fat man flipped it open and answered with, "Dr. Hawlur, Collation to Stop the Madness."
Then it was silent for a moment while Dr. Hawlur nodded and mumbled. He finally hung up and announced that the other three helicopters were landing to pick them up and that we must make haste and get to the bus to scavenge out a clear landing zone.
"Alright! Lets go!" Max called as everyone turned to follow to the big yellow bus.
I glanced back for a second to make sure everyone was following, but Kale was sprawled out on the ground and Melee was standing over him nudging him with her foot. He didn't wake.
"Kale! Rock 'n Roll!" I shouted. He didn't budge, so I stomped over there to find him in deep sleep with a sheet of cold sweat over his skin.
"Holding up the chopper must've taken a lot out of him," I sighed as I bent down and tried to pull him up.
"Fatso," Melee stated.
"Amen," I chuckled as I tried once more. Nope.
"Kale honey! Get your hind end up!" I poked his chest. He fidgeted and his eyes opened to a slit.
"Hmm?" He asked.
"On your feet!" I laughed as I grabbed the front of his shirt and jerked him up.
"Im sleeping…" he groaned.
"Not anymore," Melee observed.
"Kale, help me here," I grumbled as I tried to hold him straight.
"I'm gonna be sick," he moaned.
"Oh no you don't!" Melee cried as he hunched over and coughed and tossed his cookies.
"Kale? Are you ok?" I asked a little more sympathetically.
"Nah…no," he whispered.
"Maybe Alex can help," I tried as I balanced him and helped him back to the bus.
"Gwen! What took you so long?!" Ryan screamed out the window.
"Kale," I answered simply.
"Whoa! He looks like crap!" Ice breathed.
Dylan came running and he had to almost literally carry Kale onto the bus.
"Kale? Are you ok?" Jes asked as he tried to climb over the seat to Kale.
"No, baby, Kale is really sick," I said as I pushed him back.
"What's wrong Kale?" Jes asked with a pout. Kale only coughed and his hands started shaking.
"Jes, back off a little," Flair smiled as she got up and brought him back with her. He was wedged in between Ice and Flair, and Ice immediately shot him the 'shut-up-twerp' look.
"What happened?" Alex questioned as she moved closer.
"He held up the helicopter," I shrugged. She put her finger to his forehead and closed her eyes.
"I don't know…what's wrong with him…" she whispered.
"What do you mean?! Can you help him?!" I started to freak.
"Idk! I just got this power!" She ran a hand through her hair.
"I just wanna sleep!" Kale whined.
"No, you gotta stay awake!" Ebony snapped.
"Gwen!" Kale yawned.
"So, is he like for real sick or just tired? Is he going to be ok?" Ella whispered.
"Im fine!" Kale assured.
"No you're not!" I hissed.
"Relax, he probably just overused his power," Ryan sighed.
"Yah, that's it!" Jace said uneasily.
"Does he have a expiration date?" Angel asked as she chewed on her nails. I grabbed Kale by the hair of the head and slammed his face into the front of his seat, making him utter an "OW!" and I checked for the black ink.
"He's clear!" I sighed, relieved.
"I think I know what's wrong with your friend," the tall man said as he came forward from he back of the bus. All eyes shot to him.
"Ah, I see. I'm a former…how you say…whitecoat," the man bowed a bit.
"What the f-reak?!" Ice shot to his feet.
"I assure you that I am completely..." The man began.
"Shut the he** up! I want to know what this man is doing on our bus!" Ice screamed.
"Ice!" Flair warned as he climbed to the aisle.
"We are in motion! Sit!" Dr. M barked.
"He's good!" Angel announced, but Ice glared at the stranger menacingly, but Storm yanked him down and out of the way.
"Thank you, sweetie. As I was saying I know exactly why he is 'sick'."
"Don't keep us waiting!" I hurried.
"It's happened before, to one of my former test subjects. His power continued to grow the more he strained it. Your friend here has done just that and his muscle cells are mutating to keep up with his mind," the man pointed out. Kale shifted and closed his eyes.
"Well, they won't have to work very fast then…" Ryan mumbled.
"What happened to this experiment?" I questioned.
"He died," the man said bluntly. Kale's eyes flashed open as he bolted to his feet.
"What?!" We both cried at the same time.
"The child killed himself after his power grew at an uncontrollable rate. He couldn't touch anything without killing it, including a female experiment he had feelings for. The boy ended it," Than man looked pained as he stared at the ground.
"No…!" Kale screeched. He started to hyperventilate and his hands balled into fists.
"Kale!" I tried to calm him, but he was really upset. My poor Kale was scared.
"Kale, shh. You're not gonna hurt us. You aren't going to hurt me," I whispered as I slipped past Alex into the seat and I cupped his face in my hands.
"But…" he started.
"Kale! You're going to be fine!" I hissed. Everyone held their breath and watched in fear, except Dr. M who was completely oblivious as she tried to maneuver the bus around sharp curves and turns. He let out a breath and slumped against the seat.
"Sir? Do you know how much the boy lifted to make his strength unbearable?" Nudge asked.
"No, sadly…no," the man frowned as a tear slipped from his eyes.
"It just always has to he me!" Kale grumbled as he leaned his head on my shoulder.
"How long?" I noticed Kale's agony.
"Half an hour or so," the man mumbled. Kale groaned.
"Can I get an aspirin?!" He chuckled. Jes now broke free of Flair's iron hold and flew into the seat and wiggled in between me and Kale.
"Kale?" Jes whimpered.
"Jester," Kale grinned. It was fake, but way to keep it up.
"Now that you're strong…stronger…does it mean that you can carry me around?!" Jes smiled.
Everyone gave a phony giggle and we all went back to our seats, leaving Kale slumped over sleeping the pain away and Melee watching with curiosity. Jes, however sat by Kale and patted his head every once in a while whispering about how it was gonna be ok. The strange humans sat in the back…reflecting on how they almost died. Ice and Flair were arguing over something. Jace and Alex were whispering about cutting Jace's hair. That sounded impossible all considering. Storm and Ebony were just twiddling their thumbs. Nudge and Angel were talking about 'what went with what'. Iggy and Gazzy were being pyromaniacs. Ella was twirling her hair—consistently. Dr. M was humming and hitting the gas and every once in a while she'd yell at Nudge for making her have a headache. Ryan was holding my hand. Max and Fang were having the 'Did we start a family to soon?' talk. Dylan was mumbling "yes". I was worried.
How much further could we go up this mountain?! What if another helicopter crashed?! What the heck happened to the last one?!
And the main question pounding in my head: am I falling for Kale?
Yah I know it sucks
