Third POV).

Max walked over to the bookshelf in her bedroom, after Ari and Ella got into the car for school. It was their last day, and they wanted to make it count.

Max pulled one book from the shelf, opening an entrance to an elevator. She walked into the elevator, and hit the button. As it descended, she quickly changed from her public attire into her Cobra attire. Her attire consisted of a blue military uniform, with a black jacket over her shoulders. She had a neck guard, extending inside her jacket. She had black leather boots, and matching gloves with red circles around the wrists of her gloves. Embroiled over the right breast of her uniform, was a blood red Cobra emblem. She had a holster on her left hip, with a loaded pistol in it. On her head, was a blue bullet proof soldier's helmet. On her face.. Was a perfectly reflective mask. She looked like a combination of a madwoman and military genius.

She exited the elevator, and walked into her grandfather's bunker. She met up with the other members of Cobra. First she met with a Russian woman, with short black hair and glasses, dressed in all black clothes, that looked like they were meant for eternal winter. This was the Baroness, head of Cobra intelligence, second in command to Cobra Commander, and the Cobra Industries PR Secretary.

The Baroness bowed to Max. She said, "Your majesty. It is good to see you again."

Max, known more commonly by her codename, Queen Cobra, smiled beneath her mask. She said, the mask making her voice almost as mechanical as the Commander's, "It's good to see you again as well, Baroness. I take it, you're not here on a social visit, however."

The Baroness stood up, "Indeed, I am not. Nikolai, however." She turned around, and motioned forward. A young man came up. The boy had blue-black hair and eyes and olive skin. Despite his Russian heritage, he could easily pass for any other American. He was dressed in a black trench coat, over a black shirt and matching pants. This was the Baroness' nephew, Nikolai 'Fang' Cisarovna. Another part of the experiment, Max was part of... And another proud member of Cobra.

Fang, otherwise known as Baron, said, his Russian accent thick, "I'm glad to see you again, your Majesty." He bowed, "I await your command."

This time, Max chuckled, "Rise, Baron. You are my friend, you've no reason to bow." She walked up to the Commander's control room, seeing the other members of Cobra, and their families.

Behind the Commander's throne, was Firefly. Next to Firefly, was a young man. He had almost red-ish sort of hair, and blue eyes that looked as though he was blind. He was dressed in an outfit similar to Firefly's. This was Firefly's son, James 'Iggy' Griffiths. Known also by his codename, the Gorn.

Iggy saw Max walk up. He said to her, in his thick Texas accent, "Your majesty, how nice to see you once more." He kneeled, and kissed her hand, as you would with real royalty.

Max giggled, "Stop. Get up and resume your post." Iggy was her friend, all of the Flock were, but he was a slight bit annoying. Particularly, when he pulled the whole thing, kissing her hand. She stood beside the Commander, ready to receive orders.

The Commander said, "Your next mission is to keep Cobra's cover. After this meeting you will change out of your Cobra attire, and attend the celebration we are throwing." He turned to the screen, "While four of you are doing that, the other two will be guarding MindBender while he works in his laboratory, in Springfield." He continued, "Changeling and Silence alongside the Baroness and her nephew, will be with you, Max." He brought up his drones, "You four, shall help the Baroness keep up Cobra's public image. While the rest of Cobra does other work. Gorn and his girl shall protect MindBender, while he works. In case someone makes it past our normal guards." He turned to the six younger members of Cobra, "You all have your assignments. Now, go to them."

They all said, "At once, Commander." As the others left, Max sighed.

The Commander asked her, "Tired of making public appearances, when you only desire to sleep?" As his granddaughter nodded, he removed her mask and helmet. He stroked her hair, and hugged her, "Be patient, my little Serpent. Soon, the world will bow to Cobra. You'll have to make more appearances, but you may sleep whenever and wherever you desire." He gave her back her mask, as she put it back on, "Now, after this assignment is done, I want to see you improve your studies. You excel at every subject, with the sole exception of mathematics. Something easy to fix."

Max sighed, "Yes, Sir." She left, and got ready for her assignment.

As Max went off to change into her public attire, the other members of Cobra prepared for their missions.

The younger members of Cobra excelled at everything they needed to. They were always ready for each assignment. As they prepared for this one, the members of Cobra began to flashback to the days they first wound up taking care of their young hybrid relatives.

(A/N: Next few chapters will be flashbacks. By chapter ten, the events of the show shall take place. You may be confused by Max's Cobra attire. Think Cobra Commander from Resolute, and you'll get it. Otherwise.. Well, just keep reading.)
