I own nothing
"Iggy!" The Gasman patted his friend gently on the cheek, trying not to think too much about where they were. He needed to get Iggy awake, he needed Iggy to help him.
Finally, Iggy moved his hand enough to grip the set of iron bars, not even bothering to open his useless eyes. "Woah, serious de já vu." He mumbled. The Gasman nodded his agreement.
They were together in a large cage, just like they always had been when they were little. Only this time, Max wasn't next to them, and Gassy's sister was no where in sight.
The Gasman took in a great shuddering breath, and Iggy put a hand on his shoulder, "We'll be okay. We have Max looking for us!" The Gasman nodded, remembered that Iggy couldn't see him, and burst into tears.
"Hey, hey." Iggy brought Gazzy closer to him, surprised and a little scared at the younger boy breaking down. He had always been a so tough. "We'll get out of this. I'll think of a plan."
The Gasman buried himself deeper in Iggy's worn T-shirt and mumbled something. "What'd you say?" Iggy asked. The Gasman took another breath.
Gazzy extracted himself from Iggy's shirt. "I said, 'How are you gonna get us out of here, with your busted eyes and my busted wing."
Iggy tensed, immediately offended when Gassy mentioned his eyes, but then said, "Your wing's busted?" Gazzy nodded. "Turn around." Iggy muttered. Gassy did as he was told.
"Not too bad. I think you just clipped it." Iggy ran his hands over the Gasman's wings. "Must hurt like hell."
Gazzy nodded, sniffling. "Come here." Iggy held out his hands to the Gasman, as much for his comfort as for the younger boy's. He hated the school. He hated the fact that he never knew where he was when he was in it. He hated the fact that the whitecoats could control them so easily.
"We need to get some backup." Fang said evenly, and his calm voice ripped through Max's overworking brain. She nodded and let him take the lead; he obviously knew where he was going.
Max turned to Angel, who was crying silently. "We'll find them, don't worry honey." She said. She really wished she would keep this promise.
"Okay Fang, I give up, where are we going?" she called to her friend. He pointed up ahead. That cave looked familiar…
She smiled at Fang. She knew that he loved those hawks.
