Disclaimer: I do not own Maximum Ride. For gosh sakes I wish I did, but I do not. Sorry dears.

A/N: Hello again everyone! So sorry for small lack of updates. I've been busy. I have drama camp next week, but I'll try to update at least once if I can. The week after that I will be free so I'll try to update once or twice then. The two weeks after that however, I will be on hiatus. Sorry loves. I will try to get some work done on it while I am away, so don't worry about that. Who has seen the NEW Max Ride trailer? I like that one a lot better. Indeed I do. By the way, click more for the movie! We're almost there!!!! Thanks to me lovely beta NarnianSprite. She is wonderful indeed. Do drop by and read her stories, she is amazing. Well, heres the next chapter. Enjoy and review loves!

Okay, so maybe it was just Max, but she wasn't sure about this whole new bird kid thing. Yes, he was a bird kid and, yes, he had wings, but that didn't mean he wasn't a spy.

"I know I showed up kind of unexpectedly, but I had to find you guys," Arthur tried to explain.

"Why's that?" Nudge asked.

"I think Jeb is tracking you guys. He has information on his computer about all of you, and me."

"Uh, no, duh, we already kind of knew that," Iggy scowled.

Just then, a car pulled into the drive way.

"Anne's home!" Angel exclaimed. Anne was a CIA worker and she had taken them in, knowing full well who they were and that they had wings. Still, Max didn't fully trust her. Sure, it was nice having a beautiful home to live in, but something wasn't right.

Whoopie. More drama, Max thought. She would have to talk to the bird kids about all this. It was pretty overwhelming.

Anne got out of her car, wearing a woman's business suit. She took off her sunglasses. "Who's this?" she asked, oblivious.

"Uh. Hi. I'm Arthur," Cherubim smiled.

"Oh, well, hi there." She studied him. "You're not from school are you?"

"No, not the school you're thinking of."

She stared at him "So you're…one of them?" she asked in a hushed voice. He nodded.

"Well, I could house you for a while," she offered.

Arthur looked at each of the mutants. "As long as it's okay with them."

Max looked at Fang. He gave me an apprehensive look. "You can stay. As for joining the Flock, we'll have to talk about that."

Arthur nodded and said, "Thanks."

Walking into the house, Arthur caught up with Max. "Sorry. I really don't want to be intruding…" He said sincerely.

Max stared for a minute and said "No problem." She didn't want to trust him quite yet.

Up in front of the group Anne was talking excitedly. "We'll enroll you in school and you can have the top bunk in Fang's room. I'll go and get it ready." She rushed up the stairs and disappeared.

"Is she always like that?" Arthur asked.

"Yes," The whole Flock answered back in annoyed tones.

A/N: haha. I like that ending, although the ending of my last chapter was much better. I think I like that one best. Anyways, say "Code Lyoko" in your review if you have read my author notes. I love that show. See ya next chapter! waves
