Disclaimer: Now, anyone who thinks I own Maximum Ride, raise their hand. No, no, you can put them down. I don't own Maximum Ride. Probably no one would like it if I owned it because it wouldn't be as genius as it is now. Sorry to disappoint.

A/N: I finished reading the third book of Maximum Ride! Whoopee! It was great. And while I was reading it, I got a revelation. I figured out how to end this fan fir! Further more, I actually finished it that day! Wow. I'm excited. I hope you guys like the ending. However…there is some bad news… I will not be able to post all of them before my two week vacation. Sorry… My beta will be gone while I'm still here, so she won't be able to edit my chapters. Sorry again. Anyways, thanks to my beta: NarnianSprite. She is wonderful. One last thing, keep clicking on the main site! Even if you already have, we're almost to five million! Keep it up! Well, enjoy!

After a long discussion, Max and the others all looked at Arthur. Fang knew what had gone on. He recalled exactly what was spoken in his head, replaying it like a film:

Mixed emotions from the group ran high as they all sat down at the table in Anne's house.

"Guys, we have a problem here," Max began.

"A problem?" Gazzy asked.

"Yeah," Max confirmed. "A big problem. I don't know if we can trust this guy. Fang, you've been with him the last few days, what's he like?"

Fang thought for a moment. "Pretty nice, very curious, honest, caring, animal lover. What can I say? The kid's almost perfect."

"Almost?" Max questioned.

"Yeah, one day I was on the computer with my wings out and, well, he came in. He was practically gaping. Then he told me all about his experiences at the School." Fang's dark eyes were worried, Max could tell. "He's a pretty honest kid."

"Well, are we bringin' him on the team?" Iggy asked.

"Are you guys in favor?" Max asked.

Angel nodded, followed by a somewhat reluctant Gazzy. Nudge came after that.

"Iggy?" Max noticed him thinking.

"He should prove himself." Iggy's blind eyes were set intently on the table. "But if we're just going to give him the benefit of a doubt, heck, sure." There was a small silence "Unless he turns out to be a spy. Then he's out."

"Fair enough," Max had said and the decision was made.

Another addition to the team. It seemed weird, out of the ordinary. Fang wasn't sure what to think. Could they trust him? That was a tough question to answer. Only the kids would fully trust him.

Fang snapped back as Max answered Arthur's question. "Yes. For now. But if you turn out to be a spy or screw up, you're out. And once you're out, there's no getting back in."

Arthur smiled. "Great. Thanks guys."

Iggy gazed through him intently. "Now you need a code name."

"I already have one," the winged kid answered. "It's Cherubim."

Nudge looked confused. "Cherubim? What kind of code name is that?"

"It's from the Bible," he informed her. Then he grinned. "Besides, what kind of a code name is Nudge?" Then the two burst out laughing.

"Don't get too comfortable here," Max told him quietly. "We might be leaving soon."

"Right." He nodded but then looked troubled. "There's something I need to do first."

A/N: I'll give an invisible cookie to anyone who can guess correctly what he's going to do. Yeah, it's probably easy. Oh well, still guess! If you have read my author notes say… "broomstick" in your review.
