Sorry, I know it's very short, but I had some writer's block and a TON of schoolwork I had to do.

Thanks to Flight at Midnight, 5253Racer, and alva for reviewing.

After my dream, I knew I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep, but I still tried. The storm continued to rage around me. After a while, it finally began to slack off, so I pulled out a few more power bars. By the time I had finished, the storm was over, so I jumped into the air.

I kept my mind off of my dream or anything that would remind me of them. Which, unfortunately, was pretty much everything. Especially flying. It always reminded me of the joy on Angel's face. The happiness of Nudge as she talked non-stop. The peacefulness of Iggy, free from worry of hitting something and not disabled at all by his blindness. The thrill Gazzy felt as he performed aerial stunts. And the contentment of Fang, just enjoying the freedom of it.

I was flying over the mountains now, looking for a hidden building. Several buildings dotted the mountainside, but most of them were houses. I was looking for something that looked more like a military base or something. Hidden as much as possible, flat, windowless cinderblock walls, flat roof. I flew low enough that I could distinguish what the buildings were but high enough that I would be mistaken for a bird if anyone saw me.

It was starting to get dark and I was starting to look for a place to sleep for the night, when I found it. You could hardly see it from the air and you could see even less of it from the ground. The building was on an extremely high cliff on two sides with dense forests on the other borders, making it hard to get to, at least for a human. For an Avian-American it would be a piece of cake. The building was only a story above ground, so I knew there were at least 2 stories below. The walls were a dull, military grey. No windows and no skylights.

I landed in a tree close to the facility, but out of sight to any Whitecoats or Erasers or Flyboys. I waited to find out how tight this place's security was. I waited, motionless, watching for someone to enter or leave.

Eventually, I heard the rumbling then saw a Jeep roll up on a nearly invisible track to park. Three Whitecoats climbed out of the car, talking animatedly. They walked up to the door closest to me and one swiped a card hanging from around his neck and entered a code. Wonderful. That meant I would have to wait until morning at least to find out what that code was, and I would have to steal an ID card thing. Oh, well. That shouldn't be too hard. Itex needs to get some better security. Not that I'm complaining.

I leapt into the air to go find a comfortable place to attempt to sleep. Well, actually, I wasn't even going to try to sleep. I was going to do what I did every time I was about to go destroy a School.

I thought of them.

Please review. PLEASE. I'll try to get another chapter out soon. I can't promise, but I WILL promise that it'll be longer.
