Chapter Five:

A/N: Shocker, right? Even I was shocked, and I wrote it. My fingers have a mind of their own, I swear.

Recap: I told him that you loved him. WHAT?

Angel, no! Tell me you didn't! I begged her inside my head, and I felt my face grow hot. Not here, Angel, not now! All I need is Fang knowing that I love him. Oops, sorry Max. Angel's voice was apologetic, and I growled out loud. Fang glanced at me, his face folded into a triumphant smirk. Please get us out of here. It's the least you could do. I pleaded to Angel and I saw her smirk in my head. Yes ma'am. Thank god, I thought back, and our connection ended. Now I just needed to face Fang.

"Fang…" I started smooth, and he ruined it. His face peeled back into a large smile. I've never seen him grin that big before, now that I think about it.

"You love me this much." He held out his hands as wide as he possibly could, and laughed, his whole body shaking under him. I sighed

"In case you haven't noticed, we're in the freaking School right now and there's a freaking white coat in the other room and you're telling me that I love you?" I growled under my teeth.

"You're right, but this conversation is not over," he said in a more serious tone. I wondered what he meant by that. What more jokes did he have up his sleeve? I could only hope they were cut short to a minimal embarrassment level. Please nothing involving Iggy, please nothing involving Iggy, please! He interrupted my pleading with a whack at the door. "It's not going to open." He stated cleanly. His smile disappeared and was painted over with seriousness and worry. His black eyes crinkled with frustration as he tried to unlock the door. Max, I see the School. Where are you? Angel interrupted me staring at Fang. I shook my head, glancing around, only to find that there was nothing to see. About a dozen wings of this building must look like this.

I don't know, honey, there isn't any windows. It's a rectangular room, but I can't tell where it is. Fang sat down against the wall.

"Well this sucks," he muttered in a low tone. I nodded in agreement. Okay. There's only one part where you could be. Iggy is asking me about a plan…? He says he wants to tell you something. He wants to know if its okay to send it through me, I guess. Angel said through her head. Iggy wanted to know about the plan…he wanted to do it? He wanted to…follow through?

Tell him to send it through you. I crunched my face together, almost instantly regretting what I said, but Angel was gone, invading Iggy's head now. I sighed, and walked over towards the door to peek. The white coated girl was still lying on the ground, but I couldn't tell if she was awake or not. I ducked behind the wall once more and sank to the ground beside Fang.

"We'll get out of here," he said, looking into my eyes. "I promise." I nodded whishing with all my heart that I could just wake up from this bad dream and be safe in my warm bed. He told me that he finished the 'mother load'. He says all the other parts are attached, except this one. As soon as we get out he was to use it. I stared at the white wall across from me, thinking through. Were we really ready to destroy this once and for all? Would it work, or am I starting to believe Fang? Maybe it wasn't supposed to be me. Tell him yes. There was a noise outside. I instantly jumped up, Fang right next to me. Our heads snapped to the door as it opened with ease.

Angel was flying high over the ground, searching for anywhere that might look like the horrible School she remembers. She remembered being there alone and the horrible things she did to them. She shuddered in mid air and watched as Iggy stared straight ahead, although he couldn't see anything. Sometimes Angel felt bad for Iggy, but she knew, looking inside his head, that he was sorry for himself most of all. She knew things the rest of the Flock didn't. Her white powdery wings flapped against the cold air. Then she spotted the school.

Nudge was flying in the back, and she could see the backs of everyone in her Flock, except Max and Fang. She missed Max already. She could just see her smiling face in her brain and wished she was flying next to her. Her eyes were watering when she thought of what it would be without them. No, she told herself, Max and Fang are not going to die. We're going to make sure of that. She looked at Iggy. She missed talking to him, and being his friend. Now he barely looked at her. He looks at you when you're not looking. For once, Angel had made Nudge happy for invading her mind. She grinned through her watery eyes. Thanks, Angel. Where's Max? Can you hear her? Nudge flew faster, and stopped next to Gazzy. He was looking a little on the green side. His hair was messed up from the wind, and his wings flapped with a rhythm that was the opposite of Nudge. He grinned at her feebly, and then turned away. Yes, I can hear Max and Fang. They're at the School. One of the Schools. I can hear White Coats too. They want to kill them, but they don't know about us. We're going to get there before they try. Max says they're in a rectangular room. Nudge looked down and spotted a triangular platform. Is that the School? She asked Angel, feeling quite stupid she was asking a seven year old all her questions. Yes. Nudge took a deep breath, and dived down. We're coming Max, she thought back to Angel, and she felt the pressure of Angel's presence disappear. Iggy, Nudge, Angel and Gazzy dove down vertically towards the building Angel realized was the School. It was gray and flat. There was only one level, but the building was huge. There was part of it that stuck out, like a rectangle. That must be where Max is, Gazzy thought. They pulled up from the dive ten feet from the ceiling, surprised no Flyboys or mutants have popped out of no where and attacked them. Angel landed on the ceiling and started running towards the rectangular room. We're coming Fang, we're on the ceiling, she sent to Fang as she looked for a way in. Then she noticed there was a metal bar on the ground. A little bit a way, there was a pile of metal bars. Angel grinned.

The door opened a crack, and then heard whispers from the other side. They sounded like four bird kids. I grinned, waiting for them to make their appearance. The door swung open and Angel was standing there, Iggy, Nudge, and the Gasman gathered behind her. I ran towards them and hugged them all.

"Let's split," Fang said, walking towards the door with speed. We all whipped around when Iggy did. When Iggy looks somewhere, you look because it's probably something bad. The brunette white coat was standing, her hair messed up and blood staining her…well… white coat. She was holding a tranquilizer needle in her left hand. I felt Fang stiffen behind me, and my hands formed fist, yet again. This just keeps getting better and better.

"Plan B, Flock," I whispered, and they all nodded, looking in the white coat's direction.

"Not so fast. One second with this in your skin and you'll drop dead." She growled, holding the needle ready. "Who's first?" she asked, looking from one face to the other. Nudge….to be continued next chapter.
