"Don't" I managed to croak out but then my vision went black.

I woke up on a sofa.
"Where am I?"
"Max! You're awake!" Fang said and I smiled.
I managed to sit up. "What happened?"
I turned to see , my mother, standing at the door.
"Max, how far did you fly yesterday"
I blushed and thought back over the last few days. "I was in Paris two days ago, and then yesterday I found Jeb. And then I found the Flock."
"How long did it take you to get from where Jeb was to finding the Flock?"
"About an hour?"
"Six hundred miles an hour! You were probably just so tired..."
I stood up shakily. "I'm still blue..."
"Yeah I know Max" Fang said.
"Where are we?"
"Don't worry Max, we didn't go to Jeb. We're at your Mom's house."
I stared at my hands.
"How do I know that I'm not going to turn evil. I don't even know who I am anymore..."
Fang pulled me outside and jumped into the air, pulling me after him.
"You're Maximum Ride"
I sat down in a tree and grinned. By now it was night time. We stared up at the stars.
"I could go up there..." I whispered.
Fang turned to me and said "Go on then"
He ran inside and found an oxygen canister.
"But -" I said.
"Just go on Max"
Sighing, we flew higher and higher.
"You think it's safe?" I asked Fang.
"Nothing's safe!"
At fourty thousand feet we stopped. Fang was absolutely breathless and I was starting to get tired.
"I'll be right back"
Gulping, I flew higher and higher.
Eventually I reached the edge of the atmosphere, closing my eyes I surged through. I kept my eyes closed and kept flying. I could barely breathe, and I didn't know how I wasn't being obliterated or something...
I heard the sound of machinery buzzing and opened my eyes. I was on the surface of Mars!
