Hi everyone! I am back! And annoyed! You all better run! Really Fast! Would anyone like to know why I am very annoyed? It's because I found that a whole bunch of people have been reading my wonderful story without REVIEWING AT ALL! This is extremely annoying. From now on, if you read my story, you MUST review it. I don't care if you say it's the stupidest story in the entire world, as long as you review!! I will be paying closer attention to my reviews than ever, and if you don't review, I will curse your pants, all numbers from 4-22 inclusive, and the colour green, especially lime green. By the way, a big thank-you to SanraitaFang, who taught me this marvellous way to tell if people aren't reviewing! On with the story!

Angel POV

As we flew back home, Max flew up to me. "Do you think we should trust Madysen and her colony?" she asked me, "Could you at least check if they have good intentions?"

I nodded, and listened to the thoughts of the three girls.

I can't believe I am actually free. This is amazing. I hope the other experiments got out okay.

That was Madysen.

Should I trust them? They seem nice enough. They can't be bad if they rescued us from that place with all the labmen.

That was Shanyn.

I wonder where these guys live. I hope it's not too far away. The colony is just learning to fly. I'm already a little tired, and hungry.

That was Natalca

"They all seem nice enough," I told Max, "Actually, Shanyn doubts if we're trustworthy, but she thinks we are. Madysen is amazed she's actually free, and Natalca's hungry. Actually, they probably all are a little.

"You're right," Max said, "They didn't get a big huge breakfast of French Toast like we did. I wonder if they got any breakfast."

"Probably not," I answered her, "By the

"Okay, next town we get to, we'll stop and buy lunch."

Iggy POV

"Iggy," I heard Madysen say, "Can you tell what that little thing down there is?"

Annoyed, I automatically started to answer, "What do you think?" but stopped, remembering these guys didn't know I was blind yet.

"Uh, no, I can't really tell what anything is. I'm, um, well I'm blind," I told her awkwardly, since the only people I had ever had to tell were the flock. Max had always told people ahead of time that I was blind.

"Really? Have you been blind your whole life?" Madysen asked me, just as awkwardly.

"No. You know how birds have really great vision? Well, the whitecoats, I think that's the same as a labman, well, they tried to surgically enhance my vision even more, but they messed up, and made me blind," I told her.

Madysen laughed. Laughed. At me being blind. I gawked in her direction. No one had ever been that insensitive. "Oh! I'm sorry!" she instantly apologized, as if it would make a difference, "I'm laughing with relief! I swear I am not trying to be rude, but if you had been blind from birth, Shanyn couldn't help you. Shanyn can heal injuries; it was very convenient back at the School. If you had been blind from birth, it wouldn't count as an injury. As soon as we land, I'll get Shanyn to give you your vision back."

"Seriously?!" I said, "That's awesome! I can't wait! And here I thought you were just entirely insensitive!"

She laughed again and went to go fly by Shanyn. (A/N I almost typed in "stand" instead of "fly" then remembered they're thousands of feet in the air. Standing wouldn't work that well.)

My entire life I had dreamed of having sight, but they had always been just that: dreams, never to come true. Up ahead, I could hear Angel telling Max what had happened, she had been listening in my mind, apparently.

Shanyn POV

After a few minutes of flying, Madysen came to talk to me. "Shanyn, did you know that Iggy's blind?" she asked me.

"What? Are you serious!?" I exclaimed, turning to look at her, and nearly clipping wings at the same time.

"I just went to talk to him, and I asked him if he could tell what this little blue blob on the ground was, but he said he couldn't tell what anything was, because he was blind. But there's good news!" she said as I started to talk again, "He was made blind by whitecoats, which are apparently the same thing as labmen. They tried to make his sight better with an operation, but screwed up and made him blind instead. An operation counts as an injury, right? So you can fix it!"

I thought about this. I figured that something caused by an operation would count as an injury. After all, I had healed Madysen and Natalca's ears about a dozen times, when the labmen had tried to improve their hearing. Eyes shouldn't be much harder.

I was disturbed from my thoughts by a clip on the wing from Natalca, who was already the best flyer out of the three of us. "Max says we're gonna be landing soon, at a little town called Huntersville or something (It's actually called Huntingdon. My great aunt lives there. I went to see her last summer). What have you guys been talking about?" she asked.

"Apparently Iggy is blind, but it was through a surgery, so I figure I can probably heal him with my power," I told her.

"Okay then. That wasn't sudden at all," she said, sarcastically.

"Nope!"

After a quick signal from Max that none of us understood, the flock started to bank in towards a little cluster of lights. Taking it as a cue, the rest of us followed. When we made it to the ground, the colony all landed clumsily, even Natalca. Madysen did a full-out face-plant, taking a large bite of grass.

Natalca POV

After Madysen did a splendid nose-dive, Max came over to us, "You guys will have to wait here for a few minutes until I can get you some proper clothes. If you go into the restaurant like that, you'll attract way too much attention," she told us, referring to the runway-ready hospital gowns we were still wearing from the School.

"Okay," I said, "We'll wait here."

"Wait!" said Shanyn, walking away from where she was helping Madysen up and heading over to Max and I, "I want to fix Iggy's vision first."

"Good idea. Iggy, come here!" Max called.

Iggy immediately came running. "Yeah?" he asked when he got to us. I could here the excitement in his voice.

"I'm ready to fix your eyes," Shanyn told him.

"Okay."

Iggy POV

"Okay," I told Shanyn.

There was a moment's complete silence, in which I was sure that everyone was staring at Shanyn, and then it was like an explosion. There were colours everywhere! The colours matched up exactly with the colony and the flock's positions, and I realized that I was seeing them. With my eyes. It was amazing! I couldn't believe it. "I can see!" I exclaimed stupidly.

"That was sorta the whole point, Iggy," said Natalca, jokingly.

I looked in her direction. I looked at the place we were at. It appeared to be outside of an old warehouse. Very old. It was missing a few of the boards that made up its structure.

I looked at the sky. It was blue, with a few clouds.

I looked everywhere, and then became aware of Shanyn laughing quietly at me. I glared at her, but not meanly. Mostly I took in her appearance.

She was average height, maybe a little on the tall side. She wore glasses that, surprisingly, considering the whitecoats temper, didn't have any cracks in them. Her hair was dark blonde, and her body was muscled. She was beautiful. But maybe it was just that I hadn't seen anyone in years.

"Iggy? Are you coming with us, or are you gonna sit here staring at Shanyn all day?" asked Max.

"I'm coming," I told her

Madysen POV

I watched as the flock walked away, heading down the streets of the town I now realized was called Huntingdon, thanks to the sign a few meters away that I could see. For some reason, the name Huntingdon rang a bell, but my forgetful brain couldn't figure out why at the moment.

"Shanyn, Natalca, come here," I called out to them.

They immediately headed over. "Do you guys think we should trust the flock?" I asked them, "I know they rescued us, but what if it was just for personal gain?"

"I was thinking the same thing," said Shanyn, "It's like when the labmen rescued me from that car crash, but brought me to the School instead."

"Exactly," said Natalca, "If that's what they plan to do, we definitely shouldn't trust them. But what if they are nice? Then we have to trust them. Madysen, what exactly did the Voice say to you?"

"All it said was: People will be coming for you tomorrow. They will save you from the labmen, and take you with them. About it's usual level of helpfulness. Like the time it kept telling me to not use my powers to reshape the dog crates into a little metal marble. Actually, I did try, but it didn't work; the metal was to strong. That was the time I wasted almost all my energy and sat there mumbling to myself for five minutes."

"Well, I think we should trust them, but if they act suspicious or anything, we leave first chance," Natalca said to us.

"I agree."

"Same here," said Shanyn.

"Okay, that's all cleared up," I said, then turned to Shanyn and added jokingly, "By the way, any idea why Iggy was staring at you non-stop?"

Shanyn blushed, which never happens. Shanyn does not blush, ever. The closest she comes to blushing is when her face turns red if she works really hard. That happened a lot at School. Natalca and I kept teasing Shanyn until we heard the distant noises of the flock coming back with our new clothes. Since we had bat DNA, our hearing is better than most, just like the flock had raptor vision, we had crazily good hearing.

When the flock got back, Max handed me a bag, Nudge gave one to Natalca, and Iggy gave one to Shanyn, staring at her the whole time.

Shanyn went into the warehouse to change, I went behind the "Welcome to Huntingdon, Quebec" sign, and Natalca went into a nearby shed. Reaching into my bag, I found several pairs of shorts, two pairs of capris, (I'm sorry; I do not know how to spell that word. If anyone can't read that, I mean the things that are crosses between shorts and pants. If I spelled it right, my spellchecker thinks otherwise. Curse technology.) several t-shirts, which I immediately ripped holes in for my wings, some undergarments, a hairbrush, socks, shoes, and a windbreaker. I picked out blue and green board shorts that had Hawaiian flowers on them, and a plain blue t-shirt.

Once I was changed into these beautifully comfortable clothes, and had my hair sorta brushed (by the way, that really hurt), I went out to join the flock. Shanyn had already changed, and was wearing faded denim shorts, and a green t-shirt. In a few seconds, Natalca came out, wearing black capris, and a red t-shirt.

"Okay," said Max, "Ready to go to the restaurant?"

Well that is the next chapter. I promise to have Fax come up very soon. If not next chapter, the one after that. Sorry about the delay. I didn't work on my story for quite a while. There is a reason that I am cursing numbers 4-22 inclusive. It's because those are the math questions I have that are due on the 26th of May. Darn. I hate math. But I am good at it, sorta.
