Nudge POV:

Max would've flown right into me if I hadn't been paying attention (somewhat) to my surroundings while listening to Angel's plan! We were just about to break into the Institute (again), form a jailbreak of sorts, and come out again with our flock in it's entirety when she came barreling towards us. I jolted downward, almost hitting the yucky water, and like, that would so totally have ruined my outfit! Like, mud isn't a style!

Can it Nudge, Max is alive! Max is here! We're happy to see her and we're telling Fang about it not going on about fashion!

Well I was thinking it not saying it! But I guess Angel doesn't care either way since she hears both. Ya know, she can be a lot like Max sometimes! Anyway, back to the present action...

Max had landed on the ledge beside us. Angel, Nudge and I scrambled across and wrapped her in a hug. Iggy tried but missed and we laughed. "Hey, what's so funny? I'm a blind guy in a sewer tunnel! Come on, gimme some slack!" he said. This only made us laugh harder.

"So, if I may, can I ask what you guys happen to be doing here outside an evil genetic lab where I was just captured without Fang?" Max directed her question to Angel and I. Smart thinking 'cause Gaz and Ig probably wouldn't know. Max looked like she was concentrating. The Voice again? Na, it's just Angel telling her what happened. "I see. Can't we go get him? I do wanna see him you know! And he will want to see me! Ooo! I have a funny plan! Ange, would you please tell everyone in case somebody is listening right now?" Wow, I never new Max was such a chatterbox! Just then I got Angel's message:

Kay guys, so, Max wants us to go up to the subway tracks and find Fang, leaving her here first. We'll tell Fang a story about how she died, and Max will be close enough to see his reaction. Then after we get him to cry Max will come out! Like it? Well, doesn't matter anyway 'cause we're movin'. Let's go!

I agree, I thought, and Angel nodded. We jumped up into the air again, leaving Max on the ledge to wait. Wait a minute, there's somebody with her! Has he been there the whole time? Does he know what we're doing? Does he work for the Director? Just in case I shouted, "Max! Behind you!" At the same time as both Iggy and Gazzy did. Guess we had the same though line. "Relax, it's alright, this is Dylan. He's a friend, he's Like Us, and he helped me escape. I broke him out with me." Suddenly she seemed to explode with anger. "ANGEL! DON'T YOU DARE! THAT IS SOO NOT TRUE! I LOVE FANG YOU PERVERTED TWERP!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. We all stuffed our ears with our fingers. God she was loud! "I think my eardrums got shattered!" commented Gazzy. "Ya think?" I said back. "Sorry. New power," Max shrugged. God that was loud! It could break metal it was so strong!

Wait a minute, Max was creaming how she loved Fang. That probably means Angel thought to her about loving someone else. And her Voice probably added. Now, who else is here who she could hit on? Right. Dylan. Oh god, this was SOO not good. Max liked Dylan? What would Fang say? FANG! "GUYS! Stop staring and get the plan in action Fang's waiting!" I practically shouted. We turned around and flew out the entrance to the sewers into the subway system.

Max POV:

I CANNOT believe Angel just thought that! So not true! Fang is my soulmate not Dylan! But I had been starting to get butterflies around him, so I can't blame her. Boy do I wonder what fresh hell this will cause by Fang! Crap!

I realized Dylan was staring at me as if in a trance. "What? Do i have blood on my face?" I asked. "No, you're just, uh... cute! There I said it! You're pretty, Max. Fang is so lucky to have you." he burst. OMG! Dylan crushed on me! I was gonna have to watch one major guy-fight when we met up with Fang.

It's because Dylan is your perfect other half.

WHAT? ANGEL WHAT KIND OF A PRANK IS THIS?

This isn't Angel, Max. Think!

Voice. Long time no annoy.

You love Dylan because he was made for your love. Fang wasn't, not this way. Fang has a perfect other half as well.

What are you talking about? Fang and I are soulmates! We love each other not some other weirdo experiments! You're going psycho on me!

No I'm not, Max, you just don't want to accept the truth. You and Fang are over now. Fang will soon meet his other half and they will form a flock of their own. Dylan will join your flock, in Fang's place. And Fang will die before Dylan does. He will die soon, after he meets his perfect other half.

YOU'RE WRONG! THERE'S NO WAY THIS CRAP IS TRUE! What is Fang's "perfect half"'s name?

I can't tell you. You're going into a trance, Max. Wake up and smell the coffee. Talk to you later, dumb-butt! And don't forget about saving the world!
