Third Person POV
Fang met eyes with Max. She gave a small nod that meant, "Think about the Flock." Fang hated it, but he knew they had no other choice. The younger kids couldn't take much more of this fight. Fang prepared to tell the kids to just give up and fly for their lives, but Nudge's shriek made him freeze as he followed her line of sight. Not fifty feet away from them was a girl, perhaps a year older than him and Max, fiercely swirling in the air and battling the Flyboys.
And she had wings.
Wings like a bat, face and other anatomy like a human. Except for her ears, which were in the shape of bats, and her unnaturally long, webbed fingers, with her wings folded in she would have looked normal. Another escaped experiment? he asked himself, perplexed. But Max's Voice told her that all the experiments had been retired! And that had been a while back, too! Surely, this experiment would have been dead by now. On the other hand, he was still alive, so that was a flawed explanation... Fang was brought back to reality when Max pulled on his sleeve sharply, alerting him to the swarm of Flyboys now turning away from his flock and towards this mysterious bat girl, who didn't acknowledge the bird-kids. Her face was blank of any expression; eyes closed for whatever reason, a hard, setline for her mouth. Fang found the last aspect odd, shouldn't someone who was sure to die be more frightened? One experiment, no matter how strong or cunning, was not able to defeat a swarm of a hundred, gun-powered Flyboys.
Or so he had thought.
