Max P.O.V.
I watched in surprise as she slowly extended her wings. They were rosy red, and about twelve feet wide.
"You... you have wings? Like us?" I asked.
"You do too? I thought I was the only one. I also remember everything. I can't forget the images of watching hundreds of failed experiments die horrible deaths in their tiny dog crates." She said. I could feel her pain as she spoke. "I can remember every test, every shot, and every dying child."
"Oh that's so sad. Skye, what did they do when you ran away?" I asked, worried about what they would do to her.
"They are sending a lot of robots after me. And they're really strong. I think because they assumed I would find you." She said. "I'm scared. I don't want to make them stronger. It's only going to be harder for you with me on your side. I should just go back to the school."
"Skye, no. You are staying with us. No one deserves to be at that school." I said. "You will be a great help to us here. Now just rest for now. You will feel better." I took her to my room and let her lie down on the bed.
"Thank you so much, Max. You are very kind. I hope to stay here a long time." She said before falling asleep. I left her alone in my room and went back into the kitchen.
"Max, are you going to let her come with us?" Fang asked. "I mean she probably doesn't even know how to fly! She'll just slow us down."
"Come on, Fang. We aren't going anywhere, so we'll have plenty of time to teach her. And she really needs our help." I said.
"It's not a good idea to have someone so weak with us. Remember what happened to Angel?" he said.
"I'm gonna keep her in the flock. If you don't want to put up with her, then fine. You can leave. But that would just make us all more vulnerable." I said. "And don't you want to get back at the school? If they capture Skye we will go rescue her and all the other mutants."
"Fine. Keep her. But if she can't fly by the end of the week, you can have either her or me." He said then walked away.
"I like her. She could be a valuable part of our team." Angel said. "When she wakes up you should give her a flying lesson, make sure you can finish by next week." She walked outside.
"It is a beautiful day for flying." I said. I jumped off the cliff and flew through the air for about an hour. I was watching all the other birds fly around me.
When I got back, Skye was just waking up. "Skye, it's time for you to fly." I said and she smiled.
