The room was back to its usual darkness. Rogue couldn't tell if it was day or night due to the lack of windows to provide natural light. She nurtured her bleeding nose while she rested against the wall. She was in so much pain. Her cracked rib throbbed with every breath she took and broken arm ached every time she moved.
No matter how badly injured she was, she wasn't going to tell them anything. She would rather die than trade her family in. Tears gathered in her eyes. She missed them. She missed them all, even Tony, the annoying pain in the butt he was. She just wanted everything back the way it was. They were happy. Couldn't they let them be!
She took a deep painful breath and shifted her aching body. Her eyes played tricks on her as she stared into the darkness. Nonexistent figures moved around the room, making her uneasy. She closed her eyes and pretended she was somewhere else. Somewhere with the Flock, somewhere with no Erasers, somewhere she wasn't hungry, tired and in pain.
She smiled at the memory of Ginger playing in the backyard with Alley and Mikey. Their joyful, carefree laughs echoed in her head. A tear ran down her cheek. What if she never saw them again?
"How long until we reach New York City?" Dean asked Sam anxiously.
"Not long," he glanced at his brother in the passenger seat, "She'll be okay, Dean. Rogue's a tough girl. She's told us many times she can take care of herself."
"Why are you going to New York City? What could possible be there? We should be trying to find Rogue," Dean complained.
"She told us to. Whatever's in New York City can help us."
"How are we supposed to find what we're looking for?"
"I don't know, maybe it'll come to us."
Elsie POV (A/N Are you Happy now?)
Max, Angel, Nudge, Alley and I sat on the roof of the warehouse watching the sunset. The boys were off somewhere else doing whatever boys do. Today had been uneventful. We went out for breakfast, then came back, lounged around the warehouse, then went out again for lunch, then came back again. That was about it. I had done my best not to think about the flock. I didn't want to even contemplate the possibility that they were dead.
Alley's mood had changed since our fight. She appeared happier. Maybe she was doing the same as I, trying no to think about the possibilities.
"Look at that one," Angel giggled and pointed to a cloud, "it looks like Fang on a bad day."
I couldn't help but laugh. What could I say? It resembled him so much.
Something on the horizon caught my eye. I squinted my eyes to see better. My vision zoomed in and my face lit up. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
"Oh my God," I whispered with a smile creeping onto my face.
"What?" Alley asked and moved closer to me. Then she saw it as well. "Oh my God."
There they were. Tony was flying in the sky followed by Mikey who was noticeably tired. Poor kid, Tony probably pushed him to his limits.
Alley and I stood up and started jumping up and down to gain their attention. They didn't see us and continued flying towards the building that had been our meeting place. They were getting closer and closer…..
At that point I started screaming at them, but they couldn't hear me. I cursed.
"Stay here," I ordered Alley and launched myself into the air.
I sped towards them, increasing my speed each second. I was the fastest flying in the flock. My almost hairless body and my smooth wings made me slimline. The only resistant to the wind were my clothes.
I shot into Tony's stomach and he cried out in pain. Mikey tilted his wings and flew higher into the sky to avoid me. Tony and I tumbled out of the sky towards the fast approaching ground. Tony spread his wings and held onto me tight as our descent decreased and we landed softly onto the rooftop of an apartment block.
"What the hell are you doing?" Tony yelled at me, "I'm gonna get a bruise now."
Mikey landed next to Tony looking at me in bewilderment. "It was the only way I could get you to stop," I replied and rubbed my sore shoulder.
"You could have just told me to."
"Well, I tried jumping up and down like an idiot, but that didn't seem to work."
"What's your problem anyway?"
"Guys, we have Erasers," Mikey interrupted us as he looked towards our meeting place where four Erasers were flying towards us.
Sorry it took so long to update. I got sidetracked and was playing Majong
