Iggy POV

We had flown for what felt like eight hours. It had started to get cold so I assumed that the sun was going down. I thought that it might be best if we rested in a nearby forest or park for the night because there was no point in straining ourselves.

"Hey, Ange, is there a forest or a park nearby? I think that we should rest up for tomorrow." I said looking in her direction.

"Umm.........yeah, it's about two minutes away."

I nodded and followed the sound of her graceful wings as we changed course and went North West. We flew in silence, as we had nothing to talk about. I reached into the pocket of my jeans and touched the bomb inside, just to make sure that it was still there. I had another three inside my pack and they were much bigger than my pocket sized one. I had made one of them this morning before Nudge had woken up. It felt weird making it without Gazzy there to help me and I was a bit rusty after not making them for so long. But, it had felt good to be back in the bomb making business!

The bombs weighed me down a bit but I knew that they were crucial if we were going to rescue Gazzy. If I knew him, and I do, then he will have his bomb stash too, and if we use our bombs together, we should be able get out of the school. And with Angel's mind reading powers, we should be able to trick some of those idiot White coats to do some of our bidding!

"Yeah!" Angel exclaimed excitedly from in front of me. "That's a good plan, Iggy."

I smiled back at her as we started to go down.

We landed in a big tree that was big enough for the two of us. I remembered all of the times that we had slept in trees while being on the run. Usually we had three trees between us and we would all quietly talk to each other as we slowly dropped off to sleep. I also remember hearing Max and Fang quietly murmuring to one another before one of them would go to sleep while the other kept watch.
And while I was on watch, I would hear the quiet breathing of my family around me, but this time, I could only hear Angel.

"I'll take watch, alright Angel?" I asked her as we got comfortable. I was leaning against a branch that had one branch on either side to support the rest of my body. Angel was settling herself on a branch below me and was resting her head on my leg. Our backpacks were on a branch next to me, so if something happened I could get them quickly.

"Okay, do you want me to take the next one?" She asked sweetly. I could imagine her giving me an innocent smile right about then.

"It's ok, Ange, I'm not that tired. I'll take the whole watch; you just get some sleep for tomorrow." I murmured to her.

"Alright, thanks Iggy," she said as she patted my leg. "Oh, can you get Celeste out of my pack, please?"

"Sure," I answered as I reached out until I felt the backpacks. I grabbed hers and rested it on my lap as I felt around for her bear.

"Aha," I exclaimed as I found it and passed it down to her. She took it and then rested her head against my leg again.

I held out my fist in, what I guessed was, her line of vision. I felt her fist on top of mine and we tapped the backs.

"Night Angel," I said quietly as I smiled to myself.

"Night," she answered and I heard her yawn. She then went still.

I closed my eyes and listened very carefully for any sign of trouble. I knew that even if I did fall asleep, the slightest noise would wake me up. We are all like that, as we were taught to sleep with one eye, or in my case ear, open so that we wouldn't wake up bound and gagged. Max had taught us to always be on full alert all of the time, even if you think you're safe, you most likely aren't. Paranoia comes with the whole 'Bird kid' gig, I guess.

I let myself give into the memories that I had been suppressing for the past week. I didn't want to think about them before because they reminded me that Max was gone, but something about tonight made me think it was ok to remember them.

Flashback......

"Yeah, but I won't always have you!" I said, as my voice became louder again. "What happens if you get killed? Of course I need to see you idiot! I remember seeing! I know what it's like! I don't have it anymore and I won't ever have it again. And someday I'm going to lose you, lose all of you- and when that happens, I'll lose.......myself."

I could feel the anger burning up inside me. I honestly couldn't take it anymore! My nails were digging into the palms of my hands and I just wanted a way to relieve some of my anger, so I bent down and threw a huge chunk of asphalt in a random direction. I heard glass shatter followed by the sound of alarms going off.

Crap.

"Uh-oh," I muttered.

"Let's split," Fang said. I heard Angel, Gazzy and Nudge take off, and Max zipping up her jacket.

"No," I said sternly.

"What, come on Iggy," Max said. "The alarms are going off."

"I know, I'm not deaf too," I answered bitterly. "I don't care. Let them find me, take me now. It doesn't matter. Nothing matters."

I sat down on the curb, not caring about anything that was going on around me. It was all over, it didn't matter what happened to me anymore, I simply didn't care.

"Iggy, let's go get up," Fang said.

"Give me one good reason," I said as I dropped my head into my hands. I felt fresh tears roll down my cheeks but I didn't bother to brush them away.

I heard Total yip, followed by Max saying "You guys go."

The police sirens started to get closer and I knew that they would be upon us soon.

Max leaned down next to me. "Listen Iggy," She said. "I'm sorry about tonight. I know how disappointed you are. We're all disappointed. And I'm sorry you're blind. I remember when you weren't, and I can't even imagine what it's like to lose that. I'm sorry that we're mutant bird kids, I'm sorry we don't have parents; I'm sorry we have Erasers and people trying to kill us all the time.

"But if you think I'm going to let you give up on us now, you've got another thing coming. Yes, you're a blind mutant freak, but you're my blind mutant freak, and you're coming with me now, you're coming with us right now, or I swear I will kick you're skinny white ass from here to the end of next week."

I lifted my head as her words sunk in.

"Iggy, I need you," she said sounding urgent. "I love you. I need all of you, all five of you, to feel whole myself. Now get up, before I kill you."

I quickly got to my feet. Somehow Max's words had made me feel better and I knew that I needed to go with her, with my family who loved me.

"Well, when you put it that way....." I answered.

Max grabbed my hand and dragged me behind the mall where we quickly took off. I felt Max's feathers brush against mine on every downstroke which made me feel a bit better as we headed for Anne Walkers house.

"We're your family," she told me. "We'll always be your family."

"I know." I answered as I rubbed my sleeve over my eyes to wipe away the tears.

"Let's go fast," Total said.

End Flashback..........

I always remember that day because it was one of those days that I had felt really close to Max. She was always there when we needed her the most, and she knew exactly what to say. I don't like to think about what would've happened if she hadn't gotten me of my butt that day, all I know was that it wouldn't of ended well.

Flashback...........

"I wanted to get the chip out," Max whispered.

"Well, forget it!" Fang said angrily. I hadn't ever heard him this angry before.......except for when he had been fighting Erasers.

"The chip stays in. You don't get off that easy. You die when we die!" He exclaimed.

"I'm sorry," she barely managed to say before she burst into tears.

She had really scared me. She had scared all of us by trying to cut her chip out. And when she burst into tears, I must say that I was shocked.

Not knowing what to do, I gently patted her shoulder.

"Shh, shh," Nudge said soothingly.

"It's okay, Max," I said trying to calm her down, but I could hear my voice shaking as I said it. "Everything's okay."

End Flashback........

I don't know why that memory was so clear, but I think that it might be because we were all together and it showed how much we cared for one another................

I opened my eyes and sighed as I moved into a more comfortable position on my branch. I then heard the branch below my move as a small six year old climbed off her branch and onto my lap. She then snuggled into my chest and started to cry.

"It's alright Angel," I said as I stroked her hair. She must have been listening in to my memories. Next time I should reconsider doing that when I have a mind reader sleeping on the branch below me.

"No, I had that nightmare again," she said quietly.

I knew exactly what she meant. Gazzy had the same thing on most nights. They were often memories of Max's death played in dream form. Even I had had that nightmare every now and again.

"Try to get some sleep, it will-" I stopped and with Angel still sitting in my lap I sat up abruptly. I wrapped my arms around her so that she wouldn't fall off the branch and listened. She stopped crying and moved her head slowly, scanning her surroundings.

I listened more carefully and realized that I recognised that noise. I grabbed our packs and thrust one of them at Angel. She took it and dropped off my lap and back onto her branch.

"What is it, Iggy?" She asked nervously.

I put my pack on before I answered. "Flyboys," and jumped off my branch and spread my wings. I heard her follow as we left the park and started to get higher. I then put on speed to put as much distance between them and us as possible. We were flying side by side and she kept up with me easily.

"Iggy!" She shouted. I stopped and turned to face her.

There are about one hundred of them and they are coming from behind. I heard her say in my head.

I tucked my wings in as I slowly slipped my pack off and then unfurled them again and rose to meet Angel. I then handed the pack to her, unzipped it and took out one of my old bombs that Gazzy and I had made a while ago. I set it to ten seconds as I listened carefully and waited for them to be in throwing range. When they were where I wanted them, I pressed the button to start the countdown and hurled the bomb toward them as hard as I could.

"LET'S GO!" I shouted as I grabbed my pack from Angel and started to fly away from the horde of flyboys as fast as I could.

Three.........two..........one............ I counted in my head before................

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
