Max POV

Gazzy and I had just finished eating when Gazzy sat bolt upright. I looked at him and was about to say something when he held his finger to his lips.

"Shh," he said.

I nodded and waited for him to tell me what the hell was going on. I couldn't hear anything so I just sat quietly, not moving. A few moments later Gazzy spoke.

"Angel and Iggy are here!" He said excitedly as he got up and headed for the door.

I felt my heart jump into my throat. Angel, my baby, and Iggy were here! I couldn't believe it. I was about to see my family again. But that's when I realized that two of my family (three if you count Total) weren't mentioned by Gaz.

"Are Fang and Nudge with them?" I asked, my heart beating faster than usual.

"Umm.....I don't know. She wants us to wait until she gets here to tell us, Max." He answered with a frown. "I haven't told them about you yet, so they are going to get a surprise when they open the door." He said with a grin.

I sighed, Angel will definitely find out with her mind about me before she even reaches the door. I thought as I joined Gazzy at the door and waited.

A few minutes later Gazzy started to set up his bomb on the door and told me that he and Iggy were going to blow it up, no surprise there.

HI MAX! I heard an excited voice in my head. I felt a small smile spread across my face, and I was on the brink of tears, which was quite unusual.

Hi sweetie, how are you? I thought back. I couldn't believe that they were here! I had missed them so much.

I am good. And so is Iggy, but he and Fang got shot when they tried to rescue Gazzy. She thought.

Crap.

Are they alright? I asked feeling tense.

Yep. Iggy is still limping because of his knee but he is fine. And Fang is back at home with Nudge because he got shot in the wing and can't fly................Oh, I will see you in a minute. We are going to blow up the door now, bye.

Bye. I replied.

Fang was alright. I let out a sigh and watched Gazzy finish working on the bomb. I suddenly heard Iggy's voice on the other side of the door.

"Three.........two.............one............GO!" He shouted and I knew that it was time to take cover. Gazzy got up and ran to a corner of the small room and I followed. There was a trolley in here that they used to carry experiment crates around on, so I rolled it over quickly and put it in between us and the door. Then I put an arm around Gazzy and waited for impact. A few seconds later.....

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

There was dust everywhere and my ears were ringing, but we were unharmed. Gazzy and I stood up and made our way around the debris and headed for the door. I stopped when I realized that there was a hole in the wall twice the size of the door. However, the door didn't even exist anymore, there was just an empty space. It must have been one of the biggest explosions that Gazzy and Iggy had ever accomplished. Gazzy started to cough and I patted his back.

"REPORT!" I shouted while waiting for an answer. Hopefully Angel and Iggy were alright and conscious, otherwise we would have to try to find them in the mess. I walked into the doorway before shouting again.

"REPORT!" And while doing that I managed swallowed a huge mouthful of dust. I cleared my throat to try again when I heard a voice.

"MAAAAAAAAAAX!" I heard Angel shout. And pretty soon I saw her come out of the mess and she ran over to me. I picked her up so that she had her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist, and I hugged her tight. This time tears did fall down my cheeks. I know the great Maximum Ride crying, but I can't even begin to explain how much I missed her. I stood there with Angel for a few moments before we were interupted.

"Gazzy, you're not playing some cruel joke on me, are you?" I heard Iggy ask with his voice shaking as he appeared from the wall of smoke. He turned to face the doorway with a confused look on his face.

I gently put Angel on the ground and wove my way around broken shards of metal and concrete until I was standing in front of him. I reached out and softly placed my hand to his face. He slowly reached up and touched my hand and I gently moved his hand onto my face. There was a moment of silence before a look of shock appeared on Iggy's features.

"Max?" He whispered in pure disbelief.

"Yes, It's me, Ig." I answered quietly as I felt another tear slide down my cheek and I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him tight. He hugged my back without a second thought and we stood there in the middle of the dust and debris hugging.

After a minute I let go and beckoned the rest of the Flock over.

"That. Was. AWESOME!" Gazzy exclaimed as he highfived his best friend. And, once again, Iggy didn't miss! I'm still trying to figure out how he does that!

"Okay guys, now that we've had our sappy reunion, let's split before the whitecoats come and catch us." I said but my voice sounded weird because I had been crying.

"God, are you crying? Have you become soft while staying here, or are you not really Max?" Iggy asked with a grin.

I punched min in the shoulder. "Shut up, Iggy!" I exclaimed as he rubbed his arm.

"Yep, you're Max alright," she said between clenched teeth while he continued to rub his arm.

I then realized that he had a long gash on his upper arm, probably from the explosion. I was just about to ask him about it, when an alarm went off. The four of us looked around for a second before I decided to make a move.

"Come on! Let's blow this joint!" I shouted over the sirens. I grabbed Iggy's arm and we hurried down the hall, followed by Angel and Gazzy.

Max, follow me. I know where to go. I heard Angel's thoughts in my head before she appeared in front of me. I nodded at her as she made a left at an intersection.

The sirens were still blearing in our ears and there were red lights flashing. It was so loud that I could hardly hear myself think and I wanted more than anything to be out of this place. Angel made another right and then two lefts. I was making sure that I remembered this, just in case we needed to back track.

Gazzy and Angel were holding up okay and they weren't slowing down, but I noticed that Iggy was straining a bit. He was limping as we were bolting down the hallway and I just hoped that his knee wouldn't give out before we got to the door. But that was the least of my worries. I could see the door; it was at the end of the hallway. Just a few more meters and we would be free again. But, that would be too easy wouldn't it. You didn't think that the school was going to let us go without a fight now did you?

In front of us were thirty Flyboys, all armed and ready. We kept running and I curled my hands into fists ready for impact.

"Alright guys! There's about thirty of them, but we can take them easily right?" I asked over the roar of the sirens.

They all replied 'yeah' at different times. And then, we charged into battle.

I punched a Flyboy in the head so hard that it went flying off its body. It crumpled to the ground in a heap as I sprang toward the next target. I kicked another one in the base of the spine, because Gazzy told me that it still worked, and it did. I watched its legs fall out from under it as it fell. I took a hit to the head and the stomach but I came back with a roundhouse kick to another Flyboys chest. I then took another blow to the head. I was really rusty.

"MAX!" I heard Gazzy cry from next to me. I turned and pushed past a few Flyboys to get to his position. A flyboy had him by the wrist and was holding him up in the air. His wrist looked broken in the Flyboy's grasp. I slammed my foot into its arm so that it dropped off and Gazzy fell to the ground. He quickly cradled his hurt wrist in his other hand before jumping up and kicking it at the base of the spine. We then teamed up and took out another six Flyboys.

I looked over my shoulder and saw Angel fighting her heart out, my little soldier. She had taken out about three in the time that I had watched her. There weren't many left now about seven or so. I quickly dodged a punch and then was grabbed by the arm. The Flyboy then twisted it behind my back and I heard it pop. I cried out in pain but swung my leg behind me and knocked its legs out from under it. While it was on its back, I used the back of my foot to kick it hard in the neck and its head went spinning across the smooth floor. My arm was killing me, but I still managed to take out another few Flyboys before realizing that we had finished. I looked around and saw a lot of scrap pieces of robot lying everywhere. Without another thought I dashed out the door and heard the others follow behind me.

I felt the wind on my face and through my hair as I started to run. I then leaped into the air, spread my wings and began to rise into the sky. I was back, and I felt invincible. My wings propelled me powerfully through the air as my family rose to be with me. I looked around at them to see that they were all bloody and tired. I knew that we needed to find a place to clean ourselves up and bandage our injuries properly. I remembered that my arm was still popped out of its socket and it was starting to bother me. However, I ignored it as I let the morning sun warm my face and feathers, I felt free.

"Max, can we land?" Gazzy's small voice asked from behind me a few minutes later.

I nodded and looked around. Using my raptor vision, I looked ahead and found a small forest that looked like it was only a few minutes away.

"Alright guys. Let's fly for a few more minutes until we reach that forest." I said pointing ahead of me. "Then we will get fixed up and go home." As I said the last part, a smile spread across my face.

Home.

With Mom and Ella, Nudge, Total and..............

Fang.

As I thought about his name, I pictured him in my head. His dark eyes that showed no emotion but were almost always locked with mine, his rare smile that would always light up our immediate area, his dark wings that moved powerfully through the air and.............his lips on mine when we were kissing.

I knew that I would see him again soon. I couldn't wait to hear Nudge's constant chatter and Total's constant whining. I wanted to hug my mom and my half sister and I wanted to feel Fang's hand in mine again. I knew that I wouldn't have to wait long.

Fang. Iggy. Nudge. the Gasman. Angel. Total.

We would all be together soon, I couldn't wait.

And there ya go! I hoped that you liked it, and there will be more soon, I promise! But it will be up sooner if u........................I am sure that u hav seen this coming right?
