Yeah I know it's been a long time since I updated and I'm REALLY SORRY!! School started back up and well… you know how that is. Here's chapter 2 of Black Wings! Disclaimer: I don't own Maximum Ride! Wish I did I'd be stinking rich!
The florescent lights reflected off the white walls, made her squint. Jeb lead the way through the twisting, winding hallways of the School, three Erasers followed behind. Jeb stopped in front of a closed door and swiped a card key, the door opened with a whoosh. Four whitecoats sat around a computer and Anne stood above them pointing at something on the screen.
She turned when they entered, "Max! How are you!" she asked flashing a huge fake smile.
Max just looked at her.
"You have a new mission," one of the whitecoats informed her, pointing at the screen.

Now in Max first POV
There were five pictures on the computer screen. Just by looking at the pictures I could tell that they were human-avains, like me. I felt something like a sharp pain in my chest, but then it was gone.
"These are human-avains just like you," Jeb informed me. He told me the names as he pointed to the pictures. "Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy and Angel."
"We need you to kill them." Anne said flatly.
Suddenly I had a flash…..
"Max come on!" Nudge shouted.
"Look at her she's all zoned out!" Gazzy yelled. Iggy and him laughed.
"Shut up! Unless you want me to kick your butt!!" Max shouted at them and started running toward them.
"Uh-oh we better run!" Iggy laughed and Gazzy and him took off with Max right after them.
"Max?!" I heard my name being called. Looking around I saw Jeb looking at me with concern.
"I'm fine." I told him curtly. "So, you want me to kill them."
"Yes, but there's something you need to know…" Jeb looked uncomtrable.
"What?" I asked impatiently.
"They will think you are someone else, another Max who was also a human-avain, like you. She's dead, but you two look exactly identical." Anne told me, staring at me with intensity.
'There are two of me?' I wondered. 'How can that be?'
"Do not be confused Max, you and the other Max are nothing alike." Jeb said, as if he knew what I was thinking.
"Fine. Consider the mission complete." I replied, turning to leave.
"Max, we don't want you to kill them. We want to experiment on them. Bring them alive." Anne called out to me.
I just nodded.

Fang looked back, he could see everyone was tired; they weren't used to using their wings this much. Back in New York they really couldn't fly very much or else someone might find out about their secret.
"I know we always dedicate one month in the summer to travel around the country searching for Max, but it's been three years." Iggy said in a low voice, flying up beside Fang. "If she wasn't dead and wanted to be found, we would've already found her."
"You don't know that." Fang whispered back.
Iggy just looked away, flying slower, falling behind Fang.
"Fang," Angel called in a quiet voice.
"Yeah?" Fang looked back at the 9 year old.
"I feel something, someone's coming." Angel replied. Her eyes were memorized, staring into the distance, as if she could see something nobody else could.
'She probably can.' Fang thought to himself.
A dark cloud appeared on the horizon, a cloud of Erasers.
"Everyone get into positions!" Fang yelled, looking back at the flock to make sure
everyone followed the instructions.

I watched from a distance, cloaked by invisibility. Just another handy skill the whitecoats gave me to help me in my missions.
The targets moved well and seemed experienced in dealing with attacks. I watched as the boy in the front with dark hair who looked about my age handled three Erasers at once with little difficulty. I recognized him as Fang.'Strong' I thought approvingly. Somehow this all felt familiar, being around the flock. They didn't seem like strangers. I just shook off the feeling.
The little girl, Angel was scary in her way to control others minds. She made ten Erasers plummet towards the ground with one command. It made me want to shiver, but I had seen worse.
The others held their ground, Iggy and Gazzy fending off Erasers with their notorious bombs, which I had been warned about. Nudge was talented in combat and could beat the crap out them without any special talents helping her out.
I flew towards them silently, calculating what my move should be.
"Use their emotion when they first see you to your advantage." Jeb's words rung in my ears.
The flock put up a good fight, but they couldn't hold out against the two hundred Eraser army that was sent to aid me.
"Land and I'll make my appearance." I ordered into my headpiece. I saw the head Eraser nod in my direction and start shouting orders to land.
On the ground the flock was held tight by two Erasers each, Fang was special and got three.
I uncloaked my invisibility, behind a tree and stepped out into the sunlight and the exposure, allowing the flock to see me.
Their eyes widened in shock. "Max!" Nudge screamed.

So what'd you guys think? Was the thing about searching one month each year for Max stupid? I wasn't really sure, but I wanted them to have a home to set up my story a certain way. I can change it though if you guys want. I'll take a vote.
REVIEW!!
