Well, I know the last chapter was short I wrote it down yesterday at the Math class I'm taking at the local Community College. No, I'm not stupid; Math just isn't my strong subject. It has been raining for three days straight now so I'm stuck inside with my pajamas on in bed typing this right now. I'm not complaining, here's another chapter I hope you like it. So please R-E-V-I-E-W! –CJ
Chapter 3
Max's POV
"Hello Max, my name is Amerile Jessica you will call me AJ. I am your protector." I was shocked there stood this Amerile chick who apparently is supposed to save me, me the invincible Maximum Ride.
"Well are you going to get up and introduce yourself or what?" I scrambled to my feet, and said.
"So you're my protector?" she nodded.
"Yup, so let me show you around the headquarters but I can't stay long, I have get to your folks." She leads me to the door; we start to walk down the hall. I look through the windows, I see occupied hospital beds, but instead of adults tending to a patient I see kids, and as I pass by more rooms I see more kids. I see a girl tending to a boy's bullet wound who looks like he had scales, and then I see a group of kids who like not much older than Angel learning some type of self defense. This was like I don't know like a Mutant Children Army. It was awesome; it really felt good to have other people out there believing in what we believe in.
"So this is the MCU?" she nodded,
"Yup, well not all of it."
"Impressive." I said nodding. She led me to a circular table of kids all on laptops with headphones one. She walked over to a kid with large glasses with scruffy brown hair who looked like he twelve or thirteen and a girl who like she was nine or ten and who had the darkest hair I've ever seen, it almost looked purple and black eyes and olive skin. She was strikingly beautiful. It seemed like they were arguing about who knows what. AJ looked down at the kid with the glasses and tapped him on the shoulder; the boy looked up and jumped. Almost like se was afraid of her presence,
"Max this is Levi Jacoby, our head of Technology and all that computer stuff, he's twelve." she said gesturing to the kid named Levi. He outstretched a hand,
"Hello, Ms. Ride, pleased to meet you," this kid had some manners. AJ continued,
"And this is Alexandra, Lexi for short. Levi's sister, she's my little pyromaniac." The little girl grinned has AJ ruffled her hair. Like Gazzy I the thought of him made me sad. Levi and Lexi really didn't a lot a like, but if you looked closely you could see the resemblance in their faces. Then she led my over to another area with I kid who looked fourteen assembling a firearm. Geez, these guys were serious. AJ called,
"Yo, Xavier, I want you to meet Max." The boy looked up,
"Hey, my name's Xavier." AJ rolled her eyes.
"She knows that, Xavier here is our head of weapons. You know guns and all that stuff." The boy rolled his eyes back at her.
"Ames thinks 'Guns are too violent.'"
"I don't like guns because you almost took Levi's eye out!"
"I didn't mean to!"
"Whatever comes one Max I have to show you your bunk?" She led leaded me to another hallway right until a kid ran right into her, knocking her onto her butt.
"AJ! AJ! AJ!" the girl yelled she was petite with blonde hair and brown eyes that looked like they were about to bug out of her head. AJ frowned and brushed herself off.
"Yes, Bugs." She said gritting her teeth. Bugs?
"AJ! I have news that the DG has left the French border we're not sure where they're headed next but you need to get moving soon."
"OK, crap, Max this is Remi we call her Bugs, well you can guess why. I got to go, Remy show Max to her bunk." The little girl gasped,
"Your Maximum Ride, you're supposed to save the World right and you have a SUPER hot boyfriend Dylan, right? You know I think the girl Nudge in your Flock is really cool; I can't wait to meet her and everyone else! But AJ said that…" AJ clamped her over "Bug's" mouth, she is so much like Nudge I thought, and how did they know who Nudge was?
"Uhm, yeah, except Dylan and I aren't dating…"
"Yes, I apologize for Remy, she likes to talk." I smiled. Remy pulled my arm along and we began to walk down the hallway.
"Max, I'll take care of your Flock and that emo guy and his group." I snickered, Fang.
"Thanks," Maybe I was actually starting to trust her, but I wasn't so sure yet. Remy tugged my arm again.
"OK, Max you will be in bunk R-14," I nodded,
"Oh and how did you know about Nudge?"
"We have you looking for you guys for two years, its like AJ's mission she started this whole thing. She busted us all out of the facility. So we kind of studied you guys. Thanks to Total…"
"Wait, you mean Total? That freaking dog has been spying on us?"
"No, no we found him and he's here somewhere, he was with another dog and we kind of asked him to tell about you. He made us promote him to Sergeant. He was suspicious for a while but this guy his name was like Bed of Heb, I don't know…"
"You mean Jeb knew about this place."
"Uh, yeah, he comes here sometimes to check up on us. We haven't heard from him in a while."
"Geez, that's a lot to take in."
"Well, your training will start tomorrow, and AJ said that she will try to video chat you or something so you can communicate with you Flock and the other guys."
"Ok, thanks, uh Bugs." She smiled.
"Your welcome and Sergeant Total will be here in soon." Sergeant Total? What the heck is that dog doing to this place? Then none other but Total trotted into the room.
"Total?"
"Yeah, it's me Max. I heard the Doomsday group has Ang. Those slimy…" I interrupted him before he could finish,
"Hey, Total how've you been."
"Well, I was dog-napped on my Honeymoon by more mutant children, but other than that, things have been good." I laughed,
"I heard you made them promote you to Sergeant." He grumbled,
"Well, I gave them information didn't I?" I laughed patting him on his head.
"How are you and Mr. Rock doing?"
"Well, "Mr. Rock" took off right after Angel went missing because he thought she was dead, he's got his own band of mutants along with my clone."
"Oh, that's rough sister, just let it all out." I gave him a weird look,
"Oh OK, let it all out. Yeah, you might want sleep training starts tomorrow, and let me tell you AJ is just like you. She's terrifying, tough, and so…" I gave him another look, "I mean she's wonderful in every way possible. But the training here is hard-core." I nodded; I was going to get some sleep,
"Thanks, Total I guess I'll see you around."
"See yah Max," I watched him as he trotted out the door that dog is something. I walked over to the bed and collapsed and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Please review! I know this Chapter wasn't much better but bear with me!
