Thanks to the people who reviewed I really appreciate it! And to im2kool4u12897. The chaps will now be longer!
PS: So sorry about not labeling the POV's I will now but the story has only been from Phoenix's POV so far!


Phoenix POV
I mulled over my new name as the Director and Harrison led me down a series of twisted hallways, suddenly a frantic looking scientist hurried forward and whispered something in the directer's ear. I managed to catch a few words. Subject 34...escaped and that was all,b but the message was pretty self explanatory. the director whispered something ineligible back and continued to lead me, unfazed into a large room with white walls, floor and ceiling adorned with silver trollies and sterile looking operation tables and a whole lot of tech gizmo's that I'd never seen. The Director lead me over to one of the tables and motioned for me to hop on interrupting my thoughts of redecoration. I complied and easily slid onto the table. The director and Harrison smiled pleasantly.

"We're just going to give you a little check up then we have a surprise for you to celebrate!" the Director chirped and she motioned to a man that was standing a few meters away. As the man approached i pondered what the surprise could be maybe a knife or some kind of fancy gun. Something more for the mission than me personally. the man greeted me as Dr. Jeb Batchelder and he quickly began to conduct the check up. I could sense that this guy didn't seem to like me but I had never met him so I couldn't understand why.
"You don't like me" It wasn't a question. What can I say I like to get straight to the point. None of that 'dancing around the point' crap. He looked at me and smiled ruefully, but said nothing and finished the check up without another glance and walked away. I was not satisfied.

Max POV
We were camped somewhere in New York but nowhere near the city part but more around the Great Lakes and Canada. Fang was sitting in a tree being Mr. Dark And Mysterious, Iggy and Gaz were off a bit from the campfire no doubt doing something devious and Angel and Nudge were dong Celeste's hair Er... fur. I sighed pleasantly and settled down content to do nothing. Yeah thaat lasted.

"Max?"
"Yes Nudge"
"Um... I'm really hungry you know"
"Okay?"
"So could we get something to eat?"
A chorus of agreement with this statement met my ears and I reluctantly got up relinquishing my small moment of rest.
"Alright let's move then we need to pack up and put out the fire before we leave."

We spent a good ten minutes closing up shop before we took off. Funny how literal that is for us. we flew for a few hours into the city part of New York and landed in an alley a few buildings down from the restaurant we were aiming to visit.
"Maximum Ride" an unfamiliar voice called from behind our small group as we were walking out of the alley.

I whipped around shepherding the younger kids behind me and checking to see if Iggy needed any help. Fortunately he had taken
stance and was doing fine and Fang definitely didn't need my help so I turned my to the stranger.

He loomed in the shadows so I couldn't make out his features but I could tell he was tall thin and had longish hair. he reminded me a little of Fang. He stepped out of the Shadows and I got a good look at him before FAng shot forward grabbing his arms and yanking them behind him. The boy had chocolate brown eyes and hair he was wearing old torn jeans and a dirty T-shirt. his skin was pretty normal not pale but not super tan either. He wriggled in Fang's iron grasp and after a moment managed to free himself.

He pushed himself away from Fang and turned to me again "Max. I need your help."

How was it? I tried to make it a bit longer. Enjoy and please review! :D
