Aj: Sorry for posting so late, but I had to have dinner with my grandparents and Uncle. Guess what! My mom took me to the doctor's office to check and make sure that I was perfectly fine from the car accident I was in and when I asked the dude why, he said, and I quote, "Some people have expired because of hitting their head in accidents if procedures aren't taken." When he said expired I immediately thought of Maximum Ride. So this was how our appointment went. I was in an uncooperative mood.
Doctor Doofus: So my files show that you were coming home from soccer practice. Is that right young lady?"
Me: It's a little uncomfortable that you know where I was. Are you a stalker? Don't tell my mom my math grade okay.
Doctor Doofus: If you answer the question I'll give you a lollipop.
Me: Ooh! A lollipop! What am I five freaking years old?
Doctor Doofus: I would expect this behavior from a boy, but since you're a girl I would expect you to be cooperative. Tell you what; I have a lip-gloss here that my daughter didn't use that was left over from her sleepover. If you answer the question I'll give it to you.
Me: No I wasn't coming home from soccer. I was coming from ballet where the other girls and me just sat around doing each other's makeup and talking about boys.
Doctor Doofus: Really? I'll just change that…"
Me: No you idiot! I'm out of here.
Now that my rant is over here is the chapter.
Grey was looking out from his fifteenth floor window in his final setting. For years he had been planning this moment. The entire flock under his control. Other corporations had been trying to kill the six who could be the deciding factor in this war. Angel was the most impressive out of his work. He had just gone down to the school in Death Valley and requested to see the six year old. At first, they refused, but once he persuaded them with some of his money he was permitted access. There he looked at her vitals and realized that with the proper serum she could be his genera in the war over the earth.
Grey injected the unconscious girl with his serum and her powers soon began sprouting like weeds. He then hooked her up to a brainwave monitor and discovered that her breaking point was the girl, Maximum Ride. He put an EKG monitor over her third eye, as the spot on her forehead is also known as, and programmed that scene of her leader being killed and it being the girl's entire fault. He was able to control her from there easily. Ironic how now she was actually trying to kill Maximum at this very moment. Grey chuckled at this thought.
He spun on his heel and approached the cage next to him. Inside was a small scowling child with a blonde cowlick and dangerous blue eyes. The flock called him, The Gasman. Grey found that name absurd. Why would someone find pride in a digestion problem? Grey would fix that as soon as he broke the boy. Unlike scientists at the school, Grey liked to think of these miracles as better then people. After all, Grey was one of the miracles.
Grey remembered how a month ago he grafted wings onto himself. It was excruciatingly painful, but it was worth it to be able to soar beyond man's reach. Others who have tried to reason with the group of six recombinant mutants were missing one vital advantage. Grey was like them. The others thought of the mutants as different, but Grey knew how they felt. This was the key point in reasoning with the African American member of the family.
He had broken her much easier then he had broken Angel. He had promised her that he would let her go to a school for normal people if she helped him. It was not technically a lie. Soon, every normal person would have wings so she would be normal. The part he had lied about was that none of the flock would get hurt even if they opposed him. Grey wasn't planning on any of the flock opposing him, but if they held out like Maximum he couldn't waste his time and money on recruiting them. He would dispose of them. The African American girl wouldn't care anymore though. She was on Grey's side now.
"What did you do to Nudge?" The boy asked, putting on a mask of bravery. Grey guessed that the boy's leader taught him how to do that.
"I did not harm her. It would not benefit me if I did seeing as she found reason and joined my cause." Grey explained, his British accent suave as usual. The young boy looked outraged and shocked.
"Liar!" He accused.
"If you wish I could prove it." Grey offered. The boy nodded hesitantly and Grey clapped his hands. Monique, as Grey wished to address her, walked in smoothly and stepped by Grey's side. The boy looked hurt, physically and mentally. Monique smirked at the nine year old and twirled in her purple dress.
"You could join her if you wish. No danger, food and shelter always at your disposal, clean clothes and people that won't desert you…" grey trailed off temptingly. They boy growled low in his throat.
"I'll never betray the flock you son of a…"
"Now, now. No need for profanity. I'm sure that you're sister wouldn't appreciate it." Grey interrupted. The boy was about to respond when a blonde haired girl in a purple dress was dragged out looking frightened. Monique took out a pocketknife and swiftly scraped Angel's stomach. Angel let out a whimper of pain and the boy struggled to get out of his dog crate. Grey smiled at the attempt. Everything was falling into plan.
"I could keep slashing your sister until she bleeds to death or you could join me."
"I thought you said you wouldn't hurt anyone who works for you." The boy countered.
"Angel here has broken out of the control I had on her. I have no use for her if it could happen again." Grey lied like a swindler. The boy sulked and a tear ran down his face at his failure.
"You win. Just let her go and I'll join you." Grey smiled crookedly at his deal and nodded to Monique to put the pocketknife away. She flicked it shut and repositioned the hair clip Grey had given her. The guards released the small girl and she took off running.
"Guards, Monique, would you be so kind to escort this young man to our allegiance room?" Grey asked. They nodded robotically and lightening quickly scooped him out of the crate. If only the boy knew that he had given up his control to save Angel 2 and not his actual sister.
