Forest's POV

Of course, their first approach of action was to figure out the location of Itex. It's interesting how they believe that Itex was in China. China was a rising country, but I wouldn't expect it to develop as much to be able to discover human experimentation. I wish I could help the flocks, but I was left in this place to rot. I can't recall any memories of my life in a company named Itex or associated with it because the company that I originated was an unnamed territory in my mind. So, I am pretty much useless in acting as a guide for them in this area since I usually spend most of my time in the forest.

I looked down from my tree to see the flocks preparing breakfast with plain granola bars and simple snacks. I'm glad I got that midnight snack to avoid any morning hunger. Closing my eyes, I felt the slight vibrations traveling around the area from the active movement. Vibrations soon roused from the trunk to call for my attention. I glance down to see Arrow and Max standing near the tree's roots. I grimaced at the thought of being questioned again.

I jumped from my branch to the ground, facing the two leaders and waited for their comments on my presence.

Max stepped in first, "Get one thing straight: We don't trust you. No offense, but we will be very careful with you. Angel all ready searched you and we still haven't found any troubles."

"Also, like we said before, you will be charge of yourself, so don't depend on us for your needs unless it is an emergency," Arrow continued.

Max nodded in support to the previous statement and started, "If you have any information, we will find out sooner or later. We have an active mind reader that can read your mind at any time, so don't even try to find anything."

"Also, we won't hesitate in attacking you at the first sign of betrayal. If you attack any of our members for whatever reason, you will probably not survive. We have an advantage in numbers, so don't even try it," Arrow finished.

I won't lie, but at that last point, both leaders seem to want to rip me in pieces. Maybe it was my imagination when I saw that reaction, but I actually felt shaken. I could guaranteed you that they knew about the immense fear they aroused with their speech because they had hidden smirks behind their superiority aura. I nodded and used the line that I would always use with the scientists or 'White coats', "I understand."

Both leaders analyze me with a critical eye and left to their flocks. A breath was released from my lungs. If that wasn't pressuring, I don't know what was.

"Okay, where are we going?" a guy asked, umm… Indigo? Dang, I forgot their names.

"We will be going to the center of China's government. Fang told me that this country is based on 'equality', so the only source of any human experimentation would be from the government's laboratory. The only system that can obtain any money," Max said.

Half of the group turned to Arrow for her opinion. She nodded to show her approval of the plan and the rest of group returned to listen to Max's instructions that she received from the Voice to get to the building. Next, they decided the battle approach. I had building patrol, or watchdog. Lucky me.

Arrow's POV.

Indigo used his telekinesis to turn all video cameras away from us so we could get in without being seen, the next trouble was getting past the fingerprint locks. Nudge touched the side of it, while Angel read her mind; then Angel morphed her fingerprint into another one, and touched her thumb to the glowing scanner. It beeped, and we walked in. Then I had my job of making us all look like scientists. We walked in quietly, and pretended to talk about complicated things, Iggy knew some useful chemicals and we talked about what would happen if we injected a 'experiment' with it. But, as soon as we got into the room they kept all the mutants in, we unlocked the cages. Angel managed to calm all of them down convincing them that we were also kids and mutants, and then she told them that we needed to fight the scientists, rebel. I made us look like ourselves again. I put myself in battle mode, but Iggy, Gazzy and Raven screamed for us to run. Then it was all screams and stomping feet from there. As soon as everyone was out, their bomb exploded. I was sent flying, I tried to unfurl my wings, but they wouldn't obey me, debris slashed open my skin. Then a chunk of rock hit my head. The last thing I remember was immense pain, then blackness.

I woke in a soft bed, in a white room. My first thought was 'The School' but then I realized that this was a hospital, not a lab. My right arm, and my left leg were both in casts, my head was also in bandages. I heard someone snoring next to me. I turn my head slightly. It was Bullet. How long was I out?

"Bullet!" I whispered. I flicked his knee with my good arm.

He jolted awake. "Arrow. Thank god you're awake. The doctors thought you were never going to come out of your coma, but I knew better." He winked, but I was too shocked to smile.

"Coma? How long was I out?"

"Two weeks." Hmm... That meant my arm had to be healed by now.

"Where is everybody?"

"We had to book into a hotel."

"Can I see them?"

"I'll call them." He took out his mobile, and dialed a number. "Hi, it's Bullet. Arrow's awake. She wants to see you guys… Yep… Okay bye!"

They were by my bedside in a matter of six minutes. I did a head count. There was everyone from my flock, apart from Raven. And, to my surprise, Fang was with us.

"Where are the others?"

Indigo spoke up. "We got separated. You were the only one to get hurt."

Robin handed me something. It was a gold ring that had an arrow on it (A/N: I have a picky of it on my profile in Arrow's Outfit).

"Thank you so much! It's beautiful." I ruffled her hair. Then I spoke to Bullet. "Do the doctors know, about our you-know-what?"

He nodded. "You had a serious cut across your middle." I felt the bandages, under my hospital gown. I read the plastic bracelet on my wrist. "Dakota Drummings?" I read out loud.

Bullet grinned. "We had to think of something fast, and I happened to like the drums."

"Do you think you could get a doctor to take off my casts?"

"Sure, you want eggs with that, m'lady?"
