YAY! I got this chapter finished! So as an apology for taking forever last time a new chapter...

I don't own Maximum Ride.

Rebel's POV

I closed my eyes as I stood in the washroom of the restaurant, leaning against the sink and letting out a big sigh.

"Another day gone by with no news from the flock." I mutter as I look at myself in the mirror. "Who am I kidding, they're never going to be able to help me. We're all screwed."

I opened the faucet and let the water pour down my hands. "You know, usually when people talk to themselves it's a sign to call the loony bin but after all you've been through I don't question it."

I turned around, surprised that someone was able to sneak up on me. "Don't do that JJ. I don't like people sneaking up on me."

I turned back around, knowing she was still behind me. "It's okay to miss him, you know."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Come on, at least admit that you love him and get it over with." She muttered.

"It won't make a difference, will it? I'm never going to see him again." I shut off the water and turned to face her. "Just leave it be."

"Why don't you just tell any of us what happened back in Virginia? Why wasn't the mission successful?" The worry in her voice was obvious.

"I told you already, the Director ordered us to return so we didn't get to complete the mission. Now if you'll excuse me we should get going." I walked past her and was about to open the door when I stopped as a thought occurred to me. "Do you think you'll ever see them again, your family?"

She smiled. "I like to think so. The same way I think you'll get your happily ever after with Iggy."

I smiled at her, my mood livening because of that one thought. "Thanks."

Both JJ and I walked over to the cashier to pay for our food. I took out my money as the girl behind the counter stared at me.

"Um yes?" I asked her when it started to get awkward.

She finally noticed she was staring and shook her head. "Sorry, it's just. Aren't you Ivory Flinn?"

I raised an eyebrow. "Depends, who's asking?"

"It's just that I heard that the CMS was going to ask Ivory's band Wykkyd Angels to perform at one of their rallies in Arizona where the flock will make their first appearance in two years, with the new members and you look a lot like her." She tried to explain.

I mentally groaned as JJ butted in. "They're going to finally come back?"

The girl nodded. "Yes, but they haven't set the date yet. They're still trying to prepare everything so I wanted to know if it was true."

JJ turned to me. "Why didn't you tell me? This is huge, huger than our school concert!" She squealed.

"Because I hadn't heard either, although now I know why my friends keep insisting we take a gig." I muttered.

"So you are her?" The girl asked. "I was planning on going there if it's true."

I nodded and extended my hand. "Yeah, I'm her. Nice to meet you…"

She shook my hand. "I'm Ebony Benjamin. So if it's true will you do it?" She asked excitedly.

I shrugged. "Not up to me. But if it gets the flock to come I'm all for it." And I get to see Iggy again.

"Aren't you the leader of the band?" She asked.

"Yeah, but I don't get to make all the decisions without their consent." She handed me my change and I placed it in my back pocket. "But I wouldn't worry too much about it considering they love the flock."

She smiled. "That's great, can't wait till then."

I nodded and gave her a smile of my own. "Nice meeting you Ebony."

"You too." I turned to leave as JJ followed me.

"You have a band? Wait, what? Omg you're going to get to see the flock this is great!" She squealed.

"No, it's not." I deadpanned.

"What are you talking about?" She asked me.

"JJ I'm not supposed to have any contact with them, like at all." I sighed and rubbed the back of my neck. "This is just a pain."

"Look they said for Isis to stay away from the flock, the flock doesn't know Ivory. And it'll be a little suspicious if you're the only person trying to avoid the flock…" She placed a hand on my shoulder. "Besides, you said it's up to your band right?"

I nodded. "I guess you're somewhat right. I just need to think this all through."

JJ smiled at me and gave me a thumbs up. "Why don't you take some time off and we'll keep on working, we'll just be a phone call away."

I bit my lip. "I don't know…" Just as I was about to continue my cell phone rang and I checked the caller id to see it was her, the director.

I sighed and put the phone to my ear. "Yes mam?"

"I need to speak to you, meet me in the park one block away from where you're currently at."

I nodded. "Okay, see you there."

I shut off the phone and looked at JJ. "You're in charge, stay on him."

She nodded and gave me a sympathetic look. "Good luck."

I sighed and turned, heading for the door.

I walked over to the park bench and waited for her, thinking about what she could possibly want to talk about. IN PERSON.

She could have just contacted me through telepathy, even if I do hate it.

I growled as I sensed her approach and turned to make sure she was alone.

She approached me with her head held high and walking straight to me. I didn't bother to stand up but looked the other way as she approached. "Good evening, Isis."

"What was so important that you had to come all the way here to talk to me?" I asked, getting straight to the point.

She sighed but didn't lecture me about manners. "It has come to my attention that the flock is planning on making a comeback. And that you've made a band who is supposed to perform with them. I just wanted to make it clear to you that you cannot under any circumstances reveal yourself to them."

"I'm pretty sure you didn't come all this was just for that, so what's the real reason?" I tilted my head to the side and faced her as she sat beside me.

She sighed and put her hand in her pocket. "I wanted to give you this." She placed a small necklace in my hand. "For Regina."

"What is it for?" I asked, turning is around in my palm.

"Considering you're going to be near the flock and Regina isn't trained in hiding her thoughts as you and Dusting are this here will disrupt the thoughts so Angel and Jeagar can't hear them. Sadly it also hides her thoughts from you." She explained.

"Okay, so is that it? Can I get back to my friends now?" I asked her, sounding irritated.

"One more thing, if any of the flock find out who you are we will not regret to get rid of them and your team. I hope you understand that this is putting everyone in danger."

I snorted. "No shit Sherlock, I know what's at risk. You don't have to remind me every time we talk to each-other."

She chuckled. "I see your attitude hasn't changed much."

"I guess it hasn't." I muttered, crossing my arms.

"I understand you miss them but this is what was meant to happen." She placed what was supposed to be a comforting hand on my shoulder.

I pushed her hand off and stood. "Go to hell." Without another word I walked away, not bothering to look behind me.

I didn't go back to the restaurant but instead chose to take a walk, I told JJ there were things I needed to think about and I wasn't lying.

So again sorry for the last time, I'm actually going to try to finish this story before I continue with my others.

MyNameIsNot - Hellz no, the show will still be continued this month on the 16th but the real new episode will air on the 23rd. For my summer reading I had to read of Mice in Men which turned out to be a bit interesting but I would have rather read other books I actually like. Yes I am a Freshman but I have all Pre-Ap classes that will soon kill me. THERE'S TOO MUCH HOMEWORK! I said Rebel was 15? Oh yeah... I'll fix that thank you for telling me. And I'll update a new chapter on Tuesday also but in the afternoon like at 3 or 4 depends if I have homework or not. :)

XXXxSmIlEyMe123xXXX- That must really suck, thankfully I haven't gone through that but I'm still horribly sad. Turns out I have no classes with my friends, and they want to change my classes JUST WHEN I'M GETTING USED TO THIS LAYOUT! It sucks that I know almost no one in my classes. And again the homework point, my mom threatened to take away my computer if I don't keep my grades up. Grrr, she knows I'll do great but it still makes me mad that she threatens ME when she should be threatening my little brother with his video games because he sucks at school! As for the show, you can see it online too. I recently started watching it after I heard Robin was in it :D the only good part of my summer.

As for all my reviewers I know you people want some Iggy action but be patient, he will come along with the flock in a couple more chapters!

For now review!

PS I have a link of how I imagine Rebel to look throughout the story in my profile, at the bottom with all other links, check it out!
