I still don't own Max Ride or the merry flock L however, I own golden and nudge J back to golden's pov

I blinked my eyes open. My side was wrapped in gauze, and I was wearing an unfamiliarly warm shirt that smelled like Iggy. Speaking of Iggy, he was stroking my forehead with his long, cool hand. Aw, man, he wasn't wearing a shirt either.

"Iggy? Where am I? Where's Henrietta? Are you alright? Am I alright? Where's the rest of the –"

"Shh. Everything's fine. We're at a river 'bout a mile away from the campsite. Your side is all cleaned up and I taped up your ribs. You seem to be feeling better," he said and smiled that perfect smile that made my heart flop.

I sat up. I was in a tiny clearing near a rushing stream. I was wearing Iggy's shirt. "I am," I replied, a bit fuzzily but gradually awakening. "Is your wrist better?"

"Not yet, but if you work your magic on it, it will," he smiled, followed by a suggestive wink. I grabbed his wrist and concentrated a moment. I felt the bones go back into place. Luckily, it had been a clean break.

"Be careful next time, you bad little boy." I kissed him on the cheek. I waited to see his reaction, the slightest bit nervous for what it might be.

It was perfect. He kissed me full on the mouth and I kissed him back, passionately and sweetly. His hands slipped around my waist and pulled me in closer. It was paradise. I was lost in his strong arms, our wings drifting out behind us. I could just let go, just enjoy the moment for once in my messed up life.

It was interrupted by a sweet, maniacal giggling from up above us.

"Max and Fang haven't even gotten this far!" Angel's voice floated down from the huge pine tree that's right above us.

Iggy broke away from me and started making threats to Angel under his voice. He opened his huge white gold-flecked wings and flew up into the tree where she was perched, his anger practically spewing from his ears. Her "innocent" eyes were as big as saucers.

"You little girl! What the hell were you doing? You're gonna pay, little devil!"

"Aw, Iggy! I couldn't sleep an' I was just coming down here to get some water from the stream!"

"Okay, Ange. I'll forgive you this once if you don't spill it to Max and Fang,"

"I promise I won't! I'll be a good little girl, I swear!"

He fell for it and dropped off of the tree. "Why the hell are you falling for it? She's playing you, idiot!" I scolded under my breath.

"She made those Bambi eyes! Not even Max can resist them," he explained.

"Yeah, right. I was once the master of Bambi eyes. I know how to resist. You just have to be coldhearted. How can you feel them, anyway?"

"She projects it into my mind, okay!"

"Jeez you guys are softies!" I scolded, but I was smiling.
