Sage's POV
Before I'd gotten half way to the ground, Gazzy had grabbed half the gas station burritos and wolfed them down like nobody's business.
I grabbed myself a bag of Cooler Ranch Doritos and a twenty oz. bottle of Coke. Iggy joined me again in my tree.
"So," he began, "tell me about you."
"Well, I can only remember as far back as two, maybe three years old. But it was awful. I remember seeing other mutants die in cages right next to mine. What a suckish way to go. The Erasers used to tease me, like I was a dog or something. God, I hated it."
"I know what you mean."
"And apparently there was something 'extra special' about me. Some thing about my wing structure, I think. But my situations a bit like yours, but different."
"Then I guess we can relate!"
I giggled and watched Iggy wolf down the rest of his sub, fries, and soda.
A gust of cold air came through, and I shivered. Iggy spread his wings around me to keep me warm.
I felt Iggy stroking my hair, and before long I was deeply asleep.
Iggy's POV
For a starving bird kid, Sage didn't eat much. Just a bag of chips and soda.
We needed 3000 to 4000 calories a day, and that was barely 400.
I asked about her a bit, and her story kind of resembled mine. No clue where our parents were and so on.
She laughed at something I said. Must be the Iggy charm. Ha-ha!
It got a bit chilly out so, of course, she shivered. I wrapped my wings around her to keep her warm.
Then I began involuntarily stroking her hair, and she fell asleep.
I heard Gazzy snickering not so far away, and Max giggled.
"Some one's found their significant other" she said teasingly.
"She's pretty nice, but I barely know her! Now, you and Fang, that's a romantic couple right there."
"Oh shut up Ig"
"Just being as observant as a blind boy can be!"
Max cackled a bit before falling silent.
"Iggy, I'll take the first watch, okay? Actually the whole watch considering you need to watch your girlfriend," Fang said.
"What ever"
And with that I fell asleep.
