Okay, so it's been a while since my last update… Sorry bout that….
Don't own Maximum Ride or The Lime in the Coconut song

After Phoenix's failure to bring the Flock back with her, she had found solace doing her favorite activity, lighting things on fire. Phoenix was a huge pyro, and everyone knew it (except for the Flock, of course). She had a magazine of a certain Canadian born male pop star, and she was ripping it up and setting the pieces on fire individually. She really hated that guy, he reminded her too much of a lab experiment at one of the other labs.
What was that guy's name? Phoenix thought to herself. Derek, Don, Derpy, something starting with a "D"… Oh well, he'll probably never get let out of that lab…
The magazine was coming close to nonexistence when she heard a noise behind her. She sat on a rock near the river, so as to prevent a forest fire with her lighter. Over the sound of the river, she heard a cracking of branches. With a swift motion, she stood up, pulled a small explosive out of a pocket, and held her lighter to the fuse. Sparks started erupting out of the thin fuse, illuminating the dark, revealing a familiar face.
"Oh, hi Roc, I didn't see ya there." Phoenix said to the burly bird kid. She put the fuse in her mouth, extinguishing it, and slipped the explosive back in her pocket.
Roc merely nodded in reply, and looked behind her at the charred remains of the magazine. A smile crossed his face as he recognized the celebrity.
"Any news?" she asked.
He shook his head in reply. There was an awkward silence, but it was interrupted by the sound of an engine. The two cocked their heads to the side to pinpoint the sound. Roc whipped out his wings silently and took to the air to scout, as Phoenix ran a ways downriver to a clear part of the forest. There was a big black jeep barreling down the hillside, crushing bushes and young trees in its path. It's sides were pockmarked by pebbles and stones hitting the metal surface and the windshield, but the driver didn't stop. Behind it came two more jeeps, driving in the same manner as the first one. Phoenix immediately recognized them as the vehicles Erasers favored. Roc landed ten feet behind her, shaking out his wings before folding them into his spine.
"Erasers, damn, I hate those werewolf wannabees. Whaddya say, Roc? Wanna go smash some Eraser heads?"
Roc nodded in reply, and the started to run after the jeeps. Phoenix was able to catch up to one that had to back up, since it hit an especially thick patch of trees. With immense skill, she grabbed onto one of the sides, and pulled herself up and over, landing heavily on the roof of the jeep. Those inside didn't notice, because she had stayed in the blind spots, and they were paying closer attention to their prey. Phoenix crouched on the roof, swaying with the movements of the jeep to keep upright. After a quarter mile or more, the jeeps slowed drastically as they reached the Flock's encampment.
The Flock had scattered, taking to the air, except for Max and Fang, who were trying to frantically gather as much stuff as they could. Erasers in half morph filed out of the jeeps, converging on the two bird kids. Roc suddenly swooped in from nowhere, driving them back with his immense wings, forming a barrier between the Erasers and Max and Fang. Max and Fang used the diversion to gather the rest of the supplies and take to the air.
Meanwhile, Phoenix had climbed off the roof and then underneath the car. She started singing as she pulled out various explosive devices. "Brother bought a coconut he bought it for a dime. His sister had another one she paid it for a lime. She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them both up."
Max made one of her split second decisions, and swooped down, planting her feet firmly into an Eraser's face, sending him reeling backwards. Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel all came down to help Roc, who was struggling with the Erasers. There were just too many of them. Phoenix jumped on top of the other jeep that was parked farther away from the others, and started hollering.
"HEY! WOLVERINE WANNABEES!" she yelled at the top of her lungs. "KNOCK KNOCK!"
One of the Erasers actually replied. "Who's ther-"
The rigged jeep exploded midsentence. Phoenix jumped off of the jeep and ran over to Roc. "Heh, gets them every time."
"That was totally awesome!" Gazzy exclaimed, about to give Phoenix a high five, but Max stopped him.
The Erasers were all distracted by the exploding jeep, and were trying furiously to drive the other jeeps away from the flames. All Erasers left behind were badly injured or weren't moving.
"Why did you save us?" Max asked, marching up to Phoenix. "You betrayed us earlier."
"Actually, no I didn't. I offered you an offer, heh, and you tied me up with rope." Phoenix replied. "That and I don't like Erasers. No lab experiment from the School, or the Institute, or that place in Canada does. It's always good to have an excuse to get some payback…"

Alright, so I took some of Phoenix's stuff from a Deadpool comic, like her singing "Lime in the Coconut" while planting explosives. I thought it fit, so I put it in there.
Keep Calm and Sing Soft Kitty!
