Hello guys! Yay! I got some more reviews for that last chapter! And to all of you people that pay very special attention, I had accidentally switched Gazzy and Iggy for half of a scene. Whoops! I fixed it though, so no worries now.

Shout out goes to Chant de la lune hante ! Your reviews crack me up! Is that a bad thing since they always threaten me? Haha! Jk! :D

Anyway, ya'll are great. Thank you to those that continue to review for every chapter!

Random thought of the day: How many of you actually like Wake?

P.S. If you do like him, don't hate him for what happens at the end of this chapter! It's not his fault!

So, there is going lots of different POVs. Sorry if it's annoying. Is that annoying to you?


Max POV

And before I knew what I was saying... "Fine." I breathed out, finally reaching my breaking point. They'd been begging me to go to the local amusement park all morning and I just couldn't take one more 'please' from either of them. I mean, Nudge busted down the bathroom door in our hotel this morning while I was taking a shower just to continue her begging. Come, on! I was in the bathroom for crying out loud!

"Yay!" Nudge squealed and squished me in a hug. Angel ran off to get the others.

"Training first!" I called after her. She threw a thumbs up and I watched her blonde curls bounce out my bedroom door. I sighed, and Nudge let go. "We'll go down and train by the beach for an hour."

She nodded. "Thank you!" She leapt up and ran from the room to go after Angel.

When I was alone, I groaned and flopped backward on my bed. This awful change of events could only be made worse if Total were to suddenly show up and start critiquing me on my posture. He was like some kind of mother. I scrunched my eyebrows at the thought. He would make one really weird messed up mom. I could picture it now, Angel walking into school on Carrer Day with Total on a leash so the kids could ask what job he had. And Total would end up saying something like 'Lawyer, or Archeologist.'

I shook my head. What the Hell was I thinking? "It's official. I'm losing it." I said weirded out. I turned my head. "Do you think I'm losing it?" I asked the lamp on the night stand. I blinked, half expecting it to answer.

Well, at least it didn't say yes...

"Max," I jumped at the sudden voice, "are you talking to inanimate objects again?"

I turned my head to see Iggy standing in the doorway. "Yup."

He grinned as Gazzy walked up beside him. "Well, we wanna get going to the Park."

Gazzy laughed, and poked Iggy. "Since Iggy can see, he wants the experience of driving a car before he switches back."

I smiled at them. "Alright. Get the others into the air."


I explained my idea of Total being a mom to Fang on the way.

He laughed. "I was thinking," He said making a face, "I'm more closely related to Total now, since I have wolf DNA. And since that's true. Wouldn't Total be like some kind of domestic Eraser?"

"I guess." I said grinning at the thought. "An Eraser is part wolf, bird, and human. Total is part dog, bird, and human... Wow. The idea that Total is closely related to vicious fighting machines is-"

"Exactly!" Fang said, and we burst into laughter.

Slowly, we glided down to the cliff we'd stayed at when we first arrived in France. "Oh, God!" Nudge hissed. "Iggy! The ground is still black from... that unspeakable thing you did!"

"Be careful when lighting a match around here." I informed Wake. He gave me a confused look while Angel finished up my thought.

"His farts linger."

Now, Wake was disgusted.

"Okay!" Gazzy chirped. "Let's get this over with. Who's up first?"

After only a second's thought, I pointed to Iggy, and then at Fang. "You two."

Iggy grinned, and Fang's mouth dropped open. "No, way. You want me to fight with the walking methane? And he's probably got bombs all over him!"

I looked at Iggy as his grin faded. I held out my hand, curling my fingers to beckon him over. "Give them up." I said.

He bowed his head as he pulled an explosive from his sleeve. And then another. And another. By the time he pulled out a tenth from the same sleeve, my eyes were popping out of my head.

"Holy crap!" I said as he pulled out an eleventh. "How many do you have on you right now?"

His face reddened in embarrassment. "Two hundred."

I rolled my eyes. I should've expected that. I heard Wake whisper something that included the words 'not possible'. I slung my backpack around and dropped it in front of me while digging through it's contents. "Drop your clothes, and go put these on." I smiled, shoving a clean change of clothes at his chest.

He nodded. "I'll be back." He said seriously in the Terminator's voice, turning to leave.

I smirked. "Meanwhile-"

"You and Wake fight!" Angel squeaked excitedly.

I was about to protest when I heard Angel's thought's in my head. I found him and Nudge asleep together. Alone... She taunted.

"Sounds good to me!" I said, springing to my feet. I smiled a convincing smile while boiling on the inside. Nudge was becoming quite the rebel lately. My sweet innocent little rebel.

Wake stood up and smiled back at me, although, the look in his eyes told me he knew I wasn't happy. "What's wrong?" He mouthed the words silently as we circled each other. I shook my head, prancing to warm up.

"Go!" Angel squealed. I quickly lunged, faked a punch, and swiped my leg under him. As he fell back, his wings shot forward, and something latched onto my hair. My head was yanked down as he vaulted over my hunched form and he kicked my bottom, sending me onto my face. I spun around seething, muttering curse words under my breath. This kid was fast.

"How'd you do that?" Nudge asked, her face shocked along with the rest of the flock.

Wake held out his wing and wiggled the little posable thumbs at the top of it. "Bat wings." He smiled. "It's like having an extra pair of hands." Without pause, he lunged at me. I closed my eyes as I felt the weird tickle as he completely passed through me. He fell to the ground on the other side, unprepared to have to take on his own weight. He spun and went at me again, his fists went flying through me uselessly. He growled.

"Get her from behind!" The Gasman shouted out blindly.

"That won't work in this situation, Gaz." He said, his nostrils flaring. I started cracking up, enjoying myself way too much. "This isn't fair!"

"Life isn't fair!" I cooed, becoming unexpectedly solid and grabbing his fist during mid-swing. I flipped him over my shoulder. "So deal with it!" I put a foot on his chest and leaned down to his face. "Oh, and leave my baby girl alone."

Wake grinned and winked. "We'll see." With the reach of his wings, he reached up and tickled me with those awkward little thumbs. I laughed harshly, and he bucked me off. He rolled over and we stood up to faced each other.

I laughed when his fist passed through me again. "I'm calling this a tie!" He said spinning away from me in frustration.

I made an immature face at the back of his head.

"Fine." Angel said with a smile. "Iggy's back anyway, so Fang and him can fight."

Wake nodded curtly, and went to sit next to Nudge. She patted his arm soothingly, while he glared at the ground.

"Alright, Iggy." Fang mumbled. "Try to keep this fight stink-free, please."

Iggy grinned an impish smile that guaranteed trouble. "No promises."

"And, Go!" Angel shouted gleefully. And I had to agree with how into this she was. Watching each other fight was very entertaining. I mean, picture a WWE wrestling match, only ten times cooler, throw in some wings, and give them supernatural powers. See how awesome it is? Now that is a fight that you don't wanna miss.

Iggy, being himself, started throwing his voice around and screamed like one of Fangs fangirls off his blog. "Don't hurt me Fang! I love you! Like, totally Fly On and stuff!" Iggy laughed. "Please can you sign my - oof!" He was cut off by getting punched while pulling his shirt off.

"Stop playing around, Ig." I chided through my own laughter.

Iggy got up and spun a kick at Fang's chest. It sent Fang stumbling back. Iggy's eyes glazed over and he froze. Moments later Fang was charging full speed at him.

"I can see!" Iggy said, suddenly coming out of his stupor. And then, his face fell. "Oh crap."

Fang football tackled Iggy to the ground.

"I quit!" He yelled, punching Fang's chest.

"That's not allowed, Iggy!" Nudge said surprised.

"But I'm not Iggy!" He struggled against Fang. "Iggy and I just switched back!"

All our eyes turned toward the real Iggy now. He frowned. "Well, this is going to make driving a go cart a whole lot harder."


Would't-You-Like-To-Know POV

"So the one called Max has a new power, no?" The man in the dark robe asked.

I nodded.

"Well then, that just means one more weapon that could cause our little captive to escape." He turned back to the small Latino looking guy at the back corner of the shadowy room. "Max is scaring me." He said with false emotion, tracing the side of the barely conscious man's face.

"What do you want me to do about it?" I asked. I stood still, my eyes flicking over to the knife hanging from his belt. My eyes blinked in time with the rhythmic drip of water above our heads.

Master clucked his tongue. "Nothing." He purred. "Not yet. But for now, we can interrogate."

"I'll never help you." The prisoner spat.

"Suite yourself." The dark clothes in charge of me spun toward at me. "Go bring his family to me."

I bowed and turned to go.

"Wait!" The tan man screamed. "Leave Ella and Valencia out of this! I'll tell you everything I know!" I heard him struggle against his restraints. "Please! Wait!"

I continued until I heard the low whistle that my master used when he needed me. I walked back immediately. "Yes, sir?"

"Let's hear what he has to say." He smiled knowingly. I smiled back and nodded, while he turned with his knife pressed to Rodrigo's cheek. "Now tell me, Mr. Martinez, what do you know about Maximum Ride?"

The prisoners face went pale. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Let me help jog your memory." Master said. "She's your wife's eldest daughter. Ring any bells?"


Iggy POV

"Go carts!" I hissed at Max.

I could practically feel her glare. "I said no."

"Go carts, or I'm not cooking for a whole month." I decided. I heard gasps from all around me.

"What!?"

"No."

"Max, give him the freaking go cart!"

"Iggy!"

"Max!"

"You can do this to us!"

"Shut up!" Max breathed. It instantly got quiet. I heard her sigh silently to herself. "Fine. We'll go to the go carts, but I want the world's biggest chocolate chip cookie after this."

I fist pumped. "Deal." I held out my hand, and Gazzy grabbed it.

"I'm going to take Wake on a rollercoaster." Nudge said, pleading in her voice. "He's never been on one."

To my surprise, she actually told her yes. Nudge squealed, and her and Wake's foot steps faded away. Just as I was about to ask about it, I heard her whisper. "Angel, keep an eye on Wake."

"K." Angel responded. I heard her skip off.

I rolled my eyes.

"What?" Max gasped.

"You are being like those over protective dads in all of the Disney movies."

"Am not!" She argued like a kid.

I sighed. "Okay, whatever. Can we go now?"

Her answer made me smile.

"I'm too young to die."

Gazzy guided me to the race track. I could already hear the gasoline and rubber from all the way back in the line.

This was going to be great.


Nudge POV

"Cotton Candy?" He asked me.

I shook my head. "I'll puke on the ride."

He grinned. "Come on! I've heard the legendary stories about you eating nine Snickers Bars without barfing." He grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the cotton candy machine. "A little Cotton Candy isn't going to hurt you." I laughed as he dragged me along, starting to chant, "Eat it! Eat it! Eat it!"

I'm coming with you. Angel said in my head. I sighed and rolled my eyes. Iggy really wants to go on one of the speed track races. Putting the blind kid behind the wheel is scaring Max, so the rest of them are going with her. She wants me to keep an eye on you.

I looked over my shoulder at her and frowned. She gave me a huge smile and waved innocently. Please leave me alone. I thought back at her while Wake struggled with the do-it-yourself stand.

She shrugged happily as she came up and grabbed my other hand that Wake wasn't holding. Don't worry. It will be like I'm not ever here... as long as he doesn't try anything. Then I'll smash his head into the railing.

"Ahh!" Wake said as he pulled the paper cone up perfectly wrapped in candy, along with his entire arm. I giggled. He wiggled his fingers somewhere deep in the fluffy mass. The cotton moved. "Ah! It's alive!" He yelled, holding his arm as far away as possible and acting like he was shielding me from it. "Get back, beast! Before I tear you to shreds!"

"I beat you to it!" I said laughing so hard that I was snorting. I plucked a piece off his arm and ate it.

"Madam! You saved me!" He laughed while paying the cart man.

The cashier dude gave us a weird look and thanked us. I smiled back. I'd been given weirder glances.

I followed along as Wake dragged me to the next ride like a little kid. He had the goofiest face on as he stared at what was going to be his first-ever rollercoaster. "Woah." He said with his jaw dropping open.

I laughed and dragged him and Angel toward the entrance.

"Ma'am! Excuse me? Stop, please!" Someone called after me. I stopped and turned around to see a man in the park uniform. He brought over a wooden staff with height marks engraved into it. "Come here." He motioned at Angel. She walked over to him as he measured her against the rod. He tsked. She obviously was half a foot under the height minimum.

"I'm tall enough, sir." She said smiling. I cringed when I saw the man's eyes glaze over.

He nodded and straightened up. "Have a nice ride, Ma'am."

Angel twirled happily. "Thank you! You should really get back to your post. You don't want any kids under the height limit to get on."

His head quickly jerked up and down as he spun around walked back to his place.

I turned to walk forward again, but Wake's facial expression stopped me. "Are you okay?"

His eyes were bugging out of his head. "Will I know if she ever does that to me?" He blinked and continued to walk.

I didn't want to scare him, so I answered differently. "She wouldn't do that to you." I squeezed his hand reassuringly.

He groaned and threw his head back. "Sometimes I wish I didn't have the ability to tell when you're lying."

I face-palmed. I was an idiot to keep forgetting that he was a living lie detector. I bumped his shoulder with mine. "You'll be fine." I smiled and plucked another piece of candy from his arm. "Now help me eat the rest of this. I'm sure they won't let you on the ride with it."

He brought his arm up to his mouth and tore into it like a dog playing tug of war. Angel giggled while I laughed. Gradually we slipped into a conversation about the morning. Wake told a story about how he went to a party and crashed a Halloween costume contest. He won first, of course, right after he spread his wings. I went on to tell a story about Total's first bath. That one had us all cracking up.

"He was screaming like a woman!" I snorted.

"This is so inhumane!" Angel bared her teeth and gave her best Total impression. "I do not need to smell like cupcakes! Hey, give me back my manly stink!"

Wake snickered, and I pointed forward toward the line moving up. The girl in front of us stopped abruptly short and Wake walked into her as she bent down to pick up a dime.

"Hey!" She snapped, turning to immediately growl at me.

"We apologize." I said holding up my hands in surrender.

"Better be." She huffed and spun back around to continue walking.

I glared at the back of her head, hoping her tan skin and brown frizzy hair would suddenly catch fire. "Jeez," I breathed. "Rude much?"

Wake glanced at me confused. "I think I've met her before." He said tugging us forward too.

I grimaced at him. "I'm sorry about that." I muttered honestly while stuck out my bottom lip. It would've been hard to forget the girl's eyes. They were bright blue, maybe the color of stained glass in the sunlight.

When we came up behind her again, Wake was staring at a scar on the back of the her arm. He leaned forward. "Kazin?" He asked, squinting at it like it was a book with words too small to read.

The girl turned around with an angry look on her face. When her gaze rested on Wake, her blue eyes widened as big as the moon. "WAKE!" She practically screeched like an owl. She threw her arms around him, and before I knew it, her lips were smashed against his. Her eyes fluttered closed in bliss. I blinked with shock before his grip on my hand loosened... and dropped.


(Shields Wake protectively) Don't hurt him! He didn't do anything wrong! She just laid one on him!

Nudge is clearly going to be upset.

And wait. Did we just find out that Ella's dad really is alive? The Voice wasn't lying about that?

And... Iggy may be developing a new power soon. Just say'n...

Review maybe?
