I don't remember what exactly happened because there was so much that happened so please don't shun me XD
Fang and Nudge are great; they really helped me get back up on my feet. And let me tell you, they were like miracle workers when they fixed my arm and leg. It was pretty painful though, how they literally had to pull the bolts of lead out of both my limbs. I'm not even going to go into that.
"There," Fang said reassuringly as he wrapped a bandage around my arm.
"You'll be as good as new in a few days. Since we're mutants our bodies heal much faster than a normal human." He finished and lightly patted the wound, which was now held tightly together by a thick layer of medical tape.
I slowly sat myself upright and rested my back against the cave wall. It was pretty awkward now, since Fang took the bullets out of my arm and leg Nudge had been completely silent. I hadn't known her long but I could definitely tell that "Shutting up" wasn't really her style. I glanced over at Fang; he was perched up and crouched down on the ledge that guarded the cave entrance, calmly staring off into the distance.
I started to tap my fingers lightly on the stone flooring before finally breaking the silence. "Are there any more like you guys...err...us?"
I hoped I didn't sound too anxious to hear answer, because I was dying to know for whatever strange reason. There was a long pause, and I was beginning to think that I had just brought back a painful memory to both of them. Then Fang finally spoke.
"We're waiting for our leader, Max, she saw something while we were flying and went down to help, but it sure is taking her an awful long time to get back." He explained. His voice almost sounding irritated, as if Max always did stuff like that and ended up getting into trouble. But I didn't dare go into it further. Then Nudge finally spoke, which surprised me.
'There's also The Gasman and Iggy. Gazzy is eight and likes to get into trouble. He has a younger sister, Angel, who is six. We were on our way to rescue her since she was captured by these huge, mean wolf man people we call Erasers. They're not really nice, and they're so annoying since they never quit following us! Oh yeah, and Iggy is the same age as Fang, except hes blind, but don't ask him about it he'll get annoyed." She gave me a big, innocent smile, but I barely noticed since I was too busy trying to process everything she just said.
I guess Fang noticed the dumbfounded look I had on my face and said, "Don't worry about it, I'll explain more later." Then went back to looking at...whatever it was he was looking at. Curious, I scooted over to the front of the cave and looked up into the sky. Two big, bird-like figures came into view, flying fast straight toward us. I barely had time to realize what was happening until Nudge jumped to her feet and ran to the foot of the cage shouting.
"Iggy! Gazzy! Oh my gosh, how did you find us?" She shouted excitedly, jumping up and down.
Perfect timing.
Sorry this took so long to put up, I kind of got a little bit of writers block XD
