"So now what?" I asked Jeb, after giving the other white coats with him a look over I realized they were the same ones who had came into my work a couple days ago.
"Now we get what flock members we can and fight back" he replied "we have to stop the school, we have to end what's going on" he looked very serious.
"You mean we get all of the flock" I said firmly. "I'm not leaving any of my family behind. Not while I'm still alive and kicking" I was serious. I would never abandon a single member of my flock. Ever.
"Well there's a problem Max. We don't have any information on Fang or Angel" and he held up the papers from the envelope.
"What?" I yelled at him snatching the papers out of his hands. "This can't be happening! What do we do? I need my entire flock, no one is getting left behind!" I was looking through the papers over and over again but always being the same three faces. Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy but where was Angel? Where was Fang? How would I survive without him? He's my beta, my right wing, my second in command.
"What do I have to do go get their information?" I asked, bracing myself for whatever answer he was about to give me.
"Unfortunately I have no idea where their locations are, but I do know how to find them. We're re grouping at our old house Max, then we're going for the school." he looked grim, this must be pretty bad if Jeb had turned over a new leaf.
"Aren't we going to get Iggy? Or Gazzy and Nudge?" I asked, when I finally realized we were flying in the opposite direction of Georgia.
"We have already administered the drugs that will awaken their senses, and left a recording for them to know where we will be." relieved that I would get the chance to see my family again I slumped over in a chair next to me.
"So what is the plan? Do we just like... Storm the school?" I had no idea what had been happening as far as I knew when we were on the run the school was collapsing. But I guess now it's stronger than ever.
"That may have worked when you had to save Angel a couple years back Max but not anymore. The entire place has been fortified. There are guards everywhere." Oh yeah, that reminded me.
"If you became a saint then why was Ari trying to kill me?" As soon as the worse came out of my mouth I regretted them. He winced and a painful expression crept onto his face.
"We saved a lot of experiments the day we left, but Ari didn't make it out. All of the erasers were brainwashed as word of an uprising within the school spread." He paused for a minute, trying to get his bearings. I actually pitied him for a second, then I remembered what he did to us and that quickly slipped away.
"The erasers were the schools main line of attack against us and no matter what we did they wouldn't stop coming until we were forced to retreat. Now our base is in our old house, where whitecoats and mutants live together, plotting our return to the school. Now we have the last piece of the puzzle Mazimum, you."
"Me? Why me? I just want my family back together." I was dumbfounded by this, I don't know why I was 'the chosen one' why I had to save the world, why I was needed to lead this resistance. Nothing ever made sense anymore.
"Because you are a leader, you inspire people, every single mutant that has been in the school knows your name. The girl that escaped, who saved five other mutants alongside her. They all look up to you for guidance, to make the right decision." Woah... this was getting deep for me, I mean I'm only 17 for peets sake!
"I don't know if I can be their leader, Or make the right decisions. But I do know I will do whatever it takes to save my family and every mutant I can. So whatever I can do I guess I'm in it for the long haul." I sighed when I saw the smug look on Jebs face, as if he knew I would have to say yes. Ugh, this was going to be a long ride.
