"Did you just...Admit you were wrong? Who are you and what have you done to the real Max??" Iggy accused.
"Don't be stupid, Igg! It's still me!" Max snapped at him, "I'm just... taking responsibility as a leader and admitting my faults!"
"Ok, Ok." Iggy held up his hands in surrender.
"Now," Max continued. "We came here on a mission and I think it's high time we carry on with it!"
"Hear, hear!" Gazzy agreed.
"So lets get back in the air and get our feathery butts to Ohio!" Gazzy snorted at Max's choice of words and launched himself into the air to follow her. The others soon following her lead with you at the rear.
* * *
You could immediately tell when you entered Ohio. The humidity was heavy, even where you were, high up in the clouds.
"Ugh! Why oh why couldn't i have stayed in Illinois?" You heard Total complain. "I'm going to die here. I just know it!"
"Total," Fang said. "Stop whining."
"Oh I see. You don't care about me. I have this thick black furry coat! Ever take that into account??"
"Total, I will drop you." Fang threatened.
"No you won't!!" Angel flew up to Fang. "You leave him alone!" Total stuck his tongue out at Fang and yelped as Fang momentarily loosened his grip on him.
"Alright gang! We'll be dropping down in Tiffin right about....now!" Max said as she tucked her wings in and dropped towards the Earth.
You folded your wings flat against your back and started to drop, your stomach rising into your throat, the wind pressing your hair to your face and whipping it behind you. You smiled as you watched the ground rush towards you, the tiny pinpricks of buildings slowly growing larger. Spreading your wings back out when you saw Max do it, you trailed her, flying in big circles above an open field.
When Max gave the signal, you followed the flock, diving and touching down on the ground, running to keep your balance, trying to fix your wind-swept hair.
"Alright, time for the game plan! School starts in five hours, so we'll wash up as best as we can, put our nicest clothes on, and walk right in! Try to blend in and make your ways, separately, to the basement of the school! Total, you're gonna have to stay behind. We'll find a place for you. Gazzy, you stick with Angel and Nudge, Iggy, you're with (Y/n), and Fang is with me."
"Surprise, surprise." Gazzy muttered and the kids snickered. Max stuck her tongue out at them.
"Where the heck am I supposed to stay?" Total whined.
"We'll figure that out later." Max told him. "So, The little kids will head right to the bathrooms and wait until the hallways are clear. Iggy, (Y/n), you two will find an empty classroom and wait there till all is clear and then we will all make our ways to the entrance to the basement at different times. Try to look casual because theres bound to be cameras!"
"Where will you and Fang go?" Iggy asked.
"We'll find an empty hallway or something." Max said, waving the question away. "After the hallways are clear and everyone is in their first classes, Fang and I will enter the basement and find somewhere to hide down there until Angel, Gazzy, and Nudge come down at the start of the next class. Iggy, (Y/n), you two will have to wait the longest. Get to the basement after the third class starts." Max instructed.
"Why don't we all go at the same time?" Gazzy asked.
"Because that will look too suspicious on the camera's. Once we're all in the basement, we'll spread out and look for the experimentation room. If anything goes wrong on the way to the basement...well, fight and take flight and wait for the rest of us here!"
"Thats a terrible plan, Max.." Fang said.
"Well lets hear your plan, then!" Max challenged. Fang didn't answer. "Ya, thats what I thought. Alright," she turned to address everyone again. "let's go find a place to wash up!"
(A/n): Okie-Dokie! There you go, my faithful followers! I hope you enjoy this! ...See ya :)!
