United (a Percy Jackson/Maximum Ride story)

Percy's Got Powers?

Wooooo! 100 people who read my story! Yay! Thanks a lot guys.

M  A  X  POV

I fought back tears as X was dragged into the room. He was caked in blood and hung limp at the Eraser's side. His orange shirt, which wasn't clean to begin with, was hanging by a thread off his shoulder. There were deep cuts all over X and he didn't look to be awake. As the Eraser chucked him into the crate I heard Nudge gasp and Angel let out a  shaky breathe. X landed into the cage next to mine and didn't move. "Angel, try to read his mind." I whispered, turning my head to face Angel. She nodded slightly and concentrated on X's broken body. "He is alive, but he's unconscious so I couldn't get too much. I only understood that his name is Percy" she said. I sighed with relief and turned to the flock. Fang caught my gaze and raised and eyebrow at me. I did the same until I heard a small giggle coming from Angel.

"What?" I asked her. Now she was cracking up, tears streaming down her face. "DON'T TELL!" Nudge huffed, her face red with embarrassment, which meant Angel read Nudge's mind. Angel knew something that we didn't. "What did she think?" Gazzy asked Angel with an excitement I haven't seen in a while. "Nudge." Angel said gasping for air. "Nudge. *laugh*. Thinks. *laugh*. Percy. Is CUTE!" Angel spit out still laughing. Now Nudge was a shade of ruby red trying to hide her face. "Oh come on Nudge, that's not that embarrassing!" I said trying to be the help full leader I am, but had no such luck and I snickered. In a few minutes the whole flock was laughing, even Nudge.

Then laughter stopped abruptly when we heard a yell coming from the cage next to me. Percy shifted yelling again and I could practically feel the worry radiating from Nudge. "Percy!" I whispered and he shot up looking around the room.

P  E  R  C  Y  POV

Crash! a huge bolder smashed in front of me and I immediately knew where I was. I was in Tartarus. Annabeth was in front of me calling my name for help, she looked like she was a ghost. "Annabeth!" I called but my voice would not work. She stumbled around bumping into something really big. I try to run to her but I look down and find my feet stuck in quick sand. Soon I start sinking very quickly, I try my voice again but it still won't work. Now there is only my head left. I close my eyes, as the big figure stabs Annabeth...

"Percy?" a concerned voice snaked through my nightmare, and I sit up and look around to find the flock staring at me.

All of a sudden a wave of pain hit me, it felt like a ran into a burning wall then got beat up by a drakon. I curl up into a ball holding my head, not caring who sees me. I whimper and the pain fades a little but it was still massive.

"Percy?" Max's voice hits me making my ears ring. 'Her voice is so loud!' I think but even that hurt.

I looked at her, my eyes pleading to help me. She looked at be and I smelled something strange, like rain, moss, and soggy paper. Worry. I don't know how but I knew what that smell was, she was worried about me!

"Percy, what did they do?" Max's voice washed over me making me feel a little better, it was no longer booming. I whimpered in response, as if to say I was hurt but alive. I opened my eyes to see Max and the Flock. I jumped back as far as I could go, pressing against the side of my crate.

"What did they inject you with?" Max's voice came to me again.

So I slowly sat up, trying to recall the recent events.

They dragged me into another lab again, and placed me on a silver lab table. You know, the normal routine. This time a lady about 30, came in. She had light brown curly hair down to her shoulders, freckles, and glasses. I assume she was shorter than me and seemed to be really nervous. I wonder if she's new here. "Hi I'm Cally, I'm new here." she pronounced happily in a high pitched voice, like she took in a breath of helium. Cally jumped up and down around the table like a five year old waiting for the bathroom. "So, we have been giving you physical tests and we are going to try a new type of Erasers." I must have looked confused because she giggled and said, " Oh, those are the canine hybrids. What we are testing you with is a different type of wolf DNA! OK Sunshine?" "Don't call me Sunshine!" I growled as she started writing on her clip board. "Aw. But its CUTE." Ugh. Cute, I'm sick of it. "Take cute and stick it where the sun don't shine." I mumble, not loud enough for her to hear. "So Sweetie, Doctor Ferr will be your doctor, as I will only observe. He should be here soon!"

No longer than 5 minutes a short stocky man waddled into the room. He had pale blotchy skin and a light brown comb over. His thick round glasses sat on the bridge of his over sized nose. This man was a MESS!

"Just one thing Snot." Callus said in disgust. "I told you it's SCOTT!" the man whined pushing his glasses up to his eyes. "Whatever Snot. Just don't sneeze on him, O now you have that weird virus." Cally growled. "I told you! Its a Parvovirus but this one only infects humans! Not cross bred species!" he whined yet again, "Yahoo but Parvovirus is also a dog disease, and he would be half human half wolf..." Cally trails off, "Just don't sneeze Snot!" Cally quipped, seeming to be very frustrated
"But ill be quick I have some stuff to do at home, yeah that's right o have things to do!" Scott looked proud about that, Im going to go out on a limb and say he's got NO life whatsoever! As Cally leaves the room Scott smiles evilly at me, holding up a syringe filled with yellow liquid, a 4 inch needle at the. end. "Now lets just inject.... ahhhh ahhhh achooo!" Scott said giving me the shot while sneezing on my arm in the place he gave me the shot. THAT'S SO GROSS! I shuddered as an angry Cally stormed into the lab yelling at Scott and managed to push him out the door. "Now lets see if you got the weird virus no one knows how to cure." she mummbled holding a grey stick over my arm. After a few seconds it flashed red and Cally looked really scared. "What?" I whispered and she stared at me like I was an alien.

Soon she wheeled me into a small bright room and pushed me into another crate. "STAY!" she shouted like I was a dog, and strangley I felt like I was to obey her every command. As Cally stomped out of the room, I started to feel weird, as if my whole body had just started to work overtime. Just thinking I was tired I huddled in a corner trying to fall asleep. Just as I was about to fall asleep, searing pain shot through my body, electrocuting me. I felt my body shake uncontrollabley and my temperature dropping and rising rapidly. Closing my eyes, the pain almost became unbearable, but I heard a soft click and it all dissapeared. It all went away like someone pushed a button and turned off the pain. Maybe I was having an allergic eeation to the stuff ? No, who am I kidding?

BOOM! Cally burst in, an assistant at her side waiting for a command. The assistant was short and looked about 17. She had dark long hair and dazzling green eyes. She hid behind Cally peeking out ever so slightly.

Alright, X time for a test...

"That's it?" Max asked me. I shook my head, "It was really fuzzy, but I remember getting zapped a lot, and doing a lot of physical things like climbing and running. It really hurt, at times I can remember clearly and my senses are wild but then they dull again soon after..." Max stared at me. "So does that mean you have wolf powers?" Max asked me. I shrugged wincing as a sharp pain embedded itself in my arm. "I really don't know!
