A.N. this is my first fanfic so try not to hate it too much. Although constructive criticism is welcome.

I do not own Maximum Ride or Percy Jackson

Max POV

We were just taking a scenic stroll around the Long Island area. Well a scenic fly, but same thing for us. In case you are confused, allow me to explain: me and my friends, we have wings. I don't mean wings you would see on cupid in a Valentine's Day card. I mean an 8 to 14 foot wing spans.

Any who, I bet you're wondering what we were doing around Long Island. I blame Angle. She was the one that had wanted to go to New York in the first place. Then our cover got blown when we had to fight (and fly away from) a group of about 30 Erasers, which sucked. So we decided to stay in the area to figure out why there were so many so far from the School.

We had been flying for about 30 minutes when, I swear to God, I saw a column of fire shoot up out of the woods out of the corner of my eye. I whipped around to look, but I couldn't see any sign of a fire. Not even a scorch mark.

Angel turned towards and said "There's no fire Max. The rest of us would have seen it too." That's right, I forgot to mention. Angel can read minds.

"Well I wouldn't have seen anything", Iggy put in.

"That's 'cause your blind Iggy" the Gasman replied.

"It was nearly behind us and I was in the back", I said.

Fang just rolled his eyes and asked "What fire?"

"Max thought she saw a column of fire shoot out of the woods" answered Angel.

Nudge looked at me funny and said "I think Max is overly stressed"

I glared at her and said "I'm right here you know."

Gazzy pointed to the north and said "It looks like there's a farm or something over there. We could tell the people that live there that the woods might be on fire."

I shrugged. We might as well let someone know that the forest could be burning down.

Angel caught on to my thoughts and asked "where should we land"

I looked around and decided we should land about half a mile from the farm or whatever it was.

I told the rest of the Flock and we set off.

Leo POV

I was walking back to camp from bunker 9, when I realized something was following me. Now it could have been anything from a nymph of dryad to some horrible monster that probably would want to eat my face.

I summoned up some fire and turned around. I was expecting the worst. I was not expecting a giant metal dragon.

I extinguished my flames and said "Festus! How in Hades did you get out of the bunker?!"

Rather than answer the dragon shot a column of fire in to the sky like he was proud of himself. The nerve!

I sighed and started to lead my dragon back to the bunker.

When I got there I realized I hadn't shut the doors all the way. "So that's how you got out", I said, "Sorry for yelling at you bud"

I left and made sure I closed the doors all the way. I was running across the commons when I saw 6 people at the top of the hill.

A.N. So what did you think? Reviews are appreciated.
