A MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR: I know I already wrote a Max Percy cross over but this is a different style of how it could have played out. When ever I write a story I have multiple ways the plot can go and this was Idea number 3 that I had.
So just hang on because this will mess with both the universes pretty badly which is why I waited so long to write it. Their will be two OC but Twitch is not one of them.
Enjoy!
Chapter 1: Cramps.
POV: Twitch
I hated this dam thing. The bars of the cadge were so uncomfortable. They were oppressive and the confinement made my muscles cramp up. Plus it didn't help that I couldn't sit still for more than five minutes without loosing it.
The thought of moving was diving me crazy. I just wanted to stretch. To wiggle my legs and wings. The cage. This dam cadge! God dam this stupid fucking cadge!
My frustration was building up to the point where I shook the bars of the cage with anger all over my face.
"Calm down, Twitch!" Max said from the cage caddy corner to me. "You're going to piss of the Erasers again."
I shook my head and couldn't stop myself from moving and trying to break the thing confining me.
As I shook my head my long raven black hair fell into my eyes. I brushed it aside.
"Easy kid." A voice to my left said. "Just look at me."
I turned to see Stealth starring at me with concerned eyes.
Stealth and Maniac were the only members of the flock that were not born into it. They had a group of their own called the squad that was killed by Erasers. The each thought the other was dead but they happened to pass through the same town and reunited. Then they roamed the nation together for a wile before they were captured and joined the flock.
Stealth was in the cage next to mine. Across from her was Angle. Across from me was Fang. Max was next to him. On my right and across from Max was Nudge. Iggy was on her other side and he was across form Gasman. Maniac's cage was supposed to be on Stealth's other side but he was pulled out of the room for 'testing'.
"Twitch." Stealth said soothingly. "It's ok. Just keep your mind on me. Just focus on me."
I obeyed her command and focused on her words. Without even realizing it My thoughts moved away from my cage and my twitchiness subsided.
"You ok?" Fang asked from across from me.
I nodded in response.
I wanted to thank Stealth but that wasn't possible. After my first flight when I was three in a gymnasium sized room in the school my throat started to burn. When I tried to scream out in pain nothing came out. Ever since then I haven't been able to make so much as a peep.
It was hard at first but over the years I've gotten used to it. I was 16 years old and had never been out side the School. Nun of us other than Stealth and Maniac has ever been outside the School.
Stupid School. Stupid cages. Stupid Erasers. Stupid White-coats. Stupid me for not finding a way out of here!
I shook my head in frustration and started shaking my head again and feeling the urge to move.
POV: Max
Twitch was having another one of his episodes again. The White-coats called it an extreme case of ADHD. We called them the Twitch moments. His eye starts to twitch and his hands will practically vibrate. Then he starts to shake his head in frustration. If nobody stops him he losses it and starts throwing himself at the bars of his cage, trying to bust his way out. This wouldn't be to bad but one time he made enuf noise that he pissed of an Eraser that was guarding out room and he was in pretty bad shape after the Eraser was done.
"Twitch." I said in a calm voice.
The black haired kid turned and stared at me, his sea green eyes met mine.
"You need to calm down." I said. "Just try and relax, I know it's hard but you know what the alternative is."
He silently laughed.
"He says that we call him Twitch for a reason." Angle said, reading Twitch's mind. "So he finds it funny that you think he can just switch it off."
"I'm sorry, Twitch." I said. "But if the Erasers hear you then your going to be in some pretty deep shit."
Just then the door to the room flew open and in entered two Erasers with a limp kid being dragged between them.
"Maniac?" Stealth asked, gripping the bars of her cage. "What did you bastards do to him?"
The Erasers tossed the boy into a cage where he lay motionless.
"Ask him if he wakes up." Laughed an Eraser as he limped off.
Thats odd. I thought.
The Eraser looked pretty banged up and so did his partner but they were fine when they took Maniac away earlier.
"Maniac kicked the shit out of you two." Fang said with a laugh. "You're supposed to be the guards and it takes two of you to barely control one bird kid."
The Erasers snarled, locked Maniac's cage door, and kicked Fang's cage.
"Well, then." The lead Eraser snarled. "Let's just see who's the one in the cage here."
With that the Erasers left.
"Jerks." Gasman muttered.
I nodded in agreement.
"I'm gona kill those bastards!" Stealth said in a menacing tone as she stared at the limp body in the cage next to her.
"Get in line." The limp boy responded.
He slowly shifted in the cage and groaned.
"Take it easy man." Said Fang. "
"You're hurt pretty bad." Angle intoned.
"You should see the other guy." Maniac said with a weak chuckle that turned into a hacking cough.
"How many were there this time?" Iggy asked in a board tone.
"Six." Maniac answered.
"Only six?" Gasman asked. "Last time there was ten."
Maniac laughed.
"Guess I'm getten old." He muttered.
"You're only sixteen." I pointed out.
He nodded but didn't respond.
The hole conversation he was in a heap on the floor of his cage with his head facing the other way.
"Babe?" Stealth asked. "You ok? What's wrong?"
He shifted to face her.
"Just tiered." He said. "Haven't been this worn out since Montana."
Stealth gave him a sympathetic smile.
"What happened in Montana?" I asked them.
"Long story." Stealth responded. "And I don't want to go into it right now."
Time Break
POV: Twitch
A few hours after Maniac's return we were still in our cages and I had had three more Twitch moments. Then the Eraser's came in.
"So the Doc ordered this?" Asked one of the ten Erasers.
"Yup." Answered another.
"But it makes no sense."
"Just shut up and follow your orders."
"Make me!"
"You would ignore the Doc's orders?"
"No."
"Than do it."
"Um, excuse me but can we help you?" Max asked from her cage. "Cuz if not then please don't subject us to this pointless bickering."
The Erasers smiled.
"Play time!" Said one Eraser.
One by one they moved our crates onto a trolly and moved us out side into a court yard. I had never been out side before. I had only seen it through a window on the way to an operating room. The air smelt amazing! One by one they pulled us from our cadges and tied us up so we couldn't fly away. Then they would line us up by a concrete wall with tiny puncture holes in it. Across from the wall Erasers were loading some weapons.
Shit! I thought.
They were putting together a firing squad to kill us!
When they stopped at my cadge and opened the door I shrunk back in my cage, suddenly ok with the confinement.
Before they could pull me out a weird looking Eraser type thing ambushed the other Erasers.
"He's mine!" It screamed as it ripped an Eraser apart.
The other Erasers tried to shoot it but their bluets didn't seam to scratch it much less kill it.
The beast growled as it attacked the other Erasers.
I took this as my chance to escape. I quickly climbed from the cage and untied my friends.
"Thanks Twitch." Nudge said. "Now we can fly away and be free and see the world. Then maybe we can..."
"Nudge." Fang interrupted. "Lets just get out before you start running your mouth."
With that we all took off into the sky to our freedom, Leaving the Erasers to deal with the not quite Eraser thing that was tearing them apart.
Time Break.
POV: Twitch
Two hours later we were flying and celebrating our freedom when I noticed a shadow forming over me. I looked up and was shocked to see a Dragon dive bombing me.
"Twitch, look out!" Angle called out from in back of me.
The seven year old girl was rushing forward to try and help but it was too late. The dragon had me in it's claws and we were loosing altitude, fast."
I heard the Flock screaming my name as I fell and despite the tumbling I could see they were diving after me.
Then my back went ridged as I made contact with the ground. My seances went into shock.
Please don't let me be paralyzed for life! I thought.
Then that thought went dead as the Dragon prepared to kill me with it's teeth.
Just when I thought I was done though it's eyes widened and it burst into golden dust.
What the hell was that? I thought.
I looked to my right to see a beautiful blond girl holding a bone sword, staring at me.
"You ok?" She asked.
I nodded.
"Good." She said as she reached out with one hand to help me up. "I'm Annabeth by the way."
I took her hand and stood up, being sure to hide my wings.
"What's your name?" She asked me.
"Twitch!" Max screamed as she sprinted from the tree line, looking around for the dragon.
She paused when she saw Annabeth.
"Hey guys, I found him!" Max called over her shoulder.
"Who are you?" Annabeth asked Max suspiciously.
"I could ask you the same question." Max retorted.
"My name's Annabeth." Said Annabeth.
"Max." Said Max quickly. "That's Twitch." Max nodded her head towards me.
"Twitch?" Annabeth asked me as the rest of the flock burst from the tree line. "What kind of name is Twitch?"
I frowned at her, not liking my name being insulted.
"Just who the hell are you?" Maniac demanded in back of her.
Annabeth turned around to face him.
"I told you guys," She said. "I'm Annabeth..."
Maniac launched himself forward and tackled her to the ground.
"What the hell are you doing here and where the hell did you get a dragon?" Maniac demanded.
Annabeth stared him down calmly from under him.
"A)," She began. "I'm on a quest to find a Demi God in distress out here. The kid's supposed to be a powerful, unclaimed Demi God so they sent me to find the kid. B) I didn't send the dragon, I was the one that killed it."
"What?" Maniac asked in an angry confusion. "Demi what?"
"Demi God." Annabeth explained. "Half human half god. I'm guessing it's your friend Twitch since a dragon attacked him. They only go after the strongest of Demi Gods."
"Bull shit." Maniac said.
"No, it's not." Annabeth said. "I can prove it. On Long Island New York their isa camp full of kids like me and Twitch."
"Let her up, Maniac." Max said from off to the side.
"You honestly buy this bull shit?" Maniac demanded.
"No." Max said. "But we can't leave her to run off and expose us, we're not killers and if she works for the school we can use her for leverage."
Maniac reluctantly nodded and got up, grabbing the girl's sword.
"I'll hold onto this." He said in a snarling tone.
"Lead us to this camp." Max ordered. "If you're miss leading us we will end you."
Annabeth nodded.
"What school?" She asked as she stood up.
"What?" Fang asked.
"You mentioned a school." Annabeth continued. "What school?"
"Just get us to the camp." Stealth said as she stepped up next to Max.
