Max moved quickly as she set the basket out from the previous night’s food fight, from the kitchen she had also borrowed a second. They contained an assortment of slightly rotted fruits and vegetables rummaged from people’s trash in the streets. The junk was gross, but Max remembered eating burnt desert rat in the Mojave without ketchup, so she decided they weren’t all that unappetizing. But that was also the reason she had chosen gutter material. It was softer, and splatted much better.
As she leaned over to examine each basket, her brown and white wings flared out to stabilize her. The bird-girl’s mouth was set in a firm, grim line, her sleeves rolled up, and the ammo evenly split between the two baskets. She was dressed in last night’s clothes, which still had flour on them the fateful fight, and her blonde hair was tightly braided and twisted into a bun against her scalp.
Maximum Ride was ready for a rematch.
