Cyrus Noble part 19: I Can't Believe I Fly

I looked out the broken window. We were about forty feet from the ground. That dang bird flew by again. I turned to Megan. "Take Viktor and Angie and fly. Find an indirect route to the house. Magnet you follow her. If you think you're going to fall don't hesitate to tell anybody. OK?" I say this even though I know he won't. He'll keep the thing in the air. He nodded, then said, "What about you?" I smiled. "Don't worry. I'll be fine." At least I hope.

Magnet and Megan flew out the window. I could hear the crowd below gasp and scream. OK. My turn. I took a few steps back, and I dove right out the window. Have you ever been sky-diving? Don't do it. I am falling off the forty-eth floor of a building, falling at speeds that will peel the face off of a regular person. I don't know if I can survive a drop like this. I just thought that with my healing ability, I'll be able to peel my face off the pavement. Though I kinda forgot about the building that is now exploding behind/under me.

I felt something beside me. I looked over to see that bird diving next to me. Before I could yell at it or something, it hit me in the back. And I blacked out.

2 Hours Later........

I woke up on the couch. I must've been dreaming. When I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. I saw that the gang was crowding over me. Jazz, Sara, and Magnet to my right. Viktor, Angie, and Megan on the left, hovering over the edge of the couch. Zeus was on Viktor's shoulder, with its head tilted sideways. As if it was concerned as well. Jazz was speaking, "Cyrus? Cyrus Noble!" I hate it when she uses the full name Sara gave me. She sounds like a mother whenever she uses it. "What were you thinking, you idiot!? You could have died!" I guess it wasn't a dream. Even when I feel like zombie I have such a smart mouth. "Hey, I missed you too." No one was laughing though. I continued. "So, what happened?" They looked at eachother. I guess they were hoping I knew. Megan answered, "You kind of, well, flew." I looked at them. I was waiting for someone to start laughing a give away the dead joke. But no one did. It just doesn't compute. Cyrus doesn't fly.

What, is that Gabriel kid a carrier of a new type of bird-flu or something?
