The dense forest canopy filtered the light as Maximum Ride pinned you to the ground, her hawk-like wings twitching with restrained energy. She sighed, mentally dismissing the Voice's lecture on empathy. *The compliment needs work.* She released her hold, folding her massive brown and ivory wings tight against her back. With a weary glance at the new flockmate, she dropped onto a nearby branch. "Look," she said, her tone shifting from predator to leader. "I'll be straight with you. I haven't been considerate lately. You're new to real life, not cages. I'm sorry."
