9Quick, just throw something on top of it
(And call it a day)
Maximum Ride has a lot of open plot holes, and questionable decisions made in the stories. Lets poke at them. A spot for any oneshots I have about this series, and things that wont work for "What we were built for"
I own nothing but my own ideas
Worst babysitters ever
"Where is Ari?"
"He's with the Erasers." Dr. Noir answers, as if that is a perfectly acceptable outcome, rather than a nightmare in the making.
"What is he doing with the Erasers!" Jeb demands, as he runs through the halls. "He could get killed in there."
"No, actually, we solved that."
Jeb turns around, dread pooling in his stomach. "Just how did you chose to solve that issue then?" He's hoping it will be something stupidly convoluted, like training the erasers to not attack Ari based on pheromone scent.
Dr. Noire turns on the cameras to show the Erasers, and at first he can not find Ari. Then he takes a closer look at the Erasers, and realises, that one of the erasers is Ari.
"I asked you to watch him while I was at a science conference!" He almost shouts.
"We did. We have all the tapes of him, including his progress, stacked in chronological order on your desk."
"This isn't what I meant by watching my son, while I was gone! Don't any of you have the slightest inch of restraint!"
"It's how we watched your daughter. Why not adapt it to work on both of your children?"
"GET OUT" Jeb roars at Noir. He will have to debate the merits of firing the man, or severely docking his paycheck later, when he feels less inclined to kill him.
Some days, he wonders if there is anyone who works here who is not a moron. Clearly not him, or he wouldn't have thought his son would be fine in their care, while he went to a science conference.
He leaves the building, and heads for the nearest bar.
I know he supposedly just up and disappeared with the flock, but to pull it off, he had to have put in some prep work. And thus, Ari becoming an Eraser happened a bit earlier then said, and provides a reasonable reason for Jeb to leave the company, and not bring his three year old son. Still judging him hard for that, because regardless of when it happened, or what happened, he left his three year old son, with his morally challenged colleagues, like dude, what are you doing. I suppose I shouldn't expect too much of him, given he also gave his daughter to science genetic experiments, but if your leaving, grab your three year old, it shouldn't be hard to grasp that concept.
