This just popped into my head one day, so I just decided to type it down. It's pretty much about Max and a death speech, and she discovered she can't die without killing herself. Fang is dead, and she decides to join him. Fax! Pretty sad, though.

"Death isn't so painful once you get used to it.

Most of the time I can feel only a dull ache, and then it just… blacks out. The first time I died it was excruciating – pain filled my body, erupting from where my heart was finally slowing, and I willed it, because I knew as soon as it stopped beating all of it would just disappear. Most of the time, I was right.

But I also knew I would only die for a short period of time, then come back to life. The pain would be gone. I would be healed. I would be safe. I would be alive, and yet I would still be dead. My soul, still dead.

It had died along with Fang. Oh, Fang, I still miss you. I couldn't believe it when you died – the flyboys, so many flyboys… I saw your face, bloody and bruised, yelling at me to fly away, and never come back…

I never came back for you, Fang.

I should have come back for you, Fang.

I still love you, Fang.

I still remember your rare smiles, your soft caresses, your voice telling me that it's okay, to hold it all together, to stay strong.

I can't stay strong without you, Fang.

I still remember your arms, your strong arms, holding me so tight that I knew you would never let me go… thought you would never let me go.

But was it really you that let me go, Fang, or was it I that let you go?

Oh, why did I let you go, Fang? I'm falling apart without you…..

Angel knows. She tries to comfort me, but I push her away. Iggy has mostly been in charge ever since you left. But I know he can't handle the pressure. He looks to me for help, and I can't. I can't do this anymore, Fang… I have to join you. I need to join you.

So this is the end. An ironic ending, at the most. Jeb told me my power won't work on suicide. My power of immortality.

The world is saved. But I am not.

So as I take my final jump, as I feel the last whisper of wind across my face, I also say these final words in life. You won't appreciate me killing myself, but I'm sure we can still be as happy in death as we were in life.

I love you."

Max finished her practiced speech, teetering on the edge of what seemed to be the world. Little did anyone know, the edge of the world was in Arizona.

She looked to the sky, a small smile spreading across her bloodied and dirty features. Iggy would take care of the flock, She thought. Nudge will help him. They remind me so much of…

She began to choke up, but the lump in her throat quickly vanished. It didn't matter. Nothing mattered, as long as she was going to join him. Her dear, sweet, strong Fang. Oh, he was so strong. Strong enough to wait this long for her to join him.

Max spread her wings out for the last time, closing her eyes as the feathers fell into place…

Then she tucked them in, leaping off her cliff, hearing the cries of her flock fade into oblivion…
