This will be a collection of Miggy oneshots throughout different times in the series. Oh, and these won't all be in chronological order because my copy of The Angel Experiment is on loan right now… and some might contradict others, like one will say Iggy leaves with Fang while others say he stays etc.

For those of you have not yet read Max there are some spoilers in the Author's note, so skip it if you want

A.N. Okay, so here's the deal. I was a huge fan of Fax-ness and all its glory. It is still pretty awesome. However, James Patterson then went and made it canon, which made it less interesting (at least to me). So I started thinking about Iggy and Max, and thus became hooked on Miggy-ness.

This takes place in the hospital scene in School's Out - Forever


Iggy's POV

I couldn't help worrying. Fang was hurt – badly – and Max was back with the doctors donating what must have been half the blood in her body. And here I am doing nothing, I thought bitterly. As always. Why was I always the one being left behind, while everyone else was out risking their lives? I mean a six year old is more useful than I am and I'm freaking fourteen! I hated being blind, hated having to rely on Max or another one of the flock. Stupid whitecoats.

"Max!" Nudge shouted. I was at her side in seconds. She felt so shaky. I helped her to a seat to make sure she didn't collapse. I was more worried than usual, because between her debilitating headaches and the blood loss from donation, she was at risk of passing out at a moment's notice.

"Thanks, Ig. I'm fine, really."

I didn't believe her for a second, but decided not to argue. Instead, I decided to question her. "How'd it go? Will Fang be okay? Will you be okay?"

"It went fine, Iggy. Fang is fine. I already told you, I'm fine. Everything is fin e. Honestly, Ig, when did you become such a mother hen?"

I was going to make some snappy comeback (as soon as I could think of one), but one of the hospital staff, none of whom I trusted, came and offered Max a cookie and a glass of juice. She downed the juice and practically leapt on the cookie. "Could I like get two more cookies and maybe three more glasses of juice?" she asked between mouthfuls of cookie. Had it been a different member of the flock, a different situation, I would have commented on her criticizing my table manners. I mean, I could hear her devour that thing, and once or twice, I could've sworn I felt crumbs on my face. Totally gross, right?

Gazzy did not share my gift of situational observation. "Max, you look like an Eraser right now, you know that?" Nudge and Angel giggled. "Why you little-!"

"Excuse me," the doctor that took away Max the first time was back. "Your… brother, Nick, needs more blood." Max started to get up, but I shoved her back down.

"No. You've done enough already. I'll do it."

Being Max, she started to protest. "Ig, I told you-"

"No Max, I told you, I'll do it. Now sit down, shut your cookie hole, and rest up. Besides, it's the least I could do."

Max sighed. "Fine Ig. I guess you win. It's kind of sweet to see how much you care for Fang."

No, Max. Not for Fang. I thought dejectedly, before following the doctor. For you.
