Hey guys. I still don't own Maximum Ride. :)
Hi guys. How ya been? Long time, no chat. It's Max by the way. I hope you haven't forgotten me. Actually, I hope you have but still I digress. I guess I should fill you in on our lives for the past 5 or 6 years, huh? Yep, I'm 20 now. I've grown up some. My nickname is still charging off and I'm still paranoid as all get out, but I've made the move into mainstream society. I have been working with the CSM for the past 3 years. I also just finished up my GED and college prep courses.
That's right. Good ol' Maximum Ride is going to sit in a college classroom. Amazing, isn't it? I listened to that fantastic Voice in my head and I'm still working on saving the world. I've decided that I want to be a lawyer. An environmental lawyer to be exact. Who would have thought that anti-establishment Max would grow up to work the system? You can't deny it though, I can argue with the best of them. But I've given it a lot of thought, and decided that this was something that I wanted to do. I was going to bring down evil corporations like Mr. Chu's and make sure they got locked up. Not too shabby, huh?
You're probably wondering what the rest of the gang is up to as well. Fang is still 19. He's turning 20 in a couple of days. Yes, we're still together. No, we never officially got married. We both still wear our rings though, and decided that those were official enough for us, though not everyone agrees. He has a job too. He did some online courses and got his certification for web site design. He designs websites and posts them on the internet. Cool, huh? He can work the hours that he wants to and doesn't have to report to an office or anything. I have to admit the job is perfect for him and he's really good at it. He and I are living together now. We live a few minutes away from my mom in a small 2 bedroom townhome. All in all, we're pretty happy.
Iggy works with a technology company that helps build bombs. Unbelievable, right? He moved out of my mom's too, living in a "bachelor pad". It's a one bedroom apartment between my house and my mom's. The rest of the flock still lives with my mom. Nudge is almost 17, Gazzy is 14, and Angel is 12. Nudge and Gazzy attend the same high school, and Angel is in middle school. They've done really well with normal school and are actually great students.
Gazzy wants to be a chemist one day. Nudge is deciding between public relations or fashion merchandising for college. And Angel has learned to control her powers more now too, so she doesn't hear everyone's thoughts all the time. She can turn it on and off like a light switch. Needless to say, that's easier on everyone.
Ella is in college now too and is studying abroad. She and Iggy still date, but they're not…exclusive, I guess you could say. They both wanted their independence when Ella went to Europe. Everything is pretty much going great right now. We haven't seen Erasers, or Flyboys or M-Geeks or anything in the past few years. And as long as they were gone, nothing could go wrong. Right?
