Max POV

" Where's my wallet," someone asked? I blinked and looked around. The guy was looking at me. Eyes as deep and smooth as dark chocolate, hair so dark it was black.

" Oh, yeah sorry," I stood up and grabbed the wallet. The entire contents spilled out. " Hey," he complained.

" Sorry," I moaned stooping down to clean it up. Crinkled pictures were face down on the rug. Well he can't see me down here so why not. I snooped. Picking up the first picture I gasped.

" What," he yelled. I was in that picture. Shuffling through, every picture had me in it, the rest of the flock too. I stood and showed them to the guy.

" How did you get these," I frowned? Hoping I looked mad. " I've always had them," he answered wincing as he moved.

" Who are you," I stammered. " Not sure," he blinked. " Do you recognize me," I asked?

" Sorta." He looked exhausted, enough questioning for now.

" You should sleep," I said. " Yeah okay." I turned to leave. " Hey, by the way thanks for everything," he grinned.

" Yeah your welcome." Hold it! The eyes, the hair, the scars. Oh my god!

" Turn over," I ordered. He did. Pulling off what was left of the shirt I stared at wings. His wings. Oh my god. God are you giving me another chance. " It had to be. " Fang," I whispered. He rolled over and stared at me. A smile broke out on his face.

" Maximum Ride," he said opening his arms. I rushed forward and collapsed in his arms, crying completely. " I finally found you," he smiled into my hair. I nuzzled into his chest, breathing in his warm smell.

" Fang, Fang," I cried.

" Shh I'm here," he rocked me gently. After six minutes of mushy crying I pulled back.

" But how," I stammered.

" Kidnapped, when I left to defeat Itex. Replaced. They made me watch the fake die. Seeing you guys so sad and defeated was…" he trailed of and a tear rolled down his cheek.

" Wow you crying. Since when has that happened," I giggled? He leaned forward and kissed my cheek. With a wild gasp I pushed him back and fell on him, crushing my lips against his. God I had Fang back. Yes, YES, YES.

" Max where's the flock," he frowned against my lips.

" Taking a trip to Florida," I pushed against his lips. He stopped talking. I had him back. Nothing else mattered. Fang was Home. I heard the door open and smiled. Fang was Most Defiantly Home!
