I happily announce that this chapter has Fax in it!!

Jeb was freaking out on the inside; this was bad, this was very bad. Everyone in the place could be dead in a matter of seconds, and that was a very bad thing. He raced through the hallways trying to get to Max, the Director on his heels. The two had to get there soon and by soon he meant right now.

"Do you get anything from her," The Director asked, worry etched into her voice. Jeb thought this was probably the first time he had ever heard her sound like that. Normally she was always on top of everything, nothing ever scared her before.

"Yeah, the process just started we have maybe two minutes," Jeb screamed picking up his jog into a full out sprint. The Director hadn't run like this in years and she silently made a pact to go to the gym more often.

The two made one last turn before they made it to the group of flyboys who were all gathered around one thing. Max, Jeb yelled in his mind but he didn't hear anything in return. He vaguely heard Marian give directions to all the flyboys but Jeb paid no attention to it. He ran up to his daughter to see she had fallen limp to the floor. He sat down besides her taking a needle out of his pocket while doing so.

She started shaking uncontrollably and he silently stuck the needle into her arm. She almost immediately stopped shaking and started relaxing. She shuddered one last time and was picked up by the flyboys, with directions to take her to the new room.

Jeb had told Fang that there were problems with his surgery, a simple lie. It seemed as if Fang had believed him and there were no problems between the men. Jeb made it seem that he had tried everything he could to get Fang out of there. After all if Fang didn't trust him Max definitely wouldn't. So he had to suck up to both teenagers… that's a sad sentence coming from a thirty-five year-old man, Jeb thought to himself.

Max was to be taken to the room Fang was already in now; Jeb could make it seem as if he had to pull some major strings in order for them to be together. That way they might appreciate him a little bit more. Jeb was accustomed to using everything around him as a resource and this was just like any other time. He followed the flyboys to the small room that had a very big lock on it. He and the Director were the only ones who had keys to it, after all this was no ordinary situation.

Jeb opened the door to reveal Fang with a very pissed off expression on his face. He saw Max hanging limp in the flyboy's hands and started to struggle against the roped that bound him. Jeb figured that the minute Max was awake those would be off. The flyboys set the girl down and left after a nod from Jeb.

"What did they do to her?" Fang questioned moving over to max. He hands were tied in the back and Jeb could see how much Fang wanted to reach out to her. He felt bad for the boy.

"They didn't do anything to her, she did this to herself," Jeb said and Fang snapped his eyes up to Jeb. They had a small amount of confusion in them.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Fang asked his voice like ice. Jeb had heard that tone plenty of times before that he was completely unfazed.

"She was over reacting, I can't explain how, and I had to give her something to make her relax. She should be back in about twenty minutes," Jeb said turning to leave. "And just to let you know it cost me a lot of trouble to get you too in the same room."

"Thanks," Fang whispered looking down at Max with love in his eyes. Jeb swore his daughter was just too oblivious.

Max:

I woke up with large headache. I couldn't remember much that had happened before. I was fighting and then got a weird feeling and blacked out, that was all. I opened my eyes, squinting at the light, and looked around.

I was in a different room that had a small light on the ceiling but that was about it. The walls were gray and crumbling and there was a small mirror on the wall across from me. That was something I had never seen in one of the many rooms I had been held in.

There was something hard pressed up against my back and I turned over to see what it was. I almost shrieked in happiness and what I saw. Fang was sitting next to me his eyes closed. He must have been sleeping. Wait wasn't he supposed to be let go? Why wasn't he out flying to the flock right now?

"Fang," I whispered, resting my hand on his cheek. You know in case I needed to smack him awake, it would be easier. He stirred and looked up at me with sleep in his eyes. He must have been tired; I guess he hasn't slept much lately.

"Max how are you feeling," he asked trying to sit up but winced when he moved his side. I pushed him back down gently.

"I should be asking you the same question," I said quietly lifting the edge of his shirt to look at his side. "How was the operation?"

I guess we hadn't really had the time to talk about stuff like that last time I saw him. After all the death wishes I was spewing all over the place. I figured we would have a nice long chat about everything said at the meeting.

"I'm fine really, I was just a bit sore, that's it," and as if to prove his point he sat up with a little more ease than before. "It's almost been about three days since the surgery so it's almost healed. You being a mutant and all," he said with a small smile. God I missed those smiles. I noticed his hands were tied behind his back and I quietly got to work untying them. He muttered a small 'thanks'.

"I'm fine too," I said ignoring the pain in my stomach and jaw, damn flyboys. We sat there looking at each other for several minutes, both of us thinking how great it was we get to see each other again. "What exactly happened, why aren't you out of here?"

"They wanted to keep me so they could watch over the scar, something about getting an infection," Fang said with a smug look.

"Oh well as long as you'll get out of here soon," I said quietly almost regretting it. The look in his eyes matched that of the look I had gotten in the OR.

"You are coming with me Max, no matter what deals you made," his voice almost left no room for argument, almost being the operative word. There is always room for argument when you are talking to Maximum Ride.

"Fang," I tried to reason but he interrupted me. Here goes the fight, even with a gaping wound in his side Fang can still argue.

"No Max not again. You are not going to give all that bullshit again. I don't want to hear it. You are the most important person to all of the flock members, to me, and it would be impossible to love, I mean live, without you. We can do all of that stuff with you, Max," Fang shouted. I told you I pissed him off. I decided to put the whole 'love' thing in the back of my mind for the time being.

"I'm sorry, I thought you were going to die and…" I got cut off, again. See this is why it sucks to argue with Fang.

"How could you think you were replaceable? No one can replace you!! How many times to I have to tell you. You can't die other wise the flock would die. We wouldn't know what to do with out you, Max. We love you," he yelled. He seemed to be calming down a bit now, after his blow up. He does that every once and a while, well too me that is. He never does it to the others. Aren't I lucky?

"Okay," I said putting my hand on his. "I won't do that again, but I still think you would be able to live without me."

"No Max, I wouldn't…" he said and leaned forward and kissed me. Alright, I couldn't help it kissed him back. It was like natural instinct to be kissing Fang. At first it was gentle but soon it grew to be passionate.

His hands came up to my cheek where they pushed my mop of hair out of my face. He tilted his head so we could kiss better and soon his tongue found its way into my mouth. My hands found there way to Fangs chest and moved up so they were in his hair. He pulled me up so I was flat against his chest. This was pure bliss, I know last time I jumped off a cliff but this time it was awesome. He edged me back and I was soon lying on the ground with Fang kissing me. When air became a necessity he pulled back and smiled down at me. I looked into his eyes and I knew. Throughout all these years I had some how managed to fall in love with my best friend.

AN: Okay there you go, the two are reunited and there was Fax!! I hope you liked it, and I'm sorry it's so short!! Review, it wont hurt you, I promise!!

Oh and in an upcoming chapter we will visit with the rest of the flock so I was wondering should there be IggyxNudge or IggyxElla??
