Disclaimer- I own nothing but the O.C. I added :( but, I do own Jamie! :) mwhaha!

Disclaimer #2- I stole the script of the video of Max from Caroline's video in Joss Whedon's, Dollhouse. I soo don't own the genius behind that show… no matter how much I wish I did! So no sue-ing please! The most you will get is a couple of Target giftcards, and a pack of Five gum. I only chose it cause I thought it kinda suited Max. Saving the world, which she does so well, but without her flock. The normal human way.

Warning- Swearing and Faxness! :D haha! I am pleasing many with this!

Author Note- Heyy! Wow, I am such a terrible person. I have been so caught up in this story, I totally am neglecting my other story… oh dear… oh well! So I am gonna do a prequel/sequel! :) I am in the process of coming up with plot lines and such so if you got an idea, I will be more than happy to hear it! Umm… let's see… oh! Fax! So, like a lot of people want Fax and who am I to deny you? :D well, besides being the god of this fanfic! So I spent like 3 class periods running through multiple Fax scenarios and picked the best one/two for this chapter :)

Author Note #2- so someone pointed out that Max has brown eyes, not blue. I decided to umm…. Explain my error :) I'll just say that I am gonna throw something in that explains why she has blue, not brown! Okeedokee! Byee!

Chapter- Oh What The Hell! It's chapter Fax!

Fang went crashing through the window. He didn't really know what was on the other side and honestly didn't care. It stung as the glass shattered on his face and hands, but the pain was probably nothing compared as to what Jamie was going to be going through. Three Erasers stared at him, not really comprehending that he was there. He raised his eyebrows. The first one lunged and Fang delivered a swift drop kick to its stomach. Another jumped at him from behind, and he back handed the Eraser so hard across its face, its neck snapped. Not that he cared anyway. The one he had drop kicked scrambled up and grabbed a lamp that had been sitting in the corner of the room. Fang grinned. (AN- Hey! Why can't Fang smile? He always seemed so…. Broody…) The other Eraser circled behind him, cutting off the escape route. Fang smirked again. He didn't need an escape route. He was gonna rescue Max and that chatterbox Jamie. He turned to face the Eraser with the lamp. After all, a large metal object is significantly more damaging to his health than a blocked escape route. Feinting right, he then darted to the Eraser's left, and kicked him backwards. With its balance already off balance from the missed stroke, it was essentially easy to knock it over… right into the principal's office. After finishing off the Eraser, Fang remembered Jamie's words.

"Apparently when she was in there, she found this white coat file on her."

Shoving the Eraser's body out of his way, he strolled over to the desk. Giving a soft smile, he could see Max's handiwork. She had never been good at covering her tracks. But, that was what made the Max the Max he knew and lov-… Did he love her? Fang stopped. Glancing down at the file in his hand labeled Maximum Ride with a picture of a perfectly beautiful girl sitting on a bench with Jamie on one side, and two boys standing behind them, he nodded to himself and faced the truth. He did love her. Nothing could get in the way of that. And no one. Ripping off the picture, Fang tucked it in his pocket. Flipping through the folder, he found the usual info. Maximum flying altitudes, etc. There were no other pictures, which actually disappointed Fang a little. But he brightened at the the thought of the real Max. Even he knew that the pictures could never do her justice. Tossing the folder back on the desk he walked out of the office and whistled to the flock. Individually, they landed in the now partially destroyed office.

"Wow Fang." Gazzy observed the room. "Whatever bomb you used to set this place up, I need to learn how to make it!" Fang rolled his eyes.

"Come on. We need to find Max if we wanna take out all these Erasers." Fang said

"She always was a good fighter." Nudge observed

"We should split up." Iggy suggested "You find Max, and we'll find Jamie and get the rest of the people out of here." Fang nodded.

"Let's go to work."

XxXxXxXx

Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel crept along the hallways. Angel had a general idea of where they were going to be changing Jamie and that boy, so that's where they were headed. Iggy wished he could see right then and there. He wanted to see what kinda life Max had been leading, what friends she had, or what her locker looked like. "Woah!" Gazzy whispered

"What?" asked Iggy

"There's a picture of Max and a whole bunch of other people on the Statue of Liberty!" Angel whispered "She looks so happy and stuff. It's strange…"

"Guys!" Nudge and Gazzy's voices drifted down the hallway "We found them!" Angel slipped her hand in Iggy's and led him quickly down the hallway. Peering through a window, everyone could see a blonde eraser holding the boy down and an Eraser that faintly resembled the boy was gripping Jamie tightly. Another blonde one strode in. Jamie said something and she slapped her. The boy snarled something and the one pinning him gave him a punch to the stomach. Angel looked at the flock individually. She said one thing mentally to all other them.

"On three."

"One"

"Two"

"Three"

The flock kicked down the door.

XxXxXxXx

Fang slid through the shadows, causing no noise. He was working his way towards the basement where Angel had said that Max was being kept. Then he saw something and stopped dead. Opening the classroom door, he walked over to the T.V. It had been paused, but Max's face was paused on it. Fang reached over and hit play.

"Oh no no no! Get that damn thing outta my face!" Max cried out laughing. Sunlight was falling on her hair, causing it to shimmer beautifully. Max was still talking but he was caught up in her beauty. After staring at her for several minutes, words started to drift through to his brain. "Snobby- ass pack of hoes…Life won't be the same without you!" Pulling himself out of his daze he took the full effect of what she said next.

"I'd like to take my place in the world, like Mrs. Dundee taught us. Global Recovery, Doctors Without Borders, the world is in need of some serious saving. And I wanna travel. Travel around the world as I save it. In a private jet that I pilot and designed. Okay go ahead and laugh yearbook monkey. I know I'm such a cliché. What can I say, I wanna do everything. Is that too much to ask?" (AN- I still don't own that!)

Fang paused it. He really needed to save his cliché lover. Giving one last glance at the T.V., he moved past it. After drifting through the hallways some more, he found the door labeled "Basement" and went down the stairs. Fang stepped off the last stair and took in the gloomy surroundings. The floor wasn't even cement. It was packed dirt. Then, he saw Max. She was asleep tied to a pole. He ran over to her. Fang knelt over Max's sleeping form. She was barely recognizable under all the tears, blood and dirt. There was a bruise on one of her cheekbones and her red hair hung in limp ringlets, as it they had been defeated. Fang lent down, and did something he thought he would never do. He placed a gentle kiss on her lips. She stirred and opened her eyes. Fang was moderately shocked to see blue eyes staring out at her. Colored contacts, he realized.

"Fang?" Max whispered "Is that you?"

"Hey Max." Fang choked out "It's me." Max let a big grin spread across her face.

'You came for me!" she whispered "I wasn't sure you would but-"Fang cut her off by kissing her again. This time though, she kissed back. When they separated, He placed his forehead against hers.

"I'll always come for you Max." Fang said 'Now let's get these ropes off and then help the others break out Jamie." Max sat bolt upright.

"Is she okay? What about Ben?"

Fang let a small smile creep across his lips. "Chill. I don't know anything. The rest of the flock went to get them." Fang stopped. A curious thought had just crossed his mind. 'Where's the rest of your school?"

"In a lockdown, they go to this outdoor shed thing-y. They are probably safe for now because it's designed to avoid detection…" Max kept talking while Fang went around the back. He tugged the ropes a little, resulting in a gasp of pain from Max.

"Sorry!" Fang cried

"It's fine." Max replied breathlessly "But there's something you should know."

'What?" Fang asked, worried

"Those ropes are gonna be a bitch to untie."
