AN: I'm back with another Maximum Ride fanfic! I really like this idea and I hope you guys do too. It might be a bit slow at first, but I've got lots of ideas for this one churning already! Enjoy!

Maximum Ride: The After Years

Summary: Ten years ago, the world was saved and the flock split up, all contact lost. Now where are they? What happens when they reunite? Forgiveness is needed, romance is a must, and keeping everyone together when grudges threaten unity is priority. Gotta be FAX!

Chapter One: Update!

Ten years ago, Maximum Ride saved the world. Of course, she didn't manage it alone; she had the help of her loyal flock and their faithful worldwide supporters. After that, Max and her flock split up, changed their names and lifestyles, and all but dropped off the face of the earth. The public eye knows no mutants, no human-avian hybrids, but the flock is still here, hiding in plain sight...

Madison Martinez: At 24, Martinez is a successful (and attractive) politician who has dedicated her life to keeping the world in its currently stable position. Though her past is vague, she claims to know the horrors of our world when mistreated and neglected. She is presently engaged to fellow politician David Bowerman, with a date set for May. She is well-known and respected and lives in Tempe, Arizona.

Nick Jackson: The dark, handsome, much-sought-after, 24-year-old webmaster has helped create and maintain some of the world's most popular websites. He is a known supporter of many different organizations dedicated to helping the world be a better place. His past is full of gaps, though he claims to have once affiliated with the main group the set the word straight ten years ago. He currently resides in Long Island, New York.

Jeff Griffiths: Though he claims to have been blind for as long as he can remember, this 24-year-old police officer is the best in the business. Rumor is that he can hear a break-in from a mile away and be on the spot in two seconds flat. Got a bomb threat? It's no problem for him; he can deactivate a bomb in less than ten seconds. Though his shadowy past hints at abuse, this resident of Denver, Colorado, no doubt has a bright, promising future.

Monique Crystal Hart: This popular young talk show host first made it big when she started working backstage and accidentally stumbled onto the set while on air. That was when it was decided that she belonged in the spotlight, rather than operating it. Known for her trademark ranting, Miss Hart's slogan has become: "All Monique, all the time." The 21-year-old calls Hollywood, California home.

Zeke and Ariel Brown: Brother and sister, the two share a house in Richmond, Virginia. 18-year-old Zeke is in his freshman year of college while his 16-year-old sister is wrapping up high school.

AN: Hope you liked it! Please review! Kudos and a chapter dedication to anyone who matches up those names with the flock. It's not that hard. :)

10/06/10 EDIT: So, I have decided that this fic needs some major renovation, especially since I've gotten so many complaints about the sudden POV changes and now that FF has gotten rid of my dash separations. So, soon that will all be fixed.(:
