===The Pulse===
[[File:DarkAngel1x03MaxAndLucy.jpg|thumb|Max and Lucy hide from Lucy's father.]]▼
After leaving Hannah's cabin, Max stowed aboard a supply truck and got off in Casper, Wyoming, where she met [[Lucy Barrett]], a young girl who was making a snowman outside her aunt's house. After Max tells Lucy that she ran away from a bad place and that people would hurt her if they found her, Lucy lets Max stow away in her mother's SUV when they return home to Los Angeles, California. After arriving, Lucy's mother, Joann, said that Max could stay with them by saying that she was the daughter of Joann's late cousin. During the next three months, Max and Lucy had to put up with Lucy's sexually abusive, alcoholic father, Jack. While Max attended school with Lucy, she suffered from seizures due to her genetic breeding. The school nurse prescribed tryptophan, a dietary supplement, that controlled them. On June 1, 2009, disaster struck on a global scale: terrorists detonated a nuclear weapon in the sky high above the United States, producing a powerful electromagnetic pulse which destroyed virtually every electronic device within thousands of miles, immediately plunging the country into total anarchy.

On the same day, after defending herself from Jack, she ran away from the Barrett’s home. Afterwards, Max turned to petty theft to survive and camped out in Griffith Park. Three years later, in April 2012, she returned to the Barrett house to rescue Lucy but find it abandoned. Guilt over the tactical decision to refrain from defending and eventually leave Lucy, as her training bade, plagued Max into adulthood. In May 2009, a huge earthquake hit California leaving millions homeless. A year later, since foraging for supplies was becoming more difficult, Max migrated to Hollywood, California.

===Hiding===
In Seattle, Max worked as a bike messenger for a delivery service called [[Jam Pony]]. She became friends with several other messengers, mainly Cynthia "Original Cindy" McEachin, [[Herbal Thought]], and
During one of these burglaries, Max met [[Logan Cale]], the underground cyber-journalist known as Eyes Only. Cale noticed his visitor's unusual abilities and, after investigating further, discovered her identity as an X5. He proposed a deal: he would help Max track down her siblings, and she would help him bring down criminals. Max at first refused, unwilling to expose herself to notice by Manticore, but eventually agreed after taking pity on one of the people Logan was helping.
