Chapter 5 pt. 1


Isis

She pushed open a gate and walked down a long dirt path until she reached an old shed. It looked as if it where barely held together, the wood was beginning to rot, and the lone metal door was rusted and barely attached to the hinges. Isis took a step forward her and located a key to the padlock on the door. She opened it and stepped inside. It was small and would only fit two people at a time. In the center was a large control pad on a metal stand. Isis key'd in the code Malone had given her and the ground beneath her began to vibrate. Glass shot out from the ground enclosing her. The ground shifted before it slowly began to lower. It stopped after a few minutes and the glass opened in front of her. Surrounding her in darkness. She took a step forward and the lights flickered on to reveal a large circular room. There were three doors in front of her and when she turned she saw a large monitor and the latest tech in computers. Isis smiled and pulled a note Malone had slipped to her when she said she was going to check out the place he told her about.

'I can say that truly you are like a daughter to me. I know you have been through many things, horrible things. And through out the years you have been on a path with no direction and I think now you have finally found it. B26 must be stopped and you have finally taken a step in that direction. You have many people supporting you, many people depending on you. There will be times when you have to make hard decisions but I know you are capable. '

Isis smiled before she began to explore the greatest gift anyone had ever given her. It was a large facility with the latest tech and it even had spare rooms and a kitchen. When she was finished going through the facilities layout she sent everyone a text that she had something to tell them.

Danelle

She woke up slowly yawing, and it took her entirely too long, in her opinion, to realize that she was not in her room. In fact she wasn't even sure that she was in the same town. She groaned as a dull pain vibrated in the back of her head, as if she had been hit and suddenly it all came flooding back to her. Her car being totaled, and the mysterious woman and man she had seen. It was like something out of a comic book.

"You're awake."

She jumped to see a man with short white hair sitting in a chair next to the bed. The man looked at her with a small smile. "Who are you?"

"It's better for you if I don't say. The fact that you witnessed anything at all is bad enough, I should kill you, that's what they would order me to do." He said softly.

Fear gripped her as he stood and she stammered, "But...But...you're not?"

He studied her for a moment longer before saying, "No, I won't. I should but I will not."

Danelle slowly got out of the bed her eyes scanned the nightstand and she saw a notepad that said Marriott. At least he wasn't a cheap date whoever he was. "Why?"

The man looked at her in amusement. "Normally when one tells someone that they aren't going to harm them they say thank you, they don't ask why."

"Key word being normally. Let my family and friends tell it, I am not normal." She took a step towards him and he held up a hand. "At least tell me your name, you did save me did you not?"

"More or less." He sighed, "Cas...my name is Cas."

Danelle smiled at him and said, "Well thank you for not killing me Cas."

He chuckled for a few seconds and then his face grew serious, "You can't tell anyone what you saw, or I will have to kill you. You are an interesting woman Danelle, it would be a shame for me to have to kill you."

"I didn't see anything at all." Danelle looked at him, "I met this amazing guy, we had amazing sex and then he left like a thief in the night. I never got his name and I could never find my car after that."

Cas took a step forward and caressed the side of her face and with a smile said, "Don't worry about your car." He bent his head down as if he were to kiss and her and then he was gone, leaving the feel of the cold wind against her lips.

Danelle stood still for a few minutes before she realized that he would not be coming back. "Easy for him to say don't worry about my car. I don't even know where I am!" She looked at the notepad for a moment and an idea came to her.

She knew it was possibly a stupid idea but something was going on, something that she had unwittingly stumbled into and now she wanted to get to the bottom of it. She noticed a set of keys on the nightstand and underneath it was a small note.

'For your troubles.'

She picked up the keys and walked out of the room. She didn't stop until she was in the parking lot and she pressed the alarm on the keys. The alarm blared and she followed the sound until she stood in front of a brand new Dodge Charger. She stopped the alarm and unlocked the car before getting in. It was not everyday some random man came along, did not kill you and got you a knew car. She had to find him again, and her inner journalist knew that she had to get to the bottom of whatever the hell she had driven into literally. She knew that whatever was going on this was only the beginning.

Jin

He sat on the bed in his new home with his hands on his head. A lot had happened and he wasn't even sure what was going on. Hawke knocked on the door before walking in and sitting down on the full sized bed next to him. There was a long silence that passed between them. Him regaining the memories of his past meant many things. He knew that Hawke was not his real brother but it still didn't erase the memories that he had of them together.

"So you're not my real brother?" Jin asked.

Hawke sighed, "Biologically no, but you are like a brother to me, you have to know that."

"I know you have to care about me if you would risk your life to keep me safe, even if you have been lying to me that whole time. But I wonder was all this to keep me safe or where you just doing it for Isis?" Jin asked looking at his brother.

There was a long silence between them before Hawke answered, "In the beginning, it was just about keeping her safe. She has been through a lot, out of the four of you she has had it the hardest, and in some ways I feel like I owe her because so many bad things happened to her and I was powerless to stop it. But you are like a brother to me, and I've made just as many decisions to keep you safe as her, if not more."

"I still don't understand everything that is going on." Jin said putting his hands in his head and groaning.

Hawke sighed, "The Legend of the Four Dragons. You, Isis, Cas and Walt are all reincarnations of the four dragons, Meris, Ardin, Zephyr and Faunus. I don't know what exactly B26 is planning to do with you guys but it can't be good."

"If we are all supposed to be on the same side why are Cas and Walt still working with B26?" Jin questioned.

"The better question is," Isis said coming into the room followed by Alex and Lucy, "who exactly is running B26."

"Are you okay?" Lucy asked running to Jin and given him a hug, "I've been wanting to do that for the longest time."

Jin smiled at her, happy that he now remembered the girl that would always look out for him at the facility. She had grown into a beautiful young woman and it warmed his heart that all this time she had still managed to find a way to look out for him. "I'm fine now."

"She's right though, this whole time we've been running from a monster and we don't even know who it's master is." Alex said.

Isis looked at everyone in the room and said, "Now that Jin remembers everything I think it's time for action. I am about to ask a lot of all of you, and I completely understand if you say no. If you decided not to help me I will ensure that you are kept somewhere safe." She looked at everyone but Jin. This time around he would have no choice, because of who he was it was his destiny to help her, and no matter what happened Isis was now very much aware that you could not run away from destiny. "I am going to take down B26."
