            Nat and Tae planned everything out. They were leaving for good. The other legends were out, celebrating at mirages bar.

         Tae was lingering in his room packing, the atmosphere felt heavy. What if this doesn't work out? He thought to him self. I mean... what do I even say? HOW DONI SAY I-

          His door burst open. Tae quickly shoved a little box under his bead. The atmosphere suddenly felt warm a joyous.

          "I have ze plane ticketz, we leave tomorrow." The short, french woman said. She walked over to Tae who was crouched over his suitcase, crouched down, and put her hand on his. "Listen, you don't have to do ziz for me, don't feel prezzured to ztay."
  
            Tae grasped her hand, and rested his head on her shoulder. " you go, I go." Nat smiled, and for some odd reason, Tae was ready to let everything go. His secret identity, the games, ... his sister.

              Nat kissed his forehead and left. Tae remained there in a trance. No, it was her fault, she crossed the line, she... she's my sister, she's my best friend! How can I just leave her!... no. She's not who she once was... shes ... corrupt.

                 Crypto looked at his watch, with a little swipe and holographic screen levitated. He kept files on everything and everyone. He opened his sisters file, and under it held her new identity. Her new name: big sister... she was gone.

                He ripped the watch off his wrist, and walked over to his closet where he grabbed a box off the top shelf. He set it down carefully. There in the box were picture frames and items of his past. He sealed up the box and set it next to the door.

           Tae walked over to his suitcase, zipped it up, set that next to the box, and sat down on his bed. Hands on his forehead. He reached under his head, and opened the small box. It held a beautiful ring.
He closed the box and sighed, "I got this."

              Nat placed all her items near the door. She turned the knob and skipped out. Down the hall. The legends just arrived. Their chattering voices all piled together as the walked into the lobby.

              Nat waited by the door for the girls. Tae and her agreed to tell everyone in their dorm as soon as they returned... this was it...
