Leap of Faith - Assassins Creed X National Treasure - Reader Insert Fanfiction

Chapter 10

You walk back to the entrance of the empty room and look for a way back to the surface. From what you can tell, you might be able to get out. You had to admit,  getting to the closest wooden walkway, without something like a grappling hook, was definitely going to be a problem.

You could overhear Ben and Patrick's conversation but choose not to listen in.

I don't care if they're arguing. Just don't bring me into it. You think, running a hand through your hair.

You walk back into the chamber, not wanting to, but needing to tell them of your lack thereof discovery.

"This room is real, Ben. Therefore the treasure is real," Patrick says. "We're in the company of some of the greatest minds in history, and all because you found the clues they left behind, and understood the meaning of it. And all because you did it Ben! For all of us."

He's got a point there. I probably would have had the worst luck on the Arctic expedition.

"Your grandfather, and all of us. I've never been so happy to be proven wrong." He says sounding like he's about to start crying.

"I just. Really thought I was going to find the treasure." Ben says.

"Ok. Then we just keep looking. "

"I'm in." Abigail says.

"Ok."

"Me too." Riley says.

Not wanting to be the odd one out you say, "Once I get cell reception, I'll clue my boss in on it. Then I'm game."

You pull out your phone to check. Nope, no bars. But that doesn't surprise you, you're currently below the Subway.

You switch off the screen and see something as you're sliding it back in your pocket.

The torches. They're flickering as if there's still an air current.

"Hey Ben," You say, "Even I'd have difficulty climbing back the way we came. What's the chance there's something like a back door?"

"Pretty good because the Masons would have one too. Let. Air. In. Y/N you're a genius!" Ben exclaims, "Everyone start looking for something that doesn't belong here."

"What's going on?" Riley asks.

You rush to a wall and switch on your Eagle Vision, looking for anything that doesn't fit. Even if it's an oddly chipped bit of stone.

"It's another clue!" Ben calls, as he too starts looking.

After a few moments of searching, Ben finds something.

Everyone gathers around. It's a circle on the wall about the size of the opening of a large mug.

Ben wipes away the cobwebs to reveal two impressions in the wall.

Ben pulls the carved pipe out of his jacket, he had gotten back from Ian. It glitters in the torchlight.

"The secret lies with Charlotte. Is it really that simple?" Ben whispers, turning the ivory carved pipe over in his hands.

He slides the carved part into the hole in the wall.

It's a perfect fit.

He then slides the connector part of the stem into the circle just below the hole for the carved pipe.

It fits too.

Everyone holds their breath as Ben rotates the pipe stem, turning the whole contraption in a circle. He then pushes it in, as if locking in his final answer.
