"That's it?" She asked suspiciously.
"Yep" I frown.
"That's bullshit and you know it" Annie frowns. "You're trying to tell me that I've been on the bottom of the ocean for the last 2 hundred years?" She stared confused.
"Yes" I went to reach for her hand. She moved it back quickly.
"The last thing I remember is shooting that kid's ear off" She pointed at Will.
"She is purposefully blocking out everything to do with you guys, she connects you with the trauma" Athens added in.
"You must have knocked me out" Annie shouted at Will. He defensively put his hands up.
"I did no such thing. In fact, you knocked me out shortly after" He frowned.
"Where are we?" She asked, examining the room.
"Nowhere" I blurt out. She'll explode if she knows she is in the future. She walks over and pulls down the curtains. She stares into the large city. Skyscrapers fill the sky. Cars line the street. She stares out hypnotized.
"I believe you now" She stands coldly still. I walked up behind her and hugged her tightly, trying to comfort her. She pushed me away lightly. I stare confused at her.
"I don't know you, well atleast new me doesn't know you" She frowned.
"I'll just have to make you fall in love with me again" I look down at the ground. We suddenly hear a loud knock at the door.
"Open up, it's the police" A man yells.
"Come on" I whisper to Annie. I sneak her back to the room. I throw up the window and we crawl out onto the fire escape.

*view of Will*
The cops burst in the door. Annie and Deadshot are nowhere to be seen. Damn it. Athen opened the door calmly.
"We are looking for Annie Winchester" The man says sternly.
"Not here" Athen replied cautiously.
"Mam, we have the authority to search your house" The cop frowned and began looking through the apartment. Athen turned around to me and I just shrugged. Where did she go? Actually, where did he take her. The cops grab Athen and I. They handcuff us.
"What the hell is this? I'm an officer!" Athen yelled. Members of the FBI bust through the door. They began searching the house. They dragged us outside and slammed us into a police cruiser.

*view of Deadshot*
We stayed in the alley way. We needed to find a store or something. I had on boxers and she just had on a large hoodie. This was great. Just excellent. I see two homeless people slumped against the wall. Empty bottles of alcohol and obviously some more hardcore stuff lined around them. I quickly stripped them of their clothes. Annie stares at me angrily. I slip on the dirty shirt and pants. She just puts on the other pants, she didn't want to take more than she needed. We moved quickly down the alley way. We were almost out into the street when suddenly a guy wearing dark sunglasses and an FBI jacket steps into view. I grab Annie and pull her back into the shadows. She stayed quiet. Her warmth felt nice. I miss her already. I let go and she kneeled over. Breathing heavily. She looked sick.
"What happened?" I asked.
"I had a vision" She breathed out.
"Sit down" I helped her slide to the ground.
"Your name is Deadshot?" She asked quietly.
"Yeah" I smile.
"You saved us?" I asked again.
"If I recall, you saved us" I sit next to her.
"I shot you in the process" She shook her head. I lift up my shirt revealing the scar of where she shot me.
"It's fine now, I promise" I smirked. She slips her sleeve down revealing a scar of where the captor stabbed her.
"Are these like our friendship scars?" Annie laughed.
"Trust me, we have a lot more friendship scars than you remember" I chuckle.
"So we were friends?" Annie asked quietly.
"Yeah, for a while" I grinned.
"When did we become more?" She asked.
"In an outhouse" I smiled widely.
"Really?" Her face grew closer.
"Yeah, it was a little different" I grinned and moved my face a little closer. Her lips were an inch away from mine. I could feel her warm breathe on my face. I went in for a kiss but never made contract. She pulled her head back. "I'm sorry" I rubbed the back of my neck.
"Me too" She stands up and dusts the dirt off her bottom. We continue on our path. We hit the daylight. Two cops stood on the corner. We walked past them nonchalantly.
"Yeah, I heard the FBI took them to the base under Ellis island" I overheard their conversation.
"I didn't know they had a base there" The other cop frowned.
"Yeah, one of the FBI members let is slip out. Didn't know I was there" The cop sipped his coffee. Annie must of heard the same thing. We turned the corner and walked into a small coffee shop. We sat at a table. I left my wallet at the apartment. They've probably already found my ID and scanned it through every database. We had no money. The employees looked angry we weren't buying anything.
"What's the plan?" Annie asked. She shifted her eyes, looking for any cops.
"Ellis Island" I frowned.
"To save those other guys?" She asked
"Yeah, Will and Athen. You knew Will. Athen is new" I frown.
"Is she really your daughter?" Annie asked.
"Apparently, I just met her" I stared out the window.
"Do you plan on ever acting like her dad?" Annie asked hesitantly.
"You'd think since I had some daddy issues, I'd be up and ready to take on the role of a father. But honestly, I'm not ready" I looked down.
"Not ready? You've been alive for over 200 years. It's not that you aren't ready" Annie bit her lip.
"I can't think of anything else" I didn't make eye contact.
"Are you sure?" She squinted her eyes.
"It's just that all these years, I'd imagine settling down and starting a family. A family with you. I just didn't think my first daughter would be brought up like this" I frowned and stared into her eyes. I reached under the table and grabbed her hand. She immediately put her hand to her temples.
"Another vision" She struggled to say.
"What's happening?" I asked.
"We are on a boat. You won't talk to me" She held her head.
"Does it hurt?" I asked.
"No, just mentally" She responded. She suddenly stops. She looks up at me eerily. "You didn't say it back" Annie stared deep into my eyes.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I told you that I loved you, and you ignored me" She stared at me genuinely hurt.
"I'm-I'm sorry" I stared at her, an sympathetic frown stretches across my face.
"That's it. I'm sorry?" She shook her head lightly. She stood up and I followed behind.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"Ellis Island, like planned" Annie stared straight forward.
"We could run" We both grew silent.
"We can't, I know I don't know these people, but they know me. I've been let down many times in my life. Like my Dad-" I interrupted her.
"Kill your mom? Beat you and your brother senseless? I met him. I know. I know you've been let down. But aren't you tired of being the hero?" We both stopped.
"You met my dad?" She asked, surprise in her eyes.
"I got him killed" I said lightly.
"And no, being a hero is all I'll ever be. I'm not like you. I can't let someone else get hurt" She looked away from me.
"You don't know me. You only know me now. I've been through a lot more pain than you think over these years. I watched as my whole entire amry base was blown to smithereens. Everyone who counted on me, everyone who believed in me died. My wife and children died. I've been nothing but a hero and all I get is the stench of death" I walk fast in front of her. She runs up from behind me. She grabs my shoulder. I spin around angrily. She reaches in for a kiss. I move my head back, rejecting her. I turn around and continue on my way. She follows behind silently. We finally get to the ferry.
"Two tickets" I frown at the dock lady.
"That'll be 36$" The woman smiles cheerily.
"Shit" I see a boat docked a little ways down. "Follow me" I frown at Annie.
