I'm Not Ready

Inside Plan

I am so sorry for not writing! My grandma got out of surgery so I'm basically babysitting her. I finally have time to write!

Wade's P.O.V.

As I'm sitting outside of "Sorento's" office, I tap my foot anxiously against the floor. Sorento hasn't revealed anything that has caught my interest, so I just stand. Until:

"Ya know, I have a person that might be of interest to your friend. What's his name... Wade?"

I snap my head up when I hear my name flow from his smirked lips.

"Daito" responds, "Oh yeah, who would that be?" His eyebrows angled and his head tilted.

"I've found out her real identity, would you like to know?" He says while glancing around the room. His eyes then land on his chair thing and his eyebrows furrow.

"Shit, we have a problem, guys."

Sorento lifts his hands and takes off his real visor. He pixelates away. I'm not worried though. The actual Daito and Sho have already had enough of a head start.

I glance over at Aech with a smirk.

Now we wait.

Sorento's P.O.V.

I finally get my visor off and snap my eyes open. The girl is gone. Shit.

I race out of my office and run into one of my workers. His eyes glance at me with confusion.

"My asset is missing. Find her."

"Yes, sir," he replies in a shaky voice and runs off.

I sigh and run my hand over my face. At least we have that Art3mis...

Wade's P.O.V.

I'm sitting in the van waiting for them to show up. I lace and unlace my fingers. I've never been more anxious in my life.

As I'm contemplating our next move, the van doors swing open. I see a sweating Daito, a struggling Sho, and a passed out Ty.

She's here, actually here.

I've never seen someone more beautiful. I know I've already seen her once, but this time she's not forcing her expression. Her short, blonde hair is laying over her forehead, her eyes shut as if she's asleep. I stop my gawking when Daito speaks.

"I gave her the serum as soon as I found her. She instantly passed out, which is a good thing. She should be waking up here in a bit."

He lays her down on the floor and heads up to the front with Sho to talk over minor details. I crouch down next to Ty and gaze. I couldn't help but smile. I brush some of her hair out of her forehead and she suddenly jolts up.

She pants and snaps her head all around. Her eyes finally land on me. She quirks her head and I know she doesn't know what any of us look like in reality, except Ari.

"Hey, Ty," I say with a smile.

She starts tearing up and instantly hugs me. She starts sobbing into my shoulder while clutching onto my shirt. I hug her back and try to hold back my tears. I thought Sorento killed her, but I'm thankful she's alive.

We part and she's smiling through the tears. I smile back, and I glance over to see Daito, Sho, and Aech all smiling as well.

She's here. Everything's alright.

Riptid3's P.O.V.

I can't believe I actually got here. I'm surrounded by the people that I care about most, well, except for Arti. But we have a plan for her, that's what Aech told me.

"Hey, Z, Ty, the back left part of the truck got something stuck in it, I think a piece of scrap metal of something. Could you guys get it out?"

"Sure," I chirp and head outside with Parzival, or should I say, Wade. I know my closest friends real names and faces. They only got half of that on me.

I step out of the van and immediately notice the metal. I just look at it, I don't know why though...

"You good?" I hear from Wade.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I reply. I try to distract my thoughts by prying out what's in the van, but Wade seems to be the only thing my brain can think of.

"Sorento said he found out your real identity..." I suddenly stop moving.

Does Wade know?

I glance up at him and take in his appearance. His face sends shivers down my spine and I don't know why.

"And..?" I respond.

"I mean- you don't have to tell me if you don't want to, but I was wondering... what's you actual name?" I glance at the ground.

I though when this moment arrived, I would be more cautious and not able to tell him. But now that it's here, I feel so relaxed around Wade. I trust him. So... I guess I should.

I sigh and look him in the eyes.

"My name is Andromeda Sorento."
