We made it to Atlanta and we're just now leaving the airport to meet Sawyer outside. I'm still hiding my face as best I can because there's paps and fans basically everywhere because they know filming starts now. And quite frankly, I would like to avoid the media bombarding me with questions and making up theories. We walk outside where Sawyers car is parked by the curb and he's leaning against the car. When he sees us he perks up. We walk up to him. "Hello. How was your flight?" He asks. I keep my gaze on the floor, my hood, hat, and hair covering my face. "Uh, it was good, yeah." Tom answers. "Good. I'll put your bags in the trunk for you." He says, and we hand him our bags. He takes them to the back and me and Tom get in the back seats of the car. Once the doors are closed I flip my hood off and take off my hat. I rake a hand through my hair to push it out of my face. I do up my seat belt and slouch in my seat and lean my head against the window. "How are you feeling?" Tom asks. "Better. Tired, but better." I answer. "Well,  just need to go to the studio and see what they need me to do then we can see where you and Harrison will be staying." He explains. I nod and Sawyer gets back in the car.He starts up the car and starts driving. I know he probably knows about the "mugging" that happened, and that's why he's not asking questions.

We get to the studio and Sawyer gets let through the gate and drives up to the main doors. Everyone of import here should know the fake story of what happened so I don't need to cover my face here. Tom and I get out of the car and he tells Sawyer to wait outside while we go in. Together me and Tom go inside and go to Jons office. Tom knocks and waits for the response to come in. "Come in!" Jon calls. Tom opens the door and we both walk in."Tom, Xena, it's good to see you. I heard what happened at the airport, I'm terribly sorry and hope you feel better soon." Jon says. "Thanks." I respond quietly. "So, Tom. We need you, as you know, to get resized for the stark suit and then we'll have some other things we'll need you to do." Jon explains. "Okay, so what about Xena? Where's she going?" Tom asks. "Right. We have an house rented out for her and Harrison to use for the time they're here. You can stay there some nights if you wish, but we'll need you on set a lot since this is your movie so it'll be easier for you to just stay in your trailer." Jon tells us. "Does Sawyer know where the house is?" I speak up. "He does." Jon answers. I nod and make my way for the door. "Can you just give me one second?" I hear Tom ask Jon. I walk into the hallway and start making my way to the front of the building. "Xena!" I hear Tom call out. I then feel his hand wrap around my arm and he tugs, causing me to spin around and face him. "You okay?" He asks worriedly. "I'm fine. I just really need to get somewhere where I can be alone for a bit." I tell him. "Okay, just, be safe. I'll stay at the house for a few days so I'll be there when I can okay?" I nod and he kisses my forehead. I then turn around and continue walking to the front of the building. Eventually I get there and go outside. Sawyer is still waiting there like we asked him to. "Where to?" He asks as I approach the car. "The house Jon says you know where it is?" I ask. "Yep." He answers. I nod ad we both get in the car.

We arrive at the house about 30 minutes later. Sawyer pulls into the driveway. They made sure it wasn't far from the studio, so that's great. I get out and look at the house. There's what I'm assuming is a rental car in the driveway. the house is nice from the outside. Expensive, as always, but nice.
