Summary: They were all allowed to bring a plus one… only Daniel did though. Daniel/OC

Chapter 1- The Card

3rd POV

Thuds of a pair of boots were heard as a girl walked down the hall. The clinking of her dog tags gave away what she did as a living.

"You are such an asshole!" A girl yelled from a door and she slammed it shut. She was half naked, and the woman raised her eyebrows as she watched the girl get dressed as she walked.

The woman went and knocked on the same door, and a man opened the door. J. Daniel Atlas to be precise.

"Oh my God," Daniel said with a grin. The woman smiled and Daniel ushered the woman in and hugged her.

Daniel stared at the woman in front of him. Adriana Lawrence wasn't your average everyday girl. She entered the Marines when she turned eighteen, dropping out of high school, and following in her father's footsteps who died in war. She had blonde hair, blue-green eyes, and she always had her hair in a hat or in a ponytail.

"How are you?" Daniel asked, "Stupid question- how long are you staying?"

Adriana laughed and said, "For as long as I want. I haven't reenlisted just yet."

"Seriously!?" Daniel pulled her into another hug, "You want something to eat, drink?"

Adriana laughed and said, "Dani, I'm fine. I just want to hang out with my best friend."

Daniel's heart sunk a little at the "best friend" part but none-the-less, he still smiled at her and said, "Alright then."

Next Day (Adriana POV)

"How did you drag me into this?" I asked Daniel as I had my arms crossed as we sat in a taxi.

"I can bring a plus one," Daniel said to me with a smile, "Here, look for yourself."

I grabbed the tarot card from Daniel's hand, and read the back:

MARCH 29
4:44 PM
EAST EVAN ST.
NY, NY
YOU MAY BRING ONE MORE PERSON WITH YOU.
BUT THEY MUST BE TRUSTWORTHY.

"Creepy," I said handing him the card back, "Since when am I trustworthy?"

"You're in the Marines- you're trustworthy." Daniel said as the cab stopped. I rolled my eyes as he got out and I grabbed a twenty and was about to hand it to the driver but he said, "It's free for our soldiers."

I smiled at him and said, "Thank you!"

I got out, and looked at the apartment building and said, "My first day back from Afghanistan and this is what I get myself into- an old, creepy, apartment building." I turned to Daniel, "You so owe me."

Daniel just smiled at me.

"Adriana? Is that you?" I heard. I turned around and saw Henley Reeves grinning at me. I smiled and said, "Henley!"

I ran over and hugged her and Danielle said, "So you two know each other?"

"Yeah, when she was your assistant remember?" I asked Daniel. He nodded slowly and I sighed and said, "That one time I came back, and you were at a show. I went backstage and Henley was there and we talked."

"We became close friends," Henley said with a smile.

Daniel nodded. I rolled my eyes as Henley and I started walking towards the door.

"So how has Afghanistan been?" Henley asked. I gulped and Daniel saved me saying, "She doesn't like talking about it."

"Just remember I'm always here for you, whenever you wanna talk," Henley said to me with a smile. I nodded and said, "Thanks Henley."

"Don't forget about me; I'm here for you too," Daniel said, and I smirked and wrapped my arm around his neck bringing him down to my level and said, " I could never forget about you, Dani boy."

He rolled his eyes at the name, but picked me up making me squeal and clutch onto him tightly. Henley laughed as we walked up the stairs and said, "So I take it Dri is you're plus one, Dani?"

Daniel nodded and I told him, "You drop me and you die."

Daniel just smiled at me. We suddenly stopped walking as we all saw a bald dude with a fedora standing in front of the door. Henley stopped beside us and we all said, "Oh."

Henley showed her card, and the man said, "Oh, kay, so apparently none of us was the only one chosen. Let me be the first one to kick my ego to the curb."

"Excuse me-"

"-Doors' locked," The man said. Daniel set me down, and he attempted to open the door and I watched, amused.

"Wait, hold on, don't tell me…" The man said to Henley and I raised an eyebrow.

"Helen?" The man asked and Daniel and I looked over at the two of them, and the man said, "No, no, Henley?"

"It's on your coffee cup," Daniel and I said together. Henley looked at her coffee cup noticing the name on the side. The man nodded and said, "You're keeping me honest. That wasn't mentalism; that was an observation. Second observation is you are beautiful," The man aimed the last part at me. I rolled my eyes and Daniel said, "She knows how to kill you in over fifty different ways. I'd stay away."

I shot Daniel a glare and shook the man's hand saying, "I'm Adriana Lawrence, that dummy's plus one."

"I'm Merritt McKinney."

"That's nice, very polished, J. Daniel Atlas," Daniel said holding out his hand. Merritt was going to shake his hand but instead gave him the finger. I laughed.

"I know who you are, and I'm not interested in you doing your mentalist thing on me," Daniel said, "Especially since we don't know who brought us here-"

"-I got it… I'm sensing you're a control freak."

"I-I'm sorry, have we met before?" Daniel asked. I laughed and said, "It doesn't take a mentalist to figure that out, you are a control freak."

"Well, I take that as a compliment," Daniel said and I shook my head. As Daniel and Henley talked, Merritt said to me, "So what do you do for a living?"

"I'm in the Marines," I shrugged. Merritt tipped his hat and said, "Well then I'm honored to be in your acquaintance."

Then there were walking sounds and we all turned. He was pretty good looking, but I had my eyes on someone else.

"No way, J. Daniel Atlas," The guy said noticing Daniel. I held back a groan.

"Dude I have seen everything you have ever done, you're like- I idolize you, seriously."

"True fan," Daniel said and I rolled my eyes.

"I'm Jack by the way."

"Quick question, did you get one of these?" Merritt asked holding up his card.

"Yeah, yeah," Jack said pulling out his card, "Death."

Henley held hers up and said, "The High Priestess."

Daniel held his up and said, "The Lover." I coughed and said, "Three minutes."

Daniel glared at me and I grinned.

"The Hermit."

"And she's my plus one," Henley said pulling me towards her. Daniel raised his eyebrow and I said, "Girl power."

Merritt and Jack chuckled.

"So what? Are we waiting for someone? Why are we just-" Jack asked.

"-The door's locked," We all said.

"No, no," Jack said, "Nothing's ever locked."

He bent down and unlocked the door with two paper clips. He did it quickly and as we all walked in Daniel passed me and said, "I could've broken in, but that'd be impolite."

Henley laughed and I smiled as I walked ahead of everybody pulling out a flashlight. I winced as I looked in all of the rooms.

"And I thought Dani's apartment was gross," I muttered.

"Hey!" Daniel said.

"Hi," I smirked.

"Man it's freezing in here," Jack said.

We walked until we made it to a room and Henley said, "What's that?"

"I don't know," Daniel said and I picked up the card on the floor.

"What's it say?" Merritt asked.

"Now You Don't," I said with a raised eyebrow.

"A rose by any other name," Henley said and placed the rose that was in the vase of water that was also on the floor. Water came out of the bottom of the vase, and headed for the indent on the floor.

"Look at that," Merritt said as all the water filled it up.

"Whoa," Daniel said, and then all the water suddenly dropped and steam came up.

"It's gas," Jack said, and I said, "Relax it's just dry ice."

"Cool."

"What do you think this is all about?" Daniel asked.

"Hang on, hang on," Merritt said and we all watched him patiently.

"I got nothing," Merritt said, and I sighed.

"Okay, thank you for the delay," Daniel said and I chuckled.

"I'm just trying to create the space for wisdom," Merritt said and I raised an eyebrow.

"Dani, be honest- did you do this?" Henley asked Daniel.

"No," Daniel said, and he turned to Jack, "Did you?"

"I wish."

"Why didn't anyone asked me if I did it?" Merritt asked and cleared my throat and decided to put my flashlight in my bag.

"Electricity's out," Jack said when he saw Daniel messing with the light-switch.

"Well let's check," Merritt said, and he turned a light-bulb, and all the sudden blue lights came forwards, and I jumped placing a hand on my side, waiting for my gun to be there and it wasn't, so my breathing was labored. A hand was placed on my arm, and my head whipped around and I was tense. I relaxed seeing Daniel.

"You okay?" He asked.

I just smiled and said, "Yeah. I'm fine."

"Liar," Daniel whispered to me.

I turned back to the blue things and I squinted my eyes and said, "They're blueprints."

"They're incredible."

They were making/mapping/showing us something.

"Who do you think did this?" Jack asked.

"I don't know, but I really want to meet them," Henley said in awe.

"It's a show," I noted.

"Wow."

Daniel leaned forwards and touched one of the blueprint piece thingies that was floating.

AN: TADA! Told you I'd have it up by today :)
