Summary: The Inception is successfully complete. Cobb is finally able to get back to his kids… or so he thought. What happens when Saito doesn't keep his word?
Author's Note: This is my first fanfic ever so have mercy on me. This plot just popped into my head while I was sleeping the other day. I saw Inception a while ago and I just thought that Arthur and Ariadne were so adorable. Please leave a review.
Disclaimer: Inception does not belong to me, but to Christopher Nolan.
Ariadne sits at her desk in her boring flat trying to study. It's been three months since the Inception on Fischer. No one has contacted her, but she assumes that everyone is doing well.
Getting back to her life was actually no struggle at all. Once she got back to school everyone acted as if she was never gone. (Courtesy of Professor Miles). All her friends invited her to coffee the next morning, and she had gladly accepted the offer. That's how all the months had gone by so far. But for some reason she could never get her mind off of shared dreaming for too long.
She was starting to miss everyone on the team, especially one particular man with slicked-back hair and always wearing three-piece suits. Arthur had been the one to teach her almost everything she knew about shared dreaming. He had been one of her best mentors ever. Ariadne knew she was starting to have a little crush on Arthur. No Ariadne, you do not have a crush on Arthur because you hardly know him and you will most likely never see him again.
Ariadne got up from her desk, deciding that she should go get something to eat. She checked the clock. 12:17 p.m. She'd been sitting there so long trying to study she hadn't even realized how late it had gotten.
She wandered into the tiny, poorly lit kitchen of her flat and searched through the wooden cabinet. The cabinets were too high up for her to see what was inside so she simply put her hand in and felt around. Her hand touched a box and she yanked it out of the cabinet. Frosted Flakes. Perfect. She poured herself a bowl and sat down on the couch in her living room. Ariadne knocked over her totem. Reality. She didn't even bother to turn on the TV, content with just hearing the crunching sound the frosted flakes made.
Then she heard a knock on her door.
"Who the hell could that be?" she asked herself as she went to open the door.
She slowly opened the door, to reveal a tall man in all black pointing a gun right at her head.
"Move," he grumbled firmly.
Confused and in total shock, Ariadne did as she was told. The man followed behind her, still pointing the gun at her.
He led her outside and into a black car.
"Get in," he told her.
She stepped into the car to see Saito and… Arthur?
"Saito? Arthur? What's going on?"
"Ariadne, Saito's bringing everyone from the team back together," Arthur told her, "he wants to tell us something." Arthur looked at Saito expectantly.
"Well Miss Ariadne," Saito said in his heavy accent, "I'm afraid I have to kill al of you."
