"Legacy"
FULL SUMMERY- Max sees all the signs of a hostile takeover from Erudite; with Eric paving the way for them against his will. In over his head; Max calls on a secret organization called "Legacy" a group of altered soldiers from dauntless that are secretly moved outside the fence to become… more... and only the head leader of the warrior faction has the privilege of knowing about the program. Ada Jade is a legacy soldier; the only one ever born into the legacy program. She's the fastest, Strongest, smartest, deadliest and the hardest to control but she's lethal and efficient, she gets the job done without killing her target and that is exactly what Max wants- To save Eric from Erudite's clutches...
CHAPTER 1|ERIC
"Damn it Jeanine, I fucking told you that I'm on it. Max is complicated, it will take some time to get him to agree to your plans; if at all" I seethe through the phone at the bane of my existence. Fucking bitch is what she is!
"Well I'm working on a serum to get him to comply, and Eric; it's a permanent one, so if you don't want to lose your friend for good I suggest you persuade him. You have two weeks" The bitch says then hangs the phone up on me.
"Fuck" I yell out of pure frustration.
I can't lose my only friend but that god awful woman has my sister's divergence hanging over my head. If I don't help her take down the government my sister becomes her next disposable lab rat, and I can't have that. So I'm basically up shit creek without a paddle.
"Eric" Max says standing in the doorway of my office "is everything ok" he asks truly concerned.
"Yes" I growl "I'm perfect, what do you want; I'm busy" I ask impatiently.
"I need you in my office, now" he says as he leaves my doorway without another word.
"Shit" I grumble under my breath as I get up from my desk and follow him. God, I hope he didn't hear my conversation with the devil.
When I walk into Max's office I notice we're not alone. A small woman is standing in front of the window, looking out at the ruined city. Her hair is raven colored and braided down her back. Her skin tone is tanned and flawless, well of what I can tell from where I'm standing. She's dressed in black skin tight pants that show every curve and they're paired with a blood red tank top. She's has a gun strapped to her right thigh, a bigger gun strapped to her left hip, and knives strapped to her arms. She looks positively deadly! Who the fuck is this woman?
"Ada Jade, this is Eric Coulter your new partner" Max says and I look at him like he's fucking crazy.
"What the fuck do you mean partner; I don't do partners Max" I growl at my oldest and only friend.
"You do now" I hear a strong and controlled voice coming from the tiny woman.
I look up and barely contain the gasp that wants to escape my lips. Ada has the brightest green eyes I have ever seen and a tattoo on her right temple that surrounds her eye closely and disappears in her hairline. The way she's staring at me is controlled and calculating like she's studying me, reading my every move; the way she holds her self, you can tell she'll never concede to anyone or anything. This woman is not from dauntless, I don't know if it's her eyes that tell me this or her very presence. She is fucking beautiful!
She gives a subtle nod and before I know what's happening I'm on the floor with a heavy weight holding me face down and Max and Ada's boots five inches from my face. Who the fuck is holding me down?
"Eric" Max squats down and smiles at me "I know you are working with Erudite, and you'll tell me everything or you will leave dauntless without your memory"
Fuck, how in the hell does he know that. Come on Eric cover your tracks; you're good at this now fucking lie.
"That wouldn't be wise, Eric" Ada smiles at me as she squats next to Max. What the fuck?
"Eric, we will help you. You just need to be honest" Max motions for the person to let me go and as soon as I am is standing, I come face to face with the man I thought was faction-less or dead.
"Four?" I ask him completely fucking confused "what the hell is going on and "we", seriously Max. The last time this asshole and I worked together, we almost killed each other" I continue to glare "and where in the fuck is she from" I point at the woman then turn to Max and glare at him "what the fuck is going on"
"Legacy" he says and I raise my pierced brow at him "from outside the fence and they will end you if you tell anyone" I roll my eyes "they will know Eric and you will die if you tell anyone, especially someone in Erudite"
I have to figure out a way to get out of this shit. I can't let Jeanine hurt my sister; son of a bitch, Max is going to get Tracy killed.
"He is not working with Jeanine because he wants to, Max" Ada approaches me and stares in to my eyes and I instantly feel calm "Jeanine has his sister, she's divergent" Ada smiles at me warmly "she's nineteen and chose Erudite last year"
"What are you" I ask, not taking my eyes from hers.
"Different" she shrugs and looks back to Max "I can help him, Max"
"What do you mean you can help me" I look to a smiling Max.
"We're going get your sister and take Jeanine down in the process" Max shrugs "Ada and four will pose as your new recruits and four will go back to helping you train initiates; Ada will follow you like a shadow, even to Erudite" I begin to shake my head.
"Jeanine will see right through her" I tell him.
"I've been doing this kind of thing a lot longer than you have Eric" she finally moves away from me "all I need is for you to introduce me"
"So it's settled, oh and Eric" Max says with a smile "Ada is your new roommate too, four will be staying with me" he says before opening his office door "before you head to training show her to your apartment so she can drop off her things and four will meet you guys there shortly"
"Fine, but if my sister gets hurt because of your actions" I get in Max's face "I promise I'll bring this entire faction down on your head" I growl lowly so no one will hear.
"Fare enough" he says as he shuts his door.
"Come on" I growl leading Ada out of the office wing and to the leader's apartment wing.
"This is your room" I tell her opening my guestroom door.
Ada drops her bags just inside the door then turns to me "lets go" she says and I raise my eyebrows at her and she rolls her eyes "training, I'm your shadow remember" she steps past me and I growl in frustration.
Once we make it to the training room my mood has gotten a lot worse, this woman is gonna get fucking shot if she doesn't stop eyeing me like I'm about to hurt someone and reading my damn mind.
"Take your hand off your gun Ada; I'm not going to hurt anyone" I growl as I open the training room door for her.
"I read your mind Eric so I'm not going to stand by and let you shoot me for something I can't control" she says in a weird tone as she passes me.
"Zeke" I call out and he looks up at me as does all the initiates "I said Zeke! Get back to work" I yell at the little fuckers.
"You think they're they ready for some real fighting" I say as I look at the lack of talent that is this year's initiate class.
"Not even close" the asshole says as he looks at Ada and when I turn I see that she is standing at the ready like she is waiting for a command.
"At ease soldier" I roll my eyes and lean into her ridged form "If you act like that in front of Jeanine you just might fit in" I laugh.
Ada relaxes her body and looks around; I can tell it goes against her training, but her eyes stay on guard; taking in everything like she expects someone to attack her.
"Who is this" Zeke ask and Ada looks at him and stick out her hand.
"Ada Jade, Eric's new partner and shadow" she says turning to grin at me and I resist the urge to punch her.
"Try it" her grin brightens and Zeke looks at the both of us like we're crazy; he shakes her hand and chuckles.
"You're from dauntless?" he asks skeptically "I've never seen you before."
"I kept to my self until Max thought I need to get out more and meet people" she shrugs and I'll be damned, if I didn't know any better I would believe that lie. "Starting with dauntless' resident people person" she smiles and point to me.
"Fuck you Ada" I growl and glare at her just as four walks in and Zeke looks about to shit himself.
Four begins to laugh really hard; drawing the attention of the entire class. The asshole is now doubled over clutching his fucking stomach "Oh my god Zeke you look like you just saw a ghost" he continues to laugh.
Zeke squeals like a girl and jumps into four arms before getting thrown on the floor hard "What the hell bro" Zeke say as he gets off the floor rubbing his ass "where the fuck have you been asshole"
"That's classified" he responds giving Ada a side glance "and how many times do I have to tell you not to do that shit when I walk in a room?"
"Dude you can't blame me; it's been two fucking years since I saw you last" Zeke says as I turn back to the initiates ignore the moron reunion.
"Since you all can't follow orders and mind you own business; you can start fighting today" I look around the room and notice the stiff staring at four like she knows him "First jumper" I yell but her eyes never leave fours oblivious form "Stiff" I yell louder and both her and four look at me "Last jumper, in the ring"
"Eric they're not ready" Zeke glares at me for taking my frustrations out on his little friend!
Ada and four both give me a questioning looks but I ignore them.
"And they never will be unless you stop babying them Zeke" I roll my eyes just as the bigger girl Molly speaks.
"How long do we fight for" Molly asks in a bored tone.
"Until one of you concedes" Zeke speaks before I can.
"No conceding" I yell "you'll fight until one of you can't continue" I glance at Ada and notice a small smile on her face but four looks ready to kill me, interesting. "FIGHT" I yell then turn to Ada "What are you grinning about soldier" I bump my shoulder into hers as I turn back to the fight just to see the stiff take a left hook to the jaw.
"This reminds me of my training, except..." she stops and turns to me then shakes her head like she's trying to clear it.
"Except what" I ask just as Zeke helps his favorite stiff off the matt.
"Nothing" She says and I notice her entire body has gone ridged again.
"Ok" I roll my eyes "Next fight Peter vs Edward!"
-Hey guys- I've been writing this fic for a long time, every chance I get I add to it and hope you all like it…I have a tendency to not finish as you all may have gathered from all my other fic's- I really do intend to finish them; it just may take a while-
It has been a shitty year because of the death of my sister back in September and the death of my cousin that was like a brother to me right before the new year so…Yeah I kind of lost my motivation but hopefully I can get back in the groove of things…hopefully!
