I do not own Inception yet I wish I could have kissed JGL instead of Ellen.

Summary: Post Inception, it seems that everyone is going to get what they want after the job is done. Arthur and Ariadne reveal their true feelings but in an instant it is all shattered. Making them all question what is reality and dreams. The team will be pulled into their most dangerous job yet, where old friends and enemies lurk. In order to save all that is dear to them they must find a way to stay alive at all costs. AxA pairing

It had felt like hours since he had snuck that kiss in the dream, yet as Ariadne touched her lips she could still feel them tingling. Her mind was in a state of overdrive and shock from what had just occurred moments before. They had completed the job, the rush overwhelming as she smiled over at Cobb they had survived limbo, they had survived Inception. She the saw the relief in Arthurs eyes as Cobb and Saito both awoke. She knew the point man would never admit how much he really cared for all of them but she could see it in his eyes as he looked at Cobb. She stared at him a moment longer before she felt eyes on her, Arthur smirked his half smile back at her. Ariadne blushed as she knew she was caught staring for too long. Once the plane had finished taxing the runway; the final test however had yet to come for them, making it through customs.

She was truly worried for Cobb as they all stood in customs each in separate lines; she knew everyone was holding their breath as it came time for his passport to be stamped. It seemed for a second he was doubted, but Ariadne soon released her breath as she saw him walk right on thru. Cobb truly walked like a new man as he made his way through the crowded airport no doubt to see Professor Miles on the other side of the gate. Ariadne was truly happy to have been able to help Cobb get back to his children; she would have endured limbo again just to see this moment again. Her walk through customs had been a breeze, walking towards the luggage trolley she couldn't help but feel the sadness that she might never see the team again. She shook the thought from her head though as she concentrated on grabbing her bag. At the very least they weren't supposed to have contact with each other for a week lest someone could become suspicious. Arthur was to contact them all after he made sure all their tracks were covered. 'Arthur' just thinking his name just made her lips tingle. The kiss left her even more confused then ever. Throughout all her training sessions there had been tension between them but she had brushed it off as nothing. Now this kiss brought a whole other world of possibilities in her head, if it wasn't already overloaded enough as it is. 'Damn you Arthur' she thought to herself as she grabbed her bag and walked out of the terminal and into the warm Los Angeles weather.

With all her musings she had lost track of Arthur, Eames, and Yusef sadly she hoped she would see them again before heading off into a normal life again, if she could ever see herself in one again after what she saw what she could do in dreams. Reaching into her pants pocket she gripped her totem hard the edges of the bishop reassuringly let her know that this was reality. Out of her stupor she hailed a cab to take her to her hotel room. Ariadne hoped to get some sleep and then get herself back on a plane to Paris as soon as possible. Climbing into the cab she told the driver the address but before he could drive off another person stepped into the cab. Ariadne was about to protest until she saw that it was none other than Arthur looking back at her with his piercing eyes and three piece suit glory. The driver not waiting for Arthurs request sped off onto the road, leaving Ariande to only ponder why the point man was sitting next to her.

Arthur had always been the one for planning making sure he was three steps ahead of everyone else. Not seeing Fischer's training against them was a major blow and threw him through a loop. Yet the second level caused him to question everything he thought about in life and that was Ariadne. He knew he shouldn't have tricked her into the kiss. It was for his own selfish need to quell the never ending thoughts he had about her. He thrown caution to the wind because he didn't know for sure that they were all going to come out of the dream alive. The short chaste kiss only made him want more though, it took all his willpower not to pin her to the door of the room they were setting the charges and kiss her senseless. No woman had ever had this affect on him, and yet Ariadne was no ordinary woman. Leaving the plane he was relieved that they had finally gotten Cobb home to his kids. He watched as the rest of the team dispersed through customs quickly. Yusef hurriedly walked to the next gate in order to make his flight home. Eames had already begun chatting up a stewardess, mostly likely using his charms. He was most concerned though for their beautiful Architect. He watched as she grabbed her bag and headed out of the terminal, he followed her same path as he debated breaking his own rules. They were supposed to not see or speak to each other for at least a week if not longer in order for him to make sure all their tracks were covered.

He knew in his gut that they had gotten out completely clean yet his ever organized mind conflicted his thought process. He had never been in a situation that was out of his control before. Where he stood outside in the Los Angeles sun he was in control until he spotted Ariadne once more. Gripping his loaded die he Arthur thought of his options turn around and regret it or for once try to take one uncontrolled step and see where it led him. Rushing after the image of Ariadne getting into a cab Arthur knew he only had one shot at this or she would most likely walk out of his life for good. Before he could change his mind he pushed his way into the cab looking at her he could tell she was annoyed until she looked him in the face. The widening of her eyes and the light blush that formed around her cheeks reassured his mind and heart that he had for once made the right choice.
