Wow! Thank you for all the love guys! I am sorry it took me so long to update I started a summer job and the hours have been crazy! I will try to update as soon as I can. I am planning to write another chapter today!
Chapter Two: The Meeting
When Dylan Rhodes emerged from the purple sheet he was amazed to see he was in his own apartment on Fourteenth Street. How had Lula known where to take them, he had no idea.
"So are you going to answer my questions now?" Lula asks him.
"Ok," Dylan agrees moving towards the couch in the center of the room, "go ahead, you have my full attention."
Lula continued question after question for what seemed like hours until she was satisfied she had all the answers. "So, what is going to happen now? What is my first mission?" Lula asks pacing.
"Well you need to meet the guys. Starting with Daniel, if Atlas doesn't approve of you then you won't make any headway with the others. You will go to Daniel's apartment and show him some of your moves, and then disappear. I will leave how you do it, up to you."
"How will I know where to find him," Lula asks, Dylan produces a piece of paper from his pocket with a Queens address written on it, "Oh an address that seems so simple for a magician…Alright I will go first thing in the morning! Have a great night Dylan." And with that Lula disappeared into the night to plan her first trick for the horsemen.
The next morning Lula woke to the sound of construction outside her window. Cursing the city workers of New York for waking her up so early in the morning, Lula began to gather her supplies for the day.
Lula left the apartment around noon to head over to Daniels place. When she arrived no one was there and she began her plan to amaze.
Several Hours Later…
Daniel opened the door to his apartment, still thinking about his meeting with The Eye. When he entered his apartment there was a woman there laying on his couch.
"Ok, who are you and how the hell did you get in here?" Daniel asks staring down the girl.
"Well I could tell you about how I got in here but that would ruin the fun wouldn't it Atlas?" Suddenly a large knife falls from the ceiling and chops Lula's head off, blood pouring from her neck onto Atlas's clean floors.
Daniel walks away and grabs a bottle of water from the fridge, "Yes, that's very impressive, but let me ask you again. Who are you and how did you get into my apartment?"
"You know I am a little disappointed that you didn't like my trick. I worked hard on that one; I need something else to impress you. I bet if Jack were here he would be impressed by my magic."
Atlas turned and saw the young woman sitting on a bar stool at his kitchen counter. How she had managed to leave the couch and move to the bar stool without him noticing was impressive. But, he wasn't going to allow the young woman to know that yet.
"Jacks dead…you know that. He died in a car accident last year."
"Yeah, I know that's not true. I know Jack is alive and I know Henley left and I know you are still emotionally raw from her leaving." Daniel turned and looked at the woman.
"You can't know all those things," Daniel grabs a string of rope and begins to bind her hands, "Since you know all this I can't let you leave. You could be a danger to us all."
Atlas tries three times to bind Lula's hands but each time she continues to hand the rope back to him.
"Listen, I am not a danger to you guys I just want you to let me join the group. I can help come on." Lula begs Atlas.
"No, I am taking you to the rest of the group until we find out what to do with you."
"Not going to happen Daniel," and with that Lula pulls the clothe from her hand and disappears into thin air.
"That is not good." Daniel says to the empty room.
Back in his apartment Dylan Rhodes is sitting on his couch planning the next move for the Four Horsemen. With Lula the four horsemen are truly one again and can right wrongs and change things for so many people. Out of the corner of his eye Dylan sees a swirl of purple and Lula steps out of it.
"Lula…how did things go with Atlas? Did you get a chance to talk to him?"
"I for sure got his attention Dylan, he tried to tie me up and bring me to you and the rest of the guys. I think it is safe to say we will be seeing each other again fairly soon."
"Sooner than you think, I have called together a meeting of the four horsemen to introduce you to the others and plan out our next move."
Lula plops down on Rhodes couch and begins talking through the plan for her debut act with the four horsemen. They get to her role in the production when the door slams open. Atlas is talking to two other men about a woman in his apartment when they stop and see Lula and Dylan smiling up at them.
"She's with you…" Daniel starts out.
"No," Dylan tells him, "she's with us… guys this is Lula, she is the new horsemen."
Lula smiling looks at Dylan and then up the stairs to the other members of her group. Daniel is surprised; Merritt is smiling that perverted smile, and Jack, the one she is most eager to meet can't take his eyes away from her.
