"What's bad, Dear?"

Phoenix turned in surprise, "Oh Kaechia. You startled me. Anyway I was just thinking on how difficult it'll be to achieve my current goal."

"And what is that?" Kaechia asked curiously.

"Fixing everybody's memories," Phoenix said confidently.

"I'm not sure there's a way to return their lost memories as they were never truly lost in the first place," the archive voice explained.

Phoenix glared at it, "Sure there is!"

"It may be right," the ice mage said steadily, "I know you want us to remember what you do but the thing is, with time being changed like the archive says it is; our memories were altered not lost. It was altered by the multiverse itself to keep everything in order."

Phoenix rolled her eyes, "So? I doubt I'll be able to deal with them if they can't get along."

"They don't have to have those memories in order to get along," the ice mage smiled.

Phoenix sighed, "I'm still going to try."

She nodded.

"So you actually believe what the archive said? About timelines being changed and stuff."

"It would explain what I perceive as odd behavior," Kaechia shrugged.

"So then how did I act before?" Phoenix cocked her head to the side.

"Well you had a penchant for trouble and a kind of confident thief-like attitude," Kaechia shrugged.

Phoenix leaned back in her seat, "That's not so bad I guess."

"You also weren't nearly as direct. You were a bit more sly," Kaechia chuckled, "And you didn't have any blond hair to speak of. It was all red."

"Sly? That's interesting," Phoenix smirked, "Given that I don't usually bother with manipulating anyone."

"But you can can't you?" Kaechia asked.

"Yeah," Phoenix shrugged, "I could if I wanted to and I'd probably require a little more practice."

Kaechia laughed, "You're looking for people you remember right?"

"Yeah, once I get something I need from someone."

"I'll help you then," Kaechia nodded.

"Seriously?" Phoenix smiled, "Alright. We're waiting here for a friend of mine." She lit on fire. When they died her hair was shorter and all of it was red. Her outfit was different as well. Chandra sighed, "I kind of miss the collar. I really liked that. And I'm not sure I can go anywhere in this outfit. This is awful."

Kaechia laughed, "You look fine. Although I will admit a collar would look nice."

Chandra growled, "I look like someone I used to know. We didn't get along too well." She sighed, "I'm so bored."

"How long do we wait?"

"A couple days," Chandra smirked, "But she has a habit of over estimating the amount of time it takes to do something so we'll probably have it by tonight." Hopefully.

"Ah," Kaechia nodded, "You didn't really answer my question though. What's bad?"

"Oh that?" Chandra sighed, "Two of the people I'm looking for are a part of rival organizations so they already have a reason to hate each other."

"Well that's certainly going to make things difficult."

Chandra sighed. I'm not entirely sure I trust her but there's only one way to find out if she's trustworthy. That's to trust her if and until she proves I can't. "Just a bit." She growled in frustration, "Why are these boots so long anyway?"

"I don't know," Kaechia shrugged, "It's what you from this time wore. You kind of have to wear it for anyone to recognize you as who you are."

"Dammit," Chandra sighed. I hate this outfit. I'd rather just wear a pair of pants and a shirt but no. I have to wear this! Who the hell wears skirts that are this short anyway? The first problem she had with it was that there was very little armor in the outfit. The skirt barely dropped to the middle of her thighs. Her boots were armored and went to just below her knee. She also had bracers. The gloves went up to the middle of her forearms and were black with obscure grey designs on them. The collar of her shirt was tighter on her neck than she'd like but impossible to loosen. Six chains of various lengths were attached to the collar. The red top was backless which frustrated her and wrapped around her neck under the collar in the front, "Who the hell wears something like this?"

"You'll be fine. I haven't seen you get too terribly hurt yet," Kaechia assured her.

"This is still a terrible outfit!" Chandra raged.

Kaechia laughed, "It's fine. You're immune to fire aren't you?"

"Well yeah but what about knives and swords and acid and everything that sucks about fighting?" Chandra snapped.

"I'm sorry?" Kaechia shrugged.

Chandra sighed, "I'm okay. I'll just get through this and then this outfit is going away…forever."

"You really don't like that do you?"

"Not particularly."

After a few more hours Echo showed up.

"Echo!" Chandra smiled welcomingly.

Echo shook her head, "That outfit is ridiculous."

"I don' care," Chandra snapped.

Kaechia raised an eyebrow.

"I know," Echo nodded, "That's why I don't point it out very often."

"Do you have it?" Chandra asked.

Echo nodded, "Here." She handed her the bracer. It had a keyboard set underneath a metal plate. A speaker and projector sat next to the keyboard. Four latches held it closed around her forearm. Chandra grinned, "Now we can get started."

"What exactly are you doing?" Echo asked.

"Fixing everything," Chandra shrugged. She looked at Kaechia, "We've got somewhere to go first."

Kaechia nodded.

Chandra led the way to Sun's Reprieve.

"I've seen this place before," Kaechia said, "I thought I saw a blond woman standing on the balcony."

"Good," Chandra let her wings spread from her back. I hate the fact that I have to use mana for these now. That's not fair. She sighed, "Oh well." She grabbed Kaechia's arm and lifted off into the sky.

"Since when did you have wings?" Kaechia asked.

"Since I could remember everything." Chandra landed in the courtyard, "You need to be able to get in here whenever you want without me constantly inviting you in."

"What do you mean?"

"It only allows the people that have claimed it and those they invite in. I need you to have claimed it also so to speak so I don't have to constantly invite you."

"Oh," Kaechia nodded, "Does it hurt?"

"Not terribly," Chandra shook her head.

"Okay," Kaechia nodded.

Chandra then led the way to Ravnica. It wasn't far from the Black Lotus Inn. That means that either they're in the undercity or they've actually got quite the hold on Ravnica. "Interesting." Last time they were pretty far from the hotel. Intriguing. "Hey. Can you stay with the inn?" she turned to Kaechia, "If the archive is right and we're dealing with an assassin then the situation might actually be too dangerous for you. Tell whoever is at the desk that Phoenix sent you to wait."

Kaechia nodded, "Of course." She turned and walked into the inn.

"May I ask why you did that? If the reports are true then you may not stand a chance against this assassin," the archive said flatly.

"Shut it. I know what I'm doing," Chandra dropped off the walkway, down onto an overhang and another walkway. She walked along that walkway normally and looked around. Shadow's map wasn't very helpful. It gave her a vague idea of where the building was. However a vague idea did not help her much.


Okay so the third chapter is missing from my computer and I don't think I'm going to rewrite it. Basically what happens between this chapter and the next is Chandra finds Jace and picks Kaechia back up. Jace tries to leave though.
