The freezing air stings my face and eyes, and makes it hard for me to breathe. Below me, the city smears into a dark blur. My outstretched fingers feel like ice. I smile.

The wind rushes around me, holding me up, as I spot Navy Pier down below, and the Ferris Wheel. I can so distinctly remember climbing that with Tobias, when his name was still Four. When I was just an initiate and he was just my trainer.

The images blur by and I feel like nothing could ever go wrong again, suspended over my city like this. The city I have fought so hard to save. I feel as if when I land, Uriah will be joking to Marlene, Lynn will stand with her arms crossed, and then there will be Will, shaking his head and suppressing a smile.

I feel tears creep into my straining eyes and hold them in. This perfect moment is in honor of them, of all the people I have loved and lost.

My short hair cuts across my vision for a flash of a second before returning to blow around my head in a wild, windblown dance. The icy feeling spreads throughout me and consumes me.

I feel like a bird again, with my arms thrown out to the sides. The first time I did this, I had been scared. Scared of the zipline breaking. Scared of death. But I have faced death so many times that I am no longer focused on what could go wrong; I am focused on what went right.

The smear of the road comes in, closer and closer. My fingertips tingle. I am still far above the ground, but I can see tiny specks down in the pavement below. People. One of which is Tobias. I try to pick out which one he is, but I am too high. I wonder if they know who is on the zipline.

I feel powerful up here, soaring like a bird parallel to the ground. I see windows, mostly broken, flash by, and then the ground is getting nearer and nearer. My flight is ending.

I drift to a slow stop, finally able to pull my arms back in. I hang about twenty feet from the ground, and I can finally see Tobias. His eyes are wide, and even from here I can see their dark blue depths.

I smile, unhook my straps, and fall. The impact knocks the wind out of me, and I stand on shaky legs. Tobias stands over me. He looks worried. I smile at him.

"You have to go. Next time." I tell him, and pull him in for a kiss. This is the perfect end to a perfect night. I only look up when the others on the ground begin to point. A small dot is travelling down the zipline, growing larger. Christina.

I watch as she comes towards us. Her eyes are wide but her mouth is twisted into a smile. She comes to a stop above our heads. "What do I do?" She calls down. I almost laugh.

"Unhook yourself. We'll catch you." With that, I grab Tobias's elbow, and another person's arm who I don't know. Christina crashes hard down into our net, and I smile at the sharp jab in my wrist.

When Christina stands upright, I ask her. "How was it?" If she is anything like me, she must have enjoyed it.

Christina smiles, so I can see her back row of teeth. "It was amazing. We have to go again sometime."

The corner of Tobias's mouth twitches. I lean into his side and smile at Christina. I had always thought being a Dauntless was loud yelling and fighting and jumping on and off trains. Always moving, fearless.

But being a Dauntless is none of those things. It is helping others, even if it makes things harder for you. It is putting on a brave face even when instincts scream for you to run. It is using bravery when you think you'd never need it.

And even though the faction system is disabled, never to return, I feel like Dauntless is together again, as one.
