Cain woke up to the sun shining in his eyes and felt a weight on top of him. He looked down and saw black hair. DG's scent invaded his senses. He looked down on her and smiled at her relaxed face. He felt her body tense and he felt pulled through a vortex.

Welcome. A voice boomed.

"Hi?"

"You will protect the future Queen."

"Okay?" Cain was thoroughly confused. The voice changed to a feminine tone that he recognized immediately.

"Wyatt, you must understand your purpose. To protect DG." Adora said happily.

"Adora?"

"Hello, Wyatt."

"It's so good to see you."

"The feeling is mutual. But there are other pressing matters."

"Okay…"

"But first you must understand. You touched DG's bare skin and the OZ found you compatible with her. You are her best friend, right?"

"Yes."

"And you wish to be more?"

"What…no!" He denied. He really didn't want to have this conversation with the spirit and image of his deceased wife about another relationship he was contemplating.

"Don't you lie to me, Wyatt Cain. I know you better than you think."

"Yes, Adora."

"Now, DG is the main topic of discussion around here. This place is kinda in between the living and the deceased. All souls come here to determine if they shall stay here or go to heaven or hell. I was allowed to stay here because of my personality and that DG knew me, which was interesting since DG just arrived here a couple years. She knew me because of you."

"Yeah."

"It's okay if you stopped wearing your wedding ring. You are so loyal it is unbelievable. You should've taken it off a week after you got out of the Tin Suit. But no." She added sarcastically. He rolled his eyes good naturally. "Wyatt…" She said seriously.

"What?"

"A lot has happened since you left. A lot. With DG. Find a man called Alex Forge and he will give you a book. Read it when you're not around DG. That will tell you everything that you missed. Alex was an old bodyguard of DG's and quit after an incident. I cannot share that with you under the Princess' orders."

"Is everyone ordered to keep stuff from me?" He asked throwing his hands up in exasperation.

"Yes. Because she doesn't want you to get mad at people. Which is inevitable when you find out what happened. It was horrible. The reason that he quit, the incident was horrible." She shuddered. "I cried." Wyatt widened his eyes and knew the incident had to be big.

"What happened?"

"Orders, Wyatt." She said smiling upon him. "I have missed you but I am dead, Wyatt. I need'nt your affection any longer."

"Yeah, but I'll never stop loving you."

"I know but you have a big heart. You need to let other people in. You are going to find that you will live longer than other people because of DG's magic. It's linked to you. She'll tell you your basic spells you can do with that level, once she gets enough magic back."

"I have magic?"

"In a couple days you will."

"Wow." He had magic now. Just like that and it expanded his life span and that was already set a little further than usual because of the fact he had eight years in a tin box it stopped him aging. He was younger than he would have been if he had lived outside the box, granted he lived that long with Zero running about.

"DG feels uncomfortable around me." Adora mused.

"Why?" He asked her because it seemed that she had all the answers.

"She feels like she is threatening me by her mere presence. She doesn't want to step over that line between friendship affection and the kind we had. She doesn't want to overstep that boundary. So she takes precautions."

"What kind of precautions?"

"Keeps orders in place for you to stay away. Which Jeb disobeyed, directly. She will attempt to have you transferred…She will use every dirty trick in the book to ensure you don't interfere with any of her plans."

"She should know better than to do that. She can't push me away."

"Well, she can't trust you."
"What?"
"People who were very close to her have lied to her. Toto, Az, Glitch, her parents, her Robo-Parents. She just feels better to not have anyone close to her. But OZ choosing her to be Queen complicated her plans."

"It chose her to be Queen? Seriously?"

"Yes, she can handle it. With your help." Adora's eyes focused on a figure approaching at a decent distance. "DG approaches. She has finished her council with the OZ and Dorothy, her ancestor."

"The Dorothy?" Adora chuckled at his surprise.

"Yes. DG and Dorothy get along perfectly. They are alike in personality. The Tin Man of her generation was in your position. That is a story for a different time. I have an important message for her."

"How do you know?" He was simply curious.

"It is my job up here to look over her parents and other people in the castle for the protection of the future Queen. I have discovered something and the one in charge deemed it important. I am ordered to tell DG immediately."

"Oh."

"Hello, Adora." DG said quietly.

"DG I have a message from the Wizard."

"Oh, okay."

"Ahamo and Lavender Eyes are planning a revolt against your rebellion forces." DG's eyes widened. "Activate Plan 4E." DG nodded.

"My thanks to your sources, Mrs. Cain." She bowed and walked away.

"See?" Cain was watching after her as if he could somehow determine what was going through her mind by watching her walk."

"It's odd."

"Well, she will awake soon. We don't have much time, you'll wake up with her. Remember, I don't blame you for my death and I want you to move on. Find Alex Forge. Think about her side before you lash out at her in anger." Her image faded and he found himself back in DG's bedroom. She gasped and rolled off him.

"Sorry. Didn't mean to bring you, Tin Man."

"It's okay."
"At least you got to see Adora again."

"I moved on, you know."

"I know but I know you also miss her everytime you look at Jeb. You wish you could have been there when he was a child and when he was growing up." His eyes widened at her perceptiveness.

"JEB!" She yelled. He barged in.

"Princess?"

"Guess who's planning an attack on our forces? The Royal Couple. Your mother enlightened me. Get my most trusted men and get the plans for the escape from Glitch and Az. If they tell you to go tell them you are under orders of Princess DG." He nodded smiling and went to carry out her orders. She slid out of bed gracefully and pulled out a pair of jeans and a shirt and marched into the bathroom. She came out and pulled her hair up and tied it in a ponytail. She grabbed a leather jacket and swung it on. She grabbed a bag from her closet and threw it on a chair.

All the time, Cain sat there watching her. He watched with admiration, fascination, bewilderment and curiousity.

"What's Plan 4E?"

"It's an escape plan." She smirked at his dumbfounded expression.
