I don't own any of the characters of Inception other than my own and am purely doing this for fun! Just to putting that out there, Now on with the story! :)
Chapter 2.
"We have a task for you my dear that we need you to complete for us."
An older man said to the young, long dark haired, blue eyed woman sitting across from him.
"Really and what task would that be Harold? I thought our deal was that when I complete this first mission you'd let me visit my family."
Harold smiled at the young woman, since day 1 she has been such a spit fire and in a way she reminded him so much of his late daughter. This in the past had led people to believe that it would be the reason why he stood up for her actions more than usual.
"All in due time Alexandra… However, I believe this will be an offer you cannot refuse."
Alexandra arched her brow at the older man and crossed her arms over her chest. "Really and how so?" Harold chuckled and slid a manila folder over towards her. Alex gently picked up the folder and opened it to her surprise to see her brother Dom Cobb and the love of her life Arthur as the first photo's that appeared in the file.
She then noticed the other photo's to see her old friends Eames and Yousif but realized there were two other people that she had never seen before in other separate photos. One was a middle aged Asian man and a young woman who appeared to be a couple years younger than her.
Harold noticed her surprise and smiled. "Told you that you'd be interested." Alexandra glared at his cockiness and immediately looked up at him. "Ok so what? You want me to off my brother and my Ex because they extract secrets and are putting I.D.A. out of business?" Harold chuckled and slowly shook his head.
"Not at all… I want you to work with them. As you can see that Asian gentleman in the photos had hired you're Brother and your Ex to plant a seed if you will to make Robert Fischer this young man here."
He says as he hands her a photograph of a young man with dark brown hair and piercing blue eyes.
"To break up his father's company so that it will not become a monopoly and force this man out of business."
Alex arched her brow as she looked over the photos once more and slowly looked up at Harold. "So where does this add me?" Harold smirked at the young woman and leaned back in his seat, clasping his hands together.
"I want you to be a part of security if you will. Mr. Satio has specifically requested your assistance from hearing of your prior work. However, we fear that Mr. Satio will not fully keep up to his bargain and we need you to make sure that he will do so."
Alexandra nodded and slowly tilted her head to side. "And what agreement would that be of?" Harold smiled, he knew that once she had learned of her brother and Ex being involved in this sort of heist it would definitely intrigue her. "Mr. Satio has promised your brother freedom of the charges that were put against him when his late wife passed and to follow through with our deal he is to make sure that this specific team will come and join our recruitment and become our initial employees such as yourself." Alexandra frowned and gently looked down at the photo of Arthur.
"I still don't understand… When you forced me to join this damn Agency you threatened that you'd kill Dom and Arthur if I didn't accept your proposal and now you want them to work for you? I'll be honest here Harold, Mr. Satio would probably have a better chance convincing them than I would since you practically ripped me away from a very vital point in all of our lives! I'm sure you remember, Arthur asking me to marry him, Mal committing suicide but that wasn't a good enough reason to give me the time I need to be with my loved ones was it? You ripped me away from them when they needed me the most and I couldn't even tell them why or where I was going! Now you want me to screw with their heads and force them to do the same thing you forced me to do 1 year ago? Well pardon my language here but you can go screw yourself."
She growled as she rose up from her seat but Harold quickly stopped her. "Alexandra! Sit. Down." He said in a fatherly tone, scolding her as if he would a young child, Alexandra begrudgingly sat down as he continued.
"Mr. Satio is a huge benefactor to our facility but we are fearful that he will use our Agency for the wrong purposes and we will not be involved with someone who will use this agency as their playground for their own greed. I specifically want you to make sure that he is not going to use your brother and you're Ex for the wrong reasons and back away from the deal he has given them. It is vitally important that he gives your brother his freedom and that we employ him before Cobol get's a hold of him and kills him. They would be safe with us Alexandra just like you are. We needed you to come in first because you showed great potential in becoming an expert extractor which you have became and with you and your brother together as a team it would only benefit our agency even more. Arthur is an exquisite point man, Yousif is a wonderful chemist and Eames is an incredible forger! If we can get you all to group up as a team our agency would be unstoppable and we would be able to help civilization instead of ruining it like Cobol has. We'll be able to learn when terrorists attack quicker and be able to find out the truths of the people who cause our world danger! Instead of stealing secrets and selling them to people who are unworthy of them we'll be able to make this world a better and safer place. You would be able to convince them in joining us and protecting our agency from tumbling! You'd be finally able to have the life you dream of with the people you love, isn't that what you truly want Alexandra? Isn't that what you truly desire?"
Alexandra sighed; she gently closed her eyes and nodded. "When do I start?" Harold was thrilled that she is taking the offer and leaned forward in his seat, his elbows resting against his desk with a smug smirk on his lips.
"Right Now."

"I miss you…"
He whispered into her ear, as they laid on a bed together in the hotel room where he proposed to her. He gently cupped her cheek and leaned forward and kissed her forehead. "I miss you so much." She gently looked up at his dark brown eyes and moved her body closer to his, as he wrapped his arm around her waist.
"I love you Arthur."
She whispered and rested her forehead against his. "Just remember that, remember that I'll always love you." He sighed and kissed her lips. "Why did you have to leave? Why couldn't we have made this work? We dreamed about us being together, to have children one day and you just left! I hate this, I hate waking up and you're not there."He said angrily, as he rose up from the bed with his back to her. Alexandra sighed and gently rose up as well and wrapped her arms around him and leaned her face into his neck and kissed his flesh.
"I had no choice; just remember that I always loved you. That I always will love you."
Arthur sighed, shutting his eyes tight and placed his hand over her arms. "It's not good enough; I need you here with me. I need you back in my life." He whispered, as she buried her face into his neck. "I wish I could…" she said brokenly. Arthur scoffed and slowly shook his head, he was about to reply to her answer until they both heard someone bump into the coffee table in the suites living room.
Arthur immediately looked up and grabbed his gun off the nightstand and quietly rose up from the bed and walked towards the living room. He then slowly walked out of the bedroom and heard another noise and immediately aimed his gun towards his intruder.
As soon as he caught sight of the trespasser he then quickly lowered his gun down once he saw that it was only Ariadne. "What the hell are you doing here!" He said, gritting his teeth. Ariadne looked at Arthur frightened since she's never seen him get this angry before. He was usually calm and level headed and seeing him this irritated and angry confused her even more.
"I… I just wanted to see what you were dreaming, I thought you were dreaming up a plan for our mission and you could help me train some more!" Arthur glared down at her and placed his gun back in its holster. "Well now that you see that I'm not you can get the hell out of here!" Ariadne was speechless and didn't know how to respond to his bitter tone.
Just then they both heard a soft female voice come from behind Arthur. "Don't be angry with her Arthur… she's just curious, that is all." Ariadne looked up to see a beautiful, tall, long dark haired, crystal blue eyed woman in a form fitting little black dress standing at the door way.
She has never seen that woman before and almost wondered if Arthur had lost a loved one just like Cobb which could be the reason why they both were so shut off with their emotions completely. "She doesn't need to be here!" He growled towards the woman, Alexandra smiled and gently walked up behind Arthur and wrapped her arms around him. "It's alright baby, its ok. It won't hurt her to know about us." Arthur sighed and slowly rolled his eyes.
"There's no point!"
Alex immediately shushed him and smiled over at Ariadne. "My name is Alexandra I am Arthur's love interest." Ariadne didn't feel hostility or anger seer through this woman like she did with Mal and it almost made her wonder if she wasn't dead like Mal.
"Are you dead?"
Alexandra laughed and gently shook her head. "No dear… I'm just lost." She then slowly looked back at Arthur and gave him a sad look. "It's time my dear…" Arthur then shook his head, while Ariadne hastily asked. "Time for what?" Alex smiled and slowly looked back over to Ariadne.
"To wake up…"
She said so simply.
Just then, Arthur and Ariadne immediately woke up from the dream. Arthur glared over at Ariadne and ripped the lead off his arm as he rose up from the chair. "You will not! I repeat will not go into my dreams uninvited ever again you understand that!" He said angrily, Ariadne looked at him somewhat fearfully as he started to walk away.
"She's really beautiful."
She called out to him; Arthur immediately stopped in his tracks but did not turn around to look at her. "Is she your wife?" she asked Arthur shut his eyes tight and clenched his fists even tighter, a sigh of irritation escaping his lips. "Was supposed to be is the more correct term." They were silent for a moment as he stood there thinking about the woman who left him 1 year ago.
"But that will never happen."
He muttered, Ariadne looked at him curiously as he didn't dare turn back to look at her.
"How come?"
Arthur slowly looked back at her with a look of despair and anger. "You know enough already. Why don't you go practice your mazes and allow me to get some work done?" He stated so coolly yet in such an icy that it literally felt like a jab in to her stomach.
Ariadne didn't know how to respond to his order and instead of saying anything at all she just watched him storm away leaving her in a complete stupor as to what just happened.
