A/N: Hi guys!

I need to address some things that most of you have been saying. First of all, the movie Wanted is my muse for this story as most of you have guessed. This fic won't be cannon to that movie. It's been entirely reworked! Trust me, you'll see. :D!

Thank you to all of you who voted for TH on Teh Lemonade Stand! I didn't place, but it's an honor to be nominated just as well. So thanks for all the nominations and votes. :)

Thanks to my team! Twilly on the pre-read, and MyHeroin01 with her superb beta skillz!

Of course a thanks to The Fictionators, as well as the girls from TLS! You know who you are, and I love ya!

Yeah... this is getting long. Meet me at the bottom.

"Oh shit.." I murmured as I stepped into what would obviously be my living quarters. It was lush and comfortable with hues of charcoal grey, black and silver. Despite the cave like hallways, the area looked more like a bedroom from any upscale apartment. The black lacquered furniture was heavy, ornate, and extremely stylish.

"I take it that you like your accommodations?" She asked, a small smile on her lips.

I nodded, still speechless.

"Well, clothes and toiletries have been taken care of. As Aro told you, you've been expected." She turned, pointing to a door to the left hand side, "That's your shared bathroom."

"Shared?" I rasped.

"Yes, shared. Make sure you put the toilet seat down, pretty boy. I might have to kill you if I fall in."

I snorted a laugh, shaking my head. It made me feel marginally better to know it was her I was sharing with. We didn't have the most orthodox meeting, but she was the most familiar face around here.

"Deal."

Flopping down in one of the two black leather armchairs, she followed my lead and leaned forward, clasping her hands together in front of her. "So here is the deal, we hit the floor at four every morning. That gives you an hour to shower, wake up and get to the field at five. We work out, train, or whatever until seven. After that, we eat breakfast at eight."

I nodded, waving for her to continue.

"After that, we usually get briefed on orders and assignments." She shrugged.

"So, we're going on a mission tomorrow?" I asked, feeling my pulse race.

She shook her head fervently, "God no! You're not ready, not even close."

The adrenaline that had flooded my system slowed to a slow trickle, causing me to sag in my seat. A rueful smirk tugged at her lips as she cocked a brow at me, "Were you excited?"

"No, not really excited. Just..." I chewed on my bottom lip, contemplating on what I was trying to say, "It feels good to be needed for something. All my life I've felt..." I sighed, grumbling at the flaming shit that was spewing from my mouth. It didn't make sense, not even to me.

I chanced a glance at her face, and her furrowed brows told it all. I huffed, waving a hand towards her, "See? I can't even say what I mean!"

"Out of place?" She offered, her expression oddly compassionate. My brows practically flew off my face in surprise.

"Edward, I need you to remember something. I've been you before. What you see right now, isn't who I've always been." She sighed, patting my hand awkwardly. I could tell that she wasn't in the business of comforting people, but the fact that she tried to placate me, spoke volumes.

"Get some sleep. See you in the morning." She murmured, making her way to the door. She paused with her hand on the knob, "Oh, and if you're not out of the bathroom by 4:30, I'll shoot your balls off."

I snickered quietly as the door clicked behind her.

My. Lungs. Were. On. Fire!

Sure, I would be willing to admit that I was slightly out of shape, but this was torture. Not only was the trail winding and hilly, it was littered with boulders and fallen trees. No, this wasn't your average morning run, it was a high speed hike. The total loop turned out to be three miles out and three miles back. By the time we were two and a half miles in, I collapsed face first onto the ground.

"Masen! What the fuck!?" Bella's voice snapped from a few yards ahead of me.

I rolled over on my back, every muscle in my body protesting against the movement. I pried my eyes open, watching her as she jogged back towards me.

"You know we aren't even halfway through the trail, don't you?"

I groaned in discomfort and threw my arm over my eyes, wincing at the soreness. "Do you think you can just give me a minute?"

Huffing impatiently, she flopped down on the grass beside me and pulled her knees to her chest. "You know, I wasn't even expecting you to make it this far." She stated with a sardonic grin.

"So much for support." I deadpanned, and hauled myself to a sitting position. I looked around, realizing that we were in a meadow of some sort. The lush green grass was glistening and there were wildflowers all around us.

"Oh look, there's a pansy!" Bella exclaimed gleefully.

"I don't see any pansies, Bella. Those are..."

"I do, it's one sitting right here next to me." She snorted, bumping my shoulder with her own. "Get your ass up, and let's get moving. Your minute is up."

Grabbing my hand and tugging me to my feet without effort, she placed both hands on my back and pushed me to get going again.

When we finally made it back to the start point, I thought my lungs were going to literally disintegrate. She handed me a bottled water that I rudely chugged before thanking her. I leaned back against the wall of the warehouse, and slid down. "

"Thanks..." I muttered, while waving the empty plastic lamely.

She waved me off, "You deserved it."

Despite the water that I had just guzzled, my mouth dried at the site of her tugging off her tank top and drying her flushed face with it. Standing in front of me in only a sports bra and the tiniest of shorts, Bella was a vision with her smooth peaches and cream skin, tinged with the fairest pink of exertion. The taut muscles in her abdomen, tightened and relaxed and she dabbed at her damp skin.

I swallowed thickly at the way her shorts rested low on her hips, showing off the swirling black ink that disappeared below the waistband. My eyes traveled even lower to her shapely legs that seemed to go on for miles.

Inadvertently, my eyes locked on the juncture of her thighs. The tiny little 'V' there was taunting me with a vengeance.

"Hey, where did you go?" She laughed, snapping her fingers in front of my face.

"Um... I... was just thinking?" It came out as more of a question than I intended, but it wasn't really a lie.

She shrugged and waved me on, "Come on, it's time to eat." I stood, stretching my now tight muscles and followed her.

"Oh, and Masen?" she stopped, and turned to me with her hands on her hips.

"Yeah?"

"I think I have a new nickname for you besides pretty boy."

"Oh yeah? What is it?"

"Crotch Watcher."

She doubled over in laughter as my face flooded with heat. This was going to be a long, long partnership.

*snort* Crotch Watcher... Yeah I pulled that one outta my ass.

Anyway, are you guys still here? Did I lose anyone? Let me know! Drop me a line!

Love you guyz!
