I know this is a tired story and has been done a thousand times over, but I can't live with what happens at the end of Allegiant. So, this is my version of what would of happened if Tris and Four got to warn Abnegation, and if they had never gone to war in Divergent. All rights go to Veronica Roth.

Tris;

I stand on the roof of where the initiates will soon be jumping from the train and into their new Dauntless life. There is a grin on my face that I can't wipe off, I'm too excited.

This is the year Cristina and I are in charge of initiation. Since the Almost War - lots of things have changed, and many things haven't. Four is the leader of Dauntless now, a position thrust on him when we aired the Erudite attack to the Abnegation. Max and Eric, and the three other Dauntless leaders, were taken to Candor to be trialed, they were found guilty of conspiracy, and executed, along with Janine.

New order in Dauntless was placed - with Tobias as leader. He asked me to be his right hand, and I am, but since this is a peaceful time for us, and I have nothing else to do, I asked to assist Cristina to train the initiates. There was no objection from anyone else.

Tori, Zeke and Lauren are Dauntless leaders too, but it is without a doubt that Tobias is in charge.

Tori secretly protects the Divergent's we find, and is in charge of any humanitarian work that fits with Dauntless ideals, Will is her understudy.

Zeke and Uriah work on the technology, and visual security of Dauntless together.

Lauren holds combat training, and is faction liaison. I wanted to be faction liaison, but Lauren begged for it, she is older than I am, holds more weight, and is Dauntless-born, Tobias couldn't be seen as giving me what I wanted, since everyone is aware of our relationship, so he awarded Lauren the job.

We are trying to get Dauntless back to what it's manifesto says; 'we believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another.

"Here they come." Uriah grins at me as the train chugs towards us. We watch as it turns and reaches us.

Christina takes the first leap off, landing gracefully as she hits the roof. The Dauntless-born follow her, and then the transfers. I hop from foot to foot, nervous in case someone doesn't make it, I would struggle to see anyone fall. Seven transfers make it off the train, one is Abnegation, one Amity, three Capndor, three Erudite. The Dauntless born are already stood in front of me, expectant. I eye the transfers, they groan and rub the grit from their bodies from where they landed on it.

I smile at all of them, Uriah does his best impression to look menacing, it makes me laugh. They all line up in front of me, I'm standing on the edge of the roof, above the hole where the net resides, and also where I know Tobias stands, waiting for the first jumper.

Christina walks so she is next to me, looking over the initiates. "They all made it off," her voice is low, only I can hear her. I feel relief wash over me. They are chattering, two Candor transfers are bickering.

"Listen up!" I shout, silence descends and I look at them individually. "I am a leader of your new Faction, my name is Tris. I will be in charge of all transferred initiates, Cristina will be in charge of the Dauntless-born."

"Dude," a Candor boy who is short and skinny, laughs, he has ruffled brown hair and gash on his cheek, "you're barely older than us."

"Age doesn't matter here." Cristina spits. "And if I were you, I would learn to keep your mouth shut."

I grin at her because all this seems far too familiar, and it's enjoyable to be the ones in charge. I walk along the edge casually, all eyes are on me, they nervously glance over as if expecting to see a ledge there.

"The entrance to Dauntless is down there." I point to the hole I jumped through a year ago. "It is several stories down, if you want to be one of us, you have to jump through it. If you refuse, you will be factionless. If you don't make it through it the hole, you will be dead."

An Erudite girl laughs, "you can't be serious?"

"We are." Uriah says. Her face falls, becoming ashen. We say nothing for a moment, pausing for dramatic effect.

"Who wants to go first?" Cristina asks.

I look at them, no one looks eager or willing - they have all averted their gaze. The boy from Candor who spoke up earlier is picking gravel from his elbow, trying to act casual. There is one other boy from Candor and a girl, both of whom are also picking at the gravel stuck in their skin. The girl from Abnegation has her head down, staring at her feet. The Erudite girl who spoke has bent to tie her shoes up, the other boy and girl from that faction are leaning on each other, their hands entwined, eyes locked. The Dauntless born are standing to attention, but not willing.

My eyes fall on the boy from Amity, his chin is jutted out in defiance, his jaw tight, he is staring directly at me. He has dark brown skin and dark brown eyes, conventionally he is handsome, broad shouldered and strong looking. He steps toward me and I stand to the side, making way for him.

He leans over the edge and stares down at the hole, then looks back at me, wind whips around us, "something will break my fall, right?"

"There's only one way to find out," I smirk. He nods at me, gets up on the ledge, and then he's gone. He doesn't scream or shout on his way down, he makes it through the hole and we all hear laughter rise up a second later, with hollering and cheers to follow.

One Erudite girl jumps next, them all of Candor, then five of the Dauntless-born, then Abnegation. The whole thing takes twenty five minutes before the last person has gone through. I turn to Cristina and Uriah, smiling. No casualties and Ne one backed out, this is the best initiation yet.

I give them five minutes before I jump. I am excited to jump, I am not scared like I was, there are no goosebumps rising. I am Tris, a leader of Dauntless. I leap as though I have been doing it all my life. I laugh as I hit the net, lying on my back, staring through the hole, adrenaline coursing though me.

Tobias' hands are reaching for me before I have even caught my breath. His long fingers wrap around my hand, and I use his it to pull myself off, rolling straight into his arms.

He holds me to him, grinning down at me, "this feels very familiar."

I lean up and kiss him, "this was the best day of my life, it was the day I met you."

We pull apart as Cristina hits the net, and I help her. Uriah falls not far behind, Tobias helps him off.

We stand in front of Tobias like soldiers awaiting instructions, he rolls his eyes.

"Lauren took the dauntless-born, Tori is giving the others the tour." He tells us.

We're trying to promote team work, show them that all leaders pitch in, all have equal status. We don't, but that is how Tobias wants to pretend it is, he refuses to acknowledge we have a hierarchy and he is at the top.

I nod. "Food hall?" I ask.

"Food hall." He smiles, and we set off with our hands entwined. Christina and Uriah play fighting as we walk through The Pit.
