DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN INCEPTION.
"Eames, with me," Cobb demanded. "Ariadne, you're with Arthur. Stay close!"
They ran off into the other direction, and I found myself pulling Ariadne by her arm. She snatched it away.
"I can look after myself," she snapped. I looked at her for a brief moment before I started to run. I knew we only had a certain amount of time before Nash left on the nearest train.
When we reached the station platform, there were projections covering the path. I cursed to myself and started pushing through the crowds.
"Move!" I yelled at the projections. I received violent looks and yelling, but I needed to get the train. I pushed through one more layer of crowed people before jumping through the doors and onto the train. I pressed my weight against the wall and started panting heavily.
"You clearly have issues with Nash."
I looked beside me and saw Ariadne standing next to me, arms folded.
"Glad you could keep up," I breathed, ignoring her previous statement. She looked at me, offended.
"Why are you being like this?"
I straightened. "Like what?"
"So…uncontrolled and angry, what's wrong with you?"
I shook my head. "Nothing. Let's just get this over with."
I moved ahead of her and started weaving my way through the carriage. We needed to find Cobb and Eames before we could go ahead with the next level. I felt bad for being rude to Ariadne, but I just wanted to finish the job.
I found Cobb and Eames sitting in the second carriage. They stopped talking and looked at me.
"Where's Ari?" Cobb demanded. I looked behind me and saw Ariadne trailing behind, trying to keep up. I didn't realise how quick I was going.
"I thought you were going to watch her," Eames said, harshly.
"Whatever, let's find Nash."
I saw them exchange looks before standing up. Eames was carrying the PASIV in his hand.
"How are we putting him under?" Ariadne asked.
Cobb turned to Eames. "Can you find a way to-"
"On it." Eames pulled out a needle from nowhere and smiled. "He'll be out like a light bulb."
"Where is he?" Ariadne asked. Cobb pointed down the hall.
"Next carriage. Eames, go ahead and sedate him, call us when he's down."
Eames nodded and quickly disappeared down the carriage, leaving the three of us in silence. Cobb glared at me.
"What the hell is up with you, Arthur?" he asked.
"Why is everyone asking me that? Nothing is wrong," I snapped.
"If you don't snap out of it then you're not coming under with us."
I stared at him for a moment before breaking contact to look at the floor.
"Next level is the robbery right?" Ariadne asked, sitting down on the nearest seat. Cobb nodded.
The next level was not my favourite. I had this feeling deep in my gut that it wasn't right. Something was going to go horribly wrong.
"I think that someone should stay here to monitor us."
They both looked at me. Ariadne folded her arms together.
"By someone you mean me," she said, angrily.
"…Yes. We don't need all of us for the next level-"
"We also don't need anyone to watch over us. We'll wake up from the level when the timer ends," Cobb pointed out. "I don't think Ari needs to stay here."
I found myself becoming annoyed with Cobb. Why was nobody listening to me?
"He's out."
I looked at the door where Eames was standing, twirling a syringe in his hand. Cobb and Ariadne disappeared through the door with the PASIV, leaving me to tail behind. I saw Nash collapsed onto himself.
"Right next level, everyone ready?"
"We're on a train. Will it be unstable?"
"No." Cobb backtracked. "Maybe. I guess we'll find out."
I rolled up my sleeve and slid the needle into my skin.
"Good luck."
As I slid into the darkness, I had a feeling that luck wasn't all we needed.
