Hello everyone! So sorry for this long wait but here is the first chapter! This chapter occurs one year after the very end of "Double Agents." (But this chapter occurs 16 years BEFORE this story's prologue.)

Please enjoy.


"I love you." Scarlett spoke to Zero, or David North.

"I love you, too." David spoke to Scarlett.

"But you must go faster."

"I'm going as fast as I can."

"Try harder."

David sighed and shifted gears, pushing down further on the accelerator. Their car sped faster down the empty highway.

"See? Easy." Scarlett smirked. She pulled out semi-automatic rifle. "Put the sunroof down."

David pressed a button and the sunroof descended. Scarlett turned around in the passenger seat and rested her elbows on either side of the head rest. She aimed her rifle at the car chasing her and David. She fired rapidly. She nailed the driver and whoever was in the backseat. The car started to swerve, but whoever was in the passenger seat took the wheel and continued steering. Another person popped up from the back seat and started shooting out the backseat window.

Scarlett sat back down in her seat, pulling out her empty magazine. "I need a reload." She said, holding out a hand.

"I've got this." Zero answered, pulling one of his guns out from its holster.

"I can do it." Scarlett waved her outstretched hand.

"We need to start splitting responsibilities." Zero answered. "You drive." He leaned out the driver side with his gun while Scarlett took control of the car with her telekinesis. Scarlett spied the extra magazine in Zero's back pocket. She took it and reloaded while Zero shot the passenger and shooter in the car pursuing them.

Scarlett glanced into the rearview as Zero sat back down, taking control of the car. She saw an enormous Hummer appear. "Zero, how much more road until our exit?" Scarlett asked.

"Ten miles. At our current speed, about eight minutes." Zero answered.

"Perfect." Scarlet turned around once more with her rifle fully loaded. She started firing through the windshield of the Hummer. It was bulletproof. Scarlett stopped firing. She flicked a finger and the entire windshield flew to the side, revealing the driver, well-armed passenger, and the two people waiting in the backseat to get some action.

Scarlett fired at the driver, eventually shooting him through the chest. The passenger quickly took the wheel while the two from the backseat made their way to the roof of the Hummer. The passenger pushed down on the dead driver's leg and the Hummer pulled up along side Scarlett and Zero.

Scarlett shifted and aimed her rifle towards the two on the roof.

Then one of them started glowing, red hot. Fire burst from their hands.

The other commanded water from small reservoirs in pockets all over their clothing.

"A pyro and a water bender." Zero told Scarlett.

"Well this seems useless now." Scarlett tossed her rifle into the backseat. "Stay close. Don't miss the exit." Scarlett put her feet onto her seat.

"Where are you going?" Zero protested.

"Trust me." Scarlett stood. She propelled forward to the Hummer's roof with her telekinesis. She landed firmly and quickly dodged a ball of fire from the pyrotechnic. She extended the reach of her punches with telekinesis. The pyro went down and the water bender stepped up, pressed his hands together. Two blobs of water closed around Scarlett's head and Scarlett couldn't breathe.

Zero fired at the water bender twice, knicking him in the arm. He dropped his hands and the water fell away as well. Scarlett sucked in a breath and then took down the water bender, slamming his head down on the roof once, twice, three times until he was completely knocked out. She stood, wind whipping at her hair, drying it off.

Scarlett felt the temperature spike behind her, and she threw up a telekinetic shield. Fire burst out on either side of her, ineffective. Scarlett turned and roundhoused the pyro. He caught her leg, his touch hot. Scarlett quickly launched into the air and twisted. The pyro slammed down onto the roof and was knocked out.

Scarlett flew back into the car with Zero.

"Would you like to shoot the driver?" Scarlett asked.

"By all means." Zero smiled as he unholstered his gun once again. He aimed at the man holding the wheel steady.

He also pulled out a gun and aimed at Zero.

Both fired.

But Zero was the better shot. The man fell limp and the wheel spun. The Hummer fell off the road and started rolling until it exploded into flames.

"Not bad, huh?" Zero complimented himself. He turned to look at Scarlett. She had an intense look of concentration on her face. Zero turned to his left.

There he could see a bullet spinning in place, just inches from his temple.

"Damn, you've still got it." Zero chuckled.

"Don't color yourself fancy just yet." Scarlett huffed as the bullet floated into her hand. "What would you have done without me?" She smiled, kissing Zero on the cheek.

"You know the answer to that." Zero answered.

"Mhm." Scarlett sat back into her seat, fixing her nearly dry hair in the 80 mph wind just above the car. "The exit is coming up."

"I know." Zero slowed the car down and took the exit off the highway.

Scarlett looked down at her leg. There was an imprint of a hand that was already fading.

"You alright?" Zero asked.

"Yeah, yeah." Scarlett settled into her seat. "I'll be fine."

"Good."

Zero and Scarlett stayed quiet while Zero drove to their destination. He parked in the back of a building.

"How do I look?" Scarlett asked as she took something out of the glave compartment.

"Beautiful." Zero answered.

Scarlett rolled her eyes and smiled. She flipped down the mirror in the visor while Zero adjusted his tux and tie. Scarlett finagled her hair into a low bun and organized strands of hair around her face to cover up her windblown hair. She placed what was in the glove compartment into her hair.

Both got out the car and walked towards the back entrance of the building.

"You got them?" Scarlett asked.

"Yes." Zero answered.

"Both of them?" Scarlett asked more forcefully.

"Yes!" Zero answered more forcefully, patting his suit pocket for emphasis.

"Okay, just checking."

The two entered the building.

"What time is it?" Scarlett asked.

Zero looked at his watch. "12:07."

Scarlett huffed. "I can't believe we're late to our own wedding."

Zero laughed. "I love you."

"Go up there before there are any other delays!" Scarlett urged.

"You better not change your mind back here." Zero warned.

"You better not change your mind up there!" Scarlett replied.

Zero laughed and kissed Scarlett. "Wouldn't dream of it." Zero went through the double doors and up towards the altar.

Scarlett smoothed out her white wedding dress, fixed her veil, and took her bouquet that was waiting on a nearby table. She took a deep breath and waited for the music to start. Scarlett puffed her dress's skirt. She made sure her whites shoes weren't scuffed. She checked her hair. She stood up straighter.

She opened the doors, with her mind, as soon as the music began. She could see Zero standing by the altar with a look of complete love on his face. Scarlett smiled.


"I do."

"I do."

They kissed.

And that was that.

Or it was only the beginning.
