I don't know if hopping off of the train to head to Erudite headquarters is actually the best idea. I'm sure that when I get back to the compound Tobias will not be too pleased with me taking this risk. After the last risk that I took by myself I died. But this time, I'm not alone. I have Christina. And even though we don't have any weapons to protect us for whatever will come at us when we walk through the doors, I'm sure that we can handle our own. Before jumping, I figured that things would be safe. Things are different this time, I'm sure of it. There is no impending war and no issues between the Abnegation and the Erudite. But I don't know how the relationships are between the other factions and Dauntless.

Christina looks over at me as we walk toward the intimidating building and I offer her a smile.

"It's going to be okay, Tris," she tells me.

"I hope you're right," I tell her as we walk through the glass doors. People look up at us as we enter, startled by our black attire and I have to remind myself that this isn't like the first time I came here to see my brother. I am not just an initiate anymore, and right now the only thing that I have to worry about is the Bureau and what they could possibly do to us.

"Do you know where he'd be?" Christina asks.

"Not a clue," I tell her as we walk toward a front desk.

"Can I help you?" A woman asks us, barely looking up at us from her computer.

"Where is Caleb Prior?" I ask her.

She looks up at me, her eyes wide as she takes in the clothes that I am wearing. She purses her lips and looks back at her computer, typing quickly. After a moment she glances back up. "He'll be right down."

I offer her the same cold smile as I lead Christina over to the steps as we wait for my brother to appear. Christina looks nervous as she keeps glancing around the area, trying to make sure that nothing will catch us off guard. I admire her ability to shut things out and maintain that steel-like persona that is what Dauntless is made up of. I wonder if the people that they were within the last year before they got their memories back, if they are still there. If those personalities still exist within them, was it a temporary fix? Were they prone to go back to the people that they were before? I don't even want to think about Tobias going back to the way he had treated me before his memory came back. I mean, after the first kiss everything was fine, but the way he had looked at me that first time…I shiver at the memory.

"Tris?"

We look up and I immediately relax when I see my brother. I don't know what he remembers or what he knows, but I am glad to see him. I climb the steps between us and throw my arms around him.

"Caleb!"

"What's going on?" he asks me. "Are you hurt?"

"No," I answer him.

"Then what are you doing there?" he asks me.

I take a step down and look up at my brother. My suspicions have been confirmed. He isn't the same Caleb that I had said goodbye to, back at the Bureau. I swallow.

"I just…" I stop. I don't even know what I was going to stay. How do I talk to someone who doesn't remember the past? "I just wanted to see that you were okay."

"Why wouldn't I be okay?" he asks me.

I shake my head. "I guess there's no reason."

He sighs. "You shouldn't have come here," he says. "Who's this?'

I feel Christina stiffen at the accidental snub. Of course he doesn't have a clue who she is. In his mind, they never met. I swallow. "This is Christina. She's my friend."

He offers her a kind smile, the Abnegation quality always there for him. "I have to get back to work," he tells me. "If there's nothing else?"

He looks at me expectantly and I shake my head, giving him a quick smile. "No," I say. "There's nothing else."

"Goodbye, Tris."

He nods at Christina before heading back up the steps and I feel like I have been punched in the gut. I take a breath before Christina takes my arm and we walk out of the building together. We walk in silence together toward the train.

"I don't know whether or not I'm offended about him not knowing who I am," Christina says. "He and I spent a lot of time together when we were at the Bureau."

"I wouldn't take it personally," I tell her. "Part of me felt like he didn't even know me."

"Are you okay?" she asks me once we get to the top.

I nod. "Yeah," I say. "I guess. I mean, I don't really know what I was expecting, really. He's like everyone else. They don't have memories of the last year, and in a way, that's a good thing. The shit that happened last year was crazy. If I had a choice, I wouldn't remember the devastation that went on."

"What do you mean?" Christina asks. "You'd really give up the memories? Didn't it all bring you and Tobias closer together?"

I sigh. "You're right," I tell her. "You're always right."

She grins and nudges me as the train comes our way. "You're damn right."

She looks over at me as we ride the train back toward the Dauntless compound and I feel nervous heading back. I am now one hundred percent sure that I will be getting a talking to fro Tobias. I told him that I would be going to talk to Christina, but I didn't tell him we'd be leaving the compound. Even with the city being safer to wander now, I think it still worries him that I'll be in danger.

"I don't think Tobias will be too happy that we went to Erudite without him," Christina says reading my thoughts.

"I know," I tell her. "Will you protect me?"

She grins. "Even if I could take him, I wouldn't get involved in that."

"Well here goes nothing," I say as I jump from the train onto the rooftop. I wait until Christina joins me before heading to the ledge. "You first," I tell her.

Christina all too willingly obliges, letting out a cheer as she falls down toward the net. I wait the normal amount of time before jumping after her. When my body stops on the net, warm hands wrap around my wrists and pull me to my feet. I do my best to avoid his gaze and I straighten out my shirt.

"Tris." His voice is stern.

I glance up. "Oh hey," I say with a smile. "Thanks for your help."

He narrows his eyes at me. "Where'd you go?"

I bite my lip. "How long have you been waiting?"

"Two hours," he says. "I caught up with Will after you left and he told me that you guys left the compound."

"I didn't know that that wasn't allowed."

"Where'd you go?" He repeats.

I look away, trying to bide my time, but it's hard to do when I can feel his gaze on me. My skin grows hot. "To Erudite," I mutter under my breath.

"What?" His voice is even, calm. Too calm.

"I went to see Caleb."

His teeth are clenched and I can see the muscle pulsing in his jaw. "I see."

"Don't be angry," I tell him, reaching out to take his hand. I'm lucky that he doesn't pull away from me. "I wasn't alone. I was with Christina. Besides, it's not like we were in any danger."

"You can't possibly know that."

"I didn't think that Jeanine would try to sic her dogs on us, if that's what you were worried about."

"It's not just her anymore, Tris," Tobias says. "We have to worry about the Bureau now. What if they take you away from me?"

I stare at him, my eyes wide. He sounds completely vulnerable. I hadn't even considered the threat that the people from the Bureau are to us. To all of us that have come back. I swallow taking a step toward him. "I'm sorry," I tell him. His eye are shut, and I know that he's trying to calm down, but the subject is tense for him. I stand on my toes to press my lips to his, trying to help with the process. "I'm sorry," I repeat.

He wraps his arms around me. "I just worry."

"I wish I could tell you not to worry, but I'm a fish out of water here. I don't know what we're even supposed to be looking for in terms of clues or answers."

He kisses me head. "How was Caleb?" He asks me.

"The same as everyone else," I say, my voice bitter. "He didn't even know Christina."

"I bet she didn't take that well."

"She didn't," I say with a smile. "It was a bad idea going there on our own, I know that. I just had to be sure."

"Sure that he was safe?"

I nod. "Can we go back to the room?" I ask him. "I'm beat."

He grins and kisses me cheek before tugging on my arm and pulling me onto his back. "This should help."

"What are you doing?" I ask him, unable to keep the giggle out of my voice.

"Doing you a courtesy," he says, hopping down from the platform and heading in the direction of his room. Our room now, I guess.

"So you're not mad at me?" I ask him, tentatively.

He shakes his head. "A little upset, a lot worried, but it's passing."

"Good," I say, pressing a kiss to the back of his neck. "I don't like it when you worry."

"Worry is a constant emotion when it comes to you, Tris," he says. "After the last time, I can't stop worrying."

"I'm here," I tell him. "And I'm fine."

"I just can't lose you again."

"You won't," I tell him. But even I'm not sure about that. I don't know what answers the Bureau will have for us. Will they come take us away, or is this supposed to be a gift? A second chance? Either way, I can't let Tobias know about my doubts because if he knows that I'm not one hundred percent sure, I don't know what that will do to him.

"I love you," he says turning his head and pressing a kiss to my hand.

"I love you."
