So, hi! I have big news, I'm in college, woo woo! My classes start tomorrow and I spent last week at freshmen pranking, it's sort of a tradition. I've had to sing a lot of songs filled with swear words and my swear filter is now gone, so, it's a good thing that I finished this chapter last weekend xD I'll try not to go overboard with the swear words next chapter. By the way, I got in Biology!

Enjoy the chapter!

Tobias' POV

I texted the gang while we made our way downtown and arranged for us to meet them at our favorite bar. Obviously, I left out the part about me having company.

"You know Beatrice, maybe I should go back. I'm still not one of their favorite people." Caleb looked at Tris with a somewhat fearful expression. She frowned at him.

"I'd rather have you with me."

"What for?" Caleb really didn't want to come.

"Moral support?"

He huffed and accepted defeat. "Fine." Tris smiled at him and we continued our journey.

A few moments later, the bar came into view. It was considerably large and painted in mainly dark colors. Its name was 'Dauntless' and the owners even managed to get a hand on the famous Dauntless chocolate cake batter, which, surprisingly, is great with beer. I guess that's why we love this place so much.

Tris raised an eyebrow. "Really? Somebody named a bar after a faction?"

I smiled inwardly and turned to her. "There are 4 other places named after factions."

Caleb nodded enthusiastically. "There's an internet café/library called 'Erudite' 2 blocks from here, it's really nice."

She chuckled. "Let me guess, there's a non-profit, non-governmental organization called 'Abnegation'?"

I nodded. "Exactly."

"Oh and there's a 'medical' marijuana shop called 'Amity'?"

Both Caleb and I laughed. "Correct. That's 2 for 2. What else have you got?"

Tris placed her index on her chin and adopted a pensive expression. "Is there a shop that sells lie detectors called 'Candor'?"

I smirked at her. "Ding ding ding."

She laughed and Caleb pumped his fist in the air. "Little miss Prior to the win!" At her brother's shout, Tris laughed harder and Caleb joined in, along with me.

After a few more moments of goofing around, we found ourselves in front of 'Dauntless'. The gang must have heard Caleb's yell, as some of them were eyeing me suspiciously, I turned around to face the siblings and looked Tris in the eyes. "Are you ready to do this?"

She smiled softly. "I was born ready."

I returned her smile and made my way inside. Right before I was going through the door, I turned back to Tris. "Come inside in 45 seconds." She nodded and I went in.

"Hi guys." I high-fived Zeke, Amar and George and ruffled Chris' hair before sitting down next to her. 35 seconds. "Listen guys, I have something to tell you." I paused and looked at their faces. They were eyeing me suspiciously until Zeke grinned. "Oh, did you and Chris finally get together?" The guys laughed and Christina's face turned into a tomato as she yelled at them to stop laughing and at Zeke to stop telling lies about her. 15 seconds left. "It's about Tris." I said abruptly. That got their attention, they were all looking at me in expectation. 5, 4, 3,…"She's alive."

Everyone gasped.

Right on cue, Tris and Caleb walked in the bar. At first, they all seemed petrified until Chris suddenly came to life and darted from the couch, tackling Tris to the floor in a rather brutal bear hug. Soon enough, Zeke jumped on top of them and then George and Amar joined in, so Tris was on the floor under an enormous pile of bodies, kicking and waving her arms around, trying to free herself.

I laughed at their antics and then pulled Amar from the pile. "Alright guys, that's enough, you'll suffocate her if you keep this up." One by one, they got up and Christina pulled Tris up with her and then grabbed her by the arms.

"What were you thinking?" She said, shaking Tris, who, at this point, looked pretty baffled. "Don't you ever do that again! Do you realize what you put us through?!"

Tris smiled and hugged Christina. "I missed you too, Chrissy."

She hugged her back. "Don't you ever call me that again, Trissy." They broke the hug after a while and Tris turned to the rest of us. "Hey Zeke." She said, smiling and pulling him into a hug. "I'm sorry for your loss." She whispered, talking about Uriah. That's right, I forgot she wasn't there when they had to…pull the plug.

"Thank you, Tris. And I'm sorry for your loss as well." He said, whispering as she did before. "I'm glad you're back." He added, louder this time. They pulled apart and she hugged George and Amar, both of them saying they were glad she was back.

After greeting everyone, Tris sat down next to Christina and smiled at us. "So, what's good here? I'm starving."

Christina jumped on her seat and turned to Tris filled with enthusiasm. "Oh my God, you need to try the chocolate cake with the beer, it's awesome."

Tris raised an eyebrow. "Chocolate cake with beer?! Eww."

At that, both Christina and Zeke gasped dramatically. "Eww?! You're gonna regret that, Beatrice Prior!" Christina got up and raced towards the bar, pulling Tris along with her. She looked back at us and mouthed the words 'Please help me'. We all started laughing and then Amar, who has always been the most diplomatic person of our gang, turned to Caleb.

"So, Caleb, you must be happy to have your sister back." He said, smiling at him.

Caleb, who was looking at his hands, looked up at Amar with a startled look in his eyes, I'm guessing he wasn't expecting anyone to talk to him. He cleared his throat before answering. "I am. I was a bit surprised when she showed up at my door, but she explained everything to me."

Amar nodded at his words. "We should ask her to explain everything to us as well."

Just after he finished talking, Tris and Christina came back, each carrying a beer and a piece of chocolate cake. "Eat." Chris ordered, looking at Tris with a threatening look. Tris shrugged and took a bite of the cake.

"Hmm, Dauntless cake." She said, taking another bite. "Damn, I missed this cake. This is heaven." At that, we all chuckled. Then, she took a swig of the beer and knitted her eyebrows together. "Wow, this is good beer. This is really good beer, I haven't had beer this good in a while."

Caleb raised his eyebrows at her. "So, you make it a habit of drinking beer?"

Tris glared at him before speaking. "I'm not the heavy smoker here, remember?"

I chuckled inwardly. "No, you're just the girl who smoked at least one joint."

Tris narrowed her eyes at me for a while before shrugging her shoulders. "Fair enough." And then she leaned back against the couch, taking another swig of her beer. "I like this place, it has good beer. How's the scotch here?"

Zeke laughed and turned to her. "It's pretty awesome, they have some bottles that have been aging for almost 6 decades and it's freaking delicious."

She laughed and then looked at the bar longingly. "Too bad I decided to stay sober today."

The entire gang laughed, even Caleb, who was given a beer at some point. Maybe that's why he's not acting like he has a stick up his ass. Amar turned to Tris and everyone got serious. "Tris, I'm sorry to bring this up, but do you think that maybe you could explain to us what exactly happened?"

Tris sighed and nodded somberly. "Of course I can, I owe you guys that much." She took a small sip of the beer before starting. "David did shoot me that day, I have the scars to prove it. The doctors saved me and Matt came to me with information about a new conspiracy, though it wasn't nearly similar to the compound's oppression over us, it was a lot bigger. Matt and I met with the informant to check the veracity of the information and decided that it was worth looking into it. You guys thought I was dead anyway, so we took the opportunity. The informant said that the conspiracy started in the Government, but I couldn't exactly just show up in Washington and start asking question like I owned the place, could I? So, we came up with a way for me to become somewhat known in the Capital and I went to the Fringe. I was gonna take out a minor drug lord who operated there, but somebody beat me to the punch. I was surprised to find that it was a very old friend of mine called Isaac Pent, we-…"

"Wait!" Amar said out of the blue and Tris' head snapped to her sporting a very confused look. "Isaac is alive?"

Tris furrowed her eyebrows. "You know Isaac?"

He nodded frantically. "He was in the first initiate class I taught back in Dauntless, he was brilliant. How is he still alive?"

Tris smiled softly. "He was pulled from the experiment right before they uncovered him as Divergent, the compound people took him to safety but Isis refused to live at the compound and become a perfect-genes-breeding-machine, so he left to the Fringe. I believe he left the compound right before you were pulled from the experiment. He also told me that his instructor was a great man and a great warrior."

"Isis?" Amar smiled widely and she laughed.

"Yeah, it was the nickname I gave him when we were little, he hated it." She said, still laughing.

"He called it the 'nickname from hell', am I right?"

Tris eyed him suspiciously. "How do you know that?"

Amar laughed. "We became close friends and he told me all about the little love he had to leave behind in Abnegation. I'm guessing he was talking about you."

Tris smiled fondly. "He did?"

"Yes." He smiled. "He believed you were gonna become great someday, he was already so proud of you back then. Will he be joining us here?"

Tris nodded. "Yeah, he'll be here in a few days, we never spend a lot of time apart. He had my back at the Fringe, I would have died several times if it wasn't for him."

"I'm glad, we have a lot to catch up on."

Something wasn't ringing right in my head, as far as I knew, there were only 2 Abnegation-to-Dauntless transfers in history, Tris and I. How is it possible that this Isaac guy, who I already dislike, transferred from Abnegation to Dauntless? "I have a question." I said, getting everyone's attention, especially Tris'. "You and I were the only transfers from Abnegation to Dauntless, how is it possible that Isaac, or whatever his name is, transferred to Dauntless from Abnegation?"

The corners of her mouth turned slightly upwards. "Technically, he didn't. His parents were factionless and they didn't exactly have it easy, they couldn't handle raising him. My dad found him wrapped up in a blanket at the entrance of the Abnegation sector, he was about a week old. The couple that lived next door to us couldn't have children, so they adopted him. Isis wasn't Abnegation-born, so he was never considered a dependent. When he chose Dauntless at his Choosing Ceremony, it wasn't considered a transfer, that's why you and I are the only A-to-D transfers."

I nodded and Tris turned to the rest of the gang. "Well, I was in the Fringe and after finding Isis, I joined forces with him and his people and together we fought to take the Fringe out of the control of the drug cartels, there were about 3 of them operating there. It wasn't easy, some people died, other got badly hurt, but we made it and now the Fringe belongs to its people."

"Did you get hurt there?" Christina asked, looking concerned.

"I added a couple more scars to my repertoire." She answered, smirking.

"A 'couple-couple' or a 'couple-I lost count'?" Caleb inquired. He knows his sister well.

Said sister shrugged. "I didn't lose count, they're not that many anyway."

Caleb glared at her, in an attempt to make her feel guilty. Tris simply shrugged once more, so I'm guessing Caleb's glare didn't work. She cleared her throat and carried on. "Well, after our work in the Fringe was done, I moved to Washington. I managed to infiltrate the President's Council and obtained informants all around town."

Zeke coughed. "Informants? How did you manage to get informants?"

She laughed. "It wasn't hard, I got some dirt on people who could get me some reliable info and threatened them. I just had to sweet talk others, there was this guy who was so easy to convince, I just promised him a date." Everybody laughed at that. A date?! "He's gonna wait for that date for a long long time."

"You're not going on a date with the dude, are you?" Christina asked.

Tris laughed. "Have you met me? Of course not!" They laughed together.

Tris turned back to us, resumed her narrative and I braced myself to hear her story again.

1 hour later

"So, George and Amar are in the police force, Tobias is in politics and Christina's doing God knows what, what are you doing Zeke?" Tris asked vividly while Christina glared at her.

Zeke smiled. "I'm in private security."

"Wow, that's great. Oh, and how's Shauna?" She smiled widely.

"Shauna's in the hospital."

Tris' face fell and her brow furrowed. "Why? Is something wrong?"

"Not at all, it's the opposite, actually. She's pregnant and close to term, so she's in the hospital because it's a risky pregnancy, with her being paralyzed and all." He answered, grinning.

Her eyes were glowing. "You guys are gonna have a baby?" she asked, expectation in her voice.

Zeke smiled at her. "Yeah, we're having a baby boy."

Tris smiled widely, a smile of pure joy. "Oh my god, that's great! I'm so happy for you guys!" she hugged Zeke, still smiling. "Can I go visit her?"

He smiled again. "Of course, but maybe I should go see her first and explain the situation."

"Of course!" Tris nodded enthusiastically.

After a few more minutes of meaningless small talk, the air grew quiet until Tris broke the silence. "So, are the other faction buildings still in use? I know that the Candor headquarters are still in use, I was there earlier meeting with Johanna."

Amar was the one who answered her question. "Well, the Erudite headquarters were turned into a research lab and the Amity compound is now a storage place for food and animal chow. The Dauntless headquarters were turned into the police headquarters."

She looked deep in thought. "The entire thing, even The Pit? Or are you guys just using the space under the glass dome?"

"Just the space under the glass dome."

Tris smiled at him. "Is the net still in place? Oh, and do the trains still run like before?"

Amar looked confused. "Yes and yes. Why?"

"Well, since everything's up and running, I can go retrieve something I left there." She explained, shrugging.

"Ok, but don't you even think you're going now, I'm not letting you leave." Christina said, holding onto Tris, who laughed.

"Don't worry, I'm not planning on leaving anytime soon." She took out her phone and checked the time. "Well, my duty's done for the day. Who wants a glass of that fine scotch Zeke mentioned?" she asked, smiling.

Christina and Zeke pumped their fists in the air in agreement and jumped from the couch, heading towards the bar. Everyone else soon followed and I eyed them from my seat for a while before getting up and following them. This is gonna be a fun night.

I hope you enjoyed that! Let me know what you think of the story so far, review, send me a private message, write me a letter, even communicate with me through the Force, I just wanna know what my readers are think about my story!

Since we're on the subject of my stories, I started a new Divergent Trilogy fanfic and I'd really like to know what you guys think about it! It would be really helpful. It's called "Samsara" and this is its summary: "Samsara teaches that the world we consider "real" is actually a projection of our own desires. 13 years ago, our city was attacked. A disease profaned this land and its people. The researchers were forced to take extreme measures to save the lives of the Chicago inhabitants and life went on. Then, the shooting at the compound took place and now Tris' life ended. But, did it really?"

Take a look and leave a review if you feel like it, I'd really appreaciate it!

Now hat I'm gonna start college classes, I don't know when I'm gonna have the chance to update again, but I'm gonna try to set a standard day for updates based on the amount of time I'm gonna recquire to write the next chapter, I'll let you guys know when I'm gonna be updating again on the next chapter's author's note.

See you next chapter!
