Four decides today he is going to go check on Tris and ask her to speak with him privately. He needs to remind her how important it is that she keep her Divergence hidden. Today is the perfect day since so many Dauntless will be out ziplining. Four shudders at the thought of climbing the Hancock building, strapping himself it to a few pieces of fabric and riding the power lines through the air. His stomach heaves and he almost loses his lunch. He heads for the dorms only to find it empty. His next step is to search the Pit. Four sees Chrsitina, Will and Al but not Tris. As he approaches them, he thinks through what he is going to say so his meeting with Tris doesn't seem suspicious.
"Christina." Four approaches her and her eyes look slightly scared at his voice. "Yes? Don't we have the day off?" Four smirks, "Yes you do, enjoy it. I'm looking for Tris. I need to question her about the other night's events. If you see her, let her know I'm looking for her and she can find me in the control room." Four walks away and heads to find Zeke before he remembers he went on the little excursion today. Four wandered around the compound, trying to find Tris and began to panic when there was no sign of her. He sprinted to the control room to check the cameras in the compound and found Peter, Drew, and Molly lounging in the dorms so he knew she was at least safe. It was then that he saw her, sitting on the train next to Uriah, heading to go ziplining. Of course she would do that, the girl willingly climbed the Ferris wheel, she had no fear of heights.
Four switches to the camera on the top of the Hancock building and waits for the group to arrive. About 15 minutes later, he sees motion and watches as Zeke sets up the harnesses. As they are getting ready, Four sets up a line of monitors with any cameras along the route he knows of. Even if he can't do this, he will experience the ride with her. He watches Zeke push person after person over the edge, Four having to look away at the beginning of the ride. He sees Tris finally step up and can tell she is nervous but he also sees that fire behind her eyes. Fear definitely wakes her up. She steps in and he watches Zeke help her get in and tighten her straps. He says something to her that makes her laugh and then he forces himself to watch Zeke release her. His stomach drops as she drops over the edge of the building. His eyes move from camera to camera, catching glimpses of Tris flying past. The look of pure exhilaration on her face has him smiling.
He watches her throw her arms out to the side and plunge to the street, realizing this girl is scarier than he thought. As she slows down, Four can't take his eyes off her. Face flushed from the ride, hair wildly flying behind her, and a smile larger than the one he saw on Visiting Day made him wish he was there to catch her at the end. Although if that were the case, he would have grabbed her, kissed her, and never let her go. He could feel whatever was between them coming to a boil and it wouldn't last much longer without any relief. Four held his breath as she undid her straps and let herself fall into the waiting arms of the others, thankful they caught her safely. With that, Four clears the screens and heads to the cafeteria, knowing they will be back soon.
He hears them enter the hallway and sees them spill into the cafeteria, Tris among them. She walks toward the table with her friends and their eyes are wide, unsure of her new group. He sees the jealousy in their eyes, especially Christina's and for a moment he is worried until he sees Tris hold her own. As he is watching, Zeke slides into the seat next to him. "You've got one daredevil of a girl there Four," he whispers. "She didn't even flinch as I pushed her off the roof. Everyone on the ground said she silently approached and wanted to go again. I've never met anyone who doesn't scream on their first trip." Four just nodded but continued watching Tris, her cheeks still bright and glowing from her ride today. He has a feeling he won't have to wait much longer to get closer to her, she is definitely waking up.
