Two hundred years after the death of Dominic Cobb and they're still around, still chasing and leading humans through dreams. Through their realm.
There has always been an Arthur and an Eames in Dreamsharing. There always will be because there must be. For without Arthur and Eames, there would be nothing to dream.
Dreams and nightmares will ever be the basis of humanity, though they trade off who is in charge of which depending on the person. Eames likes to do the dreams of children and the nightmares of the wicked. Arthur doesn't comment but his nightmares for the children are never as cruel as they could (and in some cases should) be. He builds Penrose dreams for the ordinary adults and when he thinks Eames isn't looking he adds special touches for his favorites.

Date: 2016-03-05 10:51 pm (UTC)Finch had warned him, he'd said it right up front, in the beginning: "I know exactly everything about you." So when Reese comes around the table one day, looking at the various screens for information on their latest number, Finch doesn't bother to minimize the tab that's showing the camera view of the peaceful gravestone.
He can tell the exact moment that Reese spots it. He freezes, blinks once, and then meets Finch's eyes, his expression never changing. "Is that something to do with our new case?"
"I think you know what that is, Mr. Reese." Onscreen, the wind ripples through the leaves of the oak tree that stands guard over the grave.
Reese holds his gaze, blankly, for a moment longer before looking away. "I guess the Machine really does see everything."
Finch feels almost as though he should apologize. Which is ridiculous. "Although it doesn't always understand what it's looking at. It took me some time to find this."
"Why were you looking?" The question is soft, but Finch hears the undercurrents, remembers how very dangerous Reese is, and how much reason he has to be wary.
But the question surprises him nonetheless. He turns as much as he can, looking up. "I thought--well, perhaps I was wrong. I assumed you'd want it back. Unless…did you do it yourself?"
"No." Reese is leaning, one hand braced on Finch's chair, still looking at the screen; so stiff with tension that he's nearly vibrating. "The Agency. It makes us stronger, more…durable. So we last longer." He takes a careful breath. "I thought you knew. That it was one of the reasons you picked me."
"No," Finch says in his turn, and the vehemence in his voice breaks Reese's concentration finally, makes him look down. "That was never part of the plan, Mr. Reese. We can get it back."
Reese considers that for several moments, and finally shakes his head. "It's fine, Finch. You need me like this. The numbers need me like this."
"No one has any right to ask that of you," Finch says tightly.
Reese smiles at that, the one-sided smile that tends to make people back away from him. "They didn't ask." When Finch stares at him, too horrified to answer, the smile slides away; his face relaxes. "Don't worry, Harold. I've been getting along fine without it."
That is entirely a matter of opinion, Finch knows, and he knows what his own opinion is. He also knows when there's no point in arguing with Reese. He turns back to his bank of screens. "It's safe there," he says, hoping his voice isn't shaking. "The Machine is watching over it. If you change your mind--"
"You'll be the first to know." Reese is still gripping his chair, but he's calmer now. "And, Harold? Thank you."

Date: 2016-03-22 07:55 pm (UTC)He’d followed the latest information to this old base and was now attempting to enter, despite the other Avengers cautioning him towards believing anything. Still he wouldn’t give up on finding his Bucky.
Finally making his way to the door, he wrenched it open, holding his shield up as he pushed into the building. It didn’t take him long to search the first floor of the forbidding building before making his way down to the lower level.
Emergency lights lit his way and he followed snaking cords that were obviously powering something to a locked room. Using his shield, he broke the lock and pulled the door open.
The first thing he could make out in the room was a shrouded table. It was another minute before he realized that the body atop the table was not a cadaver, but the still breathing form of Bucky.
Hurrying to Bucky’s side, Steve quickly undid the straps that held him on the table before laying his hand on the darker haired man’s chest. When there was no response except the continued rising and falling of his chest, Steve gave in and leaned down, pressing his lips to the other man’s.
He held his breath as he waited for Bucky to reciprocate or open his eyes.
It was almost anti-climatic when a sliver of blue appeared and Bucky’s voice rasped, “Took you long enough, punk.”
“You didn’t leave much of a trail,” Steve replied. “Told you not to take all the stupid with you.” He clutched the other man’s hand as he waited for Bucky to wake up enough for them to leave the building. He could wait forever if it meant they would be together.
