Okay so let the mind games begin! The first chapter of Inception is up! It will follow the movie plot except have my own character incorporated in it which of course will change a few things! I hope you like it! Let me know!

At the Warehouse…Paris…

They were all sitting in the warehouse near the University. The team consisted of Cobb (the Extractor), Arthur (the Point Man), Eames (the Forger), Saito (the Tourist), Yusuf (the Chemist), and Ariadne (the Architect). They were formulating a plan to plant an idea into their target's head. The target was a man named Robert Fischer. Fischer's father is the rival to Saito's company and he has a terminal illness. His days are numbered. Saito needed Robert Fischer Jr. to split up his father's empire so that it no longer threatened Saito's company. That's where Cobb and the team came in. They had to make it look like the idea was Fischer's. Inception: planting the idea in the target's mind and making them believe it was their idea to begin with. Going so deep and ignoring the consequences.

"So we have the whole team together. Now what?" Saito asked anxiously.

"We don't have everyone," Cobb said looking down.

"What do you mean? There are more people?" Saito asked disbelievingly.

"Just one more," Cobb said quietly.

He knew Arthur would not like this and he knew there was a fat chance in hell he could get her to come aboard. But he had to try. He needed her for this. He felt Arthur's eyes drilling holes into his head. He didn't tell Arthur he'd be recruiting her.

"Who is it?" Saito asked impatiently.

"I'm going to need all of you there when I speak to her," he said and Arthur knew immediately who he was speaking about.

"Don't involve her Cobb," Arthur said quickly.

"Who? Who is she?" Ariadne asked letting her curiosity get the best of her.

She had never seen Arthur talk to Cobb so firmly.

"She's my sister Riley," Cobb said and Arthur looked upset as her name left his lips; like he had just revealed a big secret.

"Riles? Oh man how is the little darlin? Haven't seen her in the longest!" Eames said grinning.

"You have a sister?" Saito asked a bit shocked.

"You never mentioned her," he added.

Cobb nodded.

"We haven't spoken in a while…" he said and went quiet.

"Why do you need all of us there?" Ariadne asked confused.

"Like I said…we haven't spoke in a while," Cobb repeated.

"But we need her on the team. Why?" Saito asked.

"Because I can't do the inception without her," Cobb said quietly.

"Cobb, don't do this," Arthur tried desperately once more.

"I'm sorry Arthur but if I want to go home, I need her with me. See…I've done inception before, that was truth, but I didn't do it alone. Riley helped me. Without her, if something goes wrong—well let's just say that with Riley there…she's good with damage control," Cobb finally managed to get out what he was trying to say.

Arthur's eyes widened. He hadn't known she had helped Cobb with the inception. Ariadne could tell this wasn't an easy subject for Cobb or Arthur.

"So let's go get her," Saito said standing up.

"It's not that easy. She's going to resist," Cobb said still sitting.

"What do you mean? She is your family," Saito said annoyed.

"Just because we have the same blood, doesn't necessarily make us a close family. I don't think she'll help me," Cobb said looking down.

"But it's to be with your kids again," Ariadne said quietly.

Cobb looked at her.

"You don't understand. I wasn't the best brother; I made her do some bad things for me and I regret that. I messed up her life when I asked her to do that last inception so when we see each other again and I ask her to help do this inception…she's not going to be too thrilled," he finished shaking his head.

"Well you'll just have to persuade her to come with us," Saito said and Arthur stood up.

"He's not going to persuade her to do anything," he said in a low growl glaring at Saito.

Arthur just didn't entirely trust the man. Eames furrowed his eyebrows at Arthur's hostility. Cobb groaned inwardly.

"Arthur, calm down. We'll handle this the right way," Cobb said standing and motioning for the two men to sit back down.

"She stays at the University," Cobb said and Ariadne frowned.

"She goes to my school?" Ariadne asked curiously.

"No, she just stays there. It's a long story, one that isn't necessary to hear right now. We have to go now. Getting her to come with us may take some time," Cobb said standing up.

"I'm going to need you all with me on this," Cobb added quietly and headed for the exit.

"It's been a long time since I've seen the little darlin. This should be fun," Eames said grinning.

The group started heading out and Ariadne noticed Arthur was not following them.

"Arthur, are you coming?" she asked confused.

Arthur shook his head.

"I don't want any part of this," he said angrily.

"He's just going to ask her to help us with the inception," Ariadne shrugged.

"No, he's going to try to force her and I'm not going to stand there and watch it happen," he said firmly.

Ariadne stared at him. The usually calm, cool, and collected man was hostile and on edge.

"Well wouldn't you want to be there to make sure that doesn't happen?" Ariadne tried a different tactic.

Arthur looked at her then.

"She doesn't deserve what he's about to do to her, she's already been through enough," he said and stopped talking.

There was a short pause before he spoke again.

"I'll go, but just to keep the peace," he said standing up and grabbing his jacket.

Ariadne was surprised by his words.

"Keep the peace?" Ariadne questioned.

"Cobb is going to try to catch her in a dream. But she's smart. She'll see him coming and she'll catch him first. I'm going to make sure no one gets hurt too bad," Arthur said almost smiling.

"How do you know all this?" Ariadne asked curiously.

"I've been with those two longer than the others. Over the years I've learned that Cobb may be the best extractor but Riley's the best, period," he said and Ariadne's eyes widened.

"You speak so highly of her…" Ariadne noticed.

"She's a good friend of mine," Arthur said and headed for the door.

Ariadne followed still a little curious.

At the University…

They walked into his room and he sighed upon seeing them.

"I have no more architects for you Dom," Stephen Miles said shaking his head.

Cobb smiled at his father-in-law.

"I'm not here for that Stephen. Ariadne is working out just fine," Cobb said smirking.

Miles seemed to take a breath after seeing Ariadne waving to him.

"Good to see you again Ariadne. How's everything going?" he asked one of his best and brightest students.

"Uh, good so far Professor," she said nodding and Miles let out a small, sad smile.

"Well that's good. Why are you all here then?" he asked moving on.

"I need to speak with Riley," Cobb said and Miles went tense.

"Absolutely not," he said and started collecting things off his desk hurriedly.

"Miles, I can't do this without her. I need to go home and she has to help me get there," Cobb almost pleaded.

Miles shook his head.

"I want no part of this…you know where she is," he said and headed for the door quickly.

Before he exited he turned to Cobb.

"Hasn't that girl suffered enough?" he asked almost bitterly and left without waiting for an answer.

The team headed for the dorms and Cobb entered a specific password into the door lock successfully opening it. They walked into her room and Cobb stopped short. Riley was lying on her futon, her arm hooked up to a box. She was in her dream. Cobb almost smiled. So she still used the dream share huh? Old habits die hard. He made his way towards her and sat down rolling up his sleeve.

"This isn't a good idea, I hope you see that," Arthur said and Eames walked passed him, rolling up his sleeve as well.

"I've always wanted to see what Riles dreamed about," he said ready for anything.

Arthur rolled his eyes and as everyone got ready to go into the dream he reluctantly joined them.

In Riley's Dream…

The team was standing right where they were in her room except Riley wasn't there.

"What is this?" Saito said confused.

"She knows we're here already. She's replicated the entire room from memory. That's a dangerous move…recreating from memory," Cobb said amazed.

He headed for the door and realized there was no knob.

"She's trying to trap us," Eames said chuckling.

He then proceeded to throw his body into the door when it changed from a wooden door to a steal door. Eames bounced back from the impact and fell to the floor.

"Ouch," he groaned as Yusuf helped him up.

"How did that happen? How did she do that? She just changed the door mid-dream!" Ariadne said in shock.

Cobb nodded.

"She's an extremely lucid dreamer. Her minds been thoroughly trained for this kind of thing. Her advancement exceeds expectations. Riley! Are you going to let us out so we can talk or are you going to keep us here forever?" Cobb called out to his younger sister.

"You of all people shouldn't joke about forever in a dream. I could keep you imprisoned here forever if I wanted. Then with a timed kick you'd wake up and only minutes would have passed but I would be long gone," a voice said but no body was connected to it.

The walls of the room began to shake and then started to crumble. As the walls fell bars replaced them. They were in a cell. A young woman stood on the opposite side of the cell. She had long, dark brown hair and bright green eyes. Her hair was pulled back into a messy bun. She wore an orange shirt and black jeans that went nicely with her fair complexion. She leaned against a pole staring at the group. They were in the streets of Paris by the University.

"Where's Nash?" she asked looking at the group one by one.

"He no longer works with us. This is Ariadne our new architect," Cobb said tentatively.

Riley scoffed.

"So you finally smartened up and got rid of the bastard. Good job, he would have gotten you or Arthur killed sooner or later. I hope you took care of all the loose ends he came with," she said.

"You know that's not how I—" Cobb tried but Saito cut him off.

"—he was dealt with accordingly," Saito chimed in.

"Who are you?" Riley turned her attention to Saito.

"This is Saito and this is Yusuf," Cobb explained pointing to a shy Yusuf.

Saito. Riley knew that name vaguely. It dawned on her then that her last job with Cobb and Arthur revolved around Saito. The COBOL job, they had labeled the extraction.

"You already know Eames and Arthur," Cobb added breaking her from her thoughts.

"I do. So what do you want?" she asked becoming impatient.

"Saito's promised me full clearance into the U.S. to go home and be with my kids if I complete this job for him. It would be my last," Cobb started.

Riley's eyes widened and a small smile fell on her lips.

"That's great Dom," she said truly happy for her brother.

The bars slowly started to come down to let the team out. She had thought he had come for her but he had just come to tell her this great news. She mentally hit herself for automatically thinking the worst of him.

"I came here because I need your help. He wants me to perform inception on his competitor," Cobb said after a short pause.

Riley's small smile faded fast though her eyes remained wide. The bars stopped coming down. The people walking in the street going about their business froze mid step and turned to stare at the group behind the bars. Everything in the dream world stopped. Riley stared at Cobb unblinkingly. She took the mental hit back. She was right to imprison him. He had come for her.

Ariadne stared at the frozen landscape and people. She was controlling them all? How was that possible? She had total control over her own dreams.

"I know what you're thinking, I know, but Riley if I do this one last job I can go home. I can be with my kids. I can see their faces again," he pleaded.

Riley turned away from him. Thunder rumbled behind some buildings in the back. Cobb gripped onto the bars tightly, the cold steel cooling his sweaty palms. So her emotions were connected to the weather in the dream? She really was a god here.

"We swore to never do it again," she said, her back still turned from him.

Cobb let his head lean against the bars. He was feeling defeated.

"I need you with me on this Riley. You're the only one who can do it besides me! Please! I'm not asking you I'm begging you! For my kids Riley! For your niece and nephew! Please!" he begged desperately.

It began raining. Riley covered her mouth to stop her soft sobs. Arthur gritted his teeth. He hated this. Suddenly, classical music softly started playing out of nowhere. Riley looked up.

"I have to go. Don't come after me, okay?" she said weakly turning back to him.

"Don't do this. You're my last shot at going home a free man," Cobb pleaded.

"I made a promise—" she started but Cobb cut her off.

"—to me! You made a promise to me! So if I'm asking you to break that promise then it doesn't count!" he yelled frustrated.

"Do you realize what you're asking me to do? You want me to go inside this guy's head and plant an idea! Do you know how dangerous that is? There are consequences Dom! You should know this!" she roared.

"I know it better than anyone! But I'll do it to see my kids again! I'll do it!" he shot back.

"Then do it! No one's stopping you! You know how! Do it then!" she screamed.

The thunder boomed louder and closer than before. Cobb hit the bars and turned around. Riley closed her eyes. The music was still playing.

"I'm not going to have much time to get away after I wake up because once I open my eyes my dream will collapse and you will wake up right after. I should have just enough time to leave the room though. Getting lost in the crowd shouldn't be too hard. I've gotten used to disappearing real fast. I wish you luck Dom…I really do," she said and took off down the road disappearing around the corner.

End Dream.

Riley opened her eyes and sat up slowly. Her body was stiff but soon the stiffness faded and she looked around. The others were still fast asleep. She quickly grabbed a small bag from underneath her bed. She opened the door and stopped short. She turned and looked at Arthur's sleeping form. She bit her lip and ran out, closing the door behind her.

Cobb woke up right after the door closed. Riley was gone. He was devastated but still insisted that they go to Sydney the next day.

Thoughts? Like the new character? Into the story? Let me know! I love reviews!
