Clark joined Alice to advise her what to do. She looked focused as she listened and then nodded. "I think I can do that" she replied and started by pulling herself up to the ledge. Then she carefully shuffled left and seen the rock Clark had pointed out. As there seemed to be enough purchase on that she felt secure and the climb continued at her slow and steady pace. She'd learned a lot in a short time as well as her first job but this felt the most challenging. Clark Brown

Clark almost felt like it was a sign to go down but he was going to do his best and stay, especially after he seen that Alice was safer. He took a second and slowly made his way over and spoke. "That was a little too close but luckily you seem okay," he said. "If we move to the right side about three rocks, there is a small ledge that we can take a rest on so I can get a better look around and you can well, just process everything that happened." He was okay at not freaking out as much sometimes. "Move when you are ready and I will follow behind you that way you have a bit of a security net behind you in a way." Alice Seraphim

Alice looked where Clark was talking about and nodded. This was another first time doing something so she'd take on all the advice she was given. "Gotcha Clark" she replied. Then moved there when she felt ready. At least her boots seemed to be working and giving her grip. Only when she sat on the ledge did she look down. She'd gotten stuck but there were feelings to work through. One being that one just couldn't fly when they got into a tight spot. She also didn't want to look stupid in front of anybody. She wasn't just one of the youngest Security Services agents; she was also trying to define a job in that service which would also set up its possible future as a proper police force. So she wouldn't let this stop her. Clark Brown

He did not know when he became so good at remaining calm but he was going to do his best to make sure that he did. "Hey I never asked, how did you find out about the island. I only ask because everyone seems to have all of these lavish ways of getting here. I feel like everything here is good though, at least to the point of it's beautiful." He took a second. "Alright, I think if we start from where we are now, and go up on the right we should be good." Alice Seraphim

Alice had to give the question thought as it was a rather long story that led to her swapping one mental health unit for another initially. "I'm pretty sure island authorities found me after OSE inherited my case from the CIA. Proper black ops stuff you know. Until then nobody would have known I even existed beyond the army base I grew up in" she softly replied. There was more to add and so she continued "my head was in bad shape coming here and it took a year of rehab to come out from the rabbit hole. When the love ran out after the army nurses went elsewhere the hate took over I couldn't cope anymore". It was only part of a dark story that the island therapists knew well as Alice was never shy about telling them things the CIA and OSE didn't think she remembered them telling her and the lab tests that came with growing up that way. "So what was your story?" she posed back in return. Everybody had one. Clark also explained which way they'd go from here on. "Sounds good to me" she added. Clark Brown

He was aware of just how careful he had to be so he made sure to stay still even when they were closer to one another than they had previous been. "Alright," he said now that they were both able to be mostly still. "I am going to move to the right and then I can lean down and carefully pull you up. That should put us up on about the middle of the climb and then we can hurriedly scamper up to the top." His story? That was a question that no one had truly asked him before as he thought and then spoke. "Well I used to work at a school in the science department actually. I know a couple of people from the island because they worked their too but I needed a vacation. The last thing that I let the students do was a mechanical pumpkin attack and that was when I knew i needed a break. Being here has honestly helped me a lot." Alice Seraphim

Clark had just accepted her story without question but even without giving details it would have piqued further questions; not him though. His story was short too but more interesting. "What is a mechanical pumpkin? So did you teach science?" she posed. He'd also explained what they'd do next so she nodded and waited for him to move first. They didn't have a lot of room on that ledge for starters. Clark Brown

This was one time he was glad that he did not just randomly fall asleep like he had in the past. It helped his power but it was not handy in situations like this. None the less he moved slowly and then got to the ledge and put his hand out for Alice as he positioned his foot. "Alright, let's get you up and I will quickly go up above so we have enough room on this ledge for you." Alice Seraphim

So no answer yet as they needed to get to the next ledge as he offered her his hand to get up. She wasn't so proud she couldn't accept help and this was about teamwork. So accepted his help to get to the ledge and the next stage of the climb. Anyway answers could wait. Clark Brown

He was so glad that so far everything had cooperated, well not everything but most everything for the most part and he waited for Alice as he spoke. "Not going to lie I almost felt like I was going to fall." It was strange to be the person who wanted to push for adventure but had the balance of nothing good at all. "Alright if we move over about two arms lengths and go up we will be at the top and we can turn around and look down the mountain and have lived for another day." He waited as he let Alice go first and once he had he spoke. "Oh," he said as he laughed. "Like it had a robot body and a pumpkin head, surprised I did not lose my job over it honestly."

Alice could see the way ahead clearly now Clark has shown it. So moving across a bit she could see the clear run to the top. You needed information to learn and while she did have an education she hadn't a normal schooling. She never got to mix with other children as she grew up. So as she climbed leading the way on this leg of the adventure she spoke again. "I never went to any sort of school as I wasn't allowed to mix with other children. I guess Uncle Sam didn't want to give children ideas. So I don't get why you nearly got sacked over it. I got a homeschooling programme while in my larger cage. My aunties, the army nurses took care of my education needs". She she clearly see her next next few moves at least and kept on going pulling herself up to the next narrow ledge. Booted feet felt secure here. Clark Brown

He shrugged. "I sometimes find that home schooling or any type of home schooling in a sense is better. You get to watch over your kids more and though kids can not stay kids forever it is still a nice thought in the end but we do all eventually grow up." Life was fun and meant to be lived and he was glad that Alice was getting the chance to experience that now. "I mean we all should take more advantage of the time that we are given so I hope that today at least you feel as if you are able to do that," he said as he slowly turned around and made sure that they were still secure. He seen that they were and moved on as he waited for Alice to do the same. "We are almost to the top now so not much longer left." It was crazy how excited he could feel though he hardly ever showed it. Alice Seraphim

Alice kept an eye on Clark to see what he was doing. He led the way on this part of the climb and they'd soon be at the top. So she moved where he moved and found the same handholds. "I grew up fully when they all got redeployed. Then I had to find books to keep on learning" Alice replied leaving out what happened after that. The time when things good dark for a while. Being free gave her the chance to do things like this now. Then she added "sounds good to me" as her climb continued. At least until she felt her grip loosed and she needed a little flight to stay where she was. Then landed back on the ledge again. Taking a deep breath she felt more secure and kept climbing.

It would always be a unique experience to him, stepping outside everytime and lending his life to dangerous activities but even at this time as he had worked into it with Alice he knew that he needed to do better but he felt that if they were friends at least they were getting to know one another and he could never see how that might be bad. His eyes widened when she fell but luckily with the use of her wings she was able to secure herself. "I almost forgot that you could fly there for a minute," he s aid as he finally reached the top and looked down. "OKay one more climb up and you will be at the top as well." Alice Seraphim

So they were nearly there. Alice looked upward knowing her path in life wouldn't always be easy or straightforward but the past hurt a lot less than it did before. "Nearly there then. I can't forget I can do it as it like breathing. I've been flying properly since I was five but fully learned it by six just by figuring it out. The scientists were so proud of me so I got to watch Scooby Doo before bedtime" she quietly replied. "Even now watching TV isn't much of a habit" she added. She tended to listen and read rather than watch things. Finding the first handhold it was simple after that and she pulled herself to the top where Clark was waiting. Clark Brown
