Barley frowned when she woke up to find herself being lead to an arena. Given a stick the Program smiled darkly and then left her. Looking down at it in confusion she frowned until she saw her opponent. Another Program. Watching she stepped back as the program threw the stick and it turned into an orange light cycle. The program raced past her and she followed in suit on her own light cycle of bright blue, knowing that this time the game was far more serious.
[am I the program? Like I did for Aubree?] Bruce ran into the stadium and cursed under his breath as he watched
The Program jumped out of his lane on the cycle and right in front of Barley in attempt to shatter her cycle with his trailing beam.
Barley cursed and activating her streamer turned sharply, wheeling so that she was almost following the exact path she had a few moments earlier, but was actually right next to it. Frowning she activated the turbo so she couldn’t be cut off and turned outwards taking a left and hoping to cut the Program off.
The Program launched his cycle into the air before landing on the other side of her, He turned his turbo on briefly and weaved in front of her sharply
Barley frowned and knowing she wouldn’t be able to jump over it or go around it she leaped off her bike and over his stream. Once the bike went through the stream it snapped back to it’s stick form and she cursed as it skittered a few feet away. Shaking her head she ran towards it knowing it was her last chance.
The Program smirked and advanced on her from behind as he rode her way.
Barley picked up her bike and snapped it into action, riding it once more she activated the streamer and looked around for the Program, having not realized he had been advancing on her back when she had stopped to pick up the bike stick.
The Program rode to the side of her and took his disk off his back, in one swift motion he threw it her way the best he could while trying to keep up with her
Barley ducked and the disc flew over her, barely missing her. Frowning she threw Damon’s disc at the Program, still keeping herself close to the bike knowing that the Program’s disc would return to him eventually. [Did you know you can actually play light cycles?]
[seriously? didn't know that]The Program-- more busy on getting his disk-- didn't see hers. Instead her disk smacked into him and threw him off his bike. He shattered and disappeared
Barley stopped her bike and sighed in obvious relief. Once the disc returned she strapped it on her back and taking the stick with her left the arena. Once she was in the doorway of the exit and thinking herself to be somewhat alone she sank to the ground and cried. [ link- http://www.guzer.com/games/fltron.php ]
[awesome!]Bruce ran towards her and pulled Barley into a hug "Shhhh don't cry! You did amazing out there!" he rubbed her back kindly in a fatherly/brotherly way.
Barley whimpered and pulled away. “Bruce stop. I’m a bad person and -and I deserve the pain.” She nodded and shook her head frowning at him. “I can’t remember anything of my past! I don’t even know who this Jonah guy is and -and.” She broke off and cried.
Bruce frowned "Barley-- you aren't a bad person. Last time I checked you got Jonah to stop being a complete ass to everybody." he shook his head
Barley shook her head and continued to cry, nothing Bruce said would be able to consol her or make her feel better. She just felt horrible, unable to remember anything. Hurting people like some sort of villian.
A parachute fell from the sky, inside was a small note and a motorcycle charm bracelet. You are doing great baby-- I know you will get out of the games...and when you do....I suppose you can see me. For real this time I suppose. Ironic. I love you Barley, you may not know who I am. But know it's true-- and remember that my necklace gave me luck. Apparently it's giving you luck too!
~Jonah
Barley read the note and felt comforted by it. Smiling softly she added the charm to the necklace and then stood and nodded at Bruce, “You have a little girl to get home to, what are we waiting around here for?” She smiled at him.
Bruce chuckled "Well we now know who can get your spirits up" he rolled his eyes "and it's not me!" he laughed shook his head "Where to?"
Barley nodded, “The Tower. Of Course. I have a feeling that that is where 1796 will come in handy.” She smiled and snapped the stick, The light cycle appearing she hopped on and then scooted up before patting the spot behind her, “Hope on Mister.”
Bruce chuckled "How manly of me..." he rolled his eyes and hopped on behind her, his arms went around her waist.
Barley laughed, “Oh I’m sorry. Would you like to drive? I just figured you’d rather have me drive seeing as I just won the games.” She smirked and started up the bike, “Last chance to object.”
Bruce rolled his eyes "Just shut up and drive--I still find it disturbing that a previously blind girl is driving..." he muttered
Barley smiled and shrugged, “You should feel even more safe in that case. It means I can sense the future.” She laughed and with that sped off towards the tower, passing by Programs easily and without a care.
Bruce chuckled and held onto her as they drove.
Programs- (view spoiler)[
In these games you will be placed on one team, either red or blue. The other team will be going agianst you. Each member of your team gets a bike, and you activate the streamers.
Once the streamer is activated you create of wall of energy behind you that will kill anyone who runs into it. The goal of the game is to kill all members of the other team before they kill you.

The arena is basically a large square with lines going across it making it appear grid like, there are some tunnels that go underneath it and the floor is clear so you can see through the floor.
