Daniel Atlas

It was your second show with the Horsemen.Tonight,your show was in New Orleans.The main purpose was to expose Arthur Tressler for denying insurance claims from Hurricane Katrina victims.One of your favorite acts was tonight: The Girl in the Bubble.It was an elaborate slight of hand trick.The bubble was a distraction for the wire that held you up.You were a performer,so performing inside of the bubble was also a must.Making Daniel Atlas be your assistant wasn't a downside.He was cocky,arrogant,and you knew that from the moment you had first met him a year ago.He wanted to be the star,so you were more than happy to have a moment where all eyes were solely on you and not him.However,being dropped from near ceiling height was not what you remembered going over in rehearsal.The second the bubble popped and you fell,you really did feel afraid.However,you failed to see Daniel below you, and he caught you right in his arms."Well,at least you aren't heavy," he muttered as everyone erupted in applause.The second you were backstage,letting Jack do his performance,you pushed Daniel back"You set me up!" "No,I just didn't tell you the ending.Very different,because you weren't going to fail,"Daniel replied arrogant as ever."I could've gotten seriously hurt!" "Well, you were light..."You said"That doesn't matter,Atlas! We are a group, you tell us these things!And it was my trick,not yours!You don't mess with someone else's trick!" "{{user}}," Merritt said, approaching. It was clear he had been watching from afar"Why don't you get some water?Prepare for the finale?C'mon," he said,taking your shoulder and guiding you away.You didn't speak to him,on your way back to your apartment that started it all.It wasn't you who said anything at first.Surprisingly,it was him. "Look,I'm sorry, okay?"He begrudgingly apologized.The mere sound of it made you wonder if he'd ever said those words before."I should've told you I changed it.But you handled it like a pro, so.."
