Author's Note

I wanted to fix up the story a whole lot it feels like I left it in a weird place again. Sorry.

Mission impossible 2

Sombra and Cadence stared at each other from oppositesides of a wooden desk. A silence so deafening that one could hear the magicle chimes of the crystal castle.

Cadence looked down at the paper Sombra drew up for her. "Ok can we go over this again? I'm sorry but you say Twlight has been threatening you and that doesn't make sense to me."

Sombra took a deep breath as he rubbed his muzzle. "One more time. Twilight says if we don't behave we will be frozen with the elements."

Cadence blinked, "Sombra I say this with love and understanding. I have moved past it but you did take over multiple times, and brain washed the masses."

Sombra sighed "and I see that, fine. I get it I was doing horrific things. But how long am I supposed to be under a damn microscope. I'm not allowed any mistakes, any questions. I can't ask about the gray areas or it's back to friendship boot camp. You know what I still have questions!"

"That's not even the worst part the worst part was Twilight never gave us a chance, especially Discord. How come Starlight never got frozen? How come she got a chance? Why is it she lives the high life of independence but screw us?! We did the same damn thing only you could argue she did it better!"

Cadence frowned, "I just can't believe it. It feels like it should be impossible, and you tried talking to her?"

"Talking to her just gets us lectures on how we are not ready. Candece they fear us, that's the difference! She's scared of us, and I understand why but I don't understand why it's not applied to everyone."

Cadence looked down at the papers again only to look back up. "I'm sorry I never noticed. I'm sorry I didn't do anything until now." She reached across the table and held Sombra hoof gently. "I'm sorry I didn't believe you." The edges of her eyes starting to tear up.

Sombra went wide-eyed, pulling back from her he shifted in his seat. "You helped raise her, you suffered under my hoof. I don't blame you for your doubts. We want a chance, just like every other pony."

Cadence took out a pen and signed the document. "I'd like to give you that chance. I'll talk to Twilight I'm sure this is just a miscommunication. That a meeting could clear this all up, for now you are welcome here. You can have your own rooms, as a thank you for your help with my daughter. You don't have to live in it, think of it as your personal space."

Sombra shifted in his seat further, he had not expected this to go as smoothly as it did. "Right." He said trying figgure out what her long game was. Sombra succeeded in his, somewhere to flee. Was her's just his magic? Or did she want more from him? "You agree to it all then?"

"Yup you are more then welcome to treat this place as safe ground. We will not let you get frozen." Cadence paused, "what was it like being frozen?"

Sombra rolled his eyes, "You wouldn't believe me anyway. Twilight never does, if she even listens."

Cadence cringed at the thought, "You never know. Try me."

"It's...not easy to talk about."

"Well what if we traded stories? I have a few that are not easy to talk about and I'd like to build trust with you and Discord."

Sombra squinted at Candece, whe was up to something. He shrugged, he told this to Twilight many times so it's not like it was a secret. "It's awful your body is still but your mind is active. There's nothing to do, there is nothing at all but void and darkness. The cold is intense and to the bone. It peirces you so much that you feel you'll freeze to death. You wish you could shiver, as it be something, hell you wish you could twitch just any muscle. You'll miss anytime you turned your head. You took for granted every movement you got to make before the void. Time moves at a torturous pace, you can't tell what day it is and it moves so slow yet so fast. You know the world moves by and you wish for anything else. Even death. I still get cold chills, unshakable cold chills." Sombra stared into her eyes, trying to figgure out any information they spoke.

"Wow....thats....horrifying." Tears spilled form Cadences eyes and she quickly wipped them.

"What more horrifying is the foal they decided to put in the same situation. Yet nothing is done about it."

"I will bring that up immediately. I can't believe that would go ignored, it's disgusting." Cadence paused, looking into Sombras eyes. They watched her like a hawk and she assumed he was waiting for her.

"Well a promisebis a promise. I was once engaged to another stallion. As a princess my hoof was promised to a stallion from a royal family. He was the worst and I hated him. He treated me like his personal toy. Telling him to make dinner, clean his stuff, all that kinds of stuff. One day I meet Shining and I was in love. It was terrible I couldn't stand his gaze."

Cadence took a shakey breath and leaned to Sombra. "One day I couldn't take anymore I wanted to be with Shining. Damn the consequences so I told my mother. She was not happy so I did the only logical next step."

"Which was?" Sombra questioned finding himself oddly invested.

"Bucked him in the nuts and told him to get lost. I'm not proud of it but he was pushing me to do things I didn't want to do, not with him. Mom always though he found someone else and let me date Shining. She still has no idea."

Sombra crossed his hooves in front of him and shuddered. "Well he earned it. Takes a special kind of evil to think that stuff is alright." Silence enveloped the room as Sombra looked at Cadnece. She may want him for his magic, but she was at least more pleasant about it then Twilight. "Then I suppose I can't say no. You have a deal, we will help you in extange for your protection from the elements."

"I am happy to have you while I clear the air with Twlight. I'm sure I can get her to come around."

"Well ..we will just have to see." Sombra said it but he knew it wouldn't happen. No need to test the waters just yet.
