- 2 hours later -
- Steven and Adrianna had already finished configuring everything and they intercepted some messages in order to detect some of the spies -
Adrianna: i think it's better to bring Veronica in now, although there may still be some spies, the situation is much better than before.
Steven: ok I'm going to bring Veronica
Steven: i think you should bring a few things so they don't recognize you when they come in, maybe a wig, glasses, and a coat with a bulletproof vest underneath.
Adrianna: you're right I'll prepare it right away
Adrianna: go out the back door with all that and explain the situation to Veronica.
Steven: the sun was already at its highest point, it's almost lunch time, I guess that's an advantage to sneak Veronica into the building.
Steven: could you lend me a gun, Adrianna?
Adrianna: do you know how to use one?
Steven: no
Adriana: so you don't need one
Steven: damn, but it would have made me feel safer.
Steven: I'm going out then.
Adrianna: good luck
- Outside the building-
Steven: "okay, there's the cab."
Steven: hi, I'm back, could you open the door for me?
Taxi driver: ok pass
Steven: veronica, the situation is good, but we're still not sure if a spy got in, so I brought you this to disguise yourself and this vest for your protection.
Verónica: look at you already playing a bodyguard, you seem to have a talent for this
Steven: I can't believe that with your situation you still dare to joke
Veronica: not my first rodeo boy
Steven: well, are you ready?
Veronica: sure, let's go to my office.
Steven: "right now the place seems pretty empty, I guess Adrianna took advantage and sent as many people as possible to lunch."
Steven: what's that reflection in the mirror, the hell is he a traitor and he's aiming at Veronica
Steven: Careful
Veronica: hmm
Steven: "I have to save her"
Steven: that was close
Verónica: off too much, thanks for protecting me
Veronica: "acting like a hero is crazy, but he looked kind of handsome"
Veronica: "damn, what's wrong with you today, Veronica, don't think like that, calm down, calm down"
Steven: Well, we're still alive, so it's all good.
Adrianna: are you okay?
Steven No, I have a wound on my arm.
Verónica: yes, what happened to the attacker?
Adrianna: the guards have neutralized him (dead)
Veronica: Are you okay Steven?
Steven: between what fits yes, it was just a touch, I'll live
Veronica: You have a talent for defending yourself, so you better be my bodyguard.
Steven: Do you want me to be your guardian angel?
Verónica: "you could also be the guardian of my heart"
Veronica: stop kidding around and go get first aid, I'll go to my office to talk to Adrianna, go when you finish your healing
-Veronica's Office-
Veronica: Adrianna, what do you think of Steven?
Adrianna: I think he's a talented guy.
Veronica: Trustworthy?
Adriana: Enough
Veronica: I thought of having him as my bodyguard, but now his skills are a bit lacking, I should send him for special training, what do you think?
Adrianna: I think it'll help, at least I never leer at us like that.
Adrianna: You should ask him, although I think he'll say yes to the training.
Adrianna: He also seems to be the person we were looking for for the Imperial Squad project.
-2 hours later-
-Veronica's Office-
Veronica: Steven, how are you feeling?
Steven: I'm fine, I'll recover in a few days.
Veronica: well, actually I called you here because I wanted to make you a proposal.
Steven: yes, tell me
Verónica: I would like you to be in charge of one of my projects.
Veronica: It's called the imperial squad, the idea is to form a group with people who have unique abilities, this arises because every day we have more heroes and villains who have immense abilities that could destroy an entire city, and for a person like me who went up to the top of society recently, these superheroes are not something I like to see very often
Steven, I understand Miss Veronica.
Veronica: well, I'll give you some resources, information, and men so you can start recruiting qualified people.
steven: I see
Veronica: But before that, you have to go through proper training, so I will send you to train in a military camp.
Steven: When would that be?
Veronica: probably next week
Steven: I understand
Verónica: I have already started processing your documents, take these keys, they are from an apartment I have near here, you will stay there until I call you.
Steven: you are the boss you decide
-Department-
Uff what a day, I should bathe and eat, I haven't eaten anything all-day
Well, the situation has improved a bit, although I don't know who I work with or if, as they say, I sold my soul to the devil.
What people should you recruit? You should probably go to Gotham, there are quite a few unique beings in the city that could do the trick.
Deadshot is good, should have it, as long as there is money, I think it will do
I guess Veronica left me in charge of several men, I should explore some ruins maybe find some artifacts, after all in this world the gods are real.
Let's rest, this could be my only good night since I came to this universe
-Veronica's house-
Isadore: Mom you came back how was your day
Veronica: Alright little Adrianna, I don't coddle you much, do I?
Isadore: I just bought an ice cream hehe
Veronica: Okay, I'll pass it this time, how was school?
Isadore: well today they taught us about plants and animals
Verónica: that sounds great tell me more...
