Capítulo 4: The time flies
-The next morning-
- EMPIRE ENTERPRISES Headquarters -
Steven: "Well let's take advantage of this opportunity that Veronica has given me"
Adrianna: Steven, wait a minute.
Steven: "She's Veronica's assistant, she'll need me."
Adrianna: come to my office, I want to talk to you
- Adrianna's office -
Steven: Tell me Adrianna, what am I good for?
Adrianna: I just wanted to remind you that we are trusting and putting a lot of resources into you, so don't fail us and even less betray us because, I will look for you until the end of the world
Steven: don't worry, I won't let them down, I am very clear that if I don't take advantage of this opportunity I will never have another one like it.
Adrianna: it's good that you have it clear, it's okay, go with Verónica, she's waiting for you
Steven: ok bye
-Veronica's Office-
Steven: knock knock
Veronica: you can come in
Steven: good morning veronica
Veronica: good morning steven, you're just on time, I have your documents here
Veronica: Here, these are your documents, everything is arranged including your training
Veronica: now just spend these days at home and report to the military office when they ask you to be, okay
Steven: Well, I'll make the most of the opportunity you're giving me.
Veronica: you look very different today than yesterday, you seem younger, "prettier"
Steven: the wonder that makes a good bath, food and the black suit
Veronica: I can definitely see the difference clearly.
Veronica: My gut tells me you're a good investment so good luck.
Steven: thanks, your instincts are definitely not wrong.
-7 days later-
- Army Camp Office -
I'm here for summer training
- 6 months later -
Steven Well, I passed all the military tests and exams with the highest possible grades, I even gained a little muscle.
Steven: According to the mission that Veronica gave me, for the squad I will need at least 5 or 7 individuals, let's start with 3 economic objectives to recruit, Gotham mainly has thieves and hitmen, well, a secure payment that generates stability, possibly they will have enough motivation
Though you should check the roster one more time to see if you can find another prospect for the team:
- Killer Cro, he's strong enough, but he won't listen to me if I'm weaker than him.
- Clayface, good spy material, unfortunately still in Arkham and very unstable
- Deadshot, mercenary with a daughter there may be a way
- Deathstroke, mercenary but very expensive, not very reliable, Note: bad for non-murder jobs
- Killer Frost, she is a beautiful thief, she has a very cold heart but she will probably come for money
- Silver Banshee, if this universe has her as a gang member then she is recruitable, otherwise look for alternatives, after all she has a lot of potential
- Copperhead, this one seems pretty useful even though he's locked up in Arkham
In the end, I think I'll only get in touch with 3 unless I managed to find a way to become stronger. I will not go near the others.
ok let's make an itinerary
- First go say hi to Veronica and Adrianna
- Second trip to Gotham and hire Killer Frost, Deadshot and Silver Banshee
- EMPIRE ENTERPRISES Headquarters -
Steven: hi, could you let Adrianna Anderson know that Steven Gray is coming to see her?
Receptionist: ok, I'll announce it.
Receptionist: miss Adrianna, there's a guy at the front desk who calls himself Steven Gray.
Adrianna: go ahead let it go
Receptionist: sorry for the delay, you can continue
Steven: don't worry I understand what the protocol is
Receptionist: thank you for your understanding.
- Adriana's office -
Adrianna: hi Steven, how was training?
Steven: well, I think I'm qualified for the job now.
Adrianna: ok, you arrived just in time, we have a mission for you.
Adrianna: follow me, let's surprise Veronica, she will tell you the details of the mission.
-Veronica's Office-
Adriana: knock knock
Veronica: go ahead
Adrianna: hi Veronica, guess who's back?
Veronica: who?
Adriana: your little angel, your bodyguard is here
Steven: hello
Veronica: hello
Verónica: adrianna stop joking, it's good to have you back and from what I see you did well in training.
Steven: that's right, Adrianna told me you had a new mission for me.
Veronica: in fact, you've come back at the best time.
Veronica: my science team has detected a very strong signal from a very unique energy, we think it could be an artifact from the gods or some ancient force, so we have to go explore.
Steven: some instructions to handle it
Adrianna: if it's old technology, it works for us, after all, our company is technology
Adrianna: if it's biological or magical, it's good for alternative research
Verónica: for this you will have a squad of 10 men that you will be in command and 5M dollars to hire some mercenaries
Steven: do I have permission to offer you permanent contracts?
Verónica: only if they are good at their job.
Steven: ok, I'll get ready right away.
Veronica: one last thing, your safety comes first, you are the only person I trust besides Adrianna.
Steven: i'll be back for sure.
Steven: I will travel tomorrow
-1 day later-
-Gotham-
Steven: "what a place, well, first let's contact my targets and then I'll go to the airport to meet the team and take off on the third day"
Steven: the faster you finish the quest the easier it will be to get whatever is in that location, I'm going to a bar first, they always sell information and possibly find a middleman
-Gotham Bar-
Steven: well we try in this bar
Steven: bartender, by chance, could you put me in touch with 3 people, I want to hire them for a job and I'll give them some money
Bartender: do you have their names?
Steven: no, just their nicknames: Deathshot, Silver Banshee, and Killer Frost.
Bartender: that will do, come tomorrow I'll tell you their answer after contacting them
Steven: oh by the way tell them it's for a scouting mission and the payment will be 500 thousand dollars for each one and a bonus if they do their job well
Bartender: ok, I'll pass on your message
Steven: that's all bye
Bartender: come back soon
Steven: "i should find a safe place and I must not stay more than 2 or 3 days in this city, otherwise Batman and his disciple could come to visit me"
Steven: this place really is the biggest criminal nest in the world, isn't that the iconic Bar Las Sirenas, I should visit it, this bar if I'm not mistaken belongs to Selina
Steven: hello, a gin and tonic please
Bartender: will be in 2 minutes
Woman: hey kid, why just
Steven: i was looking for a friend but apparently she's not here
Woman: what a pity, you won't buy me something to drink
Steven: what would you like?
Woman: a martini, by the way my name is Pamela Insley
Steven: "damn."
Steven: my name is steven gray
Pamela: would you like to dance with me?
Woman: Pamela what are you doing
Pamela: Selina, why are you interrupting like this? I'm not doing anything.
Selina: I'm sorry, can you lend me a moment?
Steven: ok, "Ugh, I'm saved", "on second thought this could be an opportunity there is nothing wrong with making friends with a renowned scientist even though her love for nature is extreme"
Selina: Pamela, I don't want problems as soon as the bar opens yesterday, don't use your powers here
Pamela: okay, don't worry, what's the use of using my powers here, I don't need them to conquer a handsome young man.
Selina: sigh just have fun and don't go around causing problems
Pamela: go, calm down
Steven: Pamela, the dance invitation still stands.
Pamela: of course.....
