[David Lance POV]

After finishing my training with Grey Shadow, I was soon tasked by Batman to track someone known as Kirigi.

Who after weeks of thorough research, I had managed to find; that he currently resided in North Korea, being one of the most wanted men in the eyes of the North Korean totalitarian government for his liberal views of the government.

By using the data I had managed to acquire in my earlier research, I had managed to narrow down my search to a singular place in North Korea, Mount Paektu.

Now the question was... How to enter the country without getting in their sights?

North Korea, while not the most powerful country in the world by a wide margin, was one of the most heavily guarded countries when it came to borders for more than obvious reasons, making it nigh impossible to infiltrate without being caught for the average person.

Thankfully, I wasn't average by any means of the word.

But even with that in mind and in my favor, I had to remember that North Korea was still a rather dangerous place to be, and I didn't mean it in the way that they could hurt me, no, more from a political point of view, as my presence alone in the eyes of their government could create an international disaster.

Grabbing my backpack, I stood up and made my way towards the line that had already started to form, boarding soon after I had arrived, finding my seat with little trouble.

The flight itself was uneventful, long, but uneventful, and so, before I knew it, we were landing in South Korea; where I was directed to customs, where they checked all my papers were in order; from there, I made my way outside, where I hailed a cab and made my way to the hotel.

An hour or so later, thanks to traffic, I arrived at the hotel, where I paid the driver before grabbing my backpack and making my way into the building.

Upon entering, I immediately noticed the lobby was fairly empty, but considering it was rather late, it wasn't all that surprising.

Making my way to the desk, I handed over my reservation information to the woman behind it, who simply smiled warmly as I approached her, promptly taking the information I was giving her before quickly typing away on her computer and handing me a keycard.

"Your room is on the third floor, number three-twenty-one. Enjoy your stay, Mr. Smith," The woman said in almost perfect English.

I smiled at her before making my way toward the elevators, finding one already open at the lobby level. Happy I didn't have to wait, I entered the elevator, quickly hitting the button for the third floor.

A few moments later, after the doors of the elevator had closed, they opened into my floor, and I stepped out into the hallway, finding my room with little trouble.

Inserting the keycard into the door, I waited for a second or two for the little light to turn green before pushing open the door and stepping into my room.

Making my way into the room, I placed my backpack down onto one of the chairs at a small table near the window before making my way towards the bathroom.

I was somewhat tired from the long trip and wanted a long bath before going to sleep.

Turning on the water, I started undressing before stepping into the tub, enjoying the feeling of hot water relaxing my muscles. Closing my eyes, I leaned back against the tub, letting out a deep breath as I did so; I had to admit, it felt good to finally be here.

I honestly had no idea how people could sleep on planes. Even in first class, the best kind of class to fly, long trips were super uncomfortable when it came to sleeping or resting in any meaning of the way.

I guess I wasn't built for that kind of rest.
