[Unknown POV]

The light flickers on, revealing a large room painted in white. A lone desk sits in the center of the room, and behind it, a woman is sitting. Her name is Amanda Waller, also known as the Wall.

Without any expression on her cold, emotionless face, she stared at her laptop with intense concentration, slowly scrolling down. On her screen, files about Black Bolt can be seen.

Files with detailed information about him, about the hero known as Black Bolt, about his powers, about his feats, and much, much more.

From Waller's point of view, Black Bolt is a clear threat to her plans, a plague, an unacceptable variable, and because of that, she was determined to not rest until he's been neutralized.

Be that as it may, Waller wasn't dumb by any means of the word; she knew this task wasn't going to be easy; after all, Black Bolt had the League on his corner, but unlike the League, she was willing to do whatever it takes to achieve her goals.

"Don't you think you are giving this child too much attention?" Aladdin, one of Waller's agents, asked.

"I suggest you leave, Batman," Waller said in a calm yet defiant tone of voice, "Before things get messy."

Batman didn't move, his glare on her only intensifying. "I'm not going anywhere until we have a talk."

"And what will you do if I don't talk?" Waller said, leaning forward with a smile. "Kill me? Please, if you had the balls to do that, you would've killed the Joker a long time ago, so it can't be that. So tell me, Batman, what's that, that you have that makes you think you can order me around?"

Batman's eyes narrowed. "You're not the only one here with access to vital information, Waller," he said in a low voice. "I know a lot of things, things that, if revealed to the right individuals, would leave you powerless."

Waller leaned back in her chair and chuckled. "And what exactly is that that you know?" she asked mockingly, her hand reaching for her whiskey as she looked at Batman with a cocky smile.

"File X-10/25*R," Batman answered plainly. "Word of advice, you should really work on getting better passwords."

At this, Waller's amusement quickly faded away, replaced by a look of irritation and anger. "You dare?! That file is none of your business!" she snapped, glaring at Batman.

"When it endangers the lives of innocent people, the lives of my people, it becomes my business, Waller," Batman retorted, leaning forward, his face inches away from Waller's face. "So, here's the deal. You will stay out of our way, and I won't release the file. Are we clear? Or do I need to explain it again?"

Waller stared at him for a few moments before she finally answered. "Fine," she said through gritted teeth, "But know that this isn't over, Batman."

"Oh, it is very much over," Batman said in a cold voice as he straightened up and turned around to leave, "You will stay out of our way, or you will lose everything. From this point forward, is your call." And with that, the lights of the room flickered for a moment, and just like he had come, he was gone without a trace, leaving Waller alone in her office, seething with anger.

"You won't hold me back forever, Batman," Waller said to the empty room, her voice filled with venom, "I will get what I want, one way or another." With that, Amanda Waller leaned back in her chair and took a sip of her whisky, her mind already working on how to deal with her situation, one way or another, Batman would regret this choice, that much Waller vowed.
