<(Omniscient POV)>

"We have to make sure to protect the Desert Rose. It can never fall into the hands of the invaders... Activate the detonation charges, Pike. Even if we must blow this entire base to protect the secret, we will do exactly that." One of the two extremist leaders observing the Colony soldiers decimating their troops, ordered in a grim tone of voice. Both of them were dressed in similar-looking black coats. The only thing that set apart the speaker from the other man in the room was a shining thin sword in his hands, or a rapier to be exact while the other man was holding a small spear-like weapon commonly known as a pike.

"I have already set the charges, Rapier. This is the detonator for it. We can blow this entire place up whenever we want." Pike quickly responded with a nod while showing a small black remote that he was tightly holding in his hands. "However, we should escape through the hidden tunnels underneath before we activate the detonator. Although I am ready to give my life to the cause, I am sure that the council would appreciate it more if we could inform them what truly happened here today." He said before removing the carpet from the floor of the room and revealing a small trapdoor underneath.

Rapier showed a small frown on his face at Pike's words but after thinking for a few moments, he too agreed with his logic. It wasn't even a question that both of them were immensely loyal to the organization they worked for. They were ready to give their lives at a moment's notice for the cause but that didn't mean they wouldn't even try to escape with their lives intact. They were human beings too and like most human beings in the world, they wanted to survive.

"Running away so soon? I should have known that all of you people's talks and ideals about changing the world and helping humanity rise against their corrupt governments were a ton of crap." Just when they were preparing to escape through the trapdoor, a voice suddenly interrupted them.

The two immediately became alert to the noise and began to look around, trying to determine where the voice had originated from but even after scanning the entire room, they couldn't find anyone or anything out of place. It was as if those clear words they had just heard originated from thin air.

"Do it, Pike. Activate the trigger, NOW." Reaper quickly shouted while pointing at the detonator in Pike's hands.

Alerted by Reaper's warnings, Pike decided to activate the detonator anyway and blow up the entire place without taking any chances. But before his finger could even twitch in response to the decision he had just made in his mind, a sudden pulse of energy seemed to manifest out of nowhere and short-circuited the remote, destroying it before it could be used for its true purpose.

"NO." Both Pike and Reaper screamed as they felt the last remaining hope of completing their tasks slowly slip away from their grasp.

"As much as we would like to see every one of you, filth get burnt to ashes, we are still under orders from the Chief to investigate the entire base before destroying it. So, you will have to settle for dying at my hands like the dogs you are instead of some last-measure suicide." The voice again declared but this time Pike and Reaper were finally able to see the source of the voice as the human figure of Captain Jack, the leader of the alpha division of the Colony slowly materialized in front of their eyes.

"Chief was right. This suit's stealth capability is almost as good as Jenny's camouflage power that comes with her Paintop-Cuttlefish legacy." Jack muttered to himself with a small smile under his mask while calmly walking towards the two militants.

"Sir, if I may interrupt your important conversation with your pet dog, I have come across some important pieces of information that you should know of. Specifically, I have two pieces of good news and one slice of bad news for you. Which one would you like to hear first, sir?" Cortana asked interrupting my conversation with Ace.

"... Sigh The good news I guess."

"First, the alpha platoon succeeded. They even found some interesting stuff in the base which they will be sending over to the cave. Second, the British government accepted Alfred's deal. They will be transferring his daughter to Gotham permanently and even allow her to become a US citizen if she wants." Cortana revealed. "Of course, most of them have no idea that she is the daughter of the Queen and thus the princess of the UK. So, it will be better if we keep it that way."

"Ok, got it. That was quick by the way. These discussions can even take months at a time. But again, Alfred is really good at these types of things. He is a master negotiator with that sexy British accent of his. It's not a surprise he pulled this off so easily." I praised my extremely efficient Giga Chad of a combat butler. "Anyway, so what's the bad news?"

"She will be assigned here with the mission to protect you, the multibillionaire genius Bruce Wayne as your personal bodyguard from any future assassination attempts. This has been approved by both the UK and US governments. So, you will have to let her "protect" you for the next few years... at least until the guys in the UK "forget" about her and the US government officially accepts her citizenship."

"Fuck my independent life."
