Portland, Oregon at night and in a bank's surveilance room the blonde haired night security guard had her feet up while looking at framed photo. It was her smiling with a man with his arms around her waist while they were in swimsuits on a beach, she shed a tear as she then put it down and looked to the newspaper articles hung up on her wall.
Front page stories of her time in the Portland Police Bureau, photos of successful busts that she and her fellow officers did. Then came the newspaper article about the blackout, manhunt for on the run domestic terrorism suspect Tom Wachowski and an article about her dismissal from the Bureau.
She then put her eyes to the security monitors and groaned at the sight; waiting outside looking up to the cameras with a smile as he was waving was an obtuse man with glasses. She made her way to meet him and told him "I told you Morty to stop coming to me at work! I get enough flak for even still talking to you and I don't want to lose this job as well!"
"You have to listen Rebecca because this is big news: I have a new source in the government that not only confirmed the Blue Devil is real but wants to recruit us to be official alien hunters!" Morty told her and Rebecca groaned. Morty was an old high school classmate that she had gotten to know in the last 8 months: more like wouldn't stop pestering her after he had come to her wanting him to help in his conspiracy theories.
He was not only a loser but a conspiracy nut not unlike QAnon or anti-vaxxers.
He had come to her about a story that the EMP surge from 8 months ago was caused by a blue hedgehog like alien or government experiment, he had been living in a small Montana town where he had caused the stories of a Blue Devil by another conspiracy theorist called Crazy Carl.
"Is this like the source that confirmed that the moon landing was a hoax invented to hide the plot to turn America back into a British colony? Or how Hussien's death was faked?" Rebecca asked with her arms folded shaking her head. She was heading to go back inside when Morty grabbed her arm.
"There are a lot of things the Government has hidden for the public Mrs Thorne." said a voice and Rebecca turned to see Stone there smiling. "Allow me to introduce myself: I am Agent Hopper of GUN: Guardian Unit of Nations the new top secret agency dedicated to protecting this planet from alien invaders." Stone told her and Rebecca raised an eyebrow, whatever bozo came up with the name must be part of the NRA.
"So are you Morty's new contact?" Rebecca asked and Stone nodded.
"I was on a forum searching up Robotnik and I got a notice saying that they will be in touch. He came to my door and explained everything." Morty explained with a smile and Rebecca remembered that Robotnik was a name that Morty said he found when trying to search for details about the Blue Devil or the Tom Wachowski case but all files had been deleted or heavily classified.
Stone then pressed buttons on his glove and to their astonishment they saw that there was a hologram showing Sonic, Tails and Knuckles and then the giant robot. "Yes the Blue Devil exists and he goes by 'Sonic'. We were tasked with taking them down but one of our own going by the name Robotnik went rogue. He created this machine after being driven mad by the near limitless power that the alien has at his disposal, the aliens took the robot down thinking themselves as heroes and forced GUN to retreat while they continue with their plans to take over our little planet." Stone explained as Morty went up to the hologram.
"Looks like a moustached Megazord." Morty said as Rebecca was thinking it over.
"I was put in charge of an off the books operation to neutralise them, we have made measures to finally take them out and we want you to be part of a team to use these measures to save the Earth." Stone said as Rebecca sighed.
"The aliens are being housed by Wachowski who got his name cleared and enjoys his pushy sheriff job while you were kicked out of your position despite your years of service." Stone brought up bringing her pause. "This is your chance not only to save the world, vindicate yourself but to avenge Sam." Stone told her and she then had a serious look on her face.
"Alright... You have me." Rebecca said finally with Morty exciting and Stone grinned.
"We have some prototype suits for you two to test out and hopefully take out the alien menaces " Stone grinned.
