Hello everyone, I am back! This is SuperHeroTimeFan returning with another new chapter of Path of the Padawan. I would like to thank everyone for getting me this far. Thank you, Christian Jedi, KrautYank, RozenMaiden7, JacklyinKarst, Burning Phoenix, Ocnarf, Chris Adair, Logan GC, Prosper7593 and many of the Guests for reviewing and liking this story so much! You're all too kind for words! Now, I will answer everyone's questions and concerns. Chris Adair, you asked when the Separatists will invade. I assure you that they will arrive soon enough, but not quite yet. Consider this story to be similar to Logan GC's A New Destiny, so as he says the Empire will not arrive for a while in his story, neither will the Separatists in mine. KrautYank, Kota appearing in my story has a slight possibility, so I might consider it. Also, the Star Wars universe will be the only one ORDER will enter through, so sorry, no HALO. I hope that I answered everyone's questions and concerns for now. This chapter goes to The Christian Jedi, because he gave me the idea and helped me with the chapter, and Ocnarf, because this chapter will have a special request from him. Chapter 7 of Path of the Padawan is ready to go! Please review, rate and of course, enjoy!
Chapter 7: United
Coruscant, Senatorial Apartment…
Anakin slept with his wife, Padme Amidala, late that night. Padme could almost feel that she was soon going to have children, but she wanted Anakin to know at the right moment. As of Anakin, he was worried sick about Ahsoka. Nothing had ever been the same since she left the Jedi Order. As the two slept side-by-side with each other on their bed, Anakin started to mutter. "Ahsoka, don't die!" he yelled out. Padme woke up and took notice of this strange behavior. "Ahsoka, no!" Anakin once again yelled. Padme looked do Anakin concernedly and shook his body. "Ani, wake up!" Padme urged. Finally, Anakin snapped out of bed and panted.
Anakin looked down sadly and then walked towards the windowsill. Padme followed him as she was still concerned about his recent behaviors. "Was that dream about Ahsoka?" Padme asked concernedly. Anakin grunted and nodded as he faced the window. "They're like the dreams about my mother before she–" Anakin started out, but quickly stopped himself. Padme sighed and walked up towards him. "Everything will be alright, Anakin." Padme reassured her husband. Anakin internally sighed as he looked back to Padme. "That's what I'm afraid of." He stated. The two frowned as they went back to sleep. Nothing was ever going to be the same.
The next morning, Anakin walked over to the Communications Center of the Jedi Temple. Obi-Wan and Mace Windu followed behind him. "Master Skywalker, why do you intend to waste all of your resources in finding Padawan Tano?" Mace Windu asked in a serious tone. Anakin grunted and turned around as the three entered the room, where Serra Keto was waiting for them. "Ahsoka made a huge impact on my life! It was your fault that she left!" Anakin abruptly snapped. Master Kenobi stepped up and cleared his throat before speaking. "I'd watch your tone if I were you." He simply stated. Anakin sighed and nodded. "Forgive me for my behavior, Masters." Anakin apologized. The two Jedi Masters nodded before walking up to Serra. "Padawan Keto, what news do you have?" Master Windu asked. Serra sighed and shook her head. "Lux was sent to the anomaly two days ago, and he hasn't replied ever since." Serra informed. Anakin grunted. "What about our prisoner? How is Barriss rotting in jail?" Anakin angrily asked. Serra gulped before responding. "Master Skywalker, Barriss Offee is under high guard, and she can't escape." Serra reported. Just then, a voice entered their minds. "You just hope it stays that way, Jedi." A deep voice taunted them. Anakin and the rest of the Jedi looked around with confusion. "What's going on?" Anakin asked angrily. Their questions would be answered sooner than they thought.
Earth 16 Gotham City January 16th 1138 hours
Bane catapulted one car into another as he rampaged throughout Gotham City. As he went around growling and causing terror, he heard a distant sigh come from behind him. "Bane, if all you wanted was some attention, then wouldn't it hurt to simply say 'ayudame'?" Ahsoka Tano asked snippily, inflicting the Spanish tongue. Bane turned around and clicked his tongue at her. "Chica, you're too outclassed here. No one can defeat me." Bane replied back. Just then, Lux walked up behind him. Ahsoka's eyes widened as Lux immediately used his Darksaber to cut off the supply of Kobra-Venom providing Bane with strength. "That seemed fairly easy." Lux stated.
Mount Justice January 16th 1138 hours
Ahsoka facepalmed herself and shook her head in disappointment. "Lux, that's not what we were supposed to do!" Ahsoka exclaimed as the setting died down. Superman was prepared to jump in if anything went wrong, but because of Rebel, it didn't seem necessary. Lux sighed as he walked over to Ahsoka and sheathed the Darksaber. "If the enemy has some sort of energy supply supporting them, then the best and logical strategy is to cut it off." Lux explained. Ahsoka grunted. "That's not how things are done!" Ahsoka exclaimed. The Man of Steel flew down and landed beside them. "It was good training, but I'll leave you two alone for now." Kent nervously stated. Ahsoka and Lux looked aside before Superman flew over to Batman and Black Canary.
At that moment, Artemis, M'gann and Aqualad walked into the room and saw what was happening. "I guess they're at it again." Artemis stated. The Martian and Atlantean nodded as they watched Ahsoka and Lux argue. "Protocol comes first, Ahsoka!" Lux yelled. Ahsoka mumbled before speaking up. "When you're on Earth, some things go differently than others!" Ahsoka remarked. Lux stuttered. "Whatever happened to following protocol?" Lux asked angrily. Ahsoka groaned and threw her arms up into the air. "You're so stuck in the past, you know that?!" Ahsoka snapped, causing Lux to glare at her. Artemis, M'gann and Kaldur all stood neutral as they and the older heroes watched the heated argument occur. After a while, the two groaned loudly and walked away from each other to different sides of the Cave. Artemis and M'gann both looked to Kaldur, who just shrugged. "We can't let Ahsoka break up with her boyfriend!" Artemis exclaimed. M'gann nodded. "I'm pretty sure that we can at least talk to them to prevent any further conflicts." M'gann added on. Aqualad gave an affirmative nod and looked to where Lux was heading. "I could talk to Rebel about the situation." The Atlantean stated. The three nodded in agreement and with that, the Team went to help sort things out between Ahsoka and Lux.
In her room, Ahsoka meditated in order to calm herself down. As she sat on her knees and faced the wall, she heard a hum come from the door. Ahsoka installed a sort of doorbell at her door when she first came to the Cave and got her own room. It was in order to let her feel more at home. "Enter." Ahsoka politely replied. M'gann and Artemis then came in and looked down to Ahsoka. "Ahsoka, we wanted to talk." Artemis stated calmly. Ahsoka sighed and stood up. "Very well, girls, what was it you wanted to talk about?" Ahsoka asked very calmly. M'gann squirmed and stroked her hair before responding. "We wanted to talk about you and Lux, about your relationship so far." M'gann explained. Ahsoka's smile lessened as she sat down on her bed. "Lux and I go back, but he just doesn't understand the changes I'm going through." Ahsoka stated. Artemis and M'gann looked back and forth to each other before talking some more to the young Jedi.
At the same time, Aqualad was giving some counsel to Lux. "I understand how relationships can become tense, but there are ways to handle them." Kaldur'ahm advised. Lux stopped looking at the holograms of him and his late mother and looked to Aqualad. "You see, some people care for each other, but not show it." M'gann reasoned to Ahsoka. "But there are times when you secretly hide those feelings away." Aqualad explained back to Lux at the other side of Mount Justice. Ahsoka, on the other end, scoffed and nodded her head in disagreement. "There are two kinds of strains in life. There's the love feeling…" Ahsoka replied. "…And the arrogant feeling." Lux stated back on his end. Aqualad and Artemis both sighed at their respective locations before going on. "We go through relationships a lot." Artemis explained. "And we sometimes have feelings of regret about them." Aqualad finished up.
Artemis scoffed as she looked to the Togrutan. "I mean, I had a sister, Jade. We always had our ways." The archer stated. Aqualad chuckled as Lux started to mumble. "A while back, I loved a girl from Atlantis named Tula, and we both had feelings for each other at the time." The Atlantean remarked. "Jade isn't the… brightest candle on the cake…" Artemis drawled while Ahsoka looked up and raised an eyebrow. "…But she does know where her heart belongs." Aqualad stated to Lux, who seemed to smirk in confusion. M'gann stepped up to Ahsoka and placed a hand on her shoulder. "If you know what's right, and you do…" M'gann instructed. "…Then you'll know that you and Ahsoka are the perfect couple." Aqualad finished up on his end. "You and Lux are perfect with each other!" Artemis exclaimed encouragingly to the Togrutan.
Ahsoka chuckled and stood up. "Thanks for the enthusiasm, girls." M'gann thanked the two. "I guess I can try to work something out with Ahsoka." Lux replied to Aqualad. The three teens smiled at their respective locations of the Cave, and soon turned aside to give a wink and a 'thumbs-up'. Ahsoka looked to M'gann and Artemis in confusion. "Who are you looking to?" Ahsoka asked curiously. Artemis and M'gann just mumbled and shrugged. Lux looked to Aqualad and gave a slight scoff. "What are you doing?" he asked. Aqualad shrugged. "I honestly have no idea whatsoever." Aqualad honestly responded.
New York City 1156 hours
Cad Bane stood on top of the Empire State Building. He looked all around at the Big Apple and scoffed. "I've seen dumps bigger than this place." The Bounty Hunter retorted. He kneeled down next to a gargoyle and activated a holo-transmitter. "This is Cad Bane reporting in, Count Dooku." Bane reported. The Sith Lord looked at Cad with a dry look on his face. "How goes the hunt?" Dooku asked sinisterly. Cad Bane scoffed and looked around. "There's nothing very impressive about this backwater rock, but it's definitely a place to find Bonteri and Tano." The Bounty Hunter stated. Dooku sent a glare to the Bounty Hunter once again. "What is your current status?" the Sith Lord asked. Bane smirked. "I managed to track the Senator here and I was also able to place a tracker on him so that I wouldn't lose him." Bane reported. Dooku nodded at this. "Excellent work, Bounty Hunter." Count Dooku replied. Bane grinned angrily. "I still expect my payment, Count. I don't come cheap!" Bane retorted. Dooku nodded. "When the task is complete, you will receive your reward. Lux Bonteri is a traitor to the Separatist cause, and Ahsoka Tano will be a worthy hostage to hold in order to maintain our victory in the war." Dooku stated. "I expect results." Dooku concluded, hanging up on the message. Cad Bane placed the holo-transmitter back into his belt and looked around. "I make results!" Bane exclaimed loudly before flying off into the rest of the city.
Mount Justice 1200 hours
Later on, Batman called the Team together for a new mission. After five minutes of preparation, the Team was all ready for the task and waiting for Batman to give them their assignment. "Team, you and the Justice League are to perform this mission together." The Dark Knight explained. The Team's eyes widened with surprise as Robin stepped up. "Is there another crisis that requires the Team and the League to team up?" the Boy Wonder asked. To their chagrin, Batman nodded no. "In New York City, the United Nations is being gathered for an official conference. We are needed there, and with the silent activity of the Light and the League of Shadows, you are required to guard the city." Batman explained. Lux looked over to the rest of the Team. Ahsoka looked as well. "What's this United Nations about?" they both asked simultaneously. Robin sighed as he brought up several images on his hologlove. "Every world leader is involved. They decide what to do in political matters." The Boy Wonder explained. Lux and Ahsoka both nodded in understanding.
Batman nodded at this and went on. "Considering the fact that there are now ten members of the Team, you will be placed in groups of two." The Dark Knight stated. The Team nodded as Robin and Zatanna were assigned to guard the Museum of Natural History, Aqualad and Rocket were to form their post at the Brooklyn Bridge, Artemis and Kid Flash were tasked at keeping post at Central Park, and Superboy and Miss Martian were ordered to guard the outside of the United Nations building. Ahsoka and Rebel were to watch over from the Empire State Building. With that being assigned, the Team and Batman left to New York City.
Coruscant, Republic Holding Facility…
Barriss meditated in her cell as she was being watched under heavy guard by Clone Troopers. "She's not going anywhere, Captain." Gregor reported to Captain Rex. The Clone Commander craned his neck and nodded in approval. "Very good work, Gregor. I'll be on post at the Jedi Temple." Rex stated, taking a Gunship back to the Temple. As soon as he left, Gregor looked back to the pother Clones. "Keep it together, men!" Gregor commanded.
Just then, the three Clone Troopers looked to the hallways, as they could see a bright light emitting, followed by some screaming. Gregor gave a command, and the three Clones cocked their blasters to kill. At that moment, Sylas came out and unsheathed his gun to shoot down the three troopers. "Stand down, soldiers. That's an order." Sylas quipped as he reached to grab Barriss' lightsabers and mask. "Let's go get Miss Offee." Sylas said to himself before departing to Barriss' cell.
Earth-16, New York City 1216 hours
Ahsoka and Lux watched the meeting with the Justice League and the United Nations met at the World Conference building. "I wonder what they're talking about." Ahsoka pondered out loud. "The UN is discussing the matter of Justice League affairs in political and criminal situations. It's a very important matter." Robin replied through the psychic link. Ahsoka nodded at this and looked to Lux. Lux looked to her as well and the two took a deep breath. "I'm sorry!" they both yelled. Ahsoka and Lux both gasped. "Huh?" they both asked again at the same time. At that moment, both lovebirds started to laugh. "I'm sorry for ever refusing to adjust to the new way of battle." Lux admitted. Ahsoka chuckled and sighed. "No, I should be sorry. I forgot how much you like to act on your own." Ahsoka remarked. The two shared a good laugh as they continued to watch the meeting occur.
Not far from the Team, Cad Bane and Todo-360 stood on top of the United Nations Conference building, both out of sight from anyone. "Cad Bane, I believe that now may be the time for our call to action." Todo stated. Cad Bane chuckled. "I couldn't have said it better myself." He quipped. With that, he lifted up his left arm and pressed a button. "Let the sparks fly as I kill those birds with one stone." The Bounty Hunter remarked.
At Central Park, Artemis and Kid Flash endlessly watched around for any sight of Shadow activity. "I can't see anything so far." Wally stated. Artemis wasn't listening, as she placed a hand up. "Shush!" she whispered to the speedster. Wally walked over and raised an eyebrow. "What is it, Artemis?" Wally asked in confusion. Artemis raised an arm and continued to listen. There was a loud and rapid beeping sounding off behind the two. Artemis' eyes widened with shock. "Get down!" she yelled. At that moment, a bomb went off and destroyed the main fountain. Artemis and Wally were caught in the blast radius and were thrown to the ground. As soon as Kid Flash got up, he gasped at the sight of a fallen Artemis. He immediately rushed to her aid. "Are you alright?" he asked anxiously. Artemis rubbed her head and nodded. "Guys, someone planted some bombs in the area." Artemis informed the rest of the Team via psychic link.
Meanwhile, the Justice League was in the Conference Room talking with the world's representatives. "We understand how you assume the Justice League is invading private policies, but rest assured this is all necessary." Superman stated. Prime Minister Tseng let out a slight scoff. "It seems that everything is necessary for you." He remarked. Batman was about to step up until everyone heard a loud explosion. "What was that?!" Wonder Woman asked dumbfounded. Superman sat up and used his X-Ray vision to see what was going on. "Bombs are being set off! We need to contain the situation!" the Man of Steel exclaimed. The rest of the Justice League members present at the moment nodded and followed Superman to the city. Before Batman could follow, he stopped to hear something. Someone's on the roof. He deducted to himself. With that, he left off on his own.
Ahsoka and Lux watched the bombs go off with deep shock. "I know those explosions anywhere!" Ahsoka exclaimed. Lux nodded. Behind the two was Cad Bane, readying his blaster pistols. "This is almost too easy." He stated to himself as he could only see the Togrutan and Jedi looking out to the city. After about two minutes had passed, Bane opened fire on them. At that moment, Ahsoka and Rebel turned around and deflected the shots. "Cad Bane, I should've known!" Ahsoka retorted. Bane tipped his hat and smirked. "Hello, Ex-Jedi. We still have some unfinished business." Cad Bane retorted. Lux unsheathed a pistol and pointed it to the Bounty Hunter. "What do you want, Bounty Hunter?" Rebel asked angrily. Bane chuckled and tapped his pistol. "The Separatists have placed a large bounty on both of your heads. A reward of sixteen-dozen credits goes for both the Separatist turncoat and the Wrong Jedi." Cad Bane explained.
Ahsoka and Rebel looked to each other with much confusion and worriment. At that moment, Bane opened fire upon the two. Ahsoka got in front of Lux to deflect every shot. "Bane's got us outmatched! We need to retreat!" Ahsoka yelled. "I'm way ahead of you!" Rebel replied loudly. Lux threw down a smoke grenade as a blanket of smoke emerged. Cad Bane swept his arm aside and saw that the two were gone. "You can't hide from me!" Bane quipped, looking to his tracking device. There were two red dots blinking on his screen as they both headed towards one of the nearby warehouses. "That was a tactical error." Bane quipped once again. With that, he flew off in their direction.
Coruscant, Republic Holding Facility…
Back at the Coruscant Holding Facility, Barriss continued to meditate in her cell angrily. Two of the Clone Troopers guarding her cell looked around after hearing a noise. "What was that?!" Wagner asked. Just then, his body started to set on fire as the other Clone started to quiver in fear. Barriss opened her eyes and gasped. The two Clones guarding her cell were martyred before her very eyes! Just then, a mysterious man with scars on his face entered the cell, without a key card! Barriss held her ground as Sylas walked towards her. "Barriss Offee, Zealous Dark Jedi. Am I correct?" Sylas asked. Barriss stood confused as she continued to stand ready to fight. "I am Sylas, and I'm here to offer you the ultimate freedom." Sylas offered. Barriss raised an eyebrow until she noticed that this 'Sylas' had her weaponry. Sylas looked down and took notice of this. "You want these, don't you?" he asked. Barriss nervously but bravely shook her head no. Sylas smirked at this. "I can feel your anger, Barriss. The Jedi Order betrayed you, but I can offer you a way to improve the ways of society. You just have to join me." Sylas stated. Barriss listened to this and lessened herself up a bit. "I'll join you." She remarked sinisterly. Sylas smiled. "I thought so. Welcome to ORDER." He remarked. Sylas then extended a hand, in which Barriss took and shook.
Earth-16, New York City 1234 hours
Ahsoka and Rebel ran into the warehouse and deactivated their lightsabers as they waited for Cad Bane to follow. As soon as the Bounty Hunter entered the room, Ahsoka and Rebel stood ready to fight. Cad Bane chuckled. "It looks like you're out of ideas, my bounties." Cad Bane quipped. Ahsoka chuckled. "We'll see about that." Both she and Rebel quipped back. Cad Bane raised an eyebrow under his hat. "What does that mean?" he asked with interest. At that moment, the lights flickered on. The Bounty Hunter gaped around as he saw the Team waiting for him. One light by one, the Team started to reveal each other to the foreign Bounty Hunter.
"You feeling lucky, dude?" Robin asked snippily. Cad Bane just scoffed nervously. "To tell the truth, I'm whelmed. I'm not overwhelmed, underwhelmed, I'm just whelmed." Bane admitted. Robin started to stare him down. "You're going to feel more than just–" Robin started out, but then stopped as his eyes widened. "He said 'whelmed'! HE JUST SAID 'WHELMED'!" the Boy Wonder exclaimed excitedly. The Team all groaned in exasperation as Robin started to laugh wildly. "Finally! There's someone who feels just whelmed!" Robin exclaimed. The Team started to joke around with each other silently at Robin's antics as Lux went to Ahsoka and whispered into her ear. "Is he always like this?" Rebel asked curiously. Ahsoka just shrugged as she raised her eyebrows.
Cad Bane suddenly chuckled and lifted up his blaster rifles. "Say goodbye, Sleemos!" Cad Bane remarked in the Huttese tongue. Before he could throw or shoot anything, a batarang hit his guns and caused him to shoot to the ceiling. Batman leapt down from his place and glared deeply at the Bounty Hunter. "You must be Batman. I'm cited." Bane remarked sarcastically. The Dark Knight ignored this and looked Bane into the eyes. "Who and what are you, and why are you here?" Batman simply asked. Cad chuckled and tipped his pistol back and forth in his hand. "The name's Bane, Cad Bane. My rank is a Bounty Hunter and I've been hired by the most powerful organization, the Separatists, to capture Mr. Lux Bonteri and Miss Ahsoka Tano. They have a price on their heads, sixteen-dozen pounds of gold, credits if you will." Cad Bane explained. The Team sent angry glares to the Bounty Hunter. "Price on their heads or not, you will not take Ahsoka or Lux!" Zatanna proclaimed.
Cad Bane chucked. "I was hoping you'd say that." He quipped. At that moment, he shot at the Team with his revolving blasters. The Team ducked, but Batman just used his cape to shield himself. Bane noticed this as Batman suddenly threw some batarangs at him. Bane responded to this by throwing his own hat at the Dark Knight's batarangs. Superboy charged in to attack at that moment. Cad Bane started to dodge every punch and kick the Boy of Steel attempted to make. When Superboy started to tire out, Cad Bane punched him in the face. Zatanna and Rocket flew in then to attack, but what they weren't expecting was the blast of his sonic cannon. "Who else is next?" Cad Bane quipped. Just then, Artemis shot an arrow at the Bounty Hunter, and the two engaged in a gunfight. Artemis and Bane both strafed each other from the higher levels and the ground level. Artemis unsheathed an explosive arrow and shot it. "Sucker burn!" she yelled as she shot the arrow. Before the arrow could reach Bane, he twirled into the air, caught the arrow and then threw it back. Artemis gasped at this and jumped off. She was safe, only until Todo slammed himself into her. She fell to the ground with a grunt as Kid Flash went in to attack. "Leave her alone!" he yelled. Bane placed up some binoculars to track the speedster. At just the right time, Cad Bane swung his pistol to his far left, knocking Wally out cold. Aqualad charged in to attack, but Cad Bane used his flamethrower gauntlets to keep him away. Kaldur'ahm screamed in pain as his Water-Bearers flew out of his hands. Artemis woke up just in time and caught the hilts.
Batman jumped around the area to avoid every one of Bane's flame attacks. "You can't hide from me forever, Dark Knight!" Cad Bane yelled. Robin then attacked from the ceiling with a taser cord while Rebel shot another. Ahsoka shot her own shock grenade while Miss Martian levitated him into the air. "What's going on?!" Cad Bane yelled with shock. Finally, Zatanna awoke and pointed her wand at him, while Rocket flew up with Batman. Artemis then shot some water with the borrowed Water-Bearers at Cad Bane, soaking him wet. The Team then used their electrifiers to shock Cad Bane, causing him to scream in pain. Batman and Rocket then glided down from their placed and landed a double-punch at the Bounty Hunter, knocking him out cold. The Team rejoiced happily at their victory.
Later on, Batman and the rest of the Justice League watched as Cad Bane was being taken away. "What about my payment?!" Bane yelled out. No one answered as Bane was placed into a truck and taken away to Belle Reve. Batman looked to the rest of the Justice League. "If I had gotten some answers from him, then I would've known more about that Cad Bane." The Dark Knight complained deadpan. Dinah walked up to Bruce and placed her hand on his shoulder. "It would have been better if he was just taken away. Sometimes, your ways against the criminals never works out." Dinah explained. Batman grinned slightly as the Team watched both scenes occur.
Ahsoka and Rebel looked to each other happily. "I'm so sorry for earlier." Ahsoka said. Lux smiled. "I guess we're both sorry then." He stated. At that moment, Lux grabbed Ahsoka's head and kissed her on the lips, gaining some 'oohs' and 'ahs' from the Team. "I like them as a couple already." Rocket exclaimed. Aqualad nodded. "Lux will make an excellent addition to the Team." The Atlantean stated. The rest of the day was just spent with joy and wonder.
Belle Reve 1916 hours
Cad Bane remained in the truck as he complained to himself angrily. "This is such a disgrace! Not only did I not get my reward, but now I'm stuck on a backwater prison!" he retorted disgracefully. Just then, the doors swung open. "Cad Bane, you're free to leave with us." A man said. Cad Bane looked up and saw a man with scars smiling sinisterly at him, and a girl with curved-hilted lightsabers as well as a yellow Mercenary Mask. "Who are you?" Bane asked skeptically.
Sylas ignored this and looked to a man with a scar across his eyes and a gun on his back. "Striker, see to his weapons." Sylas ordered. "Mr. Bane has BlasTech LL-38 pistols, weapons passed down from Jango Fett. There is also a Mitrinomon Jetpack with built-in thrusters. Cad Bane is definitely the man to be called the right Bounty Hunter for any job." Striker informed Sylas. Cad Bane's eyes widened with awe. "Who are you?" he asked once again. Sylas chuckled. "I am Sylas. But to better answer your question, we are ORDER." Sylas replied. "I'm here to offer you a chance of a lifetime. It involves maximum wage, heavy hitting, and someone of your caliber." Sylas explained. Cad Bane Kubrick-glared at the headman with a Slasher Smile. "I'm in." He stated. Sylas chuckled and looked to Barriss. She quickly unveiled her helmet as she had a grin on her face. "Humanity has no idea what it's in for." She remarked. The three laughed away into the night, knowing full well that the ORDER would be known as the greatest organization of universal history.
