Law School Crossover Hidden Identity FanFiction Series

Chapter One

            This wasn't a drill. Deep in the dark forest somewhere between the North Korean border inside the interior of the Taebak Mountains, Marine Spartan Corporal Han Joon Hwi, followed, third in  line, behind his superiors, dressed in camo and heavy gear. Silently, he crept along towards a potential hidden North Korean bunker just under South Korean territory. It wasn't potentially there. He knew it was....he'd seen it with his mind's eye. Three days away from behind discharged, his mind split and scattered recalling what had led him to be included in this dangerous mission so close being free of his mandatory service.

Just days ago, Joon Hwi sat in a sound proof briefing room where Top Military Brass surrounded him. American and Korean Military men stared at him from opposite corners of the room. His face had thinned and darkened in appearance from a year and a half of training outdoors in the blistering sun and bitter snow. Along with his short buzzed cut, he was looking more like a roughneck, country pumpkin police officer than an elite prosecutor. He sighed. Joon Hwi knew what was coming.

A file slapped onto the table in front of him. "Just one more time," General Kim smiled, sternly. "This one isn't for fun. This time, it isn't a test. This one is for real, Corporal." Joon Hwi looked up at the man and glanced around the room before his eyes settled on the manila folder.

Joon Hwi's hands clinched underneath the desk. His mother's words carried over into his ear from a distant memory-- It's just one more time. Just once more. His Uncle took him away and raised him after she allowed an abusive man to exploit his beautiful gift. There was a part of him who yearned to be reunited with her. That part of him thought if his gift received attention, she'd be alerted and find him. It was a childish thought. But it fed his impulsive side.  

During the first weeks into his training as a Special Forces Spartan, the ROK Military had his unit go through an exercise where they were only able to use their intuition to find their Staff Sergeant in an undisclosed location. They promoted it as a new kind of skill only a Spartan should possess. After years of hiding it, that childish part...his hubris got the best of him wanting to shock his superiors as he did in Law School with his brilliant mind. Without moving an inch, he located the Staff Sergeant within minutes, and laughed it off. "Everyone who knows idiosyncrasies about a person can narrow down the places he'd hide. Fifteen meters up in a tree to the east of the parking lot ...because everyone would think to go deeper into the forest. He's the type that'd do the opposite."

Yet when Joon Hwi located a target assailant during a competitive training exercise deep under flattened snow pack during a blizzard, he could no longer laugh it off. No one knew the person, nor was aware of an enclosed, underground space in the field. Joon Hwi's unit loved him and praised him as his law school classmates used to. He was frightfully accurate. In no time, he was removed from his unit for a week, put through a series of neurological tests, scans and EEGs by American medical staff. He quickly downplayed his ability and attempted to feign ignorance.

"Everyone can do this."

Remote viewing. A psychic spy is what the Americans called it. The Americans even had an operation name for a group of psychic spies called Project Star Gate they started in the 1970s. Russians had their own, too. They were even able to have a psychic spy choke Stalin, remotely. They were sure Joon Hwi could do it, too. 

"You believe the Russians? Nobody can do those kinds of things," Joon Hwi swore. "They're complete frauds if they say they can!" 

General Kim didn't believe Joon Hwi. The ROK Military wanted to start their own psychic spy operation, and Joon Hwi was their man. After being hospitalized and left alone in an isolation cell for a week, Joon Hwi succumbed to his superior's requests. At best, he thought maybe he'd gain a good reputation for being a capable prosecutor and crime investigator while he was serving his country. Being allowed to use this ability, he could possibly find criminals, and capture them for prosecution more easily. He'd maybe find his mother and find out everything he wanted to know about the man he called, Uncle. He never wanted the attention of Generals and American Commanding Officers, but he received it.
