As the situation went out of control tried to intervene, but the commander stepped forward. The gun pressed against his temple.

"Shoot, Arjun" The commander challenged.

"DO NOT PROVOKE ME." Arjun's eyes sizzled with anger.

"You cannot shoot and we both know that." The commander shook his head. "Three months Arjun, we waited so long. Can't we wait for a few more months?"

"We can't, I can't," Arjun shook his head.

"What changed?"

"That is none of your business. I need the truth."

"I cannot tell you, Arjun." The commander gently lowered the gun. "If I were at liberty to disclose the truth, I would have done that long ago. This is not a game for me. I have no interest in becoming the commander."

"And yet you took Bhaiya's identity?" Arjun accused. "You knew the legacy that the Dark Phoenix left behind, and yet you picked up the mask so callously? If you are not in it for the fame. Why are you here?"

"The mask is not a legacy, it is a responsibility." The commander shook his head. "I did not take up anyone's identity. I am doing my job, so are you. Keep emotions out of it. The mask does not belong to a person, the person belongs to the mask. That is the first rule of team Phoenix. I am sure your trainer taught you that."

Arjun raised his fist to punch, but Karan blocked his way and pushed him back. "That is enough, Arjun. Get a grip on your emotions. You know the deal. Once Lucifer is caught, the government will release the information. It is not on the commander, if you want to question someone, go and question the honorable Prime Minister. The commander is not a free man Arjun, neither are you. We took an oath to be loyal to each other and the country. We promised to keep the country before our emotions...."
