Miami, FL

6pm

It was evening when a private jet landed in Opa-Locka. The side opened, and Natalie was wheeled out on a stretcher into another SUV. The other Elites followed and climbed in. The SUV then headed back into the city. "So the CIA is currently working around the clock to get the paperwork done, but I was given clearance to go ahead and get you all settled in." Mr. Francisco said. "I don't understand. My parents were gonna come up and visit once they could. Why are you bringing us back to Miami?" Jay asked. "Francisco said "It was best to avoid the publicity, not to mention we may have found a way to let you resume your work. We have enough evidence to lock Pirce up for a very long time once we find hi,. Because of this, your name is clear. So we've been allowed to transfer your assets over to the CIA. You'll be allowed to operate under our supervision if I get the approval. Until then, you guys need to worry about your friend." Seconds later, the truck pulled into a gated area. It was grassy, with small ponds. In the center of the area, there was a large building, about three stories tall. "What is this place?" Robert asked. "This." Francisco started "Is Elites Base I. Your new home." The building had an extremely modern design, with a massive window that curved along the top floors. The SUV drove across the bridge, and pulled up in front. Mr. Francisco spoke "You all will get to decide among yourselves what each part of the building becomes. Because of your actions today you'll be receiving a car of your choice as a reward for your actions once you receive a license. Since Nicole is already 16, she gets to choose first." Nicole then said "Centenario." Francisco replied "That is way outside our price range. We can't afford a two-million dollar car like that." Nic then decided "Acura NSX then." Francisco replied "That however can be arranged." Jayson then said "BMW i8" "Your birthday isn't until October so we'll put that down." Robert then said "I'm gonna have to go for a Challenger Hellcat. Custom black and gray paint." Francisco said "That can be arranged you'll get it in June." "But what about Natalie?" Jayson asked. Francisco then said "Her birthday isn't until July but we can put a request in once it's time." Nicole interrupted and said "AMG GT-S. That's what she wants." "Like a Mercedes?" Francisco asked. "No a Mansory. It's a special bodykit for the car." Nic replied excitedly. "She's been gawking over that car for months now." Francisco then said "We'll see what we can arrange for her."

The Elites went inside the mansion-like building, while wheeling Natalie in a wheelchair. As soon as they walked in, all three floors were visible. "This is beautiful!" Rob yelled. His voice echoed through the entire building. "This is the Atrium. In this building is likely where you'll spend most of your time training, cooking, and checking for missions. One of your classic jets is parked in the hangar in the back." Francis said. On the top floor, led the Elites to a glass walkway. The path led directly into another building, which had shelves and shelves of books, and computers all along the first floor and the balcony they stood on. "This here is the Library. You all will still be required to continue all online courses, but will have a little more freedom." The Elites continued along the balcony into a third building, and the path split, with rooms down each. "I'm gonna take a guess and say these are the bedrooms." Jayson said. "Yes." Francisco replied "Guys on the left, girls to the right, they can be customized however you want."

After a while the tour ended and the Elites were back outside. As Francisco stepped back into the SUV, he said "You Elites will be operating under the supervision of the CIA. You all have clearance to investigate anything IATO or Endgame related. But if anything else happens, notify us. The public isn't ready to know that you're still around." Nicole then said "We won't let you down sir. Thank you." With a nod, Francisco climbed up into the SUV and drove off.

Everyone sat inside of Natalie's room, and sat around her bed. "So what now?" Robert asked. "Now, we pick up the pieces of IATO, and take down whatever is left. But from now on, we do things our way. No more killing. No more sabotage. Now we finish what we started." Jay said. He turned to Nicole and said "You'll be in charge of identifying the other Elites. We have to get them together and unite them under a common cause. Forming a global coalition can be our first step in taking down IATO for good." "I can do that." Nic replied. Rob interrupted and said "You know. For a group that focused on ending terrorism, IATO really didn't do a good job at it. They're gonna need a better name. How about Endgame?" "Sinister, intimidating, and cool sounding? I like it." Nic said. "So it's settled. We have the resources, let's put them to good use." The Elites then sat around, settled in, and prepared for the future. This was the start of a new Elites team.
