I was sitting in a booth eating a burger and fries waiting for Junior and his men to finish packing up  their supplies so they could move to the archives.

As I finished eating my food I felt something tap my shoulder I looked over and saw the malachite twins.

"Ladies." I greeted.

"Who are you?" Militia asked.

"I'm just a simple man making my way through the universe." I said.

"We doubt it." Melanie said. "Considering you were able to walk into the bar and in a singular minute made Junior make us pack up to leave to somewhere he hasn't even told us about yet."

I immediately went on guard. This was an interrogation.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"We want to know what you told Junior." They said in unison.

"Children. No matter what they have no trust." I scoffed.

"What did you say?" Melanie asked.

"You heard me. You don't have faith in your leaders. I remember a certain team of four girls who never trusted anyone. Not even their own family. You met one of them. Her name is Yang." I said.

"The yellow girl?" Militia asked.

"Yep." I responded. "One of my apprentices kicked her ass along with the rest of her team."

"Wait a minute...one?" Melanie asked with fear in her voice.

"Yes his name is Whitley. You may know him." I said.

"Isn't he the one who works with Roman and Neo?" Militia asked.

"Indeed. Another one is named Adam Taurus." I said.

"Oh crap." They said in unison.

"Indeed." I said. I then saw Junior walking over. "We ready?" I asked.

"Yeah. Can you make another portal?" He asked.

"Of course." I said as I got up and made a giant portal.

"WE'RE MOVING OUT!" Junior yelled to his men and they began to walk through with the things they were taking.

I looked at the twins. "What are you waiting for? Go." I said and they walked through.

When everyone went through I walked through as well and closed the portal behind me.

I smiled.

"Welcome to the grand archives.  Feel free to roam the grounds and read the books but do not attempt to steal anything or your life is forfeit." I said as I opened the gate and we entered the main courtyard and I led them to the main hall. "Set up however you like. I am going to head to my study. Have fun." I said as I walked away.

As I walked through the halls I passed Whitley.

"How'd it go?" He asked.

"We now have a much larger force working with us. So I'd say it went well." I said with a wry grin.

Whitley smiled. "That is good." He said.

"Any news from Neo and Roman?" I asked.

Whitley's smile dropped. "Unfortunately no. I haven't heard anything. Do you think they-"

"No apprentice Roman Torchwick does not run from his problems. And Neo is loyal to him to a fault." I assured Whitley. "We will see them again. At phase 2."
