Valerie and Ethan were standing in the waiting room dressed in their disguises. Valerie was wearing a nurse's uniform and Ethan was wearing scrubs.Ethan shook his head. “This is ridiculous,” he remarked. “It's the perfect way to get you out back without the reporters seeing you two and swarming over you like bees that just found honey,” Natasha said. “Is the car ready?” Keith asked. Natasha nodded. They all made their way out. Keith was the only one that was supposed to come out through the front, to distract the reporters. He wouldn't answer any of their questions but only deflect them to the legion commander. Keith stepped out through the front and just as anticipated, all the mics and camera instantly pointed his way. They didn't even give him time to fully step through the door before they started bombarding him with questions. “Is it true that the legion commander has been rescued?” “Is it true that there was an air raid?”“There's rumors that some dreadlands soldiers we

Ethan was standing before a mirror, adjusting his neck tie. Valerie walked up to him and stood on her toes to plant a soft kiss on his cheeks. “You look amazing.”“Thank you,” he responded. Natasha barged into the room, unintentionally disrupting their moment. “The car is ready downstairs, we should get moving,” she said, holding her tablet out.Ethan wanted Valerie to stay back, and Natasha even supported this idea, because if Valerie was there, the media would try to rip her to shreds. With another stolen kiss, Ethan made his way out and into the car that was waiting for him downstairs. He was wearing a sleek charcoal suit which had hand drawn patterns. The suit accentuated his features and he looked dashing, Which was exactly how he needed to look if he was going to win back public affection. The car drove off to the conference center where he was going to be having the press conference. When he got there they were already a bunch of reporters seated waiting impatiently for hi

Ethan had insisted that Valerie stay back at home while he visited the community alone, but she was too paranoid to let him go alone; she wanted to be by his side. “If you're worried that something is going to happen again, the rest are sure that I've increased security so you have nothing to worry about. Plus even if something did happen, I'd rather you were far away from the vicinity.”“I know nothing is going to happen because of stricter security measures which you took, I just want to be there with you, by your side. Besides, I don't really have anything to do at home.”Ethan realized that he could no longer argue with her so he just decided to let it go. “Fine, you can come,” he said.They made their way out of the house and into the car that was waiting downstairs to take them to the rural community. As the legion commander he couldn't have his image be tarnished like this, he had to get to the bottom of things.The driver ignited the engines and began to drive them towards t

Valerie and Ethan jumped on their feet upon hearing what the little boy was saying. Timothy also got up with a worried expression on his face. “Oh no, my daughter!”The moment they stepped out of the house, they could hear the commotion coming from a distance and quickly began making their way there. Police sirens filled the air as officers came out of their cars holding shields and hoses to wash down anyone who dared to protest in front of the Roger corps property. The locals however were not deterred, they were fighting for their rights and nothing would make them back down. Some police officers were manhandling the protesters and even throwing canisters of tear gas. “That's enough!” Ethan's voice boomed from the background. His voice was thick and carrying authority. All the activities paused, even the protesters seized their chanting and the cops stood still. Everyone held their breath as Ethan's eyes scanned through the scenery. “What's going on here?” One of the officers

Ethan stood there unfazed as the car sped towards him, everyone watched it with wide eyes. The tyres screeched and the smell of burning rubber filled the air. The car came to a harsh stop just a few inches away from Ethan. It had tinted glasses and everybody began to wonder who had such audacity to try to almost run over the legion commander. A man came down from the car, it was Mr Vincent Rogers. Vincent removed his glasses and looked at Ethan. “Good day to you legion commander,” he greeted, his voice carrying some sarcasm. “Do you care to explain why you're driving on the streets like a teenager who just got his first car?”Vincent clenched his jaw, the vein on his head throbbing as he became vexed. “Only if you explain why you're stopping the police from doing their job and getting these protesters out of my factory so that production can continue.”Ethan turned his head and looked around. “I don't see anybody inside your factory, or do you own the streets now?”“Don't pretend
