Fan Fiction ❯ The Act of Shadows (Part 1) ❯ Epilogue

Stockholm, Sweden: 24 hours since the incident.

The General looked off into the sunset by his table, A glass of wine in his hand.

"Whats the matter Mikhail? You look depressed."

"I just learned that we lost our best agent, Dimitri. He was like a son to me." said the General.

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"That's okay Mr. Wayne, keep the apologies to yourself."

Bruce sat down with Mikhail, pouring himself a glass of wine.

"What happened?"

"Some villian manipulated him by impersonating me, he thought I was giving him those orders to kill her. I would never say such a terrible thing"

He sipped his wine, "He found Agent Raven, We all thought she was dead."

"I see." said Bruce, recognizing the name.

"He always kept an eye out for her back at the Agency. I told only him about what happened to her as an infant. No other agent, not even she knew."

"It was sad when she left that day, Dimitri just couldn't handle it. He didn't take a mission for about a month afterwards. I guess the only thing that kept him going was that he thought that wherever Katrina was she was happy." Mikhail sipped his wine glass again.

Bruce looked at him, "I know how it is to lose a loved one"

"But there was something that even he, Mishkin, or the W.S.S. didn't know"

"Really? what"

"We pulled two kids out of that church during that standoff, one girl about 2 months old and a boy at about 1 and a half years,"

Bruce looked surprised. "Really?"

"I named the girl, Katrina, after my wife,"

"And the other one." said Bruce

"I named him after my grandfather, Dimitri Krad."

"Are you saying...?"

Mikhail took a big gulp from his glass.

"Yes....They were brother and sister. Both of them were offsprings of a mad man. Dimitri didn't even know it, He died not knowing it."

"He should've known the truth. I should've told him, both of them." Mikhail said with anger toward himself.

Bruce patted Mikhail on his shoulder, "I'm pretty sure he knows now. Wherever he is.

Mikhail looked up at Bruce and smiled. "You're right Bruce, you're right."

"I guess the World Security Syndicate has a new martyr to look up to."

W.S. S. Headquarters.

David sat at his station as they held a moment of silence in the facility. The only person in the room with him was Leon, who sobbed uncontrollably.

"May he rest in heavenly peace." The General spoke over the intercom.

David sat there, looking at his computer screen. Across the room they were laying flowers at the door of his room.

"It's all my fault. I should have warned him sooner, he would be alive today if I warned him sooner."

David suddenly jumped up and swept his computer setup off of his desk and beat on the desk with the keyboard in a fit of rage.

Suddenly something activated on the computer. David grabed the cracked moniter and set it up:

DISTRESS BEACON ACTIVATED,

It started to show a map at the city. The Distress Beacon was coming from the coastline.

Leon looked at it, "What does that mean?"

David looked back at Leon, the biggest smile on his face "Go get the General!"
