Stella woke up the next day and did her normal routine. Brushing her teeth, going for a small training exercise, then showering and eating. She looked at her phone and noticed the amount of missed messages and calls from Cerim.
She read through the messages and sat down her her sofa. After a minute of thought, she contacted Vi.
After settling some changes with Vi, Stella messaged Cerim back and got a reply quite quickly.
'Mou is currently abroad. Just lay low for a couple of days until your identity is created." Cerim responded.
Stella put her phone to the side and went to get some watermelon from her fridge. She took some and decided that she would need to stock up soon...
Stella lazed around until lunchtime. When she got a call from Di.
"Mmm?" Stella questioned as she took a bite of her watermelon.
"The new trainees have all finished their starting courses Miss. Hill wanted you to have a look at their performances at the base." Di spoke respectfully.
Stella was quiet for a few seconds. After her thoughts, Stella smiled. "I'll be there in an hour. Make sure Hill is around, I need him for something." Stella ended the call and stood up. Ready to change out of just a dressing gown...
...............
"Identification required." A robotic voice spoke as Stella walked up to a concrete wall.
Stella placed her hand at a certain spot on the concrete wall. Then stared straight at a small crack inside the wall.
After ten seconds the inconspicuous concrete wall had a blue flash coming from the crack. Stella took a slight step back as the door opened for her...
Stella's base in Country T was located at the back of a nightclub. Since it was often a forgettable area and no one would suspect that a concrete wall actually housed the largest underground facility in the country, it was good placement.
Stella walked into the dark staircase leading downward. After a few steps, the concrete wall closed, and lights came on.
Stella walked into the main hallway of her base. There were a few people around. She recognized most of them for being team members under Hill, but they didn't pay any attention to her. Not knowing that the woman wearing a bright pink jumper with jogging bottoms was their big boss...
Stella went into her secret elevator and went down into the training room. She yawned a few times along the way as she munched down an ice cream she picked up along the way.
The elevator opened and Stella was met with Di and Hill waiting for her in the watch room for the training room.
"Miss." Di immediately knelt down on her knee upon seeing Stella.
Hill meanwhile. Felt his eyebrows twitch at the sight of Stella. "Miss... You need to express your beauty more. Your perfect body should be complimented with perfect clothing." Hill was beginning to go on a rampage before he was met with Stella's deathly glare.
*Cough* "I mean that Miss is so good looking that she doesn't need clothing to help her." Hill retracted his statement, as his new one was perfectly true...
"How do they shape up?" Stella ignored Hill and walked over to the large glass window.
Obviously, the glass inside the training room was one way. Only Stella and her elite squad knew that it existed. It was used to monitor squads while also giving them an excuse to be a little creepy...
Di pulled out a sheet of paper and passed it over to Stella on the table in front of her. "This batch is extremely talented in deception..." Di said, but she already knew that Stella had that knowledge.
Stella took a look at the paper. On it was 5 people with their picture and name. Along with some scores out of a hundred for certain aspects. Along with Di's personal thoughts on their current and potential skills.
Stella smiled when she saw the scores of some certain people...
"Put these two under Blair. They have the potential for being able to manage the businesses." Stella tapped on two familiar names...
Big M and Miss Fia were the two people Stella pointed at, Di nodded in acknowledgment as she moved her attention over to the other people.
"Put Amy under Vi, it would be ideal for her to become an assassin. Make sure she has the specialist training she needs." Stella spoke about the actress like she was nothing but a baby...
"About these two... Hill you can have them." Stella concluded as she memorized their strengths and weaknesses on the paper.
She then raised her gaze to look inside the training room. Right now only Amy and another were in the room...
Alex Woodwere, Stella watched as he took a stance like a professional boxer. He hit consecutive punches on Amy who was dodging his attacks with ease.
"Come on, You would have been killed by now if I was Di." Amy taunted, but she knew it was a true fact...
Amy's body gained some muscle as she went through this training for around a month now. She struggled at first but the hard training was met with advice from Di. Who always knew the best way for her to improve the way she fought.
Alex grunted with annoyance. As he sped up, trying to break down Amy's defense...
"I think he needs to learn something new... Being a boxer is cool and all. But it won't land a crucial ending hit." Hill commented as he watched on, he might have a harder task than he thought with this guy...
Eventually, Alex started to slow down. Sure enough, he ran out of stamina. While he was trying to catch his breath. Amy was still pretty relaxed.
"Mmm, she has advanced quickly." Stella commented, for someone who couldn't put up a fight, she gained her skills at a frightening pace.
Di nodded. "She is the most talented of the bunch. Also including her acting skills, she would be terrifying under Vi." Di commented, Vi specialized in assassinations. And Amy was perfectly built to compliment her team...
Stella kept her gaze on Amy. Amy had slimmed down slightly and gained some muscle... Stella lightly shook her head. 'I must be going crazy.' She immediately thought, there was no way someone like her could have those thoughts...
"Hill, for what I asked." Stella then moved on to the next topic.
Hill raised his eyebrows questionably, he wondered what his Miss would want to wear from now on...
"Make a sustainable Guard outfit, make at least twenty of them. I shouldn't need to say what they would need to be made out of." Stella ordered as she took a bite of ice cream.
Hill was a little confused, "Male?" He asked.
Stella nodded. "Cerim wanted me to change my identity... So that is the best way." That earned a laugh from Di.
"Oh? I think you were too high profile Miss. You might have scared them a little that you were caught out." Di joked.
Stella just took another bite of her ice cream. When the realization hit Di, her face blanked. "You mean, they found you?" Di's voice turned frighteningly cold.
Stella chuckled. "They found me out when I debuted as a female. It was just that they had no plan in place yet. Not like I mind anyway, dressing as a male can be quite enjoyable." Stella's eyes gleamed.
Hill shuddered, he didn't want to know what his Miss was thinking... "I will have it delivered by tomorrow." Hill replied as he left quickly to start his newly acquired work...
Stella took a seat and sat at the table. Seemingly not paying attention to a spar between Amy and Alex which was going on. "Make sure Blair is sufficiently prepared, keep in touch with him." Stella ordered as Di saw her time to leave.
"I understand Miss." She gave a small salute and left. Leaving Stella with her ice cream.
