The guardian led Ben and Hal to a building ten times taller than earths tallest skyscraper. The guardians hologram waved his hand and the huge heavy doors gave way, surprising Ben. Trixx, how is he able to do that in hologram form? Ben mentally asked Trixx who was analyzing everything Ben set his eyes on as well as documenting every path they took.
The guardians have Integrated themselves with most of this planet and every building you see. My sensors have tagged a large amount of telepathic energy radiating from the air. Thus meaning their abilities are far superior than that of Martian manhunter. Energy readings depict the presence of a power source more powerful than a nuclear reactor and to some extent all power sources on earth. I have synced all the data I possess about OA and that power source is the Green Lanterns main battery. It powers every ring in every part of the galaxy much like the omnitrix has the Codon stream for storing alien DNA but I evolved past that and store my data digitally. Trixx explained to Ben pausing her analysis of the surroundings to show Ben the readings her sensors picked up. The battery was producing energy that could power up the earth indefinitely. Cool… where are we headed? Ben asked her again. He hated being kept in the dark or not having control of a situation.
I am afraid I am unable to determine that as they have gone through extreme measures to negate my sensors Trixx answered honestly. Great! They are more paranoid than the Forever Knights! I guess there is only one way to find out. He concluded and continued flying following them through in the building.
"You will have to forgive the security measures we had to adapt for your arrival. Your intention towards this universe is still unclear to us and from what we have seen and experienced in regards to the Omnitrix calls for the extra security features." The guardian explained for he knew that by now Ben had attempted to collect data on them and since they didn't detect any forceful intrusions in their system he decided otherwise on hacking them.
"No worries" Ben dismissed not surprised they knew the name of the omnitrix, after all they are like the superior lords of information in this universe much like the plumbers in their universe. The guardian nodded.
"What does he mean by experienced?" Hal asked coming to fly beside Ben leaving the guardian to lead. "Oh, I almost hacked their system database." Ben shrugged. "WHAT? When!?" Hal asked surprised then slightly angry. "Hey! To be fair they started hacking the watchtower first. I only returned the favour." Ben defended himself.
"I believe your friend speaks the truth" the guardian acknowledged.
"Wait… that whole system shut down alarm thing was you hacking our system?" Hal asked putting the pieces together.
"Yeah… sorry. I have a feeling I should have mentioned it earlier…"
"You think!" Hal chided angrily but the guardian interrupted before they could continue with their squabble.
"The others await us" the guardian called out before waving his hand and two huge sets of doors opened into a dark room with more holograms of guardians floating in the middle of the room. The room was HUGE.
"Woah!" Hal exclaimed.
"What do you mean wow? Have you not been here before?" Ben asked him seeing he was just as mesmerized as he was. The room felt like he was in Alien X subconscious talking to them.
"Actually none of us are allowed in here. This is my first time." Hal unwillingly responded not wanting Ben to know he was the reason he had been invited in the first place. Since he was their mutual acquaintance.
Flying high up in the clouds was Diana and her sister Cate heading to her apartment at the top of the embassy after they had bid their mother goodbye and had crossed the barrier into mans world.
Hippolyta earlier on made a decision that if her youngest daughter wanted to explore mans world then it would be under the guidance of Diana, who will make sure her sister does not cause or get into trouble.
For Cate this was the opportunity she was waiting for ever since Diana won the tournament and was allowed to represent their homeland to mans world. The stories her sisters working at the embassy told about the world when visiting were so fascinating and intriguing to her since she was the only one who listened to them. The rest of their sisters despised everything about man's world, some wishing to never step foot past their magical border.
Initially Hippolyta was against Diana going to mans world but she had no choice other than to accept as dictated by their custom that whoever won the tournament would get to be an ambassador of their people in mans world.
The scenery from high above was spectacular. The buildings seemed to spread continuously on the ground and considering their enhanced eyesight, people could be seen conducting their daily activities. Cate was shocked on the number of people down below bumping into each other mostly competing to get into the yellow taxi cabs. Before this opportunity arose, she took it upon herself to research about mans world; all their inventions, the different cultures available, norms and their flaws too making sure she would blend in as much as possible. Maybe then will her mother let her go to one of the universities she had read about.
"Where are we going?" They had been flying for close to 30 minutes now heading in one direction. After late lunch with their mother, Diana and Cate had taken off for her apartment. This was made easier with their ability to fly making them go unnoticed.
"My apartment. Then we can order something to eat" Diana replied looking at her sister seeing the sparkle in her eyes looking at all the man made technology they were flying over.
"Wow! So many tall structures and people." Cate marveled at the sky scrapers and the occasional airplane that flew past them. She'd heard stories about mans extensive inventions yet it was more exciting to experience them personally.
"Yes, they are called sky scrapers. Man has really developed over the years.." Diana replied not voicing what she really wanted to say.. "Unfortunately these advancements are child's play to other civilizations" she thought about Ben and his watch being so advanced. At least they were at per with the avengers homeworld.
"It's amazing…can we land on that one?" Cate asked pointing to one with a flat roof her curiosity getting the better of her.
"No! We need to get to the apartment so I can check in with the justice league. I have been away for far too long already" Diana insisted.
"You're no fun, it's not even been 48hrs since you left.. don't you think if anything were to happen they would have contacted you?" Cate always knew what buttons to push and how to get her stickler for the rules sister to agree with her..
"I suppose you are correct. J'onn would have contacted me." He always reached out telepathically in case of an emergency.
"I cant believe everyone down there has a job to do." Cate commented. There were just too many people in this city making her wonder about the rest of the world.
"Technically yes but it all depends whether your job is legal or illegal" Diana supplied. It was true since career criminals could also claim that engaging in crime can be defined as their mode of employment.
"Where is the watchtower and embassy located?" Cate was also eager to see some of her sisters who had promised to teach her all about the world when her sister was busy with justice league affairs.
"Patience sister, I'll take you for the tour once you settle down for a couple of days or weeks…" Diana answered amused by her excitement and added "It is currently floating in orbit. We have to be teleported up since space travel is hectic and exhausting." She had noticed her sister glancing towards space. The only cause of that would be to try and locate the justice league headquarters
