“Alright,” Sebastian stretch his arms. “First order of business—I'll unfreeze the young lady and wipe her memory. She doesn’t need to remember any of this.”

Sebastian snapped his fingers, and Roxanne suddenly blinked, her body relaxing as if she had just woken up from a trance.

    Barry and Roxanne exchanged glances as they stared at this strange man.“Serve me? What are you talking about?” “Yes,” Sebastian replied smoothly. “I wish to pledge my undying loyalty to you.

She answered on the first ring. “Hello, Barry?” “Are you busy, Veronica?” he asked, adjusting the ice pack against his bruised face. “Not really,” she replied. “Is there a problem?” Barry exhaled, shaking his head slightly. “Today… I was taken in by the Mario brothers. They made me an offer. Have you heard about The Order?” A sharp gasp came from the other end of the line. There was a brief silence before Veronica spoke again. “The Order?” she repeated, almost in shock. “Barry, do you have any idea what the Order means?” Barry raised a brow. “I take it you do?” Veronica took a deep breath. “My late grandfather was once a member of The Order… back in his younger days.” Barry sat up straighter. “Your Grandfather?” “Yes,” she confirmed. “
