Alex: “Hmm… This mission is not that difficult. During the night, I’m just gonna roam around the city to do this mission. While, during the day, I will just donate some funds to upgrade the police’s equipment and use my political power as a billionaire and the most beloved citizen of Central City to clear up the corruption of those politicians. ” He went off to work for about nine hours and after work, he went to the police station. As he reached the police station, he walked to the reception.
Alex said to the officer on the reception, ” Hi there, officer. I would like to talk to the head of the police here.” The officer recognized Alex and asked, ” May I know why? ” Alex replied, ” I would like to speak to him on serious issues regarding Central City.” The officer asked him to wait for a while and he ran off to the office of the head of police Central City. After brief moments, the head of police, the officer from the reception came out from the office and lead Alex to the office.
As Alex walked into the room, he saw the head of Central City police, Captain David Singh walking towards him. Captain David greeted him ” Afternoon, Dr. Alex.” Alex greeted him back. Captain David asked, ” So what do I owe the pleasure of having Dr. Alex coming over here to talk to me? ”
Before Alex said anything, he closed the door and shut the blinds close and sat down. He asked Captain David, ” So captain, I would like to make a donation to the police department of Central City.” The captain did not get joyful and was curious about the reason why Alex was donating money to the police department; he asked Alex, ” Why so? ”
Alex: ” You see… That I want the equipment of the police to be upgraded. To make Central City safer.”
Captain David interrupted Alex and said, ” It’s no use. You should spend the money elsewhere. Upgrading the equipments wouldn’t help at all. There are gangs: mafia, triads, yakuza and etc. Even so, if we wanted to arrest them, they are protected from the top … Corruption… They wouldn’t allow it to happen.”
Alex: ” Great analysis, captain. That’s why I’m here to discuss a plan with you. This plan involves flushing out most of the gangs and wiping out the corrupted politicians and the top brass of police. So, I will need your cooperation and the police. What do you say, captain?”
Captain David: ” Let’s just say … Hypothetically… If I work with you, how are you going to find shreds of evidence and uncorrupt judges, juries and lawyers to arrest them. It is almost impossible to carry out your plan.”
Alex: ” I’m still explaining my plan, captain.” He brought out his phone out and displayed a hologram of the plan out. The captain slowly read through the plan and after he was done, he was totally amazed as well was frightened by how detailed the plan and every step were and how far-sighted Alex was. The captain agreed to work with Alex and asked him, ” What’s in for you?” Alex told the captain, ” Just contributing to society and sick of corruption and crime in the city and other reasons,” as his main motive was to repair the damages system by completing the mission.
Before heading out of the office, Alex told Captain David Singh, ” Use your most trusted police officers. I don’t want the plan to be leaked. Goodbye, Captain David Singh.” Alex walked out of the police station and headed back to a restaurant to eat his dinner and taking a small break before carrying out his nightlife as Phantom, patrolling Central City and making crime pay.

During the night, Alex did his patrol and helped those who were in need. For example, he prevented theft from happening, helped some elderly to cross the road ( Of course, when he was doing so, he slowed his speed down and made the elders comfortable before helping them to cross the road. The elders do know that Phantom was helping them and not confused about the situation, not thinking that they lost their mind, etc. ) and rescuing people from burning buildings. However, Alex felt that something was wrong when he was running at an alley at his normal speed (around Mach 4). He turned around and saw a yellow steak chasing after him.
Alex: ” So … Reverse Flash, huh… He wants to challenge him to a fight. Let’s see whether he can catch up to me first. ” Alex increased his speed and lead Reverse Flash to a chase. Alex thought to himself, “Surprisingly, Reverse Flash can still follow me, but he can’t catch up to me. How disappointing! ” Alex thought for a while and said, ” Might as well as to fight Reverse Flash to test my ability.” He led Reverse Flash to a football stadium and stood in the middle of the field waiting for Reverse Flash to arrive. A few seconds later, a man in a yellow spandex suit arrived. Phantom said to Reverse Flash, ” Hi there! Who are you? ( Even though Alex know who he was.)” Reverse Flash did not reply and stayed silent, observing Phantom in a distance. Phantom told Reverse Flash, “Okay, fine then I will just beat you up to find out who you are.” A fight between Phantom and Reverse Flash was soon about to go down.
