[Bonus chapter 5/5.]

"How about we continue this discussion in the future? We have a place to be after all," Adam remarked.
"Good point," Rowena replied as she stopped caressing the universal force staff before asking, "So you're happy if I deal with them right?"
"Go for it, I'm interested to see how well you wield it," Adam replied before asking, "Do you know how to use the force staff's stunshot at least?"
"Press here, right?" Rowena asked as she pointed to a particular section of the force staff.
"No," Adam replied before pointing to a different section close by and saying, "Here."
"Really?" Rowena asked in surprise with a confused look.
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Some expert, she doesn't even know where to press it. Kekeke.]
"I could have sworn it was this section," Rowena said thoughtfully.
[[You are correct if we were talking about the previous version of the universal force staff. However, this is a newer version and the section you press to fire the stunshot has changed.]] Spector suddenly announced.
"A new version?" Rowena asked in surprise before adding, "I haven't heard of a new version being released in the last several years."
[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): A new version? If memory serves, the last time the Universal Senate Security HQ released a new version of the universe force staff was 7 years ago.]
[LadyErkath (Deverinian Prime): That sounds about right. I was still Universal Senator for the Hades Galaxy back then.]
[NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): How does the streamer have a new version then?]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Yet another mystery is added to the streamer that we need to solve.]
"Alright, we'll leave it up to you then," Adam said before stepping back slightly.
"This should be good," Celeste said with a smile.
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Oh hell yeah, fight time.]
[Puntanghunter69Ver2 (International Space Station): We get to see one of the women in action finally, shame it's not in the bedroom, but this is good enough for now.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Fucking perv.]
[OfficialAphrodite (Felinia 7): Do you want to see me in action in the bedroom?]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): …]
[Puntanghunter69Ver2 (International Space Station): Oh, heck yeah.]
[Most of the men in chat: Heck yeah.]
[OfficialAphrodite (Felinia 7): Hehe. 😜]
[Puntanghunter69Ver2 (International Space Station): Does that mean you will do it or not?]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): What exactly would she let us watch? Maybe one of her shows live?]
[Justiceistruth (Earth): Only if it was with the streamer, it's his stream after all.]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): I wouldn't mind watching then.]
[OfficialAphrodite (Felinia 7): Hehe. 😼]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): I'm not sure I have ever seen Diva Rowena fight. This should be interesting.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): I have never even heard of her getting into a fight.]
[LadyErkath (Deverinian Prime): It's happened once or twice in the last century, but it didn't last long, so it's not surprising you haven't heard of it.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): What was the reason for the fight?]
[LadyErkath (Deverinian Prime): Just some guys who thought too highly of themselves and got too friendly. They soon regretted it.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): Sounds like someone in the chat.]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): It's a shame we won't get to see her fight for real.]
[OfficialMuriel (Aqua Primus): What do you mean?]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): Well, first off, she is unlikely to use her wings to fly since she is trying to stay incognito. Secondly, those two are members of her family and I doubt she wants to seriously hurt them.]
[OfficialMuriel (Aqua Primus): I see your point.]
"You could at least offer to get the hatch for me," Rowena pouted.
"I'm already lending you the force staff," Adam replied.
"Do you know how many men I've had go out of their way to open the door for me?" Rowena pouted again before turning to Celeste.
"Oh no, not this time, you wanted to do this, so do it yourself," Celeste said with a smile.
"Hmph, fine," Rowena replied before resting the end of the force staff against the hatch and using it to open the hatch quietly.
After doing so, she crouched slightly to put strength in her legs before jumping up and through the hatch that was even higher than Adam's head.
"Holy," Adam said in shock as he watched Rowena jump straight up through the hole that was now in the ceiling.
[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): Wow, look at her go.]
[RealOtaku (Earth): How the heck does she jump so high?]
[Animefangirl (Earth): That's so Anime.]
[Superhearofangirl (Earth): Can she leap higher than a tall building?]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): She jumped that high without even using her wings?]
[NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): That's about normal for one of the long-lived races, because of our ancestry to the progenitors, we tend to be built differently from the finite races.]
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): I guess you're also built differently from us.]
As everyone watched through the micro-cam, they saw that Rowena's jump wasn't only enough to clear the hatch, but enough to send her higher than the hover vehicles, which allowed her to see the two Brood that were still working on one of them with their backs turned to her.
Since they were not looking, Rowena allowed her wings to appear for a brief moment, which was just long enough to give them one good flap and propel herself forward before she retracted her wings again and hid them.
She raised the force staff up and pointed it at one of the Brood working on the hover vehicle before pressing a certain section of it that caused a flash of blue light at the tip as it fired a stunshot.
The stunshot hit one of the Brood, causing him to collapse to the ground with a thud.
Noticing his companion's strange action and hearing the thud, the other Brood was about to turn to check on his companion when he suddenly felt a stinging pain in the back of his head before his vision went black and he collapsed next to his companion just as Rowena landed beside him with a proud smile.
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Done already?]
[Puntanghunter69Ver2 (International Space Station): That's what she said, kek.]
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): Damn, she owned them.]
[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): They never stood a chance.]
[MercheadAnderson (Palaxia): They never even noticed her to stand a chance.]
[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): That's how you take someone out stealthily. Hope you're paying attention, streamer, you could learn a thing or two. Kekeke.]
"Wow," Adam said in surprise.
"Surprised?" Celeste asked with a smirk before leaping up through the hatch as Rowena had done.
[Superhearofangirl (Earth): Is leaping over tall buildings in a single bound an everyday thing in the universe or something?]
[OfficialMuriel (Aqua Primus): Only for the long-lived races. As Lady Raphilia explained before, they have far greater athletic abilities compared to us finite races.]
Adam shook his head before crouching slightly and jumping up through the hatch himself, though, admirably, he didn't jump as high as the two women had.
[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): WTF even the steamer can do that ?]
[CEOHopkins (Earth): He is still human, right?]
[OfficialLorelie (Felinia 7): Mostly 😏]
[CEOHopkins (Earth): What do you mean mostly?]
[OfficialLorelie (Felinia 7): Hehe. 😝]
After passing through the hatch, Adam landed on the floor just next to it before walking towards Rowena and Celeste, who were waiting for him.
"And here I was expecting to have to watch you struggling to climb out. How did you make that jump? Is your race naturally gifted athletically like my own?" Celeste remarked with a mixture of curiosity and disappointment.
"Not at all, if it was me before my incident on Earth, I would never have made that jump; it's more likely I would have had to jump and grab hold of the hatch ledge before pulling myself up… if I could have even managed that," Adam replied.
"Did you get some kind of body modification then?" Celeste asked, to which Adam nodded.
[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): Seriously?]
[Whostolemyduck (Earth): I wonder what modifications he had done? Other than something to his legs.]
[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): It's not necessarily his legs specifically; he could have had modifications done to his entire body's bone and muscle structure.]
[Puntanghunter69Ver2 (International Space Station): I'm curious if he had a dick modification.]
[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): Only because you want one.]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Want one! Don't you mean he NEEDS one?]
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Ohhh burn 🔥]
[Emojisonly (Earth): 🔥]
[Puntanghunter69Ver2 (International Space Station): …]
[CEOHopkins (Earth): I guess that's what Diva Lorelie meant about him being 'mostly human'.]
"So what do we do with them?" Adam asked as he looked at the two unconscious Brood.
"Leave them," Rowena said after glancing at them quickly before turning and heading to the hatch in order to close it while saying, "If things go as I remember, they will be found in a few hours after Stacey reports her attack and a full search of the estate is performed."
"Surely that will look suspicious, these two getting attacked around the same time Stacey did," Celeste remarked.
"At the time, we also came to the same conclusion," Rowena replied with a sigh before turning to them with a sad look in her eyes as she continued. "However, after no injuries were found on Stacey and after she was accused of making the whole thing up, they were concluded to be two separate incidents.
However, nothing was discovered to have been stolen or altered in any way and so with nothing to go on, the case of how these two were knocked unconscious was dropped."
"What about the security camera?" Adam asked while pointing at a corner of the garage roof.
[Justiceistruth (Earth): Security camera? Where?]
[StealthAssassin9 (Earth): I don't see anything.]
"I'm surprised you spotted it," Rowena replied in an impressed tone before adding, "When checked, it was discovered that the camera's footage had been erased."
"By us?" Adam asked curiously.
"I can only assume so. I was going to do it once we left the garage," Rowena replied.
"Wouldn't that trace the deletion back to you?" Adam asked.
"What's this? Are you worried about little old me?" Rowena asked sweetly.
"The only part of that sentence that spoke the truth was the old part," Celeste stated while eyeing Rowena up and down and adding, "There's definitely nothing little."
"I hope you weren't calling me fat just now," Rowena replied with a cold smile.
"I was referring to your assets," Celeste replied.
"I would hope so," Rowena replied.
