Walter went through the last few classes of the day without much stress, cracking jokes every now and then and talking with some new people. Eventually, the whole school was called for an assembly. He looked around for Jasper, Light and Hachi, but only found the latter. "Hey, where are Light and Jasper?" He asked. Before he could get an answer, Bruce explained the situation and mentioned a task force being assembled to bring the five back.

'OOOOOOHHHHH, THIS IS MY CHANCE TO BE A HERO, THIS IS MY CHANCE TO BE A HERO, THIS IS MY CHANCE TO BE A HERO!' Walter thought to himself, holding back a scream of excitement. He took a deep breath, shook his head a bit, then stood up. "I want to be a part of the task force," he said, his voice calm and sophisticated, a stark contrast to how excited he was. "We'll bring them back, Mr. Wayne. I promise you that."
