The two men enter the elevator, Doctor Eisenhower pressing the button to head to floor B39, where Captain Curie is. General Wilson leans against the wall, pulling a cigar from his pocket and lighting it with a match which he throws to the floor. The Doctor takes in a deep breath, and speaks: [color=salmon][b]"Curie's alive."[/b][/color]

General Wilson raises a brow, taking the cigar from his lips. [color=silver][b]"So it would seem. How do you feel about that, Eisenhower?"[/b][/color]

[color=salmon][b]"... Unsure. We had all these plans for if Curie returned, and we have Operative B87 already. Do we really need him?"[/b][/color]

[color=silver][b]"I think we do. We could use him as the face of this organization... Maybe even get him on the Justice League,"[/b][/color] General Wilson pauses in contemplation. [color=silver][b]"The Shell. It had a built in camera and microphone, correct?"[/b][/color]

[color=salmon][b]"Yes, so we can monitor Curie's missions. Are you implying...?"[/b][/color]

[color=silver][b]"It would be useful to have an eye on them. Someone within."[/b][/color]

[color=salmon][b]"... That it would. And Curie is the perfect man for the job."[/b][/color]

[color=silver][b]"We're still a part of the government. We could place him on there as the government's sponsor, so long as the League agrees."[/b][/color]

[color=salmon][b]"An excellent idea."[/b][/color]

The elevator doors open with a [i]*ding!*[/i], and the duo steps out. Their destination is clear; the large crowd at the end of the hallway is indicator enough of where Curie is. They arrive, General Wilson pushing through the crowd while Doctor Eisenhower follows close behind. What they see is the piece of equipment long forgotten, standing, moving, talking.

Fred looks at the two newcomers, both of whom he recognizes. He finds himself smiling at them. [color=darkorange][b]"Elias, Eisenhower. You miss me?"[/b][/color]

[color=silver][b]"Freddie, you have no idea."[/b][/color]
