[b][color=CFC500]Skills:[/color][/b] Chemistry, Perception [hr][/center]	Watts [url=https://oyster.ignimgs.com/mediawiki/apis.ign.com/the-flash/8/8e/Harrison_Wells.jpg?width=325]dressed smartly[/url] for these sort of functions. His suit wasn't too far and he had the speed serum and other items on his person. Of course, without the suit he was at a huge risk of endangering himself with the speeds he traveled at. There was a reason most speedsters had their abilities naturally - they had evolved to be able to withstand tremendous force and friction. Watts' body did not have that same luxury, meaning that he needed to wear the suit in order to protect himself from his own speed. 

	While the others were probably annoyed at this sort of event, Watts was thoroughly enjoying himself. [color=CFC500]"Dr. Pym, it is an honor to have you here,"[/color] Watts said, extending a hand to the Pym Technologies owner and founder. [color=CFC500]"I have to say, I was deeply impressed with your publication on quantum tunneling with regard to tautomeric transition as key to Erksine's original formula. Though I did have to ask - how did you know it was superexchange-mediated tunneling? Forgive me, I've gotten ahead of myself - I'm Dr. John Watts, the head of the Research and Development department here at Serval."[/color]

	Dr. Pym nodded slightly. [color=697017]"I had my quantum computer do the calculations, looking into tunneling and hopping on a model of Steve Rogers' DNA,"[/color] he explained. [color=697017]"In fact, the new models are looking very promising. I'm expecting to publish a paper soon, assuming [i]Stark[/i] doesn't go and publish first,"[/color] he muttered, glaring in the direction of Tony Stark. [color=697017]"If it wasn't for his father, I swear... I would have had a working quantum computer decades ago..."[/color]

	Watts smiled slightly. [color=CFC500]"If you'll excuse me, Dr. Pym,"[/color] he said, wanting to talk with more than just one intellectual genius - and it seemed that Pym needed a bit of space to cool down. Tony Stark wasn't too far away so Watts headed on over, having a blast. It was his version of Christmas. [color=CFC500]"Tony Stark,"[/color] he greeted. 

	[color=f7941d]"Hey there whoever you are."[/color] The Stark Industries owner had obviously had a few drinks, but at least he wasn't completely wasted. He wasn't certain whether or not it was better for the tension in the room to keep Tony drunk or not. 

	[color=CFC500]"Dr. John Watts - I run the R&D division here at Serval,"[/color] he said, extending a hand just as he had done with Pym. A big part of this was networking. If Pym Tech or Stark Industries made him a better offer, he'd take it. His son, Stephen, was already in school and the fees were expensive. And even though his daughter, Leda, lived in England with her mother, Watts felt it was his duty to pay for her proper education too. 

	[color=f7941d]"Tony Stark but you knew that already it sounds like,"[/color] Tony said, shaking Watts' hand. [color=f7941d]"So, the R&D division? Sounds like fun."[/color]

	[color=CFC500]"I believe everyone in the room knows who you are,"[/color] Watts admitted. Perhaps he was sucking up to these people - but they were giants in his field. They were the movers and shakers, the legends. [color=CFC500]"If you have a moment, I'd love to chat about your nanotech developments - I heard you're working on making a self-healing material of sorts for your next suit?"[/color]

	[color=f7941d]"Yup, just something I've been tinkering around a bit with, definitely will make it a hell of a lot easier on me."[/color]

	He nodded slightly, putting a slight hand to his ear as Andrew informed him of the situation. His blood ran cold - not because of who was there, but that they were in the lab! His pride and joy! His blood, sweat, and tears! Anger built up in him rapidly and he forced a thin smile. [color=CFC500]"Excuse me,"[/color] he said, stepping out into the hallway and he went into a closet, changing into his suit quickly before injecting himself with the speed serum. [color=CFC500]"This is Mercury. I'm on my way to secure the lab,"[/color] he said into the comms, his eyes glowing red from the serum as his entire body vibrated.
