"We are almost there Mr. Batson." Said the driver of the limo.
"Please, just Billy."
While they drove, he made a final check. Yep, he had the disk, and the 'device'.
The disk contained a virus program, which, when activated through a local terminal, would hopefully disrupt the security field within WIZZ tower.
The part Billy felt uncomfortable with, was the timing.
Billy's 'opposite' was currently away from the tower, inspecting one of the generators, which powered the shield, and Freddy & Mary's equivalents were patrolling the city. Professor Green wanted to take this opportunity to disable the system while they were away.
He also felt uncomfortable with entering the tower.
Because of his close resemblance to Willy, he was the only one who might be able to enter WIZZ tower without being searched or questioned. Professor Green also seemed confident that his 'bio-signatures' would give him complete access to the building's resources.
Both Freddy and Mary were assigned the task of helping the resistance league take care of Terror. They planned to ambush him while he was on the way to the generator.
He hoped they would be okay.
He kept saying to himself, that if something went wrong, all he had to do was say his magic word, although it might jeopardize the plan.
There was also the 'device'.
He helped Professor Green test it a few hours ago. It was a device. When pressed against an individual, would transfer him or her to another location. That location being a specially constructed energy cage, back at the base. After testing it on Cap, he was convinced that it would hold the Terrors while the resistance overtook the tower, and liberated the city.
Billy looked out of the window. All around, he saw the pain and misery the Terrors had inflicted on these poor people. More than ever, he wished he had the power of Achilles to give him the courage to go through with this.
"We have arrived Billy." Said the driver.
"Well, here goes nothing." Thought Billy as he exited the limousine and headed towards the ominous WIZZ tower.
Billy calmly walked up the steps while avoiding the gaze of the "Tawny". As he reached the entranceway, they snapped smartly at attention. Unsure how to act, he calmly passed them, into the building.
When he entered through the sliding door, he found himself in a small vestibule. Immediately, the lights dimmed, and strange rays flickered all around him, as if they were trying to scan him. A few tense seconds later, the flickering stopped, and another door opened ahead of him. "I guess my biosignature checks out!" thought Billy nervously, as he walked through.
The lobby was something else.
It was HUGE!
Nothing could have prepared him for the sheer scope of this building. Billy likened it to the film " Brazil" mixed in with M.C. Esher, but even that couldn't do it justice. He entire area seemed to hum with an odd power, either mystical or technological, he couldn't be certain. In certain areas, there were more of the "Tawny", either doing maintenance, or other chores. None of them seemed to notice him, which was a relief.
Billy looked around. Sure enough, he found what he was looking for. At the far end of this HUGE lobby, he found a gargantuan frieze of Captain Terror over an entranceway, which would lead to the terminal he sought. The sooner he was done with this, he thought, the sooner he was out of here.
As he approached the entrance, he gazed into the menacing face of Terror. The resemblance between him and Marvel were impossibly striking.
"Back already bro?" said a voice behind him.
Billy froze and calmly looked around.
There, hovering a few feet behind him, was Major Terror!
