While on the flight Fiona spoke on their communicators. " I just got a message from C.I.A. HQ, your not going to believe this." " What is it?" Ash said with a sleepy voice. " They have found an old submarine dating back to the 1900's they think it may be sub of Captain Nemo." They all woke up at that. Mattias said " You mean they have found the sub of the original League?" " Yeah and from what this letter is saying, theyre going to try raising it, and getting to Area 51 by...am I reading this right? Teleporting it." James smiled saying, " Looks like we may get to see our predeasessors."
Ash said, " How long will it take them to get it here?" Fiona kept on reading, " Well from what im reading here, the work they did with the explosives was a sucess, so about a day and a half. I.T.C. has set up a remote outpost 50 miles away from where the aircraft carrier hauling it is currently positioned it, they should get there tonight, have the ship set to be teleported by morning." A few minutes after she finished her sentence soft snoring and sighs filled Fionas ears. They had all fallen asleep. She had a bit of sleep last night about 6 hours worth. Not enough for the recommended amount but close enough for her to go on. Soon to occupy her time she played Solitare. She kept an eye on the GPS signal in their communicators, they were almost to Area 51 by now.
She looked at her watch, 10:00 A.M. she needed to get some breakfast. She took some breakfast sandwhiches supposedly filled with eggs and bacon, and orange juice that was supposedly orange juice. It was all designed to keep her from gaining weight. She worked at a special facility in Austrailia just outside of Sydney. Sometimes she got away from the computer and took a walk through town. But that was on occasion or on nights she couldnt sleep. She got out of her chair watched as her small gaunlet of intel gatherers started to arrive and go to their posts.
They would arrive at ten in the morning and then leave at nine at night but if a situation ever arised where they would be fully needed, the team would be called in to work through the night. Most were hackers employed by ExOps, some were younger than her. They didnt talk too much, these kids had some bad records, depression, abusive parents, computers became their only refuge, their only friends. But they were some of the best on earth, so they got the best therapy they could get. And slowly they were getting better, but it would be a long time. She sighed and looked back to her monitor, they were starting to land.
The League opened their eyes as the sun glared through the windows as the plane landed at Area 51. They undid their seat belts stood up, Stuart climbing up onto James shoulder as they exited the plane. A medical team rushed up the steps with a stretcher and two guys with heavy machine guns. They watched as they carried out Stanley on a stretcher. They ran up to walk alongside him.
" Whe...where am I?" Stanley said in a faint whisper as his eyes blinked rapidly to adapt to the sun. " Your at Area 51 Stan." Ash said as he walked alongside him. A thin man with blonde hair put up in pony tail looked at them saying, " Its a pleasure to meet all you guys, im Doctor Robert Oakley leader of the medical team here." He pointed to a tall asian woman with black hair, " Thats Doctor, Selene Hui, our psycologist." The entire team was large enough to work a hospital. But no regular hospital included a excorsist and a pshyic. Soon they entered double doors that lead into the facility. They entered a decontamination room where they got bathed in a blue light for five minutes. Then they exited the room and entered a medical area where The whole League was stopped by armed guards and could only watch as Stanley was carried away by a team of doctors.
General Ross was a tall man with white hair, mustache, and a barrel chest. He met with the League in his private office. " Im General Thaddeus Ross, I run this base, as long as you are here your under my rules, is that clear?" They all nodded. " Good, now lets get down to buisness." He sat himself down in the leather chair behind his desk. " I have a submarine coming to this base in 36 hours, and the two researchers who found the ship are coming to examine it." Ash raised his hand " General we know all this, lets down to the bare brass, whats going to happen to Stan?" Ross sighed deeply saying, " From what the doctors briefed me, he has been diagnosed with a acclerated case of MPD. Caused by a mixture of the death of his fiance and the use of a strange mask that supposedly brings out a diffrent side of his personality." Ash nodded.
" Im going to have him pshycologically processed and examined so we can assess his problem, than the special team will do whatever they see fit." Ross shrugged " Frankly I have no idea what they do or how they do it." James Bond said " I think I have heard your name before Sir, is your daughter Betty Ross?" Ross nodded, " Yes she is Mr. Bond." " Did you happen to know a man named Bruce Banner?" Ross's eyes glared with anger " Do not mention that freaks name, I have no idea what Betty sees in him." Stuart glared up at him " So what does that make me then?" Ross looked with suprise at a seven inch walking, talking mouse. " Agent Little-" Stuart snapped at him " Save it General." Stuart ignored him for the rest of the meeting.
The League walked out of General Ross's office and took the elevator to the helicopter deck. Fiona was listening to a recap of events. " Geez it sounds like Ross is a real asshole." Stuart replied " You said it Fiona." Fiona turned to another pressing matter. " Beatrix ive arranged for a helicopter to come get you so you can see your daughter. Mattias you may just get to see an old friend of ours." Soon a small helicopter appeared in the dessert sun and circled the helipad. It landed and a tall black man with dark sunglasses and camo-gear stepped out.
Mattias shouted " Hey Chris ya old dog!" Chris smiled and shouted back at him " Hey you lucky Son of a bitch!" Mattias walked alongside Beatrix, she said to him " Friend of yours?" Mattias said back to her " You bet, this big lug has been my main man since I started at Exops." He escorted Beatrix to the Heli. He said to Chris " Hey Chris you take good care of my friend here." He patted her on the butt. " I dont want her getting messed up." Wham! Beatrix gave him a jab to the face. The rest of the League nearly fell down laughing. Mattias had a scowl on his face as he walked away from the Heli. They were still laughing as he came back to them. " All of you shut up." He scowled as he walked with them down the stairs.
