Boilerplate didnt need his G.P.S. to know he was nearing Area 51. He could practically smell the town that rested around it. Finally a chance to meet his old friends again. He neared the town and flew above it, gazing down at the houses, shops, and resturants in it. Soon their radar would pick him up, he would only have a few seconds to reply before a Paladin missle was launched at him and blew him back to 1907. " Unknown entity identify yourself and land." A voice materialised in his hearing units. " My name is Boilerplate, I come in peace and I mean no harm to anyone."

There was a moment of silence before the voice spoke again, " Boilerplate are you of this earth?" " Yes I am." " Why are you here?" " I am here to speak to the survivors of the Nautilus, and to Tyler and Julia Lam." There was another moment of silence and another voice came on the line. " This is General Thaddeus Ross, I am commander of this base. Land and we will speak more." " Of course General."

Boilerplate slowly lowered his speed and landed gently on the tarmac. There he saw a small army of Jeeps and troop carriers approach him. He held up his hand's to show he had no weapons. Well that wasnt true, he knew 15 kinds of Martial Arts, knew how to use every modern firearm, and knew how to pilot most aircraft and boats. Two people leapt from a jeep and ran towards him. He recodnised Julia and Tyler. His eyes lit up bright blue and he shook their hands. " It is good to see you again..." Julia said as she let go of his metal hand.

Soon he sat down in a jeep between Tyler and Julia and stared back at the troops watching him. The van entered a huge hangar and he was escorted with Julia and Tyler towards a room where he bathed in Ultraviolet light for a minute and was escorted to the hub of Area 51: The Main Wing. It consisted of General Ross's office, radio room, armory, and board room for emergency meeting. The other three sides were, quarters for people in the facility, Hospital and Hangar.

Boilerplate was escorted to the office of General Ross. General Ross looked as if he had been just shaken out of bed and just crawled into his uniform. " Hello General." Boilerplate said. " Yes, hello Boilerplate." Ross sat down in his chair and said, " First of all I want to know how the hell you knew about our operations here, and I want to know now." Boilerplate let out a mechanical sigh and said, " When President Kennedy freed me in 1963, I was sent into hiding... but I have several friends in high places, some are descendants of the ones who freed me. I hope you will understand if I dont reveal their names."

Ross nodded and said " Whats your relation to the Original League?" Boilerplate told him, " Captain Nemo contacted my father, Archibold Campion in 1901 to access his experience and information on the south pole. They were tracking a strange Orb of somekind...well I met with the League at the gathering at my father's house in 1900, a few months before they would shove off towards the artic, I grew a rapid friendship with them as Nemo and my father poured over notes deep into the night. My father provided most of the technology that the Nautilus had in it, so they already had a fast friendship.

" I remember the day they left, Ms. Harker called me her friend..." Boilerplate lowered his head, " That was the first time anyone called me that..." Ross stood up and said " Well you pose no threat to the base, and as long as you are here you follow my orders, is that clear?" Boilerplate nodded eagerly. " Yes, yes it is"
Boilerplate beat Ross to the door and raced towards the Leagues Quarters.

Boilerplate was greeted with hugs and shaken hands from the Two Leagues as they had a reunion in the Confernce hall of Area 51. Mina embraced Boilerplate with open arms. The New sat back as the Old League embraced their old friend. " Glad to see someone from the old days." Jekyll said to Boilerplate. Boilerplate then happily turned the New League and asked " What are your names?" James stood up and said " My name is Bond, James Bond.." Ash walked up to him and shook his hand. " Names Ash, Ashley J. Williams." A beautiful woman with blonde hair looked up at him and said " My name is Beatrix Kiddo.."

A tiny voice from below greeted Boilerplate. He looked down to see a tiny mouse standing below him. " Names Stuart...Stuart Little. I wish Stanley was here so you could meet him." Boilerplate chuckled and said. " Im sure ill meet him soon. For now im just happy to see my old friends again." Julia and Tyler walked in at the last minute, their faces grim. " What is wrong Julia?" Boilerplate asked, " Its Stan...he's in a coma.."

Stanley's body layed comatose in the hospital bed, he was hooked up to a respirator and a hear monitor. But in his mind...he was trapped...in a dungeon. Stanley screamed in pain as The Mask pounded his head into the wall. " NOTHING CAN STOP ME!!!" He tossed Stanley to the other side of his cell as he prepared to hit him again. But Mask just gave him a final kick and walked away, saying " I got bigger stuff to do... Like getting out of your head." Stanley curled in a corner, crying and sobbing. " Someone...someone please.." He looked up at the ceiling, " SOMEBODY PLEASE WAKE ME UP!!!!!!"

There was no more Fiona, no more friends, no more Area 51. He was trapped in his mind... trapped like a miner in a cave in. Slowly he rose to his feet and looked out the bars of his cell. It was a terrifying rendition of Edge City, made in a personal hell by Mask..." I hope to God the guys can stop him..." He layed on the floor and thought about Tina, about Fiona, his sadly run over by a Miller Truck, Milo. He knew he had to keep his sanity, he may have cried earlier, but he would not let Mask grind him down first...

Mina gazed sadly at the silent, pale form of Stanley that layed on the hospital bed. She smoothed back his hair as the team gathered in the room. Jekyll suddenly heard Hyde in his mind. " Henry...Mask has done this..I know it." " How can you be sure Hyde?" " It has to be...he must be trying to escape. I fear what will happen if that man does." " Your right...let us hope he dosent.." Hyde was silent for a moment before saying, " Henry...it is a world we live in, I need to say that I am sorry." Jekyll was suprised and he said, " You mean-." " Yes Henry...I am sorry for all the people that ive hurt...like I said it is a new world..and in order for us to adapt in it...we must change..." " Im suprised Edward..." " I know...so am I. Ever since Mask gave me a taste of what ive done...I fell that in order to destroy this being..I must change, as our world has."

Jekyll smiled, for the first time in about 107 years actually. " Do you mean what you say?" " Yes, yes I do. Even though I am brute at times...I am slowly taking on parts of your personality." Jekyll chuckled. " So its true...live with someone long enough and you grow to be like them.."
