Haven City

"So what's new" Keith said "let's go get our grumpy friend."

Carol nodded. "Yeah."

Keith smiled heading to where they were holding James

James looked up and at Keith as he got his restraints off. "I need to ask you something important Keith."

"It can wait till we're out of here" Keith said

"It really can't." James said tossing his cuffs to the side.

"Alright then ask" Keith said

"How are the Packers doing?" James asked.

"They could be doing better" Keith said "But the Colts are leading their division."

James sighed. "Oh the tough AFC South." He said putting on his aviators then he tossed them when he saw one lenses was cracked. "My favorite pair....anyways we've got trouble. The CIA Director is cooking something big up."

"The Texans aren't the pushover they used to be" Keith said "and the Titans and Jags are getting better. So what's the CIA up to now?"

(off to bed, catch you later)

(have a good one)

"Just the destruction of free will." James said. "The Paradise Lost Army was formed by Director Hudson so that he could manufacture a threat that would allow him to implement several AIs he has had ArmsTech Industries develop. He's going to implement them into the military forces within NATO and then they'll spread into the civilian sector...these AIs will take the world over and rig everything, they'll start wars to keep nations in check, they'll rig elections, and even take over groups like HYDRA...we won't be fighting for things like power and ideas anymore we'll become sheep, just cogs in a machine."

"Can't have that, can we.", Victoria said with a small smile.

James looked at Victoria then chuckled. "No, we can't."

"I'm all for free will so how about we put a stick in their wheels?", Erica said.

(back later)

Jessica nodded. "Yeah sounds good to me."

James nodded. "The AI systems are at ArmsTech Industries, which is the old Talbot Enterprises building in Haven City. If we can get back to Azania I can get my people at the MSF to back us up. We'll need to keep this quiet because I'm sure the SRF Base will be running protection for ATI."

"Fair enough.", Erica nodded.

James nodded. "Let's get going." He said walking to the door with a slight limp.

Keith nodded following.

Victoria offered to help James.

"I'm alright." James said walking out. "Just need to get some energy."

"Fair enough!"

James glanced back at her as he got outside.

Jessica hurried after him.

Erica went after them.

James and Jessica walked towards the transport.

Valkyrie was floating in the air, the area around her was rubble and battle scarred, the soldiers that were left were all on their knees, haven surrendered.
