Major Force's response was simple and clear. He saw the deal offered by Superman as heavily in the Government's favour. "How long will your lab need to perform analysis? After that the Government's request is custody and control of the body and full access to any related research or developments. Currently we're treating this as a terrorist attack on U.S soil by an unknown entity, and it is an absolute that we need to know how this happened." Force's tone was hard-line and clear. Many men would grow nervous in the presence of Superman but he stood tall, proud and behaved as though he was absolutely in control of the situation. "Atom and I will accompany you onto the Watchtower for the analysis, with your permission. We have no intentions on infringing on your privacy and operations beyond what relates to this incident."<br/><br/>Back in the air Shazam's hook connected with a thunderous crash. This time the robot barely moved at all to react, and was sent tumbling through the sky to a thudding landing on the street. Concrete shattered like plaster when it landed and a cloud of dust billowed into the street. Nearby there were a few wounded or unconscious soldiers, victims of Adam. The few still conscious were making sounds of pain as they tried to right broken bones, crawl from torn apart vehicles or just try to suffer through internal bleeding. As much as Adam hadn't kill any initially without medical aid that was likely to change pretty soon. Unfortunately through the torn apart streets and wreckage it was unlikely much aid could get through, and what did would be focused on the victims not the perpetrators.<br/><br/>Atom himself remained transfixed by the substance. He knew already it was alien in origin. His mind was working at an unreal rate as he peered at the green orb of liquid as though he were seeing through it. To any onlookers the liquid would appear to warp, twisting in on itself as he attempted to pry apart it's makeup himself. A sharp static began to run through the air around him, along with a little distortion of vision similar to a heat haze. It took real effort to manipulate an unknown element like this, and just as his powers side-effects started to show he, and they, stopped. Any more study would be carried out in a laboratory. He seemed to snap out of the haze and leave the orb hanging in the air as he flew down to the crashed robot. As soon as he landed he waved his hand lightly, causing the dust and debris in the air to all fall down instantly. It was a surreal moment for the clogged air to become perfectly clear in a moment.<br/><br/>In the crater just before him lay the severely damaged robot, having taken the full brunt of Shazam's strike it looked functional but seemed to be struggling to remove itself from the ground. It seemed likely enough this was a side-effect of the complete lack of fuel in its systems. It just seemed to gaze up with lightly glowing green eyes, unresponsive. Atom himself awaited the heroes joining him before approaching calmly and steadily, totally ignoring the wounded attackers around him. Any that did take a closer look and that possessed greater than ordinary eyesight would soon, particularly after Atom cleared the air, see the 'Wayne Enterprises' logos on their armour and weaponry.
