When they were done he just nodded. He knew full well the duo didn't trust him, and he didn't fully trust them, but he wasn't here to be unreasonable. Everything they said made sense, there was far more chance someone was attempting to frame Wayne than of Wayne instigating a terror attack.<br/><br/>"You're both right. But someone will have got photographs by now. We can minimise media spread of this story in exchange for information. The Government's goal is to identify those responsible for this, arrest them, and prevent a repeat. Currently our stance is to do our best to work with you, sharing information and assets where we can."<br/><br/>The statement was mostly a positive one but came with something of an underlying double meaning. Currently was an operative word in the last sentence. It implied that it would be simple enough to change that stance and make the League's operations a great deal more hassle. But it was the line Atom had been ordered to deliver, and he did so without question. It wasn't his job to decide how the Government should think. Inwardly he felt a sliver of self doubt, as he realised that the Government were as good as deciding what he thought, but his dedication to duty soon took over again. He'd stopped walking forwards and just stood stationary.<br/><br/>"Our proposal is that you take the robot and its fuel now for analysis. When you're done Major Force and I will meet you either in your Watchtower or in our own laboratory. You can give us your findings, and the robot itself, for evidence if nothing else. Whoever did this needs to be held fully accountable not just morally but legally, as I'm sure you understand. Do you have any requests to make this happen?"<br/><br/>Just as he was done speaking Force arrived, landing beside Atom but remaining quiet. No doubt their communication channels meant he already knew everything that'd been said. For his part it seemed Black Adam was done defending the city and had as good as disappeared.
