Nathaniel knew that their guest had arrived before the security system on the grounds even alerted him, and spent a few moments learning what he could about the man who was coming to visit.  It didn't take him long to determine what he had already guessed that Agent Carter already knew a good deal about him.  Everything that was in his official file as a former Agent of S.W.O.R.D.  It was also clear that his former associates didn't trust him much.  They thought that his ideals of Patriotism we're outdated.  It was a saddening thing that this generation placed so little value on the principles that made it the outstanding nation that it was.  Too many had allowed ignorance and fear to push them into hasty decisions and given up liberty for security.  To people in this era patriotism meant unquestioning loyalty to government control.<br/><br/>Nathaniel made his way across the mansion to the main entrance hall passing by a few of his students.  Meta human's that he found and promised protection.  Most of them only had minor or passive abilities such as appearance or heightened senses.  One of them could make her body nearly indestructible.  All of them we're young with the exception of his speedster friend Ken Aldrin.  He continued to monitor Agent Carters thoughts and smiled slightly at his assessment that this might make a good training ground if improvements we're made.  It was nice to know that S.W.O.R.D. didn't know everything about his set up here.  Many of the things he had in mind had already been done, although some of them could stand an upgrade or two.<br/><br/>'Welcome Agent Carter,' Nathaniel projected opening the front door before their was any knock.  'Do come in.'  He didn't normally make a habit of communicating this way, but he was curious to see how his guest might react to receiving telepathic communication.  "Please feel free to make yourself at home."  He held out his hand to Zachary Carter.  "Nathaniel Grayson, but you already knew that."
