THE CORRIDOR SEEMED to go on forever. It felt as if the five youths had been walking for hours. And all with different opinions of the place. Dustin, for one, was very impressed.

"I mean, you have to admit, just by the engineering alone, this is impressive." He said.

"What're you talking about? It's a total fire hazard. There's no stairs, there's no exit. There's just an elevator that drops you halfway to hell." Steve contradicted.

"They're Commies. You don't pay people, they cut corners." Erica said.

"That's because this tunnel wasn't designed for walking." Irina explained.

"She's right. Think about it, they developed a perfect system for transporting that cargo." Robin agreed.

"And it all comes into the mall like any old delivery." Dustin added.

"You think they built this whole mall just so they could transport that green poison?" Steve questioned.

"It wouldn't surprise me." Irina said.

"I very seriously doubt it's something as boring as poison. It's gotta be much more valuable." Dustin theorised.

"Like promethium." Irina suggested.

"What promethium?" Steve asked.

"It's what Victor Stone's dad used to make Cyborg's bionic and cybernetic components." Robin explained.

"You're all so nerdy it makes me physically ill." Erica gagged.

"No, no, no. No, don't lump me in with them. I'm not a nerd, alright?" Steve defended and Irina lightly nudged his arm with her elbow. Steve just took her hand in his, making Irina send him a joking glare, but she didn't exactly release his hand either.

"Why so sensitive, Harrington? Afraid of losing cool points to a ten-year-old child?" Robin taunted.

"No, I'm just saying I don't know jack shit about Prometheus." Steve responded.

"Promethium. Prometheus is a Greek mythological figure, but whatever. All I'm saying is, probably being used to make something." Dustin corrected. "Irina, did you see it being used?" He asked.

"I didn't see it myself, but from what I can remember it was maybe used to power something. But don't quote me on that one." She replied.
