---------------

> Somewhere in Goth Haven, a non-descript building that no one truly ever really noticed. But then that must of been why Baron Heindrich Von Zemo choose it & that is probably why Herbert Garrick bought from the U.S. government shortly after it came into their pocession.
>
> In the building's subbasement, Garrick is being debriefed. He sat before a gunmetal grey table in a room devoid of much else.
>
> "Thank you for meeting me, sir."
>
> "No problem. I wasn't going to re-enter this without first knowing all that had been going on since I left rather unexpectedly."
>
> "Yes, sir."
>
> "So, tell me about my Baby?" He said with a sly smile.
>
> "Well, sir. The Federal Meta-Human Resource Center is not what it once was. The agency along with many other's going through changes do to the fact of..."
>
> "New President." Garrick interrupted. "He's coming in, have new ideas. He is the change that America has been waiting 8 years for."
>
> "Yes, sir."
>
> "The funding for the Agency is current up for review so all aspects of the Program are being looked at."
>
> Garrick smiles & gives a small laugh. "At least all the aspects that concern him."
>
> "Yes & maybe more. The contents of Ruben Holcomb's Office have been seized by OPS & SPUD in joint investigation."
>
> Garrick smiles & laughs once more. "Like they'd find anything."
>
> "But, sir. Holcomb was the man in charge."
>
> "No. He never was, I just let him think that. Holcomb has always had delusions of grandeur. That's partly was a hired him. Holcomb only ever knew what I needed him to know & in the grand scheme of things wasn't a whole lot."
>
> Garrick says the look of shock on the man's face.
>
> "Go on."
>
> "Y-y-yes. Yes, sir. As you know A Class is dead."
>
> "So? They were Clones, Clones with predestined kill dates. That little incident just saved me for having to do it myself. Was there anything left of them?"
>
> "Yes there was." The man said as placed a large jar on the table. Held inside the jar were what appeared to be the contents on a lava lamp.
>
> "When A Class died their bodies went into the gene coded failsafe & the entire group dissolved into unusable what for lack of no better word: goo."
>
> Garrick shook his head in disbelief & then with a sly smile says, "It's not unusable goo. One just has to know how to work with it.”
>
> “Thank you, sir.”
>
> “Think nothing of it. What do you think we should do with the goo as you called it?”
>
> “Given the state of degradation of the goo, sir. I suggest we dispose of the A Class version 3.0 & start on work on Version 4.0.”
>
> “Excellent.”
>
> As the two men talk, the jar begins to sway slightly back & forth.
>
> “When would they be up & running?”
>
> “Given the work we’ve been doing & aren’t stopped or slowed down by the new president. I’d think we could easily have a new A Class out in the field by early summer. One question, sir?”
>
> “Only one?”
>
> “For now.”
>
> “What is it?”
>
> “Would you like us to use the bases we used for 3.0 in 4.0 or use other bases?”
>
> “How many do you have?”
>
> “At last check which was in the yearly audit we have 6 different perfect team sets made up from the samples in our catalog. 3.0 was using team set 4.”
>
> “What the most hard core team set we have?”
>
> “That would 6, sir.”
>
> “Then use that one.”
>
> “Yes, sir.”
>
> “How is B Class doing?”
>
> “Wasted.”
>
> That answer took Garrick by surprise for a second.
>
> “They’re dead?”
>
> “No. Just drunk. As for I can tell they have been drunk or at least buzzed for 67 % of the time they’ve have collectively been known as B Class.”
>
> “Does this help in missions?”
>
> “No, sir. There have been thoughts of liquidation but B Class sadly are clones.”
>
> “There are other ways of liquidation.”
>
> “We know, sir. But B Class have become minor celebrities. So, the public would be become aware of a any changes we might make.”
>
> “Like they noticed any of the other changes we’ve made over the years.”
>
> “True, sir. But when comes to Celebrities the public are fore some reason more attentive.”
>
> “So, why hasn’t Miss Brandiwyne, their trainer, taken action to correct this?”
>
> “According to her, she’s tried.”
>
> “Not hard enough.”
>
> “Yes, sir.”
>
> “What is the situation on C Class?”
>
> “M.I.A.”
>
> “What?”
>
> “Yes. Given that the people assigned to that case has been B Class the lack of progress is not unheard of.”
>
> “Why are they the leads on that?”
>
> “A Class were the leads but…” The man said as patted the lid of the jar.
>
> Garrick sighed. “So, Holcomb gave it to them?”
>
> “No. They got it by agency policy.”
>
> “Why are they M.I.A.?”
>
> “All currently known locations they have not been seen at: neither at Summer’s apartment or at his girlfriends’ place. They aren’t at where they originally ran off to…”
>
> “Alaska?”
>
> “Yes, sir. We’ve also been keeping wire taps on key associates: family members, neighbors, Senator Rudd, etc.”
>
> Garrick rolls his eyes at the mention of the name.
>
> “Hasn’t he been kicked out yet?”
>
> “No. All the allegations brought up against him have been cleared.”
>
> “I thought the dead hookers would have do it.”
>
> “The hookers or the supposed attempts of selling property rights seemed to have been the most plausible.”
>
> “How are they staying off our radar?”
>
> “All the Intel we are working off for them is from when A Class was tracking them after that it drops off as the case fell in the laps of…”
>
> “B Class.”
>
> “Yes, sir.”
>
> “Hmmm…” Garrick said as stroked his chin thoughtfully.
>
> “Is there anything else that is truly pressing?”
>
> “No, sir. Nothing that isn’t already in the report I handed to you earlier.”
>
> “Thank you. You may leave now.”
>
> “Thank you, sir.” The man said as he was given earplugs, then blindfolded & carried out of the room by to burly gentlemen in leisure suits.
>
> Leaving Garrick alone with his thoughts & the goo that continue to jiggle around in it's jar.

THE END.
