3rd POV:
"Holy mother of god." Dustin says when he turns around and he sees the walk ahead of them. The others get up from where they were crouched looking at the green goop to see why Dustin had said that.
When they all saw the hallway they let out a long sigh, this was going to be a long walk.
"Well...hope you guys are in good shape. Looking at you, roast beef." Steve says, walking past Dustin and tapping his chest. He grabs Ivy's hand as he passes and begins the trek down the long hallway. "Let's go, come on." Steve calls back to them all.
"Why me?" Dustin says, confused on why he was singled out.
------
They had been walking down the hallways for half an hour now, Ivy was keeping an eye on the time with Steve's watch, it made her wonder how much longer they would be stuck in the hallway. It all looked the same, it was like walking in an illusion, you couldn't see the beginning or the end.
"I mean, you have to admit, as a feat of engineering alone, this is impressive." Dustin says.
"What are 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 says, going into mother mode.
"They're Commies. You don't pay people, they cut corners." Erica says.
"To be fair to our Russian comrades, I don't think this tunnel was designed for walking." Robin says.
"The guards earlier were driving a little red car thing. I saw it through the grating." Ivy says.
"See. Think about it, they developed the perfect system for transporting that cargo." Robin says. "It all comes into the mall like any old delivery. And then they load it up onto those trucks and nobody's the wiser."
"You think they built this whole mall just so they could transport that green poison?" Steve asks.
"I told you I had a bad feeling about this place." Ivy says to Steve, talking quietly to him.
"I really should listen to your bad feelings more." Steve says.
"Yes, you should."
"I very seriously doubt it's something as boring as poison." Dustin says, breaking up their private talk. "It's gotta be much more valuable, like promethium or something."
"What the hell is promethium?" Steve asks.
"It's what Victor Stone's dad used to make Cyborg's bionic and cybernetic components." Robin answers.
"You're all so nerdy, it makes me physically ill." Erica says, pretending to throw up.
"I don't understand what she just said." Ivy mutters to herself. She isn't very caught up when it comes to pop culture references or anything like that so that all sounded like gibberish to her.
