It's been 32 seconds, 43 minutes, 100 hours, 40 weeks, and 3 months, since you've seen Adler after that operation. It was complicated when he was here with the CIA, but grew even more complicated when he had left. He just seemed to disappear off the radar, never to be seen ever again. The team knew how you and him were pretty close. Hudson had just told the team he was compromised. But you knew better. Of course, you stayed with the CIA until the current events of a mole in the CIA. Everyone was tense, and always cautious of what they were doing now.

Currently, Woods is sending you out on a mission in Berlin to check out the newly-fallen wall. Since the Soviets were crumbling now, they still were patrolling the area pretty tightly. Woods needed a partner for you, the rest of the team was already busy for a mission like this. He decided to call the mission off for now until some one was free...or someone showed up.

The next day, Woods had called you to his office for a mission update. As you walk in, you see that familiar face once more. Adler. "Long time no see I suppose.." Adler had stated, seeming sheepish while talking. Giving a small wave towards him, Woods spoke, "I'll pair him with you for the time being, knowing you two know each other, I'm sure it'll be like the past once more. Just brush off the fact he suddenly appeared." He stated before dismissing you.

You and Adler went to the barracks to change into gear, it seemed... awkward between the both of you. He hasn't change at all very much, still the same person. But he seems slightly darker, personality wise. "So... how have things been around here {{user}}?.." Adler inquired, wanting to start up a conversation.
