Giving a wave as a silent farewell to the departing Team Omega, Roe breathed in the lush smell of nature and wandered on the viridescent expanse of grass. Her vibrant scarlet hair was parted into a small braid and fluttered loosely as a gentle breeze cradled her steady, yet brisk, movements in an attempt to catch up with her teammates. A straggler. The duo of words had her up in flames of hate. Memories of her mother only brought rage to her heart and with little effort, she shoveled the thought away into the back of her mind, in hope to never come across it again.

Eyes adrift like the pale clouds in the azure sky above her head, she listened intently to the conversations chorusing back and forth, waiting in anticipation for the right moment for her to pipe up an idea or suggestion. But to her dismay, the moment didn’t seem to arrive as quickly as she expected. Slight uncertainty tainted her urge to approach one of the surrounding individuals and with the grace of a swan, Roe let her gaze briefly dance to the fluttering birds, who reciting their melodies into the morning sky. Their feathers were weaved gently in the branches over head, and she admired the creatures in unfamiliar silence.

Urging her slender legs in the direction of the Twodor woman nearby, Roe sauntered closer to the young woman and tapped her lightly on her shoulder. “Rose.” The greeting was sweet on her tongue and she didn’t hold back her next words. “If I may ask, how do you feel about this mission?’

Atlanta Hunter
Commander of the Phoenix Squad
Tags: Demetria, mentions others

The commander observed her squadmates, listening as they discussed plans and ideas. Calypso had suggested an amusing plan of attack to an enthusiastic-seeming Arys. Brenn was brainstorming how to use his powers, while Roselle approached Rose to ask about the mission at large. Some ways off, Keelan seemed to be introducing herself to Onyx. Good, good... maybe the lively acrobat could coax Keelan out of her shell.
A few of the other recruits, such as Robin, Cujo, and Leo, were following along in silence. Quinn led the crew on by his lonesome. Atlanta would have accompanied him, had she not been positioned at the very back of the group.
At her adopted sister's familiar voice, the commander turned with a warm smile. "Hi, Demetria. Well rested since last mission I hope?" She ruffled the girl's hair affectionately.

Gavotte Tenuto
Water manipulation
Tags: Jen, Team Alpha/Beta

Gavotte chuckled at Quinn's amusing antics. The brunette once wished he could be that confident, able to spontaneously stand up and assert himself as a leader. But last mission had been eye-opening, and Gav was more certain of his role within the Phoenix Squad now. He was a mediator, a supporter, someone who helped from behind the front lines.
Last mission had been eye-opening. Unaccompanied by any backup, Gav had been the first to encounter the traitor. He only escaped with his life because the others arrived in time. The looks on their faces were still fresh in his mind.
To Gavotte's surprise, Jen reached out and squeezed his hand, vowing to always protect him. The gesture sent a fresh heat to his cheeks. It was nice to see this side of the Fire Girl, the warmth hidden by her dangerous exterior.
"Ah, thank you Jen... I'll always look out for you, too," Gavotte's voice was barely louder than a whisper, but at least it didn't crack. "As for water, nothing seems to have changed. I think I recognize those rocks from the map, though?"
They were drawing close to an odd-looking rock formation. Several boulders lay in a crumbled pile, as if a giant had scooped them up and placed them there. Unsure, he glanced at the rocks, then back at Jen with a bashful smile.

Ardai Fairchild
Shadow puppets
Tags: Team Omega

Freyja was sharp as ever, explaining the logic behind either decision. She had provided the logical reasoning Ardai could never come up with. The prankster gave her an enthusiastic thumbs-up (he finally remembered not to yell).
"Thanks for that, Freyja. I think we're pretty safe though," the redhead ventured, grinning. "These people look real fancy, and I don't think they wanna scuff up their suits with a fight."
Ardai smiled almost apologetically then, tucking a strand of loose red hair behind his ear. He hoped he wasn't being too argumentative. "But, uh... I'll go with whatever you guys decide."

[Stumpy.]

Robin had fallen towards the side of the group, walking on her own as well. While she was enjoying the scenic view, she still couldn't help but feel a creeping vine of loneliness curling up her back. It's fine. These missions aren't about being buddy-buddy, it's about getting everyone their powers back, and making everything better again. Still, Robin couldn't help but feel a bit melancholy. Sure, she had a few friends, but she'd never really gone out of her way to be friendly with most of the group.
Still, she couldn't help but wonder why she'd never actually striven to be more friendly with her teammates, besides the select few she had become close to.

Quinn hadn't noticed until now that their resident medic had decided to join team alpha. It was good to have the medic on site given what happened last mission. Although he hadn't been in either of the teams with the most trouble, Gavotte getting caught and Caleb dying, he was aware of what happened and was all to conscious of the possibility this mission.Though the mission itself was fairly straightforward and they were only up against one person there still was that slim possibility of someone getting injured and needing medical attention. While he was fairly certain that they would be fine he hoped that should anyone get injured it was him and not anyone else. He had seen the way the other had reacted to the news about Gavotte and Caleb and he didn't want that to happen again. With that thought he glanced over at the water bender, he would have to ensure that they didn't get injured this mission. The squad wouldn't be able to handle he knew that for sure. Casting his gaze further back he spotted Atlanta at the back of the pack, it was were he had originally aimed to go but well he was the leader now he supposed. That hadn't actually been his goal at the beginning of all of this but it just happened. With a small shake of his head he allowed his gaze to flicker back over the group taking note of those who were sticking to themselves and those that were grouped together. He would have to make an effort to get to know those who weren't connecting very well. Making note of those individuals he returned his gaze to the path in front of him. One of their markings was coming up, surprisingly it wasn't all that hard to find. As they passed it he pulled up a mental image of the next marker and kept walking. Hopefully Gavotte would be able to sense the waterfall soon since he wasn't sure if all the markings would be as obvious as that one.

"I don't want to split up." Albin grit his teeth. "Aradi is right though, they won't want to get too dirty..." He'd met an Onetian in the past, and that was a very accurate description of them. Still, the idea of going off alone in the unfamiliar place was very unappealing.

Rose Sunshine-Lesbian-Twodor- Talking To animals- Team Beta

“Sounds Good,” Rose waves as the girl walks off. Rose kept up walking with the group. Rose turned to Roe seeing her walk up and start to walk with her. Rose pondered over the question as she walked. Her eyes looked around at the others as she spoke, “I feel good, like we are doing something good Roe.” Rose glanced at the people who were walking alone. Them back to her walking buddy, listening to the birds, not focusing on what they were saying but just listening. She spotted the first marker and nodded, “How about you?”

Leon Nightstaker-Pansexaul- Ninon-Light Bending- Team Alpha,Cujo

Leo walked off to one side of the group not so close he couldn’t speak to them but just away from them. Leo watched the medic Cujo, they hadn’t had much chance to interact but he knew that was one member of the team that couldn’t get hurt. Leo stepped closer to the boy, “Hello.” Leo said this was a greeting and a warning. Leo walked closer, “ Your the medic right Cujo”

"i am as deadly as fire itself."

Jen gave Gav a firm nod, "Certainly looks familiar. And, I believe I see the next landmark behind it. Isn't that the tree they mentioned?" She outstretched a single, nimble finger towards the towering oak tree. The base was somewhat hollowed out and wide in size. "Hey, we found two of the landmarks," Jen remarked to the group, gesturing forward. "Good eye, Gav," she added, her voice low. She recalled what was after that, a bunch of black-eyed Susans'. It was a rather common wildflower. Based on the map though, it was still some distance away. She accelerated her stride, peering around suspiciously. Jennifer wouldn't doubt that Alastair had been anticipating the group and perhaps prepared a surprise attack. Her grip tightened instinctively. Jen would not allow herself to play prey. She was the huntress, she was the predator. Not he and the man that left her calling to her flames, eager to burn him and his kingdom down. She wanted to watch it go down in flames, with him at the center of it. For all that he had done. To her, and every other innocent soul. Their families and friends ripped away from them. Just the thought of it all left her cold eyes narrowed further and teeth grinding. She would grant the Emperor no mercy. I'm coming. The final angry thought formulated in her head.

"who says you can't wear a flower crown and still remain a fearsome thing?"

Demetria fixed her hair with a grin, looking up at her older sister as she answered. "For sure, let's just hope this one doesn't go... downhill." She mumbled the last part, peering down. She trusted the group, or, most of them, but this was a huge weight on her and everyone else's shoulders. One wrong move and they were toast. While none of the missions made room for failure, this one really didn't. "I'm gonna go chat with Arys, she looks rather lonely," Demetria added sometime after, bidding her older sister goodbye with a quick wave. Moving forward, the silver-haired female went ahead and greeted her as she fell into step with her. "Hey Arys, you okay? You look nervous." She inquired quietly, trying not to attract attraction as it may make her friend's current situation worse.

He raised his brows a little upon being approached, taking a brief moment to look Leon over and properly size up the male before he responded verbally to the inquiry. Brushing off the casualness of the other's speech, he gave a small nod before continuing on to talk. "Yes, and you would be... Leon, if i'm recalling names correctly?" Cujo kept himself neutral for the time being, unsure of how the other was going to act or if anything was needed, in fact, he was about to question motives in a moment. "Was there perhaps something you needed?"

xxxxCassiopeia went on to quietly listen to the conversation around her, only slowing her pace to a stop, and butting in once the idea of separation was brought up. "If it's all the same to you-" Cassiopeia says, sounding rather awkward in her attempt at not sounding so eerie. "I'd rather stay together. " Cassiopeia then continues walking, scratching Tholomew as he caws happily.

xxxxCalypso had very quickly grown bored of the plane, leaning back into her seat and stretching her wings out either way to make room for her back before folding them at her sides. That wolf chick seemed pretty pleased with her idea, so Calypso leaned over and said,"Have you got any weapons on you? If not you could always like, spontaneously grow claws and growl at him. I dunno, just thinking up more ways to scare him. Unless you got a better idea."

Caleb Oxenbera——————————
♠︎ // Phoenix Squad Recruit // Beast Summoning // Tags: team omega (Rose mentioned)

Caleb listened to Freyja’s words after considering Ardai’s suggestion. It was obvious that the redhead had an ulterior motive, but it certainly wasn’t malicious. And knowing Ardai it was probably a ploy to let himself off the leash of Onetian society. “Freyja’s right, we are not very... inconspicuous right now. But these streets all look very familiar and I’m afraid we could lose each other. I could always give whatever team I’m not on a bird like I usually do, but...” his eyes flickered over to the raven perched atop Cassiopeia’s shoulder. Would another bird really attract more or less attention?

Albin’s insight was very much like Caleb’s own indecisiveness, and as a decision was not clearly being proposed, the teen’s heart sank at the thought of himself taking charge. “Hm, well...” Caleb cleared his throat before speaking up again. “From what I have read about convenience stores, it does not usually take a lot of time to choose what you want. Plus if only a part of our group went, we wouldn’t know what to get the rest of you. I say we stick together, we all get something, purchase them together, and leave to find a park or something.” There were an abundance of green spaces in Delra’s capital, so it wouldn’t be hard to find one. On the flip side, had they split up, then the convenience store group would likely spend the entire rest of their free time trying to find the park the other group chose. Even with another of Caleb’s summoned songbirds, Oneta lacked the blatant individuality of Fivana.

The dark haired boy took a deep breath, then closed his eyes as he awaited the approval or disapproval of the rest of the party. While it might have appeared that he closed his eyes in anxiety, though, Caleb was actually returning to the consciousness of the sparrow on Rose’s shoulder. It let out a surprised chirp as the boy realised that everyone had started walking and quickly caught his balance. It didn’t appear as if the animal medium had noticed him just yet, and while she was talking to someone else, Caleb decided to try his hand at making himself known.

“Rose! It’s Caleb. The bird here on your shoulder, I mean.” Caleb hesitantly thought, the words coming out of the bird’s beak as what sounded to him like normal sparrow sounds. He probably should have tried to talk to her through his summoned animals during training...

Not wanting to completely leave his focus on where his actual body was, the recruit opened up one eye to look around at the rest of team Omega.

Onyx Carriado——————————
♣︎ // Phoenix Squad Recruit // Acrobat // Tags: team beta, Theodora > Keelan

Onyx stayed near Theodora and her cat as the group started off, eager to see the cat transform despite the fact that the two groups would likely break off before then. Considering what the other recruit had said about making the cat larger, the acrobat assumed she was on team alpha. Onyx grinned to themself at the thought of them being on team Alpha. Onyx being intimidating seemed as far fetched as seeing a Onetian in Fivana, despite their guardian’s reminder that they would’ve been in a Sixney gang had she not taken them in. Luckily for Onyx, they were talented in ignoring her.

The dark-haired Phoenix squad member’s footsteps hastened a bit as those leading the charge started to point out geographic markers on the map. Onyx was normally one to follow the beat of their own drum, allow their legs to take them where they were meant to be. In this particular instance, however, their mission felt a lot more exciting- like a treasure hunt except the “treasure” was a prince they were going to capture. This excitement dulled a bit as they heard someone approaching from behind. Curiosity got the best of the feline-resembling teen and before Keelan could speak up, Onyx turned so they were walking backwards.

“Nope. Not unless I need to devote all my attention to walking, anyway.” The edges of Onyx’s violet eyes crinkled as they shot the girl a playful grin. They took her outstretched hand and gave it one, dutiful shake. “Oh, I’ve seen you. And not seen you. You’re the invisible girl, aren’t you?” They inquired with a tilt of their head. Their hand had been brought back to sit thoughtfully on their chin as their other one was hidden in a pocket. Onyx was easily bored, and though they were often napping or trying to bother someone, their lounging spaces were strategically placed for different intended outcomes. One of these places was, in fact, up the wall of the training area, where the acrobat kept track of certain abilities their teammates had. Keelan so happened to have caught their attention (mostly out of curiosity), as she seemed to turn invisible sometimes without even meaning to at times.

As Onyx awaited confirmation their backwards walking caused them to get caught off guard by a root that caught their heel. Instead of being very phased though, there was a momentary look of surprise before the recruit did some dancer’s twirl with their feet to place them evenly on the ground past the obstacle. “Huh, guess I should start actually watching my step...” Onyx’s lips twisted into a cat-like smile of amusement.
