Atlanta Hunter
Commander of the Phoenix Squad
Tags: Robin, Calypso

Atlanta raised her eyebrows, impressed with Robin's graceful catch. "Looks like your sharp ferret senses appear in human form, too," She chuckled. It was somewhere between a joke and a genuine wondering - did Robin's other form ever influence her everyday life?
The commander briefly glanced over the gathering group, not wanting to single out Jen directly. She and Gavotte were already stepping outside their usual roles by taking initiative as leaders.
A few conversations were still going on, most notably Calypso and Keelan. The latter was still upset over an off-handed teasing comment Onyx had made. Spirited Calypso seemed a great choice to come to, and she was already making an ears joke to lighten the mood. Atlanta covertly flashed the fae a smile of approval.

Albin reassuringly took Aradi's hand, sighing slightly at the prospect of leaving. How much longer would he have to be here? It wasn't that he disliked Oneta, it was just...different. If he was coming here on different circumstances, he'd probably enjoy it a lot more than this. At least he had his friends with him.

Keelan-Rose Major

The corners of Keelan's mouth twitched upward at the pun on Calypso's heightened senses. She turned her face towards the ground and shoved her hands in the pockets of her sweats. "Okay, so, pretty much Onyx and I got into a fight. I told them about my power, and then I told them about my lack of control. I could see them think about whether or not they should do something, and then they started waving their arms around and telling me I was like an octopus. I mean, I guess I was kind of rude too, talking about how they don't really have that much of a power, but they really hurt me and I wasn't thinking straight, I was just seeing red, and now I want to apologize but I don't want them to think I'm weak..." Hot tears were now streaming down the girl's face, like the waterfall they're trying to find. Keelan tries to take a few deep breaths, but they catch in her throat, the sobs coming in like a missile. She rapidly swipes at her eyes, trying to get the tears to stop falling, but they refuse to, instead falling faster. Keelan apologizes rapidly, looking down to Calypso, with a half year more experience at life than Keels, and asks her, "What should I do?"

At the mention of the two's telekinesis, Arys suddenly has a vision of Naevys and Quinn hurling twigs and rock at the prince from afar. "Quinn, you and Naevys can just like fling rock and twigs at him from afar. Imagine his face when he sees floating sticks coming for him!" She can't help but laugh at the image. Flinging sticks is far from scary in her opinion, but at least it could spur the prince into moving elsewhere. "Really, though, it maybe a good way to get him moving. I wouldn't want to stay and hold my ground if objects were flying toward me."
Arys looks toward Jen and Gav as they call team Alpha and Beta together to make a game plan. "I think that's a good idea, guys!" She tells them, flashing a smile of encouragement. It isn't like either of them to talk to more than a few people at a time, so for both of them to be taking charge and gathering the group together is huge. Arys is proud of her friends for stepping out of their comfort zones, even if she can clearly tell that they don't like it. Well, one of them. Jen is her ususal calm and composed self, but Gav looks a little like he's just been thrown into a lake without learning how to swim, which is pretty ironic considering he can manipulate water.
The werewolf decides to voice her ideas, rather than let Gav suffer. "I definitely think Team Beta should have a pre-established spot so that Alpha knows where they're going when they're attacking the prince," She starts, "And maybe Alpha could be organised into two different waves? Like, the more hands-on fighters and up-front like me and Dem could charge him--" She gestures at her and the dragon-shifter, assuming she'd want to be on the front line, "And then the long distance people can be just behind the tree line or shielded so he doesn't know who's firing what or from where? I think it could be a way to overwhelm him. Arys knows it could be a little offencive to label people specifically as short distance or long-distance, especially since a lot of the people on the team could be both, and she hopes she didn't offend anyone. She tried to make it as general as possible without mentioning people except for her and Dem, who she was at least fairly sure would be charging Alastair with her, but the knot of anxiety in her stomach won't let her shake the feeling that she may have crossed a line.

Brenn was glad the other two thought his plan for his own role in the kidnapping would work, their abilities were the only certainty and having some sort of plan made the whole thing slightly less terrifying. He nodded enthusiastically at Gavotte's suggestion of how they could work together. Each of them could do fine alone, but when they teamed up they were a whole lot more effective. From a little way away he heard Onyx's voice become clearer in conversation with Theo as they complimented Brenn's ability. The acrobat could always find a way to boost his mood without even speaking to him directly, and Brenn couldn't help but smile.

He was happy to follow Quinn when Atlanta gave the go-ahead to start their journey through the woods. Quinn was friends with Onyx and, though they'd not spoken loads, Brenn was happy to place his trust in anyone his friend liked. As they began to walk through the forest, Jen approached to walk besides Gavotte. That wasn't unusual, the pair were as thick as thieves, but discretely Brenn dropped back in the group. The pair were so close that listening in always felt like an intrusion. Besides, though he'd prefer not to admit that he was scared of Jen, the ice-wielder was no match for fire. Being in close proximity to a flame was enough to make him feel like his skin was being singed and heat could rapidly drain his willpower, leaving him temporarily powerless, tired and dehydrated. Jen's fierce temper combined with her fiery abilities made Brenn nervous, always worried that she'd produce flame without warning, so he tended to limit his contact with her, despite feeling slightly guilty about whether this made him seem rude or unpleasant.

He didn't mind walking alone too much, since Onyx was talking to Keelan and everyone else seemed to be mid-conversation, and carefully noted the memorised landmarks as he passed them. It gave him a moment to consider how insane the prospect of kidnapping the crown prince of Delra was. He allowed the anxiety to sweep over him now, just for a few moments, rather than later when there certainly wouldn't be any time to freeze up and feel afraid. He couldn't afford to make any mistakes this time, there could be no more Calebs jumping in front of him. His few moments of worry were cut short by the sound of a raised voice from up ahead. From the sound of it, Jen had made some comment on Quinn's leadership and he hadn't been afraid to defend himself. Or at least, he hadn't been afraid when he started to talk, once he'd finished saying his piece he rapidly moved to joined Demetria and Arys. Brenn took the cue from him and again dropped back a little further from Jen, slightly concerned she'd burst into flames in fury or something along those lines. This allowed him to catch sight of Onyx, still talking to Keelan, who appeared to be wiggling their arms around in some bizarre motion. Somehow nothing captured Onyx so perfectly as that strange wiggling

The sound of the river quickly snuck up on him. One second he heard nothing but the rustling of the trees and the next, shortly after Onyx had excitedly mentioned water, the bubbling of water was overpowering the other noises of the forest. Then Jen called them all over, her voice clear yet not loud enough to disturb anything, or anyone, in the surrounding area. Brenn rejoined them, listening carefully to everyone's ideas. It was definitely smart to plan before they got any further, though Alastair's unknown power meant improvisation would be likely they still had to make sure the two separating teams were on the same wavelength.
"That sounds like a good idea." Brenn responded to Arys' suggestion of preplanning Team Beta's location. "Most of the forest looks pretty similar so we should choose somewhere distinctive. Perhaps if we find somewhere besides the river." Now that he'd thought about it, a site by the river seemed ideal. "It'll give Gavotte and I plenty of water to work with and should cut off one direction of the Prince's escape."

Quinn chuckled at the idea of flinging sticks at the prince, it didn't seem all that scary to him but it was an amusing idea non the less. He had an idea of what he was going to do, stand back and let the others freak out the prince and then he would send arrows at the prince to get them to go the way he wanted them to go. He was pulled from those amusing thoughts when he heard Demertia say something. He grinned wildly at the idea of the prince pooping their pants because of a dragon. "Not gonna lie if I didn't know you and you turned into a dragon and roared in my face I would probably piss my pants" he joked right back. He would have said something else but she seemed to get distracted by something else. He didn't have time to figure out what had distracted his traveling companion because a familiar voice spoke up next to him. Turning his gaze upon his fellow sixney and good friend he noticed something off right away. His usual smirk faded ever so slightly as he took in the expression on the acrobat's face, it seemed that something was bothering them. With a huge grin he flung his arm over his friend shoulder and pulled them in for a one armed hug. "Yeah of course! We have to discus our plans that we had been working on earlier anyways" he chirped. It wasn't true, they hadn't come up with any plans earlier but it was a good excuse for them to walk alone. Something told him that his friend wanted to speak to him alone. As he started to move away from the small group he had only just joined he heard Gavotte's voice and perked up. It was a small 'uhm' but it was Gavotte's voice non the less. Turning to face the front of the group he zeroed in on the water bender. It seemed that they were calling the group together. Shifting his glance over to Onyx he shot them an apologetic grin. "It seems out illustrious leader is calling for us. It would be a bit rude not to go over. But we need to talk after" he said cheerfully while giving the acrobat a knowing look. He wasn't going to let this go any time soon. Then he started over to the group that had started to form around Gavotte and Jennifer, not that he was really paying attention to Jennifer, his gaze was riveted on Gav.

Aisling was pleased to find that her taking Ardai's hand had given her friend strength, the small squeeze had informed her that she had done the right thing. Raising the confidence in her friend had been her end goal. Following Ardai's example she reached back with her free hand and touched Albin's shoulder reassuringly. She couldn't grab his hand since she assumed that he would reach for Ardai's hand and that would be awkward for all of them. Refraining from looking up at her friend she forced herself to keep her eyes trained on the doctor, it wasn't that she didn't trust him she just wanted to keep up her ruse. She didn't have to worry so much though since the doctor chuckled at their comments and it seemed like they were just being a good citizen. As far as she could tell there wasn't anything to worry about. At the crest fallen tone that colored the doctors voice ever so slightly she found herself with the need to help them. She opened her mouth to say something but they were at the convenience store. Her gaze flickered to the immaculate convenience store. Somehow she knew that even a place like this would be clean and neat and soothing to look at. At the sound of Caleb's voice she pulled her gaze away from the store she looked up at the doctor with big eyes. Her father had once told her that when she was sad she seemed to have this ability to turn her eyes into shimmering pools of sadness. It wasn't really a gift or a true power and she wasn't honestly sure if it was true since only her father told her about it. However she now attempted to turn this gaze upon the doctor. If it failed well it wasn't a huge deal. As she sent her puppy eyes at the doctor she listened to Caleb it seemed that her fellow ally had similar thoughts about the doctor. As soon as they finished talking she took up the mantle. "You must miss them a lot. If they are anything like you doctor they must be a very good person. Hopefully I get to meet them one day and I hope that they get some time to come visit you" she said sweetly. Pulling gently on Ardai's hand she motioned at the convenience store before pausing and looking back over at the doctor. "Thank you for guiding us this far we really appreciate it. I think I know where we are now so I should be able to guide everyone back to the school" she told the doctor with that same sweet voice that was starting to make her stomach churn.

"i am as deadly as fire itself."

Enough of the team had acknowledged them to begin. Gavotte spoke first despite the tremble in his voice. Ideas were soon being passed around, Arys being one of the most notable suggestions, her gaze honed in on the wolf shifter. "An established spot would be effective," Jennifer acknowledged in approval. Brenn was next to speak, "Yes, perhaps if we see a distinctive sort of flora?" She'd wanted to avoid anything that had the potential to become problematic, such as a "unique rock" or tree. Whether or not the others agreed with her proposal was to be determined. "There are far too many outcomes though, and this is the Prince we're speaking of. There's the possibility he knows we're coming. We shouldn't all come in at once as Arys said. Wave one could be a select few volunteers, who will test the waters. Wave two comes in once it's ensured all is safe. Although I do believe it would also be in our best interest to have some that are handy with long-range weapons or able to use their powers in such a manner up in the trees. That way if both waves fail, there's some form of backup along with team Beta. Remember, we know very little about him. Cujo, you're instrumental here. Especially if the plan does go wrong as I have suggested. We'll need you out on the field healing while those in the trees and team Beta hold the Prince off and hopefully capture him. Beta, in the event of a crisis, you guys will need to work accordingly. If you can't capture and need to flee, do so. Otherwise, you'll be wave three, once he's reached the rendezvous point one of you cuff him. I'll leave it up to you guys to determine who this is. Now, waves, Alpha lets discuss who'll be in one and two. Arys, I'm assuming you'd like to be in one? Demetria, perhaps two for you, as it'll put him into an even further state of shock."

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

Now the planning had begun, one after another people built off of the other's idea. She was glad to see most were in agreement. A specific area was awfully smart, Alpha had to know where they were going to avoid a disaster. While she liked Arys suggestion, after hearing Jen's elaborate plan, she gave a firm shake of her head. "Good point, I'll be in the second wave." While it probably hadn't mattered, either way, the more shaken up the Prince was, the easier this would be. As long as Jen's other proposition didn't come true, and their whole gimmick went to waste after the revelation he was aware.

Perking up at the sound of Arys' idea he glanced over at the werewolf and offered her a wide grin, he liked the idea. It was smart and well thought out and while it wasn't super in depth it was exactly the kind of plan they were looking for. He opened his mouth to say something but Brenn beat him to it and then he was interrupted yet again. At the sound of Jennifer's voice Quinn suddenly understood, Gavotte wasn't leading it seemed Jennifer had decided to actually lead. Not that he could really see someone like her leading them seeing as she tended to be rude and dismissive of almost everyone. It wasn't someone he really wanted leading them. Turning his gaze upon Jennifer his usual smirk was in place, the difference was the coldness that was in his eyes. Folding his arms across his chest he kept his gaze riveted on her as she started to explain her idea, which was basically Arys' idea while somehow being less concise and more confusing. However he wasn't a jerk and so he let her finished up with this convoluted plan of hers. Once she was done he took a few steps forward, for some reason he wasn't afraid anymore. She had skills with the bow and with fire but that was it. That's all she had going for her, her mean attitude had made sure of that. "So and correct me if I am wrong here Jennifer but your plan is exactly the same as Arys' just with more words and much less to the point. Also her plan left a lot more choice in the matter, you just spent that whole time ordering us around like you think your better than us. I'm sorry but that's not very leader like. Especially since from what I could infer from what you muttered about me under your breath you didn't like my leadership this is a lot worse. A good leader harbors enough respect for those that follow them that they don't just take someone else's ideas and try and pretend like they are their own" he said bluntly. This could cause some back lash but he was sick of her attitude and the way she treated them all. Despite the waves it may cause he honestly hoped that it might jar some sense into them.

"i am as deadly as fire itself."

Jen had enough. She neared Quinn, looking down upon him. Sparks flickered at her fingertips. She had done her best to ignore him, yet he continued to push her buttons. "You want to play leader? Go ahead. I never said I did, I just got sick of you babbling on when no one was paying any mind to you. Someone had to speak up eventually though so we could get a plan going, and Gavotte did, I just continued it. I didn't discredit Arys' idea, in fact, I very clearly mentioned it. All I did was elaborate on it. Not once did I say any of it had to be followed, either. You're more than welcome to do whatever you please, and screw everyone else up because you're butthurt over a comment I made. I dropped it, yet you continue to antagonize me." Her lips drew back, revealing her teeth. Blue irises had given way to crimson. She was seething with an untamed fury that begged to be released. It took all her strength to will herself to withhold it and take it out on the battlefield. "Now, do you care to actually say something worthwhile?" She growled.

Onyx Carriado——————————
♣︎ // Phoenix Squad Recruit // Acrobat // Tags: team beta, team alpha

Onyx looked gratefully to Brenn and Quinn, their smiles helping their own feel a little more genuine. “Thank you, I-“ the raven-haired recruit quieted down as Jen spoke up, both holding respect to the fire-wielder and also hesitant to share the situation. It was the perfect excuse to withhold it after all, and Onyx had never been in a hurry to express their concerns. They gave a playful smile despite not being in the mood to. “Duty calls, and it’s nothing serious.” They waved the issue off. A bit of their words rang true, after all- a trivial relationship problem was little in the grand scheme of things, even with their reputation as the Phoenix Squad.

Onyx listened intently as Jennifer, Arys, and Gav spoke up about a general layout, which Quinn interjected into a little bit. The acrobat was a little confused as to what had happened to spur the aggressive comments between their friend and someone Onyx could describe as an ally on the field. Because of their lack of information they didn’t feel as though they had reason to butt in, however they did have a lot of practice in diverting attention.

“I’d like to be the one to cuff Alastair.” Onyx spoke up seriously. Passion flickered in their eyes, something a little different from when they had made the request at the beginning. For the first time in a while their face did not have its signature easy-going softness, and as they voiced their bold wish a glance was sent Keelan’s way. The recruit had grown a little insecure about the lasting comment and meant to do this job- with or without the ability they might have had. “So long as his attention isn’t entirely placed on me, I know I can do it. And I’ll trust the rest of you on team Beta to fix it... if something happens to me.”

This sent a violet glance to Brenn with a new look of sympathy. Onyx hated phrasing it that way especially after all that had happened to their close friend on the last mission, but it had slipped out without their consideration of the words. Plus it was correct- even if one of them fell, the rebellion would have to go on. Their focus moved back to not the two that had dominated the small meeting, Jen and Quinn, but to Gavotte, as Onyx nodded. “I am fine taking on a position alone in the trees so long as the area behind me is covered in the case the prince tries anything and escapes my initial ambush.” They assure, trying to mentally hype themself up before they all took action.
