Manchester said "I wouldnt do that miss Houdini. Dracula will get more pussed." He looked at Batman and smiled. "Finally a real mission." He then asked :Wait venom? Like the venom used by Bane? You know the guy who broke your back. " Manchester smirked "Sure Bats we can do this for ya....I think we can handle a steroid luchadore."

Kane noticed the air becoming more hostile as Zatanna entered and took the sword from Vlad. Hesighed with relief when Batman came in ready to assign them a mission

Vladimir snarled and wanted to get into a fight with the witch, but he kept himself from doing that by walking over to a wall and slashing at it which created several long claw marks down the concrete. He was really angry and his eyes were burning red with fury. He didn't speak a word and he bared his fangs in an extremely threatening manner, telling the others to not speak or say anything to him. When he got out of this, he would massacre something to get his anger back down, it probably would be some poor animal but if he wasn't a hero he would have just done it to Zatanna.

---

Finn narrowed his eyes Zatanna and spoke rather harshly, "If you want to continue to act like a little child then you can do it but your actions didn't help at all, next time think with with your head and not with your spells."

This was starting to become like a mess of a team and Finn wasn't sure if Phantom Stranger was smart to have him waste time having to deal with these immature heroes.

Zatanna: "I shall return your toys when you are good…" I say, smiling. Knowing that anything the vampire could think I am, doesn't effect me. I turn to the magician "I did think with my head, but you think magic isn't in my head? It is everywhere, remember that young caster…" I say and then break into laughter "Sorry, that was my dad speaking." I turn to batman and mentally right down the information he tells us.

Batgirl: "Actually, Bane didn't break Batman's back, that was Robin." I say, slightly grinning at the confusion "Also the reason the Island hasn't been investigated…is because it belongs to Bane, and is technically in international waters" I inform my team.

Batman walks into the Zetatube and leaves, trusting we know enough, and can make a plan.

"Recon mission, great I guess I will be sitting this one out then?," Josh said walking over to the wall where Vladimir stood "wonderful weapon by the way, we should have a spar some time, I learned a few tricks on Oa that could use a little work, if you are willing to teach me" he smiled at his undead teammate.

Manchester said "Sounds good Bats." He sat down and began thinking of a plan to do. He said "Hmmm I think I have a plan...anyone want to hear it?"

Kane wondered if they were even ready take on Bane. But from what he saw at CADMUS this may seem easy

Vladimir glared at her and with all of will, said "If my threats have worried then I apologize, but I really would like you to give my sword back, it is very important to me and my family, to take it from is disrespectful to my dead parents and brothers and sister. Please return it to me."

He was surprised that he hadn't just gone in and slashed at her, she was lucky that he had such control thanks to his medieval upbringing, God only knows what modern day vampires would do under this situation. When he heard Manchester say he had a plan, Vladimir also spoke up.

"I have a plan too as well" he said to them.

Finn rolled his eyes and Malkor gave a hiss in Zatanna's direction allowing sparks of electricity escape his mouth.

"Easy there Malkor, don't electrocute our teammates" he said to the little dragon, and Malkor seemed to calm down as he rested on his owner's shoulders.

"Well lets hear them, I'm not getting any younger." Wisp said with a chuckle as he looked at the two who said they had a plan. He floated up side down and placed his hands behind his head in a care free manor.

---

Virgil rolled his eyes at the childish way everyone one was acting he crossed his arms and listened as Batman explained the mission then waited with a raised brow for the two to explain there plans

Batgirl: "Then explain your plans…" I look at the two, wondering what they could have planned. I begin to check my utility belt, making sure i have all my supplies.

Zatanna: I grin "You can have it, when we come up with a plan…" I say, a hug grin on my face as i look between the two "So, what is the plan?"

Manchester said "Well we find the island's power supply and have these two sponges," he refered to Kane and Virgil "And have them investigate. I read the peoples minds to find out where they all are, and then the houdini's can use their to stop the ships." Manchester looked at them all "So what do you think?"

Kane asked "Manchester thats a good plan but how do you expect some of us to not get caught?"

Vladimir listened to Manchester's plan and then gave his own.

"my plan would have Wisp and I sneaking about the area to get an idea of our enemies since both of us can be very discrete thanks to our abilities. And if we ever got in a tight spot then I could have huge swarms of bats invade the enemy base and cause complete confusion which would buy a lot of time to get away" he said to them.

---

Finn heard each plan and had a tough time deciding which one to go with.

"both of your plans sound good, but Vladimir does have a point with him and Wisp possibly being the best for recon missions" he said to his teammates calmly.

"Actually, I can track the venom, my ring can create a scanner or something to look for a key element in the Venom, the only problem is, the green light would attract people from all over." Josh said standing over near Virgil .

Batgirl: "Or we could all go in, quietly and do recon, and not disobey Batman? The team is already on thin ice…" I mutter, angry with these plans.

Zatanna: "Wherever you go, I'm sticking with Batgirl" I say, slightly regretting but she has never gotten me in a jam that we didn't get out of.

Manchester nods but said "And what if one of those bastards find us then were screwed. We can do the quiet mission but we need a plan iof they find us.."

Kane nods at them agreeing with both Batgirl and Manchester.

"I do, I can communicate with bats, if we ever get into a position where we are cornered by our enemies then I will call upon a legion of the creatures of the night and swarm the area with them. I am almost sure that any guard would be terrified of having hundreds of bats attack him" Vladimir said in reply to Manchester.

---

"That sounds like a good plan, now I say we get going and do our job" Finn said to the others as Malkor rested on his shoulders.

Batgirl: "Except Bane's people, they would not be afraid, in fact they would think Batman has come…so they would get Bane and kill us…" I explain, still typing stuff into my arm computer.

"It still would offer a good distraction since it's hard to focus when hundreds of bats are flying in your face" Vladimir replied to Batgirl.

---

Finn was getting impatient and said, "How about we discus while on our way there? So let's get a move on."

Kane nods and began walking to the ship. "are you guys ready?" Kane asked walking into the shjip. He was ready to prove himself to the team

Manchester nods at them and said "Alright lads and lasses lets get going before we die of old age. Though that wont happen to Dracula or Casper."

Batgirl: "And maybe not Kane, he might not ever die along as he has a constant source of energy…" I say before looking at Vladimir "Okay Putin, and what if there aren't any Bats left on the island? What if Bane and his men killed them all?" I ask, smiling

"That is most unlikely for two reasons, one, they would waste a good amount of time doing such a task when they could be focusing on making this venom that Batman talked about, and two, they would have no real reason too since as I have already said, it would unnecessary and from what I have heard from other vampires Bane and his allies haven't had any encounters with vampires, and even if they did they don't know about our team's existence. So I would conclude that only an extremely cowardly worm would be that paranoid about bats, in which case it would make our job much easier if they are that scared of bats, and if this Bane is as tough as you say he is then I don't think he would be afraid. Also the tropical bats would live from the base and would mostly remain unseen by the henchmen" Vladimir explained to Batgirl.

"Also I know of this Putin you speak of, and I'm of far more nobler and greater blood than that fool" he said with a firm voice.

---

Finn was waiting at the entrance of the ship, hoping that the others would follow soon so that they could get going.

(Wait, Yog, how does he know about the Cobra Venom? They don't know about it until they get to the island! Remember? Batman just said Venom. And they don't know that Bane isn't in control or that Cobra is there.)
