The short aircraft ride was a source of relief for Thorn who had nearly jumped out of the cruiser before it left the base after overhearing Madcap's comments to Jaymi. He was still in disbelief that Warpath had essentially openly defied Fenrir and then here he was on the aircraft throwing out plans. The League had obviously put Fenrir in charge for one reason or another and it was not their place to doubt that. Fenrir would have a plan in store for them, he had years of experience after all. Looking over at the hardlight puppy that Juno had manifested for Belle, Thorn inwardly smiled, the act of actually producing a physical one upon his 'face' was more difficult and not something he usually concerned himself with. The lack of physical emotions made him seem distant at times, and Thorn truly resented that but he had come to terms with his lost humanity. Nodding his approval to Juno as she took her seat again, Thorn leaned back in his seat, vines extending from his back further tying him to the seat.

The sudden outburst from the team's resident pyromaniac alerted Thorn's to his prescence. There was a part of the plantoid that agreed with Johnny but that wasn't the team's mission parameters. They were to protect Luthor at all costs no matter how much he deserved to meet his fate by a hanging tree. Nodding at the wolfman upon recieving his orders to act in a support role, Thorn noted that Belle hadn't been issued any orders which meant Fenrir had no intention of putting her in the field. This was a good decision, she could learn and spar with the team at home, but supervillains wouldn't show any restraint. Belle deserved to live long enough to enjoy her life, not to be used as a child soldier. 

Helping his teammates through the roof hatch as he extended his body down, Thorn shrunk down to a small size to conserve his nutrients while the group moved through the facility. The next few moments flew by as the next thing Thorn saw was Fenrir hit the floor. Barely having time to react as Jack came towards him, Thorn realized there was no way that his natural armor would stop the blades. Pumping his body full of spors, Thorn intented to take the Jack down with lungs full of toxic spores. The wall of hardlight caught Thorn off guard as Twilight came to his rescue. Nodding his thanks, Thorn ran towards Fenrir passing through Twilight's shield before scooping the wolfman up as he expanded his body to encompass the team's leader as he rushed towards Luthor. Left with only Molotov between himself and the criminal mastermind, Thorn couldn't risk his teammate using the chaos to his advantage to cover the murder of Lex Luthor. Releasing Fenrir from within his body, Thorn rapidly expanded his body to a towering size as he layered himself with plate after plate of bark like armor.

"Cover us Molotov. Fenrir is injured."
