Before Fenrir had a chance to respond, Thorn turned his head at the sound of Juno's voice. The light manipulator had decided to add in her two cents and Thorn was inclinded to listen. He had rather appreciated all of Juno's hard work supporting the team in the midst of the battle, if ever there was an opportunity for her to lead, he soundly believed she should take it. Juno had proven to have a tactical head on her shoulders, standing far above any of the other team mates in that field, perhaps even above Fenrir himself. 

"We should have blocked the windows." Thorn interjected. "We had already pulled the foliage through them, it would have been a short extension of our power to completely block them with the trees. It may not have held the King for long, but it would have slowed him enough to allow the team to intervene. I apologize for our short sightedness." He added with a nod towards Juno before returning to silence as he continued to listen. 

"When Valentine played football in highschool, the coach at any given time hard numerous plays and to switch all we had to hear was a simple two word phrase. One backup plan does not account for all possibilities, we need to be as fluid as coarsing water with all the power of a typhoon. Training should account for this, but when Valentine planned heists before his death he would prepare for any number of outcomes." Thorn added despite finding himself resentful of Adam's words. He had his misgivings about the government dog, and so far the trained soldier looked only able to take orders than give him. All the books in the world wouldn't translate into experience, anyone could sit and quote something they had read but actions spoke louder than words. Adam's actions during the last mission truly spoke a great volume about his character. 

"On the subject of Belle, we must say that even in a support role we're hesitant to encourage her in the field. She should be out playing with friends not fighting supervillains who will show no restraint in killing her." Thorn spoke, his rustling voice becoming lower. "We support the notion of Belle training with us, learning to be part of the team but at no point do we wish to encourage her being placed in the field. That said, we are not suggesting leaving her in the cruiser either. The base is the safest place for her, if only we had someone to run tactical from the base then she could help out here in the safety of these walls." Now noting that indeed a figure who could watch the battle from the base could indeed be a real asset to the team. "When Belle is older, we have no doubt she'll make a great asset to the team, but we don't feel right encouraging a girl who should still be in elementary school into a warzone."
