Belle appeared to be distracted by the training at hand as Thorn turned away, reabsorbing the hybrid fruit into his body. Inwardly groaning at the team selection, Thorn couldn't help but wonder why Fenrir had put him on the team with those he was most distant from. Especially considering the ever present friction with Adam and himself. Though to be fair, Adam had friction with almost the whole team so Thorn supposed someone had to end up with him. The bigger question had to be why he was put in a team leader position, perhaps the stern wolfman had a sense of humor after all. Were Quantum not such a drunk, he might have actually made a decent opposition to Twilight. But alas these were the cards that Thorn had been dealt and he was prepared to gamble. Grunting in compliance with Adam's orders, Thorn eyed up Madcap. He saw no point in voicing his opinion or suggestion plans, everyone knew how cocky Adam was with his 'high brow' reading and 'expert' background. Though if Adam was such an asset to the military, one had to wonder why he was on a team that worked in the shadows out of the eyes of both the public and the government. In some ways the Outsiders were only slightly better than the rumored Task Force X and that was due to having better morals. Task Force X was comprised of captured rogues who had battled with the likes of the Justice League. Turning to Bloodwalker, Thorn spoke. "Keep Molotov off of me especially." His voice rustled as he spoke, straining to keep the annoyance out of his voice. Setting himself up around the team's flag, Thorn expanded thick thorny branches from his body, encasing the flag in a cocoon of strong branches and vines. Large flowers blossomed from the vines, spores of pollen spilling into the air slightly as the petals flopped open. Madcap was unpredictable, the best course of action for Thorn was to stay with the flag rather than outwardly engaging the opposing team. Their 'brilliant' leader had after all left his flag completely undefended, treating this training exercise as a straight offense when it required a dedicated defense. Hopefully Twilight would make the same mistake granting the team an opening. That said against Twilight's abilities and Quantum's, Warpath's team was rather outgunned.
