[color=Silver]“What… was that?”[/color] Viktor was on one knee with a hand against the side of his helmet as he recovered from the sharp feedback. It especially affected him due to his acute hearing abilities. [i][color=silver]Fuck.[/color][/i] With a sigh stood back up and faced Quiver who had relayed what he was seeing. Viktor knew the only thing or person that could accomplish such a thing from outside was Cora. Remembering the fallout from the Taos mission caused him to tighten his fists before uttering, [color=silver]“It won’t be like last time.[/color] He rushed the garage door control, setting it to open. 

[color=silver]“Let’s move! We need to make a break for the others and extract! We have the objective. Iceburn, give us a path to them. Mirage, assist as you see fit. Quiver, you and I will need to stay right behind them to keep the canisters secure. Let’s go!”[/color] As everyone pushed through the opened garage door, flanking the troops outside, Viktor contacted others over comms. [color=silver]“Inside team coming out. We’ll push through to you and then-”[/color]

[color=goldenrod]“Team, you need to get out! This mission is a trap! I repeat, this mission is a trap!”[/color]

[color=silver]“Huh? Kila?”[/color] It was a rare occasion when Viktor called someone by their name during a mission but he was taken off guard by not only his teammate’s voice but his warning as well. [color=silver][i]A trap? No…[/i][/color] Viktor hugged the canisters with his left arm and held his rifle in his right, firing taser rounds as he followed Iceburn and Mirage’s lead. [color=silver]“We need to extract, now![/color] It was difficult to see where Cora was while focusing on the threats ahead of them.[color=silver]“And what is Stormcaller’s status?”[/color][hr]
[i][color=CornflowerBlue]“I know it’s hard to remember and harder to change, but you’re not with HIVE anymore. We’re supposed to be a team. We [i]need[/i] to be a team to achieve what they need us to. If we keep acting like this, someone’s going to get more hurt than they are now. I’m new to this whole hero thing too, but… to me, it seems like we need to work together. And we can’t work together if one person doesn’t look out for anybody else.”[/color] 

[color=silver]“The team.”[/color]

[color=silver]“How does this sound then? ‘As long as it ensures the [b]team’s[/b] success… it matters.’”[/color] 

[color=CornflowerBlue] “Much better. But let’s add well-being. As long as it ensures the team’s success and well-being, it matters.”[/color] 

[color=silver]“Hmm… Of course. As long as it ensures the team’s well-being and success, it matters…”[/color][/i][hr]

[color=silver][i]"Right, Alisa."[/i][/color] Viktor glanced down at the canisters limiting his ability to assist the others. Knowing Quiver had one secured, Viktor dropped the two he was holding. Gripping his rifle with both hands, Viktor fired a hardening foam grenade round, disabling several foes in one shot. Trap or not, Viktor refused to keep his friends in the crosshairs of the enemy.
