[color=pink]"You'd make a good firefighter, Cora,"[/color] Pei said as she pushed Cora down the hall in her wheelchair towards the debriefing room. [color=pink]"See even with my cool powers I still have to work my way up with structures or regular ladders or what not. If one person or just a cat is stranded somewhere you could just fly right up there. And you could bust holes in ceilings to let smoke out, and manage backdraft. There's a lot you could do."[/color] And when she wasn't talking, she was singing a bit to herself, as she tended to do. 

Pei pushed Cora into the room and sat down next to her, quieting down as the meeting began. Sitting respectfully as Daphne and Viktor began their somber debriefing. Maybe it was just because Batman was watching but Pei felt like she didn't want to say much. She already felt like she said enough on the plane.

When Kass apologized to her, Pei smiled gently, with relief. [color=pink]"Hey, it's okay, no problem. Apology accepted. I coulda handled all that a bit better so I'm sorry, too. It's all good, really," [/color] Pei said, she it was obvious she meant it. Genuinely more relieved than anything else that there may be no bad blood between them for words exchanged. Even if Kass did hurt Pei's feelings. Her puns, for the record, were not stupid. And her catch phrases were cool. So. Glad that's settled.

Whatever, it's fine. It's all good.

Well, then, after Zach said some stuff, Will started talking, and Pei started tapping her foot again. She really, really wished people would stop talking about the League this way. Really wished. 

Though, Cora telling Will and the others to shut up also annoyed Pei. She got that Cora was in a bad mood because of all the pain, but it's not like anyone was insulting Cora. So telling everyone to shut up as if they weren't here to talk annoyed Pei. But she stuffed down that annoyance and said: [color=pink]"Did you wanna be here? We can go back to the infirmary if you want,"[/color] Pei offered Cora quietly on the side. If Cora was going to be put in a sour mood, she could catch up with the debriefing later and get on some medicine.

Then Quiver started talking some more, about how he felt. Pei was very unhappy with how Kila attacked Will. It was no wonder he felt so shitty. Pei hardly felt like she was in some kind of in-group. She, Cora, and Vincent were newbies too, even newer than Will who had been on the team once before. Kila attacking Will was a serious offence, and he needed to be benched.

But what were the League supposed to do? Lock him up? It was a good thing they didn't. If Metamorph hadn't come, who knows what would have happened to Daphne. They would have had no reason to keep her alive. Of course ideally Metamorph would have come with backup, using his freedom and trust to tell the League what he thought he knew, but still, right? Pei thought all of this to herself as Will made his case known. 

But she wasn't really the target audience. This time, with Batman himself here to speak, she would keep her mouth shut. There was no reason for Pei to say: 'Well, actually, you've been on the team longer than I have' or 'The League didn't do anything wrong' even though she kind of wanted to say both of those things because Pei hated feeling like people were mad at her or her heroes. And she didn't want Batman thinking Pei agreed with all of this. But. She wasn't involved in the drama. And unlike Grumpy McZapzap over here she wasn't going to insert herself. Grumpy McZapzap. Heh.

The truth, Kass said. What truth? What could the League know that they didn't? Didn't they spend the most time around Metamorph? Pei rubbed her face and sighed, the closest she was going to get to speaking up.
