[IC] Mutant Facility

Eating the last bite of his muffin and finishing his breakfast, he felt a pit of dread in his gut at the mention of group work. In school it was something he hated hearing since nobody ever wanted to do any group work with him. He'd always be left to sit alone and finish projects by himself in the corner of the classroom, away from everybody else. 'I hope nobody gets to choose who to group with...'

Jen smiled at Damien.
"I'm good. Just waiting to find out what insane activity they're going to have us do today. Whatever it is, I'm sure I won't like it," she said, frowning a little, "Did you sleep well?"
She hoped that the boy had. She liked him. He seemed genuinely nice.

[Xiphonic]

@Carlsberg@GingerBoi123
The timing on that answer was nice and coincidental. "I am good, I adore mornings!" Damien was the person she trusted the most, just after Jen. Team work would be interesting, some synergies had already been come up with in her mind. The small fear of whatever nefarious thing they would have us do was their though, gnawing at the back of her mind.

Damien leant back and stretched. "Well, I still think I'm waking up, but it sure as hell was better than what we've had to put up with in the past. Than I'm sure. Yourself?" He asked. Jen seemed like she needed a good bed with warm sheets. Plus, showering probably helped everyone. Damien looked at Veronica. "Well, isn't someone perky today? I assume you had a good sleep too?"

[Carlsberg]

@GingerBoi123

Jen gave a small smile.
"My sleep was... good enough. I've never been a good sleeper," she said, content with how she had slept, "What do you think think thr mission will be?"
This mission had her curious. She was glad that everybody could participate. She didn't want to exclude people, especially if they were going to be a team.

After fighting through the buffet line, close to Kiiros, Wes finally sat down, stuffing his face with the food he gathered until a guard spoke about what was in store for the day being that of working together as a team. Looking over at the guard and then the group, Wes wondered how the hell this was going to work. He already seen a little clique formed and scattered individuals, including himself. He was not sure how well he'd work with others or if the others even cared or wanted him on their team.

[KatherinWinter]

"You will need to appoint a leader. Everyone will have to do their share. Anyone not working with the group will be taken back to their room. A failure on this will restrict your future missions until you prove that the restriction should be removed. Today's mission is just practice but it will be treated as a real mission. Your mission is to rescue a girl who has been kidnapped and is being held hostage. You can not be seen using your abilities nor can you kill anyone during this mission. Questions?"

[GingerBoi123]

@KatherinWinter

Damien had an idea. He looked at the guard and raised his hand. "Yo! Question over here! So, let me get this straight, we can't be seen using our abilities. Soooo, we can still use them as long as we're not seen. Right?" Depending on the location, Damien already had a plan formulating in his head on how this could work.

[KatherinWinter]

@GingerBoi123
"That's right. You can use your powers as long as they are not see by the guards or the cameras." the scientist explsined. The facility was blanketed with cameras. There were very few blind spots and those were covered by guards. Using their abilities we oulf be a big challenge.

@KatherinWinter@GingerBoi123@Carlsberg
The use of powers would not be an issue for V as she could use it without moving anything or having a trail leading to her. Then the issue of a leader. There was only one person she believed could lead the group AND be trusted...and that was Jennifer. "I put my vote in for Jen to lead." She said to the group. Perhaps she herself could do it, but it was rare that her missions on the streets invovlved more than her or one other.

[Carlsberg]

@Xiphonic

Jen blinked, silent for a second.
"Wait, what?! You want me to lead? I was going to vote for you to lead," She said, thoroughly confused by the girls decision, "You're obviously leader material. You've done it before. What experience do I have?"
She didn't think of herself as a leader. She never had. When had she ever done anything... leadery.

[Varicke]

@Xiphonic@Carlsberg@GingerBoi123@KatherinWinter

"Why do we need a leader? What's the leader going to do, lead us to our deaths?" the thought of having a leader felt like it was going to be an obstacle. "I do much better on my own and whoever is chosen to be the leader better be a damn good one, or chances are I won't listen to a word they say." he pointed at Katherin "She would be the perfect example of a leader I wouldn't listen to." if they were to have a leader then he was going to be as serious and honest as possible. The last time somebody lead him was during one of his contracts to kill the leader of an organized crime syndicate. Kiiros had listened and followed the guy word for word, which resulted in the guy getting killed by his own plan and almost killing Kiiros in the process if it weren't for his mutations. If any of these guys wanted to lead anything, they'd have to prove to him that they're capable of it.

[King Tai]

Shit! the problem with no being allowed to use powers is the fact that Wes' powers activates on it's own. He's never learned too stop his power through his will so...depending on the situation, his power will activate. Unless it's just to increase his physical attributes, it shouldn't be too obvious. Now deciding a leader was going to be difficult, Wes didn't have full confidence in any of them to have leadership skills. He didn't want to volunteer because of his attitude towards others. "Personally, I really don't give a good hot damn about who will be leader."

[Xiphonic]

@Varicke@Carlsberg
"Well we need a leader because they said we do." There was no way around having a leader, and Kiiros' 'lone wolf'-ness was annoying. Few of them were even capable leaders, in her experience with them anyway. Jen was probably the best with people and therefor automatically a better leader than some of the others. "Jen, you are probably the best candidate. I have led few people in my life, and they were just brawny people used to get more and bigger things. I have done some sneaking, that is it. Unfortunately, I, like Kiiros, am usually alone when I work." She may have unwittingly given evidence to why she was good at leading stealthily, but that was two people, not an entire group.

[Carlsberg]

@Varicke@Xiphonic

"Sure, go on your own. Just don't come running to us to save your life," She said to Kiiros.
Whoever the leader was, Jen was damn well going to follow them. Even if it was Kiiros.
"All I've ever led was a couple of girls in how best to please. I don't know anything about tactics, or orders, or anything like that," She said to V.

[GingerBoi123]

@Varicke@Carlsberg@Xiphonic@King Tai@KatherinWinter

Damien shook his head "C'mon guys, do we have to turn this into a big argument?" He asked, but mainly directed it at Kiiros, as he did look at the pyromaniac when he said it. Damien folded his arms. "Kiiros, you've got nothing to base your argument off, Katherin hasn't had much of a chance to show off her abilities, plus, I don't think we know much about anyone to make assumptions like that." Damien took it upon himself to stand up for Katherin. "If my theories are correct, then I don't see anything wrong with Jen being a leader, however, I would like to volunteer a plan. Once we get to it." Damien wanted to point out.

[Varicke]

@GingerBoi123@King Tai@KatherinWinter@Xiphonic@Carlsberg

"So we can't even pick a leader? This is a fantastic start to our first mission. And I see plenty wrong with Jen being a leader." already this was going no where and they were already berating him. He shut them all out and tried to really think. He personally didn't like the idea of Jen being a leader, she wasn't confident enough and had a defeatist attitude, she also worried too much about their safety. Veronica had experience too but she doesn't seem like the type to practically carry the responsibility of everyone's lives, test or no test. He doesn't know much about Ryouko enough to determine his capabilities in certain scenarios. Wesley is the most streetwise of them all but his ability can easily give him away and his acting sucks. Katherin and Ethan are out of the question. Now Damien, he could prove to be a decent leader. He's got an optimistic attitude, likes to look at the big picture, seems to have a good understanding of each individuals capabilities, and his powers are easy to hide. 'But how would he handle being under pressure and huge responsibility?' Kiiros himself is a strategic thinker, he knows how to use the environment to his advantage, he's very good with planning and quick thinking as well as handling stress and responsibility. He's been doing it almost all his life. He takes his work seriously so there'd be no joking around when it comes to a mission, the problem is that he wouldn't be a sufficient leader if his followers didn't trust him, and he'd doubt the others would even consider it. Releasing a sigh after some thought he gave their best option a try. "What about Damien?"

[KatherinWinter]

Katherin was hurt by Kiiros words but she wasn't surprised by them. she had no experience doing anything. She knew she couldn't lwas the group. She had a hard time just interavying with them. D he bite her lip. Their powersite were suppose to be seen. She couldn't hid her wings. Some of the halls were wide enough that she could fly above the group. But she would have no way of communicating with them other then yelling back and forth. Which would definitely attract attention.

[Xiphonic]

@Varicke@KatherinWinter
Damien was a candidate, but Veronica could not think of a time he talked about actually leading people, though none of them really had. "I could go with Damien if you all are willing to." Getting the group to work together at something was a challenge that needed to be solved before they broke apart. Then she noticed Katherin looking a little dejected. 'Gah, it is obviously her wings, they are super obvious.' Neglecting Katherin's issues was a problem V needed to address. It was too often that Katherin was little involved in the group. "Hey Katherin, I could make your wings invisible if you would like." She said as she walked over to Her.

"Woah, woah, woah! Wait, why me?" Damien had no evidence to go to. He lost to Ryouko in the fight, he didn't get to do the parkour course. Plus, he's never had to lead before. One thought went through his head. "Kiiros, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?"
