With a flourish, Zatara had effortlessly created duplicates of the guards that lay in the next room. Having someone with Zatara's abilities was undoubtedly comingin handy - he was capable of a great many things provided his insecurities didn't get in the way. This was of course, an unfair look at Zatara, as the same could be said for each and every member of the team - Talon included. There was no one among them who was flawless, who could do things without nearly second guessing themselves or tripping over their own feet. Gold Rush came close, but Talon was mature enough to know that if he did have anxieties and struggles, he was likely just better at hiding them than the others.
Talon looked deadpan into Zatara's face when the young boy asked if his plan including killing the guards. If it was a joke, he wasn't sure how to react to those kind of things yet. So instead, he moved along silently behind Mirage. The Atlantean likely dwarfed Talon's own strength, but Talon's discipline was likely the sharpest among Squad A's. As he slipped in to the next room, Talon motioned for Mirage to action, and as she grappled with one guard, performing a reverse chokehold he likely would have difficulty escaping from, Talon moved onto his own target.
Talon leaped toward the other guard just as he noticed Mirage's attack. As the guard lifted his weapon, Talon was upon him. Using his speed, the former member of the Court of Owls wrapped his legs around the man's neck before using his own shifting momentum against him. He was thrown hard against the wall and landed in a crumpled pile, and approached the various items in the room. As they all began searching for any piece of information that would assist in the completion of their mission, it was Cybergirl who first reported finding a disturbing piece of information - plans for use of a prototype bioweapon, and a list of potential targets.
Talon was about to pass the information along to the others, before Zatara found something of his own. A Kobra Venom supply was here at the base.
The others looked to Talon, waiting on his cue.
"Batman and the League gave us orders. This is a recon mission. Knowing there is Kobra Venom below changes nothing. We have our strict orders, and we are going to follow them."He looked to see what the others thought of this.
While he waited for their feedback, he joined the comms.
"Squad B - we've located potential targets, as well as some disturbing information regarding a bioweapon. How would extraction go at this point?"Static came in on the line before suddenly - and surprisingly - Rain's voice came through the other end.
And Nymph was down.
Talon looked up at the others, unable to hide the concern on his face. What was the story? Did the situation change? Things were going so well. The mission was going to become a success, his team had gotten what they were looking for, and the League would undoubtedly be impressed with their abilities up to this point. But now Talon was faced with something he was trying to prepare himself for. The completion of the mission could be compromised. Was he willing to allow that to happen? Not ever in his development, but now? And that it was Nymph of all people. Hopefully things weren't that bad - not yet.
"Rain what is happening? What's wrong with Nymph??" Talon snapped into the comms, knowing his question would based more in personal concern than in the missions goals.
