"That's what I'm talking about!" Ariel pumped her fist in over-exaggerated excitement at Ravager's mention of Lobo. "Finally someone who can compete with my intensity." She looked at the rest of her teammates with the figurative mask of a facial expression that she always put on in times of anxiety to try to convey that she was dauntless. No one paid her much attention, which both annoyed her and made her determined to show the rest of the Titans how much better than them she believed she was. She closed her eyes and rested her head against the seat for the remainder of the flight, envisioning what she planned to do come game time.

The ship began its descent to the ground near the heart of the action, where Lobo and an alien in a mechanical suit were brawling in some restaurant. Rose shouted out the incredibly lame battle cry before assigning the team their responsibilities. "Amazon, Pistolera, Thermo and Whirlpool get the one in the mech suit." She continued with giving the rest of the team the go-ahead to attack Lobo or just support, but she tuned her out in a fit of disappointment. "Are you kidding me? This is just too damn easy," Whirlpool rolled her eyes, both angry but secretly relieved she wasn't part of the Alpha team.
Zane, ever the opportunist, was the one who kicked off the "fight". One of his spells utilized the noodles to hinder and immobilize the alien. Pistolera fired at the creature before the creepy little thing responded by firing his own weapon at her. Time to prove myself, she thought before concentrating on all the liquids in the shop, hoping to quickly intervene. Aren't the Chinese famous for tea or something? She hoped there was something hot, because at that second all the liquids in the restaurant burst into the scene, coming from all around the place.
The various drinks came together to form a small stunning wave that blasted into the alien, stopping him from possibly injuring Pistolera with whatever crazy futuristic gun tbst he was firing. Hopefully his suit wasn't futuristic enough to be immune to some good old water damage in its circuits. Maybe that was just in the movies, but she really hoped her attack did more than just protect a teammate.
She glanced around to see what the rest of her teammates were doing. It wasn't smart in the midst of a battle but she'd bought herself the time. Sentinel was releasing what seemed to be the equivalent of an emo teenage boy's pent-up aggression on "The Main Man". Rufus and Eric were assisting. Rhea was tending civilians, hopefully they could somehow comprehend her accent. Then Ari saw Wonder Boy who was yet to make a move. "Hey Demi-boy, how about you do something besides admiring yourself?"
