<span class="fixed-color" style="color:orange">Rose Wilson</span>:<br/><br/>Rose ignored Freya's comments in order to focus on her opponent, but she had a feeling this fight would become two-on-one, against her. She had expected Amethyst to block, but not in the way she had. The block sent Rose's<a class="link link--external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokken" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Bokken</a>into the ground causing the whole thing to shutter from the impact. She also hadn't expected the other girl to let go of her sword which left her open for the next attack. Though she had time as Rose had to recollect herself and shift her momentum.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:orange">"You forgot something,"</span>she commented simply. Rose was conflicted, there was no honor in attacking an unarmed enemy, but at the same time this was training,<i>and</i>Amethyst was supposedly a warrior, so she should be able to defend herself right? It took her only a moment to make her decision and she shifted her momentum and attacked once more, but she didn't plan to make contact, her goal was to stop her blade a few inches from Amethyst's neck.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#9966ff">Nightstar</span>:<br/><br/>Nightstar continued to frown as she heard Oracle's reply,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#9966ff">"Being a warrior doesn't mean you can work well with a new team. This test or evaluation is coming at the wrong time... as I said before... more then half of us <i>just</i> met. I strongly disagree with this plan, and I won't lead this team into a disaster like this planned test. Someone will get hurt if Batman goes through with this plan."</span>she replied simply. She made herself as clear as she could, and honestly she was shocked Batman would plan something like this when he believed in being prepared for all possibilities. The team just wasn't ready yet in Nightstar's opinion, maybe if more of them had been trained like the previous team she had been a part of she wouldn't be so concerned. As for Speedy, she didn't accept Oracle's comment,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#9966ff">"The hallmark of a good leader is knowing when an order is a bad one.... and to not follow it. She's just as at fault as the person who gave the order, if such an order existed."</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:lawngreen">Lady Loki</span>:<br/><br/>Lady Loki was almost out of the Auction room when she heard the blonde girl speak up and turned with an arched eyebrow.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:lawngreen">"Really? You're quite brave, or perhaps foolish."</span>she commented as she looked the girl up and down. It seemed there was something different about this girl, she had a different aura then the others in the room.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:lawngreen">"If you wont kneel, then have a seat."</span>she commented and just as with Lobo the girl's chair reached up and pulled young reporter in training back into the seat. Like Lobo she would have trouble getting out of the chair now, though Lady Loki didn't know she was related to Superman or she might have conjured some Krypinite.<br/><br/>With that dealt with she made her way outside and towards the Alley way. By now the police and emergency crews would be on the way and she didn't have much time. She picked up the special bag and placed the tomes inside it, after wrapping them each in a different cloth. Once they were secure in her bag she made her way back out to the street, looking for the right place to create a portal back to her lair, as she couldn't make one in the same place as she had arrived.
