Six in the damn morning. Safe inside the privacy of his suit, Xavier let himself yawn, making sure his suit blocked the sound from transmitting out. When they were divided into two groups, he was very happy to see that Todd was over on the other team. An eyebrow rose in amusement at seeing the headlines on Chad's tablet, not that anyone could see Xavier's face, and Xavier's gaze moved from the image of Green Gale and Muerta to the fully clothed versions standing near him in his group. He hadn't known about that. No wonder he didn't remember seeing either of them at the pool. But his attention was quickly brought back to more important things.<br/><br/>The first challenge was about to begin, and it seemed that two of the Paragons, their judges, would be doing a demonstration. Now this would be worth watching. A bank robbery scenario then. Xavier took note of the situation inside the bank, committing as many details as possible to memory to aid his own run through. He didn't have long though, because the two Paragons had the thugs in the bank out in less than thirty seconds. And the getaway driver? Well, he didn't get away. Total time just under two minutes...he could beat that by himself. But it was a pair challenge, with Recoil in charge of judging for his group. Xavier wasn't really interested in the prize for the group win, mostly just the immunity for best pair. But it would make for good viewing for his parents at home if he was part of the winning group. Hopefully the rest in his group did well. And he didn't feel that he would be voted out by his fellow contestants, but winning the immunity would be a good sign of his progress and prowess. As the cheers and groans rang out upon everyone realizing who their partners were, Xavier smiled to himself in his suit. High Voltage would be useful in stunning the robbers with non-lethal currents of electricity, like the tasers he had built into his suit. That would help minimize collateral and personal damage, as Chad said.<br/><br/>High Voltage approached him first. He had a plan, but first, he had a question. Paladin shrugged in his suit. "Of course we've got this in the bag. Two guys? I could take out twenty. Lethal, non lethal. Fast, slow. Silent, noisy. Distraction, knockout punch. I can do all that and more. Let's hear your plan then." Xavier slipped into his Paladin persona easily. Confident? Damn right he was. High Voltage wouldn't be able to see Paladin's face in his suit, but he was already smiling in anticipation. That was when Chad suddenly started talking again. So High Voltage and him were up first then. "Well, better tell me your plan quick. We need to head to the elevator. Better not keep them waiting for too long. Don't want to lose any points for being slow...and I don't think Recoil's a lenient judge." Paladin noted that the gateway car would be parked at a different spot each time...well, no problem for him. He could easily use his suit to scan for the starting position of the car the moment the simulation started. So no problems there. "I can scan for the car's position the moment we start, no worries there. What else do you need me to do?"<br/>
