That frown then became a smirk, accompanied by silent laughter.<em>'Good way to start a rebuttal. Fantastic.'</em>The way he saw it, he now had the distinct pleasure of trying to remain mature-- enough-- in his own response. Mocking remarks would only hurt his argument, and he did feel an obligation to hear the man out, as well as everyone else. He listened attentively as they spoke, and despite what he'd dreaded, the only mildly displeasing thing he heard was that Jessica thought that Harley Quinn was in the Avengers, or in the Marvel Universe at all. And that only made him grin. He took appreciative note of Courtney's silent support of him. And Timothy, at the very least, was willing to delve into the subject of fantasy powers. He even shared a theory about their correlation to the real world.<br/><br/>When Courtney's hand burst into flame beside him, he instinctively leaned away from her. After realizing what was happening, however, he broke out into a delightful grin, and a light, rumbling chuckle escaped his throat.<strong>"Well, this is girl is on fire."</strong>He commented, unable to help himself, especially in the face of her sheer excitement. "I'd say that's somethin' special." He added in a low voice for her ears only.<br/><br/><strong>"So,"</strong>He began after Timothy's remark about powers,<strong>"like I was sayin', we'll need to know what we can do. To survive. I'm not tryin' to start up some crazy drills. I'm not trying to lord over you. What I'm trying to do is let everybody understand the situation we're walkin' into, and what we can do to help us come out of it all alive. These people are accepting us as Champions, and want us to risk our lives to protect them. Their God wants this too, for whatever reason. And we know what happened to the last Champions."</strong>A thoughtful expression settled on his face, and he continued.<strong>"Trust is very important, I agree. It'll be harder without shared ideals or willingness, but the fact is we need each other. That said, you can't train or teach people to trust each other. That'll come naturally, or it won't. So I'm saying we should do what we can to give us the best chance. I really don't want to see any of you dying. Just think about it, that's what I'm askin'."</strong>That said, he turned to face forward as he continued following Walo.
