Petty criminals, suddenly gaining superpowers? The Order would become overtaxed at trying to maintain peace. Then the League could be free to focus on something without the worry of their opponents appearing at full strength.<br/><br/>“As far as your suggestion goes, discuss it with the other members,” she advised. “Yes, you will be lying in wait, but we wouldn’t want to spring a surprise too soon, would we? Our opponents aren’t to be underestimated, and we may have need of your powers sooner. Now, if you would excuse me, Dr. Creel and myself have other things to attend.”<br/><br/>Ever curt and formal, she turned on her heel and walked away as Synapse mentioned his uneasiness. “I’m fully aware of that, doctor,” she said coolly, not breaking her stride. “I’ve been expecting a potential new recruit to our ranks any time now. She shows promise, but might be a bit…<em>unstable</em>. Though I am impressed she managed to infiltrate our lair thus far.”<br/>
