When Adam heard Fenrir mention that their training tomorrow would be kept a secret he smiled, he loved surprises and this would be a chance to see how they all would react to training that they weren't prepared. He was a little annoyed at Fenrir insistence that Tamashi train even though he was injured. It definitely true that the enemy would not wait for them to heal and Adam had received that kind of training his whole life, but if his teammates' injuries became worse because of training then he would be ineffective in the field. When Fenrir said that Sun Tzu was wise, Adam started to wonder if maybe always using quotes from famous people in his points made him look confident in his own abilities. Maybe he should cut back on the quotes and get more to the point. Adam did have to admit that Thorn's use of football as a way of explaining strategy while more simple did have some good points and Adam actually really enjoyed football, it was one of his favorite sports. Of course Thorn didn't like the idea of Belle being on the team, he seemed very protective on the child to Adam and with one so young as her he wasn't surprised. But Adam was still in agreement with Fenrir about training her. He was curious to hear his reason for her being on the team, and when the wolfman told them, Adam was not expecting something that personal, but when he thought about it it did make sense. Then there was Johnny who had a habit of smoking that Adam didn't really like, he had grown up with scientists and learning about unhealthy habits and substances was one of the first things he learned. He also supported Thorn's stances on the matter of Belle, it was true that if something happened her in the field then Fenrir would be responsible, but that's what it meant to be a leader which was to make hard and sometimes even reckless decisions and take responsibility for mistakes, Adam knew those things all too well. "I know that some of you don't believe that Belle should be, but I was trained to become a hero at an even younger age than Belle. I know it seems crazy to have such a young girl on a team like this, but I will put trust in our leader's decision, and sometimes we have to grow up faster than others" Adam spoke to them. He knew he would get some criticisms and probably some rude remarks, but he would stick up for their leader, especially after his threatening words before their first mission, he wanted to try and reconcile with Fenrir.
