Delta sat in silence as all of the young ones gauged their reactions to his display towards Kana, and of his large scar. Overall the kids were optimistic, willing to get shove back. Delta truly admired this aspect of them, however the brave were always the first to die. He was about to continue explaining just how deadly their foe was when a familiar presence suddenly drew near. Epsilon materialized at the entrance to the mess hall, completely drenched in the very shadows that he could manipulate. A few of the tendrils of shadow that constantly accompanied him reached out and held Kana in place. Meanwhile Epsilon had acknowledged Delta and turned the group. "[i][color=SlateGray]I'm glad you're all getting acquainted,[/color][/i]" Epsilon said, twisting to look across the room at everyone in the room, "[i][color=SlateGray]Though it appears we're missing one. Nevertheless, it appears that something needs to be made abundantly clear. Matell. Cruz. If you feel so strongly about fighting Phi right now, then I'll allow you two to take as many people as you want to fight him, right now. No doubt he's still haunting Pavar. Probably finishing off any loose ends as quickly as possible, so time's off the essence.[/color][/i]" Delta almost stood up to object to Epsilon even mentioning them going after Phi, but Epsilon looked back at Delta. With the addition of a small wave in his direction Delta understood that there was more to Epsilon's proposition. "[i][color=SlateGray]If a fight is what you two want so badly, then fight Delta or I. Kill one of us and you'll have our permission to go fight Phi.[/color][/i]" Epsilon twisted once more, looking toward Danny. "[i][color=SlateGray]Even with blood I've lost today, I doubt the whole lot of you could even do me in, but by all means if fighting with your fledgling powers is so exciting be my guest and make your move.[/color][/i]" Delta looked hard at the crowd gathered before him. None of them seemed too eager to take up the offer. Delta couldn't really blame them though. Delta was ranked one stage higher than Epsilon, however Delta wasn't completely convinced he could take Epsilon in a fight. With none of the others moving towards the two elders Epsilon re-materialized in front of the fridge. He quickly drank one of the strawberry sodas that Sayuri had mentioned earlier before facing the group once more. Kana was the first to speak up after Epsilon had finished, just like Delta expected her to. Delta really did admire her self confidence, however at the same time Delta felt that it was the exact same trait that would lead to her downfall if left unchecked. Danny quickly followed with his own remark. Danny had a but more logical approach to the situation, lamenting about how he wanted his life back and how Phi needed to pay. Delta was about to speak up when Carson beat him to it. The pale young man spoke of the need for caution. He had seen Phi first hand earlier that day, saw him kill without the tiniest shred of remorse. Delta agree with his standpoint the most. Even Justin spoke up to add to Carson's point, going as far to say that them fighting Phi would be a "failed bet". Delta allowed the room to sit in silence for a few moments before he spoke. "[color=Turquoise]Listen, Kana and Danny, I hear what you're saying, okay? If you guys feel like you need to be pushed a little harder then I'm sure we can all work something out to let that happen. However I'm going to make one thing abundantly clear, the fact of the matter is that this whole thing is going to take time. My powers woke up when I was fourteen, and I've been working at them every day of my life since then. Rome wasn't built in a day, and what we're doing here is a lot harder than building some goddamn city. But I swear to each and every one of you that after Epsilon and I are through with all of you that you'll be able to hold your own, no matter what.[/color]" Delta turned his attention to Carson and Justin before continuing to speak. "[color=Turquoise]I know all of this might be hard to take in, but I swear it will be easier. I really respect the amount of caution that you two are showing, you're both wise beyond your years. That being said one day the world is going to shove you, I fully expect you two to shove back harder.[/color]" Delta rose from his seat and looked back at Epsilon before addressing the crowd of young supers one last time. "[color=Turquoise]If you all would be so kind please show Justin and Carson where they can sleep. I need to talk to Epsilon privately, so we'll be needing the mess hall.[/color]"
