[center][i]Talking to [@Gardevoiran] & [@Xandrya][/i][/center]

Mantis listened to this Broker's response stoically. As he ordered a round of drinks for them he raised his hand in protest and replied, [color=green]"No thanks. We have a job to do. You will have the money by the end of the week."[/color] Mantis turned around to face his companions. This guy was..dangerous to say the least. Able to turn off their powers on a whim? Between him and Patriarch he didn't know what was worse. At least Patriarch was blatant about his abilities and made a show of it. It was easier to calculate his threat level. As for the [i]Broker[/i]. Mantis glanced back. What was he fully capable of?

Regardless, he had a task ahead of him. The Broker was best left ignored. For now. Mantis contemplated working with another group..but who could they trust even relatively? Then he shook his head making his decision in his head [i][color=green]"No. They would do this themselves. They didn't need anyone else interfering. I'm in command, not some mob boss."[/color][/i] 

Mantis gestured for his teammates to follow him out the door. Once they were some distance away from the bar he asked calmly, [color=green]"Can any of you contact Whip to join us? We may need her help."[/color] He made his way to his car as Axel pressed against the window in anticipation. When Mantis opened the door Axel jumped at Farce and began to lick her. Then he turned to Genevieve and did the same. He [i]liked[/i] these people.

Mantis gave him a quick pat on the head and said, [color=green]"I know where we are going follow me."[/color] Anyone who needed a ride was able to get in his car and tag along. Otherwise they would follow him in their own way.
