Viktor stood quietly at the rear for the mission briefing. Not being selected as the leader for a mission was beginning to strike a nerve. Kass was the obvious choice, and he had been the second in command for the previous two missions, but he wanted a chance to prove he could lead the team to surefire victory. He wanted there to be no doubt in anyone’s mind that he had led the team to success. Why? Maybe it was just to show he could pull the leadership position off better than the others or perhaps he wanted to make sure things were done his way. It was toxic, yes, but he wanted his team to be successful and their lives unthreatened by complacency. 

He thought he might be able to slink back into the secondary leadership position, but Kass left with “Ja” trailing her. [color=silver][i]I can discuss my position with Kass when she returns.[/i][/color] For now he decided to actually follow Daphne’s lead for once and inspect the diving suit. It was interesting to him how much it resembled his own suit minus the hood over the helmet and black coloration. He wondered who went through the effort in designing such a suit. [i][color=silver]The butler?[/color][/i] Viktor glanced at Talon for a moment wondering if he had deduced the same. The guy had been offly quiet and to himself since the incident at the circus. Sure, he had gotten the intelligence after the fact, but he was defeated and possibly compromised by whoever attacked him. Comforting the young man was not his responsibility, and even if it was, he’d be negligent in it. He did not like Talon and Black Canary simply requested him to hold back his criticisms. If Talon let failure destroy him, then he was never meant to be on this team. 

[color=silver]“Alisa, how do you feel about this mission. You have a suit to protect you but even a minor breach of it could be detrimental, yes?”[/color] His bias towards Alisa showed, and using her full name might come off as different. He’d considered Batwoman’s suggestion, but he still preferred “A.” He’d test out the difference in reception today.
