He was listening to Viktor’s retelling of events, slightly shifting his body towards him. After he was finished Batman replied with two simple words. [color=Slategray]“I disagree” “You will always learn more on the job, the information was enough to start with”[/color] Batman pulled up the footage of the Hotspot cafe. He replayed the entry of the Kobra agent, pausing when she sat down with Alisa and Aleen’a. This was when the Team identified her as the most likely suspect. He looked at each of them while he spoke. [color=Slategray]“You successfully identified the Kobra agent, but your preparations to face Kobra were lacking.” “Leaving gaps in your knowledge of threats shows poor judgment” “An unknown could be irrelevant or the deadliest weapon used against your teammates”[/color] He returned his attention to Viktor. [color=Slategray]“ When you were outmatched, you took an experimental drug instead of retreating. You were dealing with multiple dangerous chemicals fighting for dominance inside your system. I suspect it is your familiarity with the super serum that kept you in control.”[/color] He did not agree with Viktor’s approach, but he was impressed. The calculated risk worked in his favor this time. Mirage not only managed to escape his controlled anger, she deserved praise for her part in this mission. Having to deal with the limitations set for her by the League, she did more than hold her own. [color=Slategray]“Mirage you proved to be worthy of your place on this Team, and your skilful use of limited abilities helped ensure the objective.”[/color] As they discussed the remaining parts of the mission Batman started to bring the debrief to a close. He recognized that the leak of information directly contributed to the failures of this mission. Despite Zatara already having left, this important piece of information would soon reach him. [color=Slategray]“This is how we’ll proceed from here on out” “Effective immediately Zatara will be benched from missions, until further notice. He will be spending his time reflecting on his shortcomings with guidance of his mentor Zatanna.”[/color] Batman turned off the footage and the screens returned to solid light blue. [color=Slategray]“The League will monitor Kobra activity but for now the initiative will not be deployed. Civilian missions only, if any at that.” “We have started to recruit new members, to fill in the gaps Talon, Hex, Gold Rush, Brightheart and others have left behind. While we are not considering Nymph to be among those, the possibility can not be excluded.” “Use this time to rest and reflect. Take the weaknesses identified in this debrief and adjust your training accordingly ”[/color]
