The sudden diversion from his course did not seem wise to Zen for expediency's sake, but he took it on the basis that it would keep things a bit more secret from the public, which was always a plus.  Fortunately, his fly-by could at least be toned down, in terms of the noise, so attraction called to his attention would be minimum, and the night sky was always friendlier towards his blue-black armor a bit more than the Trask loadout.  The point is that things would seemingly work out for them, as he arrived at the base to let the good doctor get to work.

Time passed...and soon the rest of the gang would arrive to report that Peacekeeper 01 was secured.  Shade...Tia...was sadly not among them.  She needed some recovery time from whatever state her mass-transport had done to her.  That just left the aftermath...  The Shapeshifter, Animal Man, had some choice words about their execution.  Frankly, so did Zen, but not exactly the way that you think.  He turned to the green man, now.

[color=00aeef]"There was a greater than 90% chance that Oracle always knew this was going to happen, and took steps as she has.  Nevertheless, I made no mention of this possibility to the team, as I attempted to rally them to a sane course of action which would use all of their skills to overcome Peacekeeper.  The main fault lies in the impatience of Bolt, even though I was acting to help all of the team take down a killer.  Hopefully, he has learned his lesson.  However..."[/color]

And he turned now to face the others.

[color=00aeef]"I think that in the heat of the moment, where we were forced to improvise under pressure, we proved ourselves capable, which I believe Oracle wanted to determine for herself."[/color]

He stepped over to join the others, head lowering as he turned to face Animal Man again.

[color=00aeef]"My experience is such that I cannot let someone be sacrificed for my benefit again, so I was all for this, and as a result, Bolt was not killed.  My one regret is that while this did succeed, Shade Walker may not return for some time, and the feeling of loss is familiar to me."[/color]
