Viktor was more focused than ever during this briefing on the upcoming mission. It not only made him feel small inklings of doubt that his team could pull off maintaining covers as villains, but it also sparked memories of his attendance at events such as this gala. These events always had a theme or a misdirection, but they always had the same motive. His eyes looked across everyone in attendance, sizing up each member of the Team, just before nodding to himself. [color=silver][i]They can do this... [b]We[/b] can do this.[/i][/color]

Faith. It was something that still didn’t sit well with him, but he stomached it nevertheless. Despite any doubts he buried, everyone around the table had the capability of carrying out this mission, even with Zach’s playful comments. Before Batman could step in to comment, Pei had piped up to give some preliminary instructions to those who would be disguised as the wealthy youth attending the gala. Of course, the Tempest Queen was the one who’d waste little time getting the Team prepped for the mission.

Viktor shot glances at Will, Vincent, and Cora to make a mental note of who he’d be working with, yet… his eyes naturally peered toward Daphne. He wondered what her thoughts and feelings were regarding the mission, especially knowing she wouldn’t blatantly voice them. When her eyes eventually met his from across the table, he gave a subtle head nod with an even subtler smile before looking toward the center of the table.

[color=silver]“As far as henchmen go,”[/color] Viktor figured he could give some of his own preliminary advice to those who’d be assigned as bodyguards while Pei was giving pointers to the group she’d be coaching. [color=silver]“The quieter, the better. If I’m leading you, then it’s best if I do most of the talking and issuing of orders. You can disagree out loud for show, but follow my guidance.”[/color] He stressed the last part for emphasis before continuing. [color=silver]I’ve attended an event like this one. Not many will be looking for an altercation, but this place might end up being the most dangerous place we’ve been to.”[/color]
