Captain UniAtlas anxiously watched the rest of the team shuffle into the hangar and make their way inside the aircraft. He glanced back at Radorion as the shirtless Titan dressed himself for battle. Marcus didn't know Ash well. Or at all, if he was being completely honest. The two hadn't spoken much (Rad wasn't exactly the social type) and what little they had said to one another shed no light on who Ash was. Marcus didn't even know what kind of powers the older guy possessed. Atlas made a mental note to approach the mysterious Titan at some point. After all, it's hard to work as a team if you don't know who's on that team in the first place. The Russian boy averted his gaze after that brief glance. He swept his vision across the rest of Titans East and went over a mental checklist, checking for who was still missing. Ash, Fortress, Cobalt, Kid Q, Thaam...Where were Bit-Girl and Annex?
"Lets rock! Every---"
BAM!
"Huh?" bewildered, the young Green Lantern's head shot back to see what had happened. Lo and behold, there was Bit-Girl: strewn out over the floor. Marcus slapped the palm of his hand against his forehead at the sight of Aria's grate-textured face. Well, there's Bit-Girl. Almost everyone was accounted for. Now all they were missing was- "Oh. I didn't hear you guys come in." Marcus looked over at Kid Q as the faceless man strolled out of the pilot's seat like he owned the place. Marcus probably should have been surprised that the entirely human Query had somehow made it inside the cockpit of the jet without anyone seeing him. But he wasn't surprised. Anyone who shamelessly listens to pop music and dresses in a blue fedora (or, alternatively, dresses like a bat) are expected to be sneaky little buggers. The Question doesn't raise no normal child, yessir-ee.
The small screen next to Atlas' seat glowed with life as the team began to discuss the plan of action. Based on the direction the conversation seemed to be heading, the general consensus between the Titans' various eggheads was that stealth was their best option. Marcus disagreed, but Green Lanterns weren't paid the big bucks to come up with plans. Atlas was here to follow orders and that's what he'd do. Marcus turned towards the screen and typed a few words into a search engine. A couple of clicks and taps later, a blueprint of the bank dominated the length of the screen. Atlas quickly looked over the map before looking down at his ring. As if on cue, the object began to glow. "Ring, download city municipal codes and the layout of the bank. Try to access the security cameras while you're at it." The ring only took half a minute to work its magic. The alien super computer was a truly astounding piece of technology when Marcus thought about all it could do. "Codes and layout uploaded to Central Battery mainframe. I am unable to access the cameras within the bank; unknown software is preventing the bank's systems from accepting my override commands." Marcus wrinkled his nose. "You're an alien computer! Can't you, like, hack it?" Atlas' ring was quick to respond. The voice lacked any sort of emotion, or sapience. "No, Marcus Lev Zelenyy, I can't 'Like, hack it.' I am not programmed to force entry into hostile systems. I attempted to use the proper passwords to remotely access the cameras and I was blocked. I can try again, but the result will be the same."
Marcus sighed and looked back at the computer screen. Robots; so useless. "Tell me if anything changes on that front."
Not much time passed before the jet arrived on scene. Julian and Guardian started tossing out orders, and Marcus got excited. Even if the mission was going to be a cakewalk, at least he could expect to smack a few baddies around. Better than sitting around Titans Tower all day playing Battlebots with Bit-Girl. Atlas waited until the three Titans assigned to move inside exited the back of the jet before unbuckling and moving towards the exit himself. Once the plane had landed, Green Lantern made his way outside along with the rest of the Titans and met up with the police. Julian found the officer in charge and started the pleasantries. While he was busy with that, Marcus took the time to give the bank a look over. Not much could be seen from here. The ring hadn't made any progress with the cameras. "Marcus. I've managed to piggyback on a friendly signal attempting to access the cameras. The one called Julian Luthor has succeeded in freeing the live feed from enemy control." Atlas nodded in approval. "Nice work, Luthor."
"Atlas, any chance you can make a drill strong enough to go under the building, give you guys a option to get in that they won't see coming."
Hrm. Atlas mulled over the idea for a moment before expressing his thoughts to the team's leader. "I can definitely make one strong enough to get us under the bank; no problem. The real problem is keeping it quiet. Tunneling isn't exactly a silent process, comrade." A green hardlight drill about the size of a human being appeared in front of Marcus. "I'll need a soundproof bubble around me while I work. Think you can handle that, Fortress?" Atlas asked, grinning at his teammate. "If that isn't possible I could knock a hole in the roof. Or a wall. Or we could all waltz in there guns a'blazing. Take the enemy down before they know what hit 'em."
