Teams and How Not To Kill Them [Team Lima Only]

[wantstobebatman.livejournal.com]

If he's going to hold a team meeting it seems reasonable to try to make it as nice a meeting as possible, so he's taken over one of the sensoriums so that they can have couches.

...well okay the room is actually just his office back home with some couches ADDED, but they are still comfortable places to sit. There's also juice and cookies!

Mostly he just wants to get a handle on who all is under his intermittent command here when it comes to the missions. It's not going to do him any good to have a team if he doesn't have a handle on their abilities.

Ninjas are trained to work solo with a unified style that lets some missions be handled in pairs or fours. This means that, well, the Doc isn't really much of a 'large group' strategist. In fact his past attempts at planning non-solo missions have gone over in some spectacularly terrible ways. But hey, that plane thing was soooo Dad's fault, seriously.

For right now he has to at least try, though.

He munches on a cookie and waits.

"Welcome, Robert, since I didn't greet you before," Dani said, smiling at Robert.

"We'll go next, I guess?" Dani said, glancing at Danny. "Well, I'm Dani, don't ever call me Danielle. You can call me D though so Danny and I won't get confused," Dani started. "And yeah, I'm his clone, long story for the whole different gender and age thing."

"So, we're both halfas, which is a half ghost, half human. Which is, yes, scientifically possible. This is ghost form," Dani said before shifting to her human form with a flash of white rings around her. "And this is human. As ghosts, we get general ghost abilities. What I can do so far is intangibility, invisibility, flight, not really needing to breathe, sense other ghosts, overshadowing, which is like possession, and ecto blasts. Which can differ in strength and I can get them from hands and feet." She explained.

She paused for a moment. "Um, I also know a lot of biology and got a pretty good general knowledge on ectology." Just in case they needed to know, so she said it.

Danny breaks from his argument with the younger McNinja to list off his own abilities

"I'm Danny, and like Dani said, we're half-ghost. I can do every thing she can, though somewhat more powerful since I've had my powers longer, plus I can create ectoplasm-based force-fields, turn other people intangible and invisible, do a Ghostly Wail, which is sort of like getting hit by a freight-train carrying 100 amplifiers all playing the test of the Emergency Broadcast System if you're on the other end of it, and I have ice powers." The ghost-boy pauses here.

"Also, I can make temporary copies of myself, and create solid objects out of ectoplasm, but I haven't quite mastered those powers yet."

Mai has been silently death-glaring at Dani for most of the meeting, ever since her comment about Zuko's scar. She's also been half-listening to everyone else, but she's sure she can remember most of it for later. She quietly raises a hand and coughs, "I'm pretty agile, good at acrobatics and... fighting, I guess. And I can hit just about anything with a thrown knife."

And back to brooding silence and death-glaring at Dani.

Personally, Dani couldn't tell a different between Mai's expressions at this point. Not that she would get why either Fire Nation person was angry.

After all, she had been talking about Zuko being slimy, thus the clean up after the pod pop was a hack job as in bad job. It's not like she could talk about odd facial features. Her eyes had been glowing green just a minute ago.

"You know...except for Mai and Robert, we could just disappear it seems," she commented. It was something she'd notice. Two official ninjas, two ghosts, Zuko sneaking. They could mostly just be gone in a second.

"I can sneak if I have to."

Mai waves a hand in Dani's direction.

"So it's just Robert's that out of luck," Dani said. "Well, I guess Danny or I could make him invisible too if we can reach him fast enough."

Robert chuckles.

"Part of being a good infantryman is knowing how not to be seen. I'm rusty, but I think some time in the sensoriums would help."

. . . Spirit Powers, that was what Zuko picked up from the Phantoms. Inexplicable, strange superpowers, and Dani was some sort of . . . whatever a clone was. He had no idea, and he didn't care much. "Copy," or something. Maybe she was one of those copies Danny mentioned earlier gone rogue.

Zuko thought about making a joke about using Robert as distractions - but no, that was off-color, and on the off chance that it WAS funny, he didn't feel like joking around with these people. Danny and Dark Smoke Puncher joked way too much as it was. He had a feeling that was going to get old fast.

He did pick up on Mai's glare in Dani's direction. That was endearing, but Zuko considered pretty much everything about Mai endearing. Indignance on his part was just another one of the things he liked that she did.

. . . hah, that almost sounded dirty.

"So this is the espionage team, basically."

"Looks like it." McNinja said thoughtfully. This was quite the roster. Whoever set up this team SO knew what to set him up with.

"This is going to be SO much easier than teaching a bandito how to be stealthy!"

All the times he'd had to remind Gordito of why spurs were 'not cool'....

"Just gotta be sure everyone can hide quick enough when things go whack, yo," Dark Smoke Puncher agreed with a nod. He saw some of Gordito's sneaking skills. Definitely a lot easier if people already knew how to do it decently.
