Wren's eyes are kept closed for a little while, as he breathes deeply. The voices were all around, and he knew that they had managed to escape. As he feels his own injuries trying to heal, he notes that the weapon from Voderac/Ares has a little extra 'umph' to it. This was going to take longer than usual.
As the others start speaking of teamwork, barely managing to get out alive, and then what to do with the prisoners, Wren knows that tracking them is going to be easy for Ares. After all, he's had practice on finding things that didn't want to be found.
"Ms. White can deal with the prisoners, as she would know how to best keep them quarantined from Ares. It's not their first big catch, I am sure. As for their armor, it's best to let Black scan it for contingency plans, as I don't want to see what would happen should it be trapped or something."
"As for the battle, there's no better way to learn than from personal experience. We know we aren't as cohesive as we would like, but without knowing what we can do, it's impossible to think of all alternative actions. As for how to get better at this teamwork, I have some ideas. But, it's up to everyone. We can talk about it back at headquarters. For now, let's go over what we have, what we don't have, and our next steps."
"Nitro's right, we should find out more about that mystery super, as she would come in handy. Knowing what her motives are would help us out as well. As for the cargo, don't count it out all together. Black, I put up a series of protective barriers on the cargo. It might be worthwhile to use some satellite images to keep track of what's going on right now at the site. We can see if they are salvaging the items, or leaving altogether. I am sure you can handle a little satellite management, or at least the higher ups would have access."
Wren ignores the comment from Hope about the almost killing him. He knew that it would take a lot more than her to do him in, yet it still didn't remove the pain. She would have to work on some self control, or else next time, it might not be him that almost gets skewered. He can only take relief in the fact that it wasn't one of the others that would not have been able to survive an attack like that...
He takes the rest of the trip in stride...
OOC - I don't think that Wren would like everyone knowing he carries the ability to regenerate. It's something that could be used against him, and he would like to be the only one that would have that knowledge. Yet, having the others know that should he fall in battle, there is a chance for him to live is a tough choice to make....
As of yet, he doesn't know if that is part of his file or not... probably not.

"Uh-huh." Yeah, Thess can make pictures in the air too. You're just a generally unreliable eyewitness who comes with her holographic, empathic sketch artist. Star pauses on her response to the rest of Hope's 'advice,' planning her words and letting Wren speak.
"Why do we need a satellite to check things out there? If these guys are going to stay out awhile, then you could heal us up now and then we could head for round 2. We don't even necessarily have to get close to Ares; with the gravity boots we can all fly and just shoot him from the air. Also, Ares probably left some traces on Nitro's fists and Hope's face from the fighting, so if that could be isolated, we might be able to scry from it. It might not be enough though."
Then she wheels on Hope. "So, what you're saying is that despite the way you seem to treat the rest of us as untrained amateurs, you have less actual combat experience and control over your powers? Some of us have been fighting and/or working with our powers for years. And I think most of us are modifying the way we fight to account for the team. I doubt Nightweaver would get beat up so much if she used her darkness powers all the time to hide herself and blind people. But she's not doing that much cause it cripples the rest of too. And she spent most of her time tonight moving us around. I've using a much different fighting style too, and I can't say that it's been working out all that well." Or maybe I just suck. "Viridian pretty much only used her power to cover us or set us up."
"Don't assume that your mistakes apply to the rest of us." Especially when you're the one who screwed this fight; just like you tried to screw us in the Foundry. Hmm. I doubt the FBI or AEGIS do much combat training with axes or scythes.

"We're all trying," Viridian says, trying to calm things down. "Pointing fingers isn't going to help. I'll try to scry on the radiation using mystery super like Nitro suggested. Hopefully what we've done here will at least slow down Barrington getting that microturbine tech... If we can stop him from getting that energy absorbing tech, we might buy ourselves enough time to work out how to actually attack him, rather than just slowing him down."

Hope's mouth twitched a little. "Star, I'm not treating you like an amature. And if you thought I was, I'm sorry." she looked at the other super. "And you haven't exactly been the nicest person around either. Since we first met, you've treated me like a pariah. Since when do you expect that sort of treatment to produce 'good feelings' from the recepient?" she said dryly.
"Why are you so defensive all the time around me?" she asked Star quietly. "I'm not the enemy, I don't want to be yours. You have skills that I don't, you have powers that I could never hope to have. You're always selling yourself too short." she looked tired all of a sudden.

Black says: "I'm not sure how much we can heal up in time to get down there. Reyes says that even with magical healing, Nitro and Nightweaver wont be cleared to fight for at least an hour and Wren for a day. Ares is almost certainly alive down there...Barrington's backup probably are as well. Plus, Barrington could easily send even more reinforcements. It might be risky to go down there, and we won't really have the extra air support we had last time, since we've used up all our missiles. There is a US carrier battle group in the region. I say we just use backchannels to alert them to the issue, and they'll deal with the weapons and the survivors. The supers will be long gone by then, of course.
Regarding Night's powers and the rest of you, we can of course issue night vision goggles to everyone -- or even help integrate them into your costumes -- although it may not exactly fit your cape themes."

"You say that, but you act different. Since you joined us you've constantly bragged about your Aegis training while at the same time putting all of us down because we didn't go through an agency. I strained my abilities back there but I can still size up an opponent lying on my back; Voderac was literally drinking in all the fighting and it was making him stronger. I told you that, t]told you to back off.
Both Johnny was down and Wren wasn't in the best of shape. One of those guys hit me hard, Star and Apollo were covering our backs. It clearly was a situation that we needed to regroup and leave. But you ignored me and went after him anyway and both you and Wren paid for it.
We all coudl have been killed, it was lucky that Wren woke up as fast as he did and save ud I don't know if I could have pulled us out of there already taxed or how long Virdian could have held him off; actually she probably would have had the best chance of beating him. Even if she could have held him off indefinatly who knows how many more supers Barrington would have sent.
Nightweaver looks at Black, "You made a good point though; we aren't used to working together. We've been together for a handful of missions all that led one of us to be beaten to a pulp. What the hell was the Trust thinking not running us through at least one simulation together? Everything from night one has been a lot of luck and that's going to run out. We're unorganized and uncoordinated and if this keeps up then we might as well just join Barrington or someone else is going to die.
