The studio where the Legionnaires are being held is swarming with supervillains. It's a trap, of course. But that doesn't mean they have to walk right into it. They have a plan, and now it's time to put it into action.

The Legion of Supervillains are expecting the non-native Legionnaires to be pushovers. They're about to discover just how crushingly, devastatingly wrong they are.

"Theta?" Delta tugs a little on some problematic code to loosen it, switching his focus from minding York (he's got Theta and North, no need for him as well) to Cortana. It'as not unlike shuffling a bit of tedious paperwork off his desk and adjusting his glasses to buy a moment. "He is my younger- my youngest, brother. When we were...when the Core AI that our donor made was fragmented we each formed with particular core traits. I am Logic. Theta is trust."

"Mm. How solid is he?" In Cortana's considerably-less-than-humble opinion, 'trust' isn't the primary character trait one wants in a military AI. And on the subject thereof, she certainly doesn't trust Freelancer to have made sound decisions in which of its assets to field.

"All things considered?" That he is a child, that he is easily frightened and anxious, that he is meant to go into active combat where he is often afraid with nothing but the compassion and patience of North to otherwise guide him? "He is as solid as I am, if still learning how to operate. We are...we were not fragmented in the usual way. Theta bears more trauma than most of us for who and what he is."

A beat. Almost protective warmth settles in Delta's voice. "But he is capable. He is intuitive and highly skilled in calculations regarding practical applications of physics. North's Hard Light Shield was difficult to control without a pipeline to the main servers onboard the Mother of Invention. Despite his apparent weaknesses, only I and perhaps one other would have been able to manage it as well as he."
