"Nice, makes me wonder what Wicz is doing on his off day." Chris said as he stood up and had rested long enough as he started to get back to shadowboxing.

"I hope he's doing something fun," Carrie said.

“Ready to go again?” Draven asks, once he’s done.
“Sure, gimme a second.” Wicz retrieves his water bottle for one more drink. “Just a couple more rounds, I think. I don't want to be too tired for later.”
Draven blinks at him for a moment before he seems to remember. “Ah. I hope that’s not the case?”
“Yeah.” Wicz allows himself an excited little grin. After the battle with Sportsmaster, he’s more in tune with his teammates along with his own self-worth. While one battle does it’s wonders, there are still more challenges ahead. “Having a day off doesn't bother me much, but it's nice to have it once in a while.”
“Oh,” Draven says in surprise, until he notice Wicz's friends nearby. “Looks like your teammates are here. Shall I leave you to it?”
Wicz shakes his head, placing his hand on his shoulder. He may be prepared to handle it, but it doesn’t mean he won't do alone. "I think it's time for you to properly meet them instead of dragging you away during school hours." With that said, the duo stroll their way to where Chris and Carrie are at by the tree.
Easing his worries away, Wicz greets them right away. "Hi Carrie. Hi Chris."

Carrie turned when she heard a voice behind her. "Hey Wicz," she said with a smile. "Enjoying the day off?"

Carrie turned when she heard a voice behind her. "Hey Wicz," she said with a smile. "Enjoying the day off?"
"Why yes, yes I do. Right?" Wicz replies as he looks at Draven, which his friend responds with a nod in agreement.

Chris stopped shadowboxing as he saw Wicz and a stranger walk up to Carrie and himself. "So, it would be safe to assume that his is Draven. Right?" Chris said as he folded his arms. "Heard a bit about you." Chris said as he was feeling out Wicz's friend.

"Oh yeah that's right. Your Wicz's new friend," Carrie said with a smile. "It's nice to meet you officially."

"Once I humble, I'll add addition time onto your schedule for you to learn how to speak to women." Talia got into a fighting stance, ready to make an example out of the newcomer.
"Trust me, I have no problem talking to women...m'lady." Adrian spoke, mocking the daughter of the demon with his bow. As soon as he rose his head, Talia had moved in quickly, nearly taking his head off with a kick that he just narrowly avoided.
"Your theatrics may work with some but not with an elite adversary."
"Good to know. I'll keep that in mind when I fight one." Adrian went on the attack throwing a high volume of punches, blending them with kicks, using his athleticism. Talia shocked the new assassin as she was able to dodge everything and when she saw an opening, punched him three times in the chest and finished with a kick to the gut, knocking him to the ground.
"Shit!" Adrian raised his head, seeing that Talia hadn't broken a sweat. "No way in hell.."
"Your natural ability may have put you on the League's radar but without proper training, you're still just a thug in the street. I have fought many of men who possessed similar abilities but like you, they fell just the same." She turned to walk away, only to find that the rookie assassin was back to his feet. The surprise of someone getting up from that series of attack got her attention, prompting her to turn and face Adrian again.
"That's where you're on the crazy juice." Adrian charged Talia again with the exchange being similar to before. This time, Adrian surprised her with what looked to be a jumping roundhouse kick but instead was a butterfly kick, catching Talia in the face prompting the other Assassins to murmur among themselves as they were shocked a fellow newbie scored a hit on the daughter of the demon.
"I hope I didn't smear your makeup." Adrian smirked and Talia grew angry, leading her to charge the rookie, hitting with several powerful strikes, finishing with an inverted Hurricanrana, spiking Adrian on his head. This time, Adrian was down and didn't look like he was getting back up.
Talia stood over her defeated opponent who smiled even though he was defeated. With one final swift kick to his face, he was knocked unconscious. "Get him out of my sight." Two assassins volunteered and picked Adrian up, carrying him away from the training grounds, probably saving his life in the process. Even though Adrian was defeated, he still got under Talia's skin with his bravado and it wasn't something she planned on letting go of any time soon.

"Yeah it's me. Thank you." Draven answers. "Wicz told me a lot about you two, even though I've seen you before."

"Seen us before? Wanna run that by me again? First time I've ever seen you." Chris said as he continued to have his arms folded.

"Well, I've seen you in school but we actually met through Wicz." Draven scratches his head until he glances at Wicz, who prays silently for for his friends to get along. "It's that incident remember. Y'all actually met there." Wicz says to his three friends, referring to the time where at Midtown Gotham his teammates try to bring him back so he can save his mother.
"Even though I never meant to drag you like that with all the running and what not," Wicz says to Draven.
"These things happen. Don't blame yourself," Draven tells him, stopping Wicz from going on the guilt trip.

Training for the league was returning to normal after the brief exhibition, Ra's walked into the room, causing all of the assassins to stop and bow. The Demon's head walked past each assassin, visually examining each member as if his eyes were fine comb. As his feet led him to the end of the line of assassins, he gave a slight nod of his head, giving them permission to continue with their training.
"Daughter, you seem to be missing one." Ra's leaned in slightly towards Talia, ensuring that he didn't have to speak too loudly.
"Yes father. The man was arrogant and his skills did not properly align with how much he ran his mouth."
"I see." Ra's put both hands behind his back in a resting position. "Do we have room on the burial grounds?"
"He is still of this world but it is my hope that the pain bestowed upon him will trigger lessons that he must learn in humility."
"Okay. Let us hope that the boy has learned his place once he recovers. As to why I am here, I must speak with you regarding urgent matters."
"Yes father." Talia left the training area with her father, leaving the assassins to work on their own and hone their skills in the name of the league.

"I remember. However, and no offense to you Draven, but there are secrets that must be kept now, and just because Wicz trusts you, it doesn't mean that I and I try not to speak for Carrie, but in this case, we trust you. I hope you can understand that. I mean, I barely know you so please forgive me if I'm hesitant." Chris said as he looked back at Draven and Wicz.

"It's alright. It's very new to me too." Draven inhales deeply, carefully, and smiles that approval smile, tilting his head lightly. At least first impressions goes out smoothly. "The keeping secret thing is never easy for you guys since you're superheroes."
"Eh, it happens." Wicz tilts his head with a shrug. "I know you all don't like it, though there comes a time when it's necessary. Regardless what the universe decides."

"What is it that you wanted to discuss, father?" Talia asked, walking down the hall with her father who felt confident with what was on his mind.
"Daughter, you are aware that with the detective choosing a...different attire, his team of young warriors have become far more formidable."
"I am aware." Talia's mind drifted to the night where she and Bruce fought, recalling his moving with such force and vigor that it was reminiscent of when he was in his physical prime.
"Records show that there is a fifth dino gem that I'm assuming he has. If the fifth Ranger hasn't emerged that must mean that they haven't located the warrior of choice." Ra's was confident that he was onto something and felt an opportunity to get a leg up and bring Bruce Wayne to the league fall at his lap. "If we retrieve that gem, we can study it and perhaps use it to bolster our own ranks."
"That is a sound plan, Father. As I'm sure you are aware, Bruce likely keeps that gem hidden in his Batcave."
"Then we'll have to break in and retrieve it."
"How will we do that? The security is formidable and if I go, it is surely to trigger another battle."
"I know. I have another idea....."
