If its not taken by force that could be oustide help. Im also not sure if you force people to do things thats really help, but oit can be seen that way.
Im also not sure if the no oustide help rules does not apply to prep. In the outside help rules it gives an example which does not include prep ie when Batman is fighting X he cant aks help from Avengers, that is not a prep situation, but since the rules state "unless montioned otherwise" that could be considered to be the case. I am of the opinion that the rule pplies to no-prep situatrion because of the example given
