Silver woke up in a gasp, as if she hadn't gotten any air during her unconcious state. She flinched as the water was processed through her body and faded bit by bit. She rolled aside and sat up, placing her feet on the floor. She held her hand over her head, having a killer headache. She noted the feet of Brian and looked up at him. As she did, she also noted them being back into the apartement. "I failed you, Captain"
Brian stood up and addressed her. "Well yes and no. You almost single handedly took out his entire first wave of Doombots and you managed to do well against Doom. It wasn't your fault he beat you, you got caught in a rain storm, that's as much as your fault as it would be mine for allowing a telepath to lower my confidence. You did however manage to break the cardinal rule though while we were in Latveria. I assigned you and Spider-Man to back me up due to your level heads. I know your intentions were good and you only cared for Shalimar's safety but I expected you to be the bigger woman and not argue back."
He then sat back down on the bed and exhaled a huge sigh of relief. She was back to normal and things could only get better and hopefully she'll learn from her mistake.
"I had this whole lecture that I planned on yelling at you, but I'm tired and I'm glad you're ok. You better be feeling better by the end of tonight if you want your surprise."
"There is no excuse for my failure, sir. My intent was not the safety of this Shalimar though, but to fire her up. Her pride makes her vulnerable to taunting, and the more eager she would grow to prove me wrong, the worse it would've been for her enemies" She didn't look at Brian as she spoke, ashamed over the fact that she didn't follow his orders to the letter. She stared into the wall straight ahead of them as she continued "I've never been thrown into a team before. Let alone one that jumps into action not even one moon after meeting. I was not fit to hold authority in that battle. I am not now either"
Agatha listened to the conversations that were held in the building she now levitated before. She knew that the best thing would be to try get their attention and have them come out. That the host of the apartment wouldn't appreciate her sudden approach, but she deemed herself above the regular human courtesy rules. She closed her red eyes and a hole in the wall of the building was formed. She opened her eyes and floated through it, appearing in the bathroom of the apartment on the 13th floor. The hole closed behind her and the wall was back to the way it used to be. She turned and beheld herself in the mirror. She didn't expect a friendly first encounter, so she wanted to remember her face and how it looked before it would potentially be smashed. She then opened the bathroom door with telekinesis and stepped out in elegance
"Heroes!" she uttered, a smirk on her face.
As they all heard some one callling them Danny and Herc sprinted to where the sound was coming from they passed a few rows of book s adn were soon out side of the bathroom. Danny looked at agatha and his fists began to glow a golden color, as Herc cracked his knuckles.
"You have two seconds to state your business or leave before i punch a hole through you"
Herc nodded in agreement "it would be wise to heed the warning, coming unannounced is very rude""
Danny sighed and shook his head "there will be no fighting in my house. and all he did was throw doom" Herc stared ahead and shoved Danny out of the way and walked a few steps closer.
"Are ye truly challenging the Prince of Power?" he smiled a sadistic looking smile as he stared at her not even blinking, he was always ready to engage another in combat.
She was beating herself up far worse than anything Brian could've said himself. In the presence of danger she was a fierce and brave warrior who wouldn't even blanche in the face of Doom, but she seemed to host an equally submissive side when she failed to uphold her duty.
"Stop it right now. You're an extremely valuable member of this team. Your intentions were still true regardless of what you say. I personally owe you my life. You sacrificed your home and title for me, someone you've only known less than a day. I wish your selflessness would inspire the rest of my team. You've done more in Latveria than any of us could've done. Doom recognized you as a worthy adversary which is not something he throws out often. I bet you could've won if he was without his sorcery. Silver don't beat yourself up anymore, I'm going to need your confidence and aura to inspire our team and I"
He said with the emphasis on "our". Albion heard them being called and came forth to find their summoner.
Silver looked over at Brian as he spoke. She didn't know what to think. It was as if his mood was shifting constantly, and such a leader she had never before come across. Back in her previous life, if you defied the orders of a leader, you'd be lucky to keep your health. "Possible as that may be, I did fail you. I will not do so again"
"I meant all of you" She responded to Danny when he appeared to think she directed all her words towards Hercules. She turned then to Hercules himself and eyed him from top to toe "What better way is there to gauge strength than against an Olympian in combat? Battle was not my intent of arrival, but passing this opportunity would be foolish. I will speak to your leader later"
Herc looked around he considered striking her right as she spoke but decided against it since they were inside Danny's building. Herc pointed out the window and began to speak up "Fine outside, so we don't turn his buildin gto rubble"
Spiderman and Cho caught up to the others and just watched as it appeared that Herc was about to fight. Cho wanted to check Reeka's collar out but decided it could wait till after this was over.
"Very well. Outside it is" Agatha uttered, raising her hand. Runes appeared above her as well as Hercules head and both of them appeared on the streets the next instant. "I have not battled in decades. This might prove interesting" she commented to Hercules as she turned around and eyed him. "Your move, Olympian"

"And I won't be mad if it does happen again. That's the thing about being a team Silver. There will always be someone there to save you and pick you up when you fall. Oh and please if I haven't mentioned it already then call me Brian."
Silver smiled "Thank you, Captain. I'm honored that you grant me that liberty. I am very sorry for all that happened back there. I will do what's in my might to outweight my failing" She spoke, rising from where she sat. She offered Brian her hand to help him up from where he sat. A sign of good gesture.
By the time agatha finished her sentence Hercules was already in arms length of her, he was smiling while doing it as he loved combat. He lunged his uupper body forward as he stopped moving his front foot and thrust his arm directly at Agatha's face, his fist was clenched tightly but he was holding back his strength to see how durable she was.
Danny shook his head as he looked out there, he opened the window and and soon jumped out of it see it closer. Spiderman smirked and soon followed him carrying Cho as he did so.
Brian grabbed her hand and helped her up. He gave her a smile reassuring her that everything was going to be alright.
"I thought we already talked about this. Call me Brian because I feel as if you are addressing me by the title "Captain" and not because it's in my name. You may very well skip the formalities here when you are amongst friends."
