Henry puts a lot of thought on how to divide the teams with the new information available about everyone’s abilities.
“Johnny, Oliver, you two are going in. The rest of us will distract them.” Henry announces. “Gargoyle’s ability is our best bet to divert as many people’s attention as we can. And with mine, we can retreat real easy.” Henry explains despite nobody asking. “Johnny, you’re good at getting in and out, and Oliver, you almost kidnapped Constance, so that counts for something, am I right?”
“Damn right, it does! What good times those were! Most of my friends were alive back then…” Oliver gets all sad.
“C-Could you please stop bringing that up so casually?” You don’t know if he’s milking it or if it helps him cope. But you’re tired, and neither seem healthy. At least, you wouldn’t mind if he didn’t do it with people he barely knows.
“I must agree.” Lord Gargoyle doesn’t like that from Oliver either, and he has nothing else to add.
“Eh, I will when the memories stop haunting me.” Oliver likes being a weirdo.
“So, never?” George wonders.
“Don’t count on that! You guys could all die today and I feel like the weight of your demise would override my guilt over the deaths of my recently deceased friends.” Oliver explains like he’s talking about sports or something. “Like, my parents were brutally murdered and I barely bring that up... Or maybe everything will all pile up into a massive wrecking ball of depression and hit me right in the face.”
“<span class="mu-i">...I don’t want to team up with Oliver anymore.</span>” You want someone to tag you out.
“Sorry, bud. We’re going with the new guy with cool superpowers.” Henry puts it in simple terms. Wait, did he choose to team up with Lord Gargoyle because he wants to see his powers?! What a dumb and childish decision, you’d never do that…
