Briefing Room

"Now," said an annoyed Agent Coulson as he examined the now "suited up" teenagers that sat before him in the briefing room around a glass table. "Let's try this again shall we?"

"Yes sir," replied Robin with a nod.

"Good," said Coulson, as a huge television screen descended from the ceiling.

"Cool flat screen," snarked Flash. "We watchin the game?"

Ignoring the comment, Coulson began debriefing the team's first mission "Ever since the disappearance of Batman A.K.A Bruce Wayne, S.H.I.E.L.D operatives and our surveillance team have noticed a chain of night robberies in Wayne Co's air and space travel-related Laboratories and factories." A map filled with scattered red dots appeared on the screen. "These dots," continued Coulson, "Represent the buildings that have been stolen from. Unfortunately, none of our men and women have survived these robberies so we're not sure who's responsible. But, we do know that whoever they are, they're extremely powerful."

"And that," said Flash with a smirk. "Is where we come in."

"Precisely," said Coulson. The screen flashed to an aerial view of a warehouse off of the coast of Manhattan. "We have reason to believe that this is their next target. We've tried watching and waiting to see if they had bigger plans for the stolen tech but we've lost too many soldiers. Robin, you and your team are to go to the warehouse and apprehend the thief."

"Yes si-"

"Do we really need the entire team," interrupted Flash placing his hands placing his hands behind his head and cockily slouching in his chair. "I think I can handle a couple of grease monkey junkies on my own."

"Look," said Coulson, turning to leave, "I don't care how it's done. Just know this: the Titans 2 initiative is an experimental project. If you fail, you're through." Coulson looked back over his shoulder at the kid Captain America sitting silently next to his roommate "Robin," he began, still staring at Cap. "It would be in your best interest to keep the team together."

"Yes sir." replied Robin. "When do we deploy?"

"That's up to you now 'leader', " said Coulson as he stepped inside the elevator. "Good luck." For a moment all was silent as the elevator doors shut. The teens could even hear the motor turning in the elevator shaft as Coulson left the building.

"All right then," said Robin, breaking the silence. "Let's go now." Robin stood up and headed toward the elevator. However, she stopped after she didn't feel her team following her. "Did you hear me," she asked looking over her shoulder.

"Look," started Flash. "You're hot and all but Coulson said that we were dealing with 'night' robberies and it's not going to get dark on the docks until like ten and there is NO WAY that I'm spending five hours outside looking for a couple of goons from a rooftop."
