Carol let out a deep sigh as the jets engine slowly shut off and the jet itself cam to a stop. She stood up, and the rest of her team quickly became quiet and gave her their full attention. "You guys did well today. I know we lost some good friends today, but they died doing what they felt was right and will be remembered as heroes. We didn't really accomplish our goal, but we left Apocalypse and all of his Horsemen with a clear message. We are not weak, and we are willing and ready to fight." Most of her team just looked at her and smiled, while others even had tears in their eyes. After her brief speech Carol thanked everyone and sent them on their way. She had spent a lot of time training with this specific group for this mission and Carol was sad that she may not get to work with some of them again. As Carol made her way off of the jet she was immediately approached by a tall man wearing a very nice suite. She recognized him right away as the same man who greeted her at the end of every big mission.
"It was a close one today Lady Ace."
"That was nothing, I didn't even get captured this time," Carol said with a sly grin on her face. Not many people could say that they went up against a Horsemen of Apocalypse and lived, but that is why Carol was considered one of the best. The man didn't really seem to find Carol sense of humor very funny, but after risking her life day after day she has learned to just laugh at it all. She knew that the council wanted to see her, but Carol wasn't in the mood for 21 questions. "Listen I know that the only reason you're here is to tell me that the council wants to see me, but it has been a long day and the council can see me after I've had a hot bath and a few hours of sleep." After saying what she needed to say Carol continued to walk to her room, not caring if he was happy with her response or not.
