"Horrible odds. But the plan is what I'd do. Lethal force won't matter, so there is no point pussyfooting around it. But remember, he's been at large for fifteen years. The tactic has been tried before."
"Is there a way to incapacitate his powers?" She asked Mat, deciding to take something out of his book: she completely ignored Rhett, who she was losing respect for quickly.
"Taner has tranquilizers. I assume Enya has something that could help out as well. Don't you think getting him down will be easier than killing him?"
She gave a shake of her head. "Besides. Capturing a member of the infamous Empire would do us well, yeah?"
She looked between the three men around her and meshed her teeth together. "Never mind. I don't want to know. THAT would be a liability. But maybe you should think about the merits of the people you're working with. Because I would love," she emphasized the words, turning angry eyes onto the senior agent. "And I do mean love to see you go up against that bastard Jimothy Clavish by yourself."
"She's got a point about one thing, it might be easier to put him out than kill him."
If he's not suddenly immune to all of those tools, at least. Aaron subtly steps between Rhett and the retreating Piper, because he gets the feeling she won't take that mental health comment well. Let her get out of here, relax, calm down. She could gather the rest of the team. Having said his piece, he looks to Mr. Amtrum.
"How does his power actually work? Will he still come back if he doesn't have an intact body to come back to? If I cut off the bastard's head, will he grow a new one?"
"It's quite probable. But the girl had told The Director that she had agreed to meet Clavish with other agents. We won't get a better chance to ambush him on our terms. You of all people should understand how big it would be to capture someone of his rank. What kind of risk that is worth."
He'd continue out the door.
"Deal with your team. If you still have misgivings then talk to me. My office will be open."
Then, he turns his head back towards Aaron, smiling again.
"I didn't say you guys were useless. I said I worked better by myself. It's already obvious Piper's going to be a problem, and judging from how defensive you are, I don't have high hopes for your mental health here, either. This guy Jimothy is obviously someone who messes with your head, and so far, you two haven't really proven to be able to keep from getting really emotional."
He shrugs.
"But we'll see, I guess. Maybe there's a better agent out there to watch you guys instead of me."
"I'll admit, I'm furious right now. I want to tear him to shreds the moment I get my hands on him. Maybe I'm taking that out on you a little, sorry. Trust me when I say my feelings just make me more determined to make sure this works."
Best to be frank, since Rhett's putting his cards on the table, too. "Piper won't be a problem, I can handle her, and when the rest of the team's gathered we can come up with a plan. I think we need your experience and personality at the helm - if I can be perfectly honest, I'm trusting you a little, to make sure I don't get carried away. Besides, your powers and mine? We could cage him up like the rat he is."
He still remembers that spar with Noelle and Taner.
"You sound like our best shot, with your experience and everything."
Frankly, he doesn't know many of the senior agents well enough to have an idea for who else could go. Sure as hell not Josh. They really don't have time to be shopping around for team members.
"Besides, the Director picked you for this team by the sound of it. If he has faith in you, so do I. I just ask for the same trust in return, for you to work with me."
If he could pick anybody, there's better names he'd drop on Jim's head. The Directors, Agent Young and her team, Agent Knowles...
But bringing that up would undermine the whole point he's making.
