After the introductions, Tony stayed silent allowing Elias and the four other men to test the waters. It also gave him the chance to think about the situation without distraction.
He trusted the four to keep on their wits about them, even Hans, but the danger was all too apparent. Talk of sea monsters and Professors disappearing was troubling to say the least.
Tony searched his mind for a lead, a spark of an idea, anything that could ease their passage, but from what Elias was saying, their options were limited. The MSU research division had trouble with it, never mind a group of desperate fugitives.
Their only option weighed heavily on his mind. The possibility of death or worse was very real, and despite what some of the others might believe, Tony felt the burden of responsibility for all of their lives. Veso was little more than two or three years younger than Tony himself but he felt ancient as he taught them how to control their powers.
Despite his hesitation, he was only avoiding the obvious outcome. He was far too curious to let this slide. He would forever regret the opportunity lost, and any opportunity to gain an advantage was worth his life ten times over.
"We don't have much choice,"
he said in the silence after Elias' report on the situation. "We will search the area indicated by the missing Professor."
He did not have to think about his delegations as he spoke. "From what we know it will be extremely dangerous. We will stay together for the most part, but form groups of two."
The first was as it had always been, gravity to temper extravagance. "Veso and Hans."
The elder man nodded in understanding while the younger rolled his eyes. "Dan and Yuri."
Dan's intent devotion to his new gift would compliment the more soft-spoken Yuri.
He turned to Elias with a smile. The reasoning was plain, and he doubted Elias would appreciate the sentiment, but he was by what Tony had gathered inexperienced and his fixation on his uncle's recovery could lead him to consider something extremely foolish. "You shall have the pleasure of my company,
" he said lightly, then changed his tone to convey the level of danger they faced. "Stay together at all times. Remember what you have been taught, and do not try anything idiotic."
Veso grinned and ruffled Hans' hair much to the latter's annoyance.
Tony turned back to Elias. "We will follow you,"
he didn't need to say he would be keeping an eye on everything, ready to step in at any moment. "Lead the way."
