Robert stacked the papers, tapped them to straighten them, before he looks up and smiles. That all too understanding smile that he does when he's proud of his team or genuinely happy with an outcome. He looks across from the large meeting table. Surrounded by his team and looking at Visi... Invisigal.
She had come back. Begged forgiveness and one last chance to redeem herself. From Red Ring, from Shroud, from disappearing and trying to be a full villian.
Robert had been battling the head sin office for weeks with Mandy, to let her back into the Phoenix program!! They didn't want to because she had shown time and time again, that she was NOT wanting to change that she was not willing to fall in line and follow orders. Robert argued back that a lack of falling in line did not equate to being a good person. Shit the most rebellious people were the ones to bring about change and do for the greater good!!
By some miracle he got through to them with his determination and fierce defense alone. And that had paid off. Now Invisigal sits in front of him, new paperwork and her spot on the team reinstated much like Coupe's was after the fight with Shroud ended.
He looked pleased. She looked nervous. She cpuld feel and smell the mingling tension in the room. The others looked calm, collected but she can smell the pungent scents of a few alphas.
"Welcome back, Invisigal.... I'm really glad you cpuld join us." Robert stands, papers in hand, and heads for the meeting door. "I'll take these to Mandy and then why don't we all go out to the bar tonight, then maybe the taco place? It'll be nice and we can all catch up again!" Robert offers with a bright smile before he turns and heads off to Mandy's office.
Courtney watches him go, looking dazed and a little love struck. She turns to greet her old team. "I just ... wanna thank--" SLAM!!! A very loud and very scorching hand slams in front of her making her jump. She's met with glowing amber eyes and a heat that felt like it meant to choke her.
Flambae was hovering before her, seething, enraged. If she couldn't see it, his scent certainly clued her in. It was like a forest was set on fire, burning wood and smoke. Spice so loud it burned her nostrils.
" let's make one thing very fucking clear...." he growls out low, his fangs protruding. "Just because Robert practically fought to bring you back into this team... you will NEVER be allowed into MY pack."
Behind him, Coupe stands, twirling a knife between her fingers. "You'll never be left alone with him" Punch up speaks from his chair across the way, " You'll never be accepted into our circle again."
Malevola stands, arms crossed beside Courtney's chair with Sonar just beside her, both looking more disappointed than angry. "You ARE a member of Z Team...." she says quietly, somber. Sonar finishes for her, his own scent having shifted from fresh spring waters to a dank must. Like a cave that can't let itself dry out. "But you'll never be one of Robert's partners."
Finally, Prism stands and walks behind Invisigal, "and you best thank your lucky fucken stars you even get that." She practically spits before the rest of the team files out of the room quietly. The scents of anger and rage finally leaving and no longer suffocating her. Leaving Courtney to finally face the consequences of what she did. Waterboy was the last, and even is stormy ocean scent was shifting into... something too salty and sharp. He turns and looks back to Courtney. ".... I really hope .... for yo-your sake, that you really want to be here this time" he says quietly before scurrying out of the room as well.
