"Are you ready?"
Spectre only smiled at the one called Ghost, her gaze seemingly boring into his skull. "Are you..?"
She walked past him into the hall, following the other new recruits as they eagerly went off to prove their mettle to Saladin and earn their places among the more seasoned members of The Brotherhood. Truly she was only worried about two of them, Rodent.. who seemed the sort to - for lack of a better explanation - squeak and run like a rat on a sinking ship, and the Ghost at her side, whom she'd already decided had the bravery of a pet store guniea pig.
Rock would be a good front man, she would just love to see the X-men try and get through him. Nomad, and his singular talent would be as she had suspected, too fast to stop once the action started.. and Basilisk, well she just had to stand there and look pretty and they would fall before her.
Spectre smiled.
"Let's not overly exert ourselves yet...", she said as they exited the same hidden door. "We'll lead them deeper away from this passage so they don't come across it, ill fated. Let them come to us.."
