Sitting on a mini throne behind Aqualad, Aizen watchs everyone in the ċȯċkpit. The terror twins then begin a loud discussion on their distrust of Tigress, she stumps the two by doing the villain equivalent of saying she'll tell the teacher on them and they stop talking. Aizen stands up, walking towards Tigress and Aqualad. He then walks past Aqualad and gets close to Tigress, giving her a kind and reassuring smile.

" You're teammates will trust you in time, villains aren't the most understanding or relaxed type. Nice to meet you, formally, by the way. I'm Sosuke Aizen, you can just call me Aizen." He says while reaching out to her with a handshake.

Tigress- "I understand the mentality, It's an honor to meet you, formally, Aizen."

She responds as she grabs his hand.

Aizen's look changes for a moment, his eyes glance down, "What a lovely necklace you have, where did you get it?"

Tigress immediately responds, "An old friend gave it to me as a gift."

Aizen smiles and gentle moves his hand towards the necklace and grabs it, Tigress fights every instinct of hers not to try and make him let it go.

Aizen- "Did you know it was magically enchanted?"

Both Aqualad and Tigress almost flip out at the comment, Tigress however quickly regains her calm.

Tigress- "Indeed I did, it is a luck based charm to increase my chance of survival."

Aizen- " HAHAHAHA, Amazing, a powerful enchantment. What good friends you have Tigress. Kaldur'ahm I have a call I must make, call me when we get to the destination on the tracker."

Kaldur'ahm- "I will make sure to."

Aizen- "That's all I have for this time, we will speak again soon Ra's."

Ra's- "Yes, we will speak soon. Make sure to inform me of any important changes if they occur."

Aizen then ends the call, instantly using sonido to get outside his room. Catching Tigress trying to sneak away down the hall.

Aizen- "I understand distrust but it is rude to listen in on some else's calls, please come in sit with me."

Aizen says as he keeps his door open and gestures Tigress to come inside. She and he both know this isn't really a question and she walks forward going in. She sits in a chair across from Aizen's desk as he goes about the area behind it grabbing two glasses.

Tigress- "Wine."

Aizen hums to himself as he switches the second glass to a wine glass and pulls out the wine from a hidden freezer compartment. After pouring their drinks he sits down across from her, the air is tense on her side but Aizen seems completely relaxed as he takes a sip of his drink and leans back.

Aizen- "No need to be so nervous, have a drink and relax Tigress."

Tigress- "I just don't usually drink on the job especially not with my boss."

Aizen- "Well it's lucky that your off the clock and I'm not technically your boss then huh?"

Tigress- "I guess so sir."

Tigress says as she finally sips her wine, it tastes great but it flavor is drowned out by her underlying feelings. Aizen turns from her and clicks on a T.V. it shows the entire ship, every room from security room to bathroom.

Aizen- "You know, information is a very powerful ȧsset especially on a ship full of murders, traitors, and villains. So Artemis, you and Aqualad are working to infiltrate the Light right?"

Tigress is shocked by the revelation, even more so by what he shows next.

The T.V. switchs video feed to a recorded meeting of the talk between her, Aqualad, Nightwing, and Kid Flash.

Aizen- "It must seem weird to you that I haven't stopped you, it's simple really, destroying the Light doesn't bother me however this is a warning if you come after me and my group I'll kill you and Aqualad then track down your boy-toy Kid Flash and kill him to. Do we have an accord Artemis?"

Artemis- "Yes sir."

Aizen smiles- "Good, finish your wine and leave. Queen Bee is going to be calling me soon and that's gonna get graphic. Goodnight """Tigress""". "

Tigress chugs the glass and responds with a nod and quiet goodnight.

Aizen watches his old teammate leave, pouring himself another glass, taking off his glasses and slicking his hair back.

Aizen- "Who doesn't love a dramatic reveal? I should visit Queen Bee in person soon if I don't I'll have to start sleeping with the female terror twin."
