Allie had to admit he was right. They'd get more morphs than just the ones they had. She herself had seen a lot of animals at the ranch that might be useful in their own ways. He started asking what she'd meant by animals doing what her cat couldn't, and she had to think about the best way to answer that.
"Well," she said. "My cat's able to jump, but not very high. It can climb things, and it has claws and teeth but in a fight it wouldn't be that great. Also, it's stealthy and blends into and urban setting because I could look like a stray." She paused. "But there are things it can't do. Flying and swimming definitely, but it's also not the greatest for escape nor for fighting if needed. Other animals can do that better."

Leroy swallowed hard as Allie mentioned using morphs for fighting. "Do you think we will really have to fight?" he asked meekly. For some reason that possibility had never occurred to him. "I sure hope we don't have to."
Still, Leroy knew it was foolish to think otherwise. The original animorphs had used their animal forms for fighting all the time. And as a new animorph, he could only expect to get into similar situations. Leroy got a sinking feeling in his stomach. He really didn't want to have to fight.

She sighed when he asked if they'd have to fight, looking down at the floor. "A part of me hopes we won't, but the job description made us sound like sort of an elite police force or task force. From that, I would figure there will be some conflicts we'll end up getting into and when that happens we'll want morphs that can do some damage."
She looked at the floor, considering her words again before adding. "It's like someone carrying a gun for protection. You have it even though you hope you never have to use it." Only.... hoping that might not work with us. What have we gotten ourselves into here? We really didn't think much about this did we?

Leroy certainly didn't feel elite. Not for the first time, he wondered why he was chosen by SPECTER. Neither he nor Allie seemed very qualified for this sort of thing. Although, admittedly, he had only just met Allie.
"Yeah, I hope we don't have to fight either, but I suppose you are right that we should at least be prepared. Still, I have no idea what kind of animal I would want to be in a fight. Maybe something big? Or fast." Leroy had no clue. "How about you?"
