Immediately after he ordered the children back into the Pelicans for their first test: They had to HALO jump from them. Susan wasn't particularly scared of heights, but the thought of jumping from so high gave her as much fear as any of the other children. Despite this she went onto the Pelican like all the rest of the children. She was forced into the back of the Pelican and had to wait as the other children jumped or refused. Next to her stood a young Hispanic boy who introduced himself as Carlos. He told her how scared of heights he was and proposed that they jump together. She agreed. As the last kid in front of them jumped out she and Carlos walked up to the bay door, holding hands, and jumped. In the months after the first day Carlos and Susan were formed into Team Charlie consisting of them, Antonin-B235, and Harry-B155.
