[hey, it's Optimus Prime's Monodramon]

So, Optimus is always busy making sure the city is safe and all since the Blackout. Sure, whatever. If he wants to drive himself to exhaustion, that's no skin off my scales.

But I had a thought.

Optimus is basically the commander of all you "Autobot" guys, right?

And I'm his partner.

So that means... I'm in command of all the Autobots' digimon, aren't I?

You guys better fall in line! And start kissing up to me, I may take favor on you later!

... I never thought of it that way.

But if everyone listens to me like they should, it shouldn't be a problem.

And I didn't make myself leader. The Digital World made me leader when I got my partner!

You're not going to get people to follow you that way. You've gotta prove that you have something worth listening to. How'd you like it if someone just randomly claimed themselves to be leader and started bossing YOU around without proving themselves to be capable first? I'm telling you, you're only going to tick your team's digimon off that way.

Still doesn't work that way.

... Dude, you just described what it's like to have a human partner to begin with.

((OOC: The scary part is he has a point...))

[Sigh] That's different. That's your human partner. Even then I didn't immediately trust everything Kaldur said. I needed to see that he wasn't a complete idiot.

You need to show your team that you aren't a complete idiot and they might start to respect and listen to you.
