Not sure Taylor would refuse to go fight an Endbringer, but I do imagine that she would refuse to go as Phase and instead go as Ghost just to fuck with the PRT and Protectorate. After all Taylor is the girl who went out to be a vigilante despite being a member of the Wards on paper along with her canon mentality to try and do something that matters even at risk to herself, plus I imagine that realistically Wards aren't allowed to volunteer or be asked to attend Endbringer battles unless they have x amount of experience and training especially if the Endbringer is the Simurgh.
But I do understand where Taylor is coming from with her reactions to Nebula and Roulette pressuring her to go, which would probably be more effective at getting her not to go then any argument to try and stop her from going. Unfortunately I don't think that was what the two of them were attempting to do with Taylor there, if anything I imagine the two of them will attempt to shame Taylor for not going to fight the Endbringer. But yeah the PRT and Protectorate did nothing when two Wards attempted to kill Taylor and even had Taylor removed from the city to silence her so Taylor.does have a good example to prove her point if anyone tries to call her out for thinking that way.
Besides that this gives me an idea for when Leviathan attacks Brockton and Taylor goes as Ghost only for Armsmaster to pull his canonically truce breaking fuck up and just so happening to get Taylor caught in the blast radius.
I have to wonder if calling Taylor Phase all the time is in anyways dehumanizing. Like that is not her name she didn't pick it or accept it but you seem intent to label her that against her will. If anything calling her Ghost would be more appropriate but that would make the PRT give ground to her which they simply will bot do.Which is another point, Armstrong still calls her Phase. Gauss? Never does in the snippet, calling her Hebert and Taylor. Accepting they aren't anywhere near close enough to bring her on as a cape, much less a Ward.
Edit: Plus calling her by her Wards name instead of her real one just shows her that they see her more of a tool or asset than as a person.
