The Speech

[middle-amazon.livejournal.com]

This plot is on bendy time

The procession was uneventful. The stone podium in front of the Regent and the Regent's family awaits the wayward princess of the Amazons. Flanked by an honor guard of Titans magically able to breathe the water like air and survive the pressures of the deep and a council of those still proclaiming and interest in a kingdom falling apart at the seams.

This better be good - and she's not half as good as Diana.

"Regent. Lady Dolphin. Honored Council."

"As you and your people are aware, there was a great war on the surface between two great nations, Themyscira and the United States. This conflict was caused in part by the villain Circe and the War God of our -"

Water carries sound even faster then air. All heads turn towards the sound of rubble as the earth and water shake around them.

The brute howls in pain. "MOTHER! Save Me!" He shouts, but she not be able to save him as he floats in the water.

Now!

He doesn't have Donna's strength, but he's got something else: determination in spades, and using the fallen column as leverage, two booted feet coming right up under this guy's chin.

See you back in Hell, momma's boy.

Donna maneuvers to Antaeus' back. As his head snaps back, Troia catches the undead giant around his waist and cracks his back. Knowing he heal even from death if he touches he ground she ties his listless form to a roof.

"Quick! I don't know if something in Chemo might wake him back up!"

Don't worry. I've got that covered.

It'll take most of the sedatives he has with him, but the prospect of this guy coming to takes preference over his inventory. He looks over at Donna, assessing her state.

Are you alright?

"For now," she answers. She's battered and internal injuries are likely. "Some has to keep him from the ground!" In a lower voice. "Watch Raven with the poisons. Her emotional control has seemed troubled recently."

He looks dubious at her assertion, but there's no time to argue. He looks around, seeking something that can be improvised to keep the body afloat.

There. Those lantern buoys. We can use the tethering ropes for restraints.

He makes a beeline for them, using the edge of a 'rang to slice them from their moorings. When he returns with a cluster of them in hand, he looks at Donna.

She's not the only one.

"I know." She looks down at the broken Antaeus. "Titan killers. Someone knows us. I'll work on the tether. There may be civilians down there." Or worse - politicians making a show they aren't afraid.
