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.

Gritting her teeth, Jesse allows the momentum of the blow to help her pick up speed again. As she does, she notices Antaeus floating up off the seafloor, and changes direction towards him, preparing to hit him full force with both fists.

Omen moves purposefully into Chemo's path of forward advancement. Nothing catches the attention like a bright red cape and hood. She ventures dangerously close, intending to make herself the ultimate annoyance.

Tempest holds Dolphin in his arms, pulling fresh water to surround her. He won't let Dolphin die from Chemo.

He's already lost one love to this mindless chemical beast, and no matter how many problems there may be between him and Dolphin, he can't let her die.

She feels the fear, the uncertainty, the deep concern. It's almost overwhelming. Raven considers him a friend, which is not a common occurrence for her. She knows it's going to hurt.. a lot.. but she's a wife and a mother and Raven cannot let her die.

She reaches down and puts her hands on Dolphin, and draws the poison in.

The pictures are like that out of a movie screen, flat, with no emotion of their own. Even the birth of her child.

Memories of a night of entertainment ending in a murder for her honor... (http://community.livejournal.com/jla_watchtower/608049.html)

The feeling of fire under water, of intoxication and fear building more rapidly within the empath then she can control! It struggles to reach her demon side and bring it forth. And that's when what she sees becomes more of a blur. More distant. Images of spaceships and dolphin pods shatter under the image of marble and the taste of salt water.

There is nothing to grab within Garth's bride and Raven feels herself begin to drown in the reflections and movie images of this woman's life. (http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2007/05/31/top-five-worst-superhero-marriages/)

It takes all of Raven's willpower to pull back from what she's seen. The poison rages through her veins, seductive in it's call to a quiet, peaceful place that she dreams will one day be her reward.

No.

The pain is searing, and she holds it, nurtures it, demands it to keep her separate and sane. She releases the energy then, letting the energy go where it will do no harm.

She gives a sad look to Garth, but fortunately it's concealed under her hood.
