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.

Raven uses her empathy to seek out the source of the disappointment.

Jesse slows down and stops next to Santana. Kneeling down, she first checks to make sure Santana is still breathing, and then looks over at Nightwing.

Over the comms, she says, "She seems to be fine, but we should get her checked out. And..." Jesse looks around, seeming to finally see the resulting chaos of the attack. "Do they want us around to try to figure out how this happened?"

Nightwing is a short distance away kneeling in the morass of mud; his form partially oscured by the floating mud still settling around them after the fight. He's assessing Troia's condition, coming up with a mental checklist of her injuries. They don't seem life-threatening, but they -are- unpleasant. And Lily's disappeared -- he can only assume she's overextended herself in her efforts and needed to retreat.

He looks around them, gauging the mood of the scattered populace and of the team.

Not how he says eventually. Who.

"let's get these people cleared out, if we can, and then do some checking..." Jesse takes a look around and starts getting a sense of the general feelings from the crowd. In other words, the crowd is not feeling particularly friendly towards the group.

He doesn't look optimistic about that. If their mood was hostile to start with, it's likely to be downright riotous now.

I don't think anything we say right now is going to help matters. If anyone can make them listen, it's Garth.

Then he realizes Santana's down, too. Damn. He nods toward her.

Is Santana alright?

"I think so. Pulse seemed regular." Jesse continues to scan the crowd, looking specifically for Garth.
