Somewhere in New Jersey

The Titans' arrival is silent and swift, determined and precise. Before the shadow of the jet falls over the state line, Nightwing is relaying the plan to the rest of the team.

"Starfire, flank the building and come around from the rear. Hit it hard, make sure they can't get out. Robin, hit the power on that place. Don't wait, Wonder Girl and Nightstar - get inside and do what you do best. Kid Flash, Jesse, you're looking for anything in there while they're being kept busy that can give us an edge on this damned virus. Omen, keep tabs on any magic users in there. Flamebird, Speedy, follow me in after the heavy hitters do their thing. We're on cleanup."

He pauses to check the instrumentation. "And whoever finds Light... make sure you hurt him."

Lasso tangled about her arm she hauls back and puts all her effort to hitting Starfire in the face.

Sometimes it's all you can do when words aren't registering and you're being strangled.

Starfire's grip loosens as her nose begins to bleed from Diana's blow, and the two warriors begin to spin wildly over the Atlantic as the Tamaranean tries to shake the Amazon free.

Diana draws in a badly needed breath as the grip loosens, not even trying to correct their course. Right now she may get slammed into the waves with the force of a crashing jet plane but all she can do is try to hang on.

Her grip slips and she is flung away from Starfire at top speed.

Like the raptors of her lost homeworld, she stoops and follows her prey.

She is disoriented for a moment and relaxes into the fall until she knows which way is up, but keeps her body limp watching the golden form stooping after her.

She waits till the last moment and tries to grab and turn so that Starfire will be the one to hit the water first to take the impact. If it's not done right they'll both hit at the same time.

The spin catches her by surprise, and only her enhanced stamina saves her bones from breaking as she hits the ocean's surface.

It wasn't all that pleasant for Diana either but she manages to not inhale the water.

"Stop this madness, there is something amiss here."

The only answer is one of Starfire's boots heading towards Diana's knee.

The water keeps her from breaking it but she has to fly up out of reach to avoid another blow.

"I do not wish to harm you!" The lasso is still out and she flicks her arm sending it towards the Tamaranian

She pulls up into a loop, trying to escape the lasso, but it winds around her ankle, interrupting her flight with an abrupt jerk.

She does not have time for this.

"Listen to me, how did you track Light to Star Labs? How do you know that you are not attacking innocents?"

"I...." She shakes her head, uncertain if the sudden disorientation is the result of battlefield anesthesia wearing off, or something more....
