Amethyst<br/><br/>Watching Ravager charge, Amethyst seemed to know what was coming. Soon her stance for a sweeping attack, switched to a plan to drive the sword into the floor directly in front of her. At the last possible second, she did exactly that, polevaulting herself over Rose and letting their swords speak.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkorchid">"Well played. Probably wouldn't have expected it if the dark lord himself didn't pull a similar stunt. His own daughter cleaved him in half for his intent. You're aware of the famed Excalibur of British lore? Same thing applies to mine, The Diamond Cutter. Once planted, only it's rightful owner can pull it free, again."</span>Unfortunately, to polevault high enough, to execute a flawless cat twisting and arching flip to prevent an in air swipe... Amethyst had to release her sword. Even though Rose wouldn't be able to pull it free... She was closer, putting Amethyst at a clear disadvantage for retrieval.<br/><br/>Artemis<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkturquoise">"Reflexes and sight like a, well, tiger... Had to hone them more... Never crazy about it... Took away my archery practice... Felt I was going to get rusty... Arrow trained me... As good as him... His second protogé, however... Surpasses us both... Truth is truth."</span>She had taken bites out of the muffin while walking up the steps and explaining to Atalanta. Soon they stopped at room 11. She pushed open the door, which squeaked. Artemis visibly scowled.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkturquoise">"I thought Olive was going to oil that. Unless you like creaky, creepy squeaks... May have to do it yourself. Sorry."</span><br/><br/>Ember<br/><br/>Olive looked at Nightstar, then Oracle who went right into the briefing.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:orangered">"You both said what now?"</span>She waved off the answers.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:orangered">"I heard. I just don't believe what I'm hearing..."</span><br/><br/>Kara (and NPCs)<br/><br/>Kara didn't know enough to keep her big mouth shut.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:lemonchiffon">"Hey! That gem was mine! Besides... I don't bend the knee to no one!"</span><br/><br/>Lobo winced, as did Lois. "Dumb girly! Ya jus' gotcherself frakked!"<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rosybrown">"Nice knowing you, Smallville. I don't know how I'm going to explain this to Clark, your brother."</span><br/><br/>Oracle<br/><br/>Barbara didn't have time to frown at Mar'i for her retaliation plans, or really Olive for her words. She addressed Mar'i first.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkorange">"I relayed that to him myself. You and Artemis/Tigress have fought together. Olive tried to help, but as you said, she didn't have control. We're just lucky it was the Hatter and Riddler, and not the big guns. I reminded him also of JL's strained public relations. He reminded ME in his all so subtle way, that Freya and Amethyst are both seasoned warriors. One was a Viking from the very time frame that most those relics are from. The other just fought a war. I hate to add to the stress, but those two need to be reminded they are to do their best to not kill, and the warrior princess needs to learn quickly how to charge as well as defend."</span>She shook her head.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkorange">"There's also the unseasoned speedsters. Both of them. Velocity still thinks this is some immense video game, which is why I got on her after you did. Atalanta is untested, but came highly recommended from the Texas Rangers. Especially, Walker."</span>She rubbed her temples and let out a sigh.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkorange">"I think Batman doesn't want another Slade fiasco. The public, as you stated, isn't too thrilled with the JL, blaming us and Arkham for not holding on to Slade for the death of the Norwegian Princess...<br/>
We're just lucky Queen Elsa hasn't declared war on us. We WON'T win that one."</span>She looked solemnly at the new YJ leader.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:darkorange">"One more thing. Speedy is your friend and was ordered to play dumb. She's kicking herself enough. If anything, she may be scheming herself, her intelligence got a major hit after all."</span>She purposely didn't say anything about Batman. She felt he did need taken down a few notches.<br/><br/>Velocity<br/><br/>Velocity raised an eyebrow as the changling moved almost in her line of vision.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:hotpink">"Green Arrow wants us all to eat healthier. That includes balanced meals and fiber. I was told to enforce it on my days to cook. Which reminds me... I need to figure out dinner."</span>She reached for Arrow's orders.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:hotpink">"I need to show this to Nightstar. Even if it gets me in more trouble."</span>
