<hr/><div class="floatleft">(https://media.melty.fr/fond_dossier-3216964-head/aquaman-jason-momoa-justice-league-james.jpg)</div><strong>Character Name:</strong>Arthur Curry<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>Thursday the 2nd of May 2019<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Downtown Gotham City<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>as pictured<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Superman/Kal-El, Kara Zor-El/Powergirl, Cali/Supergirl, Bruce Wayne/Batman, OPEN.<br/><strong>Warnings:</strong>forgive forgive forgive.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Bruce’s voice echoed in the distance, and Arthur’s senses were able to capture the Batman’s words, which confirmed most of his deductions.<br/>Superman’s rampage was unnatural, and forced. Either by manipulation, infection or else, this was not the Man of Steel who defeated the general Zod and Steppenwolf, this was not the hero Arthur knew.<br/>And this was enough to confirm Arthur’s decisions were right. Protect Gotham, protect the fools willing to take on Superman on their own...protect Superman.<br/><br/>Arthur’s eyes had turned to gold as he allowed more lightnings to run along the entire length of Atlan’s Trident.<br/>He did not care about the sharp words Cali addressed him with. Arthur, Aquaman, had been mocked by the Terrans for as long as he could remember:<br/><br/><em>“Do you eat fish ? Talking to turtle does slow your brain, right ? How do you deal with toilets in Atlantis, I mean underwater ?”<br/></em><br/>Another insult would not change his state of mind. It was only when people witnessed his true powers, that Arthur gained their respect.<br/>Fighting for both worlds was not easy.<br/>He was closing on Superman, who had started creating chaos again, on street level, when the kryptonian woman confronted by Powergirl spoke again.<br/>At first she seemed to agree with Arthur trying to reason Superman. But then, she changed her mind, escaping from Powergirl’s ice breath attack, she took Superman in a one-on-one close combat.<br/><br/><strong>“What is it in -not engaging Superman and not destroying Gotham- that you don’t understand ?</strong>” Arthur screamed at her. But it was too late, she and Clark were two blurred shape, fighting at high speed.<br/><br/>The King of Atlantis scanned the surrounding, noticing that more and more superpowered beings were converging here and against Superman. Many he had never seen before. Of course, the medias were transmitting images of Downtown Gotham, and it was clear that more and more heroes were going to try and stop the Man of Steel.<br/>Merely a coincidence.<br/><br/>Finally, the exchange between Cali and Superman stopped with both adopting a fighting stance. They were probably about to start again soon. In such a situation, he could not use the Trident without risking to hurt Cali.<br/><br/>He finally saw it. Whatever was around his neck was not there before.<br/><strong>“Bruce ? He’s wearing some strange jewel”</strong>,  Arthur said through his JLA comlink.<br/><br/><strong>“Move away now !” </strong>He told Cali without ceremony.<br/>The gold of his eyes grew more intense as he started to run. Arthur’s Trident did not seem to be made of metal but of lightnings at this point. He needed to conduct this power at Clark and him only.<br/><br/>Fire hydrants.<br/><br/>Arthur, while running, pointed the Trident at Superman and the lightning emerging from the Atlantean artifact missed badly the Man of Steel.<br/>The bolt of electricity passed far on Superman’s right, but contacted with precision a fire hydrant located on the other end of the street. The connection point to water literally exploded under the impact, and as a result an immense amount of water was propulsed in the air.<br/><br/>Arthur closed his free hand in a fist, and aimed it at Superman. The King of Atlantis took control of the water roaming like a beast in the air and a continuous flow of water fell over the Man of Steel, who royally ignored it. Clark was only looking at its close adversaries with hatred in his eyes.<br/>The Trident of Atlan was then aimed directly at Superman, and Arthur halted his run. The magic contained into this Artifact, turned into lightning, emerged from the points of the weapon, connected with the Man of Steel and spread onto the enraged Kryptonian’s frame.<br/><br/>It was going to knock Clark out for good.<br/>Superman flinched. Growled. Bent. Stepped back under the impact. But the Man of Steel never screamed nor passed out. Finally, Superman was sent flying backwards and landed hardly on his back, among the rubble and the wreckage he had created.<br/>Fumes elevated from the Kryptonian’s shoulders.<br/><br/>Superman moved slowly up, and his eyes turned red. The heat ray connected Arthur with incredible strength sending him flying backwards, at his turn.<br/>
