It was an easy choice for the young princess. He said something about ‘a bigger plan’ at foot.. or something. And that was enough incentive.<br/><br/>She was staying at a hotel suite right across from Marsten Building, a very luxurious room that the U.N. was willing to pay for. The proximity gave her time to get out of the diplomatic arena and into a different sort of arena. She quickly flew to her suite (balcony door was always unlocked) and get a few pieces of gear. That done… she gave chase. Spotting a Batmobile isn’t all that difficult from the air, after all.<br/><br/>Batman stops at another building.. it almost looks like there’s some kind of function there. Diana had heard there was some.. fundraiser or show or something in this part of town tonight. She almost considered checking it out. And it looks like now she is. The Batman makes his way up and up.. Diana hovering high in the air. She spots a skylight he’s going towards, and she squints a little to get a better look inside. From this distance.. it just looks like chaos. And then Batman literally jumps in.<br/><br/>Seeing him act so recklessly is a little surprising. Thus far he had seemed to be more calculating than anything, and has an obvious flair for the dramatic. Perhaps the latter is what he is going for. She still hangs there high in the air.. and that’s when she hears that awful roar. Her eyes widen, and she realizes no small beast could create such a sound. And given the context of what she sees down there.. it’s most likely not a beast of good will.<br/><br/>“Excellent.”<br/><br/>She says excitedly, and she leans her body downwards.. and she shoots herself towards the now broken skylight. She immediately sees three polar bears, looking as if they are about to charge. Or at least attack whatever is close. They seem a little spooked, for a moment seeming to lose the will to fight. Were they the sources of that roar she heard? The red and blue laden Amazon Princess reaches to her hip, pulling from it’s clip her Golden Lasso. Or more properly.. the Lariat of Hestia. She’s not even through the skylight yet as she twirls the softly glowing lasso above her head, and she hurls it’s large loop down towards the three polar bears. It loops around the muzzle of one of the polar bears, and with a loud thud she lands next to another one of them. It roars angrily as she looks up to it… and she grins a little. What a superb beast! She glances over her shoulder as she feels the third one now charging towards her. Ah, good she has their attention on her, so they won’t go after anyone else yet. She plants one of her feet as she tugs harshly on her lasso, causing the first polar bear to be dragged towards her, despite it’s efforts to break free. She pushes herself back and loops around the charging polar bear, her lasso also looping around it’s body. Her hands move quickly to make a new loose knot, and she tugs on the lasso, causing the two bears to crash into one another. Her blue eyes snap towards the third, and she races towards it, getting some slack on her line. The polar bear swipes it’s very large clawed paw at her, but she almost effortlessly leans out of it’s path. She loops her lasso around that outstretched paw, and then up along it’s shoulder. Once more she tightens the line, and the third polar bear is trapped against the other two. Diana leaps up, and grasping her lasso with both hands she pulls the polar bears up, up, up, up and out of the skylight. The ones that can roar do so as they are hauled off.. but silence themselves once they realize they are no longer on solid ground. They struggle fruitlessly to get out of the lasso’s bindings, but they never will. Diana lands on the roof with the polar bears, and she secures the free end of her lasso to a large stone fixture there. The polar bears won’t be able to go anywhere, nor will they hurt themselves. She brushes her hands off as she steps back, speaking in a compassionate tone  “I offer my humble apologies to you, majestic ones. But I have to leave you here for now. I shall return.”  She nods to them as she turns, sprinting back to the skylight.<br/><br/>She leaps through and hangs there in the air, assessing the situation. The Batman is facing down some.. oddly dressed.. men. An armored man that seemed to be fighting a red blur.. some kind of weapon? But what truly stands out to her in this image of weirdness is the woman upon the stage. Some armed men now make their way towards her.. and while Diana can sense an aura of magic about the woman, she is about to be outnumbered, and the men are armed.  “Cowards.”  She hisses as she now lands between the oncoming thugs and Zatanna. One of the men opens fire with a pistol, and one of Diana’s hands moves almost in a blur. The bullet strikes the bracelets she wears, and it is safely deflected away. Another with a machine gun now opens fire on Zatanna and Diana, and with nearly the same amount of effort each and every bullet deflects off of her bracelets, her arms almost seeming to blur. He stops firing, and suddenly Diana is upon him. She grips the hot barrel of his gun and yanks it away from him, pulling him a little with it. She then smashes the gun against his head, knocking him out instantly. A fist to the gut of the other henchmen makes him crumble to the ground. Another henchman with a knife emerges behind Zatanna and starts towards her. Diana scoops up the half broken machine gun and hurls it towards the thug, hitting him square between the eyes. He cries out as his head snaps back, and he’s unconscious before he hits the ground. Diana now moves back towards Zatanna, surveying the rest of the battlefield. Her voice comes forth in an enthusiastic tone, a wide excited grin on her lips.   “Have no fear, sister. They will know defeat this day. All of them!”  She clenches her hand into a fist and eyeballs the remaining thugs as she grins widely, thugs who are now untangling themselves from the wires.. and having serious second thoughts about whether or not this is worth what they are being paid..<br/><br/>
