❛   your warrior runes are beautiful,   ❜  she smiled. she’d learned from her studies in themyscira that warriors of different civilizations tattooed themselves to show status, or even to boast their headcount. hers, however, seemed less like symbols of battle and more like a story, each part twisting into another cohesively. she wished to know the stories behind each one, so she looked at her, hoping the stranger would indulge her.

her gaze searched his for a split second. ❛   never mind that. what happened to you ?   ❜  it was a question she’d been wanting to ask as soon as she’d seen his wanted poster, and all the advertisements warranting his arrest on every news channel. she’d done her research into the accords and yet, diana still struggled to understand why the country deemed him a bad man. decades later, the way mankind made their laws was still beyond her understanding or approval. ❛   you are a good man. how could they do this ?   ❜   diana had every mind to storm down and demand that they redact this ridiculous punishment. times were different now; they would listen to her. ❛   i had hoped we would meet on different terms, not like this.   ❜

     ❛    𝐈𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐌𝐘 𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐄, 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐋,   ❜        there was warmth and kindness behind her words, poised regally behind a honey - sultry voice.   ❛    it is ... awesome to meet you, too.   ❜  the warrior - princess nodded, agreeing to a rematch some other time. she was curious about the energy carol’s fists emitted and would have loved to see more of it in action later. the wonder woman looked around curiously, a hand squarely placed on her hip.  ❛    so, are you part of this ... avengers ?   ❜   it was only her first day here so she was trying to scope out what they did, and who exactly these people were besides their public face.   ❛    who is your leader ?   ❜ 

pick your battles. pick… pick fewer battles than that. put some battles back. that’s too many 

❛    my name is diana, of themyscira, and where i come from,   ❜   she said as she roved her fingers over the buttons.  ❛    gods are not taken prisoner.   ❜  without much hesitation, the warrior - princess pressed the button to release him from his magical chamber. the chains still bound him but without the wall, perhaps they could communicate a bit more freely. it wasn’t like diana was afraid, no-----------she fully believed she could handle whatever mischief the male could get up to. with lightning speed, diana hurled her lasso of truth around loki’s waist, jerking him up and closer to her by coiling the other end of the gold - hot ropes a few times around her wrist.   ❛    the lasso of hestia compels you to tell the truth,   ❜  she ordered firmly.  ❛    now, for what purpose did these men keep you, a god, prisoner ?   ❜  

      ❛    𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐌𝐄   ?   ❜        diana tilted her head just slightly, hand gripped around carol’s wrist to tug her onto her feet. oh, she must mean warrior - types like her, which the paradise was populated with. it probably would have been every man’s dream to live there, but a woman ? she had never met a female human to describe her homeland as heaven until now. the hand in hers turned into a polite shake of solidarity.  ❛    i’m diana of themyscira,   ❜  she nodded.  ❛    it was, perhaps next time i can see you at your fullest capabilities, carol,   ❜  the wonder woman teased, as she’d felt carol had been sparing her her true skill.  

diana vc: men are essential for procreation but when it comes to pleasure ... unnecessary

     ❛    𝐈𝐓'𝐒 𝐀 𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐌𝐄𝐄𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔, 𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐍,   ❜       diana greeted, offering an open hand to the super soldier first. he may not know of her, but she did of him, the glorified hero who’d been excavated from the ice nearly seventy years later. she’d been there, fought on a battlefield not too far from his, and yet they’d never crossed paths until now.   ❛   my name is diana prince,   ❜   she introduced herself.   ❛    i’ve been told that you are the leader of the avengers.   ❜   

      ❛    𝐎𝐇, 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐀𝐃𝐎𝐑𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄   !   ❜       the warrior - princess couldn’t contain her glee upon seeing the furry creature walking about. the clothes that fit on him were just the cutest thing. diana squatted down, arms crossed on top of her bent knees. there was a twinkle in her gaze as she waited for rocket to speak once more.   ❛    will you speak again for me  ?   ❜

        ❛    𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐀 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐄𝐑,   ❜        diana praised as she offered carol an open hand. encouraging another woman, and sharing with her the adrenaline of a fair fight reminded her of her homeland.  ❛    themyscira would have been delighted to have you.   ❜   she was no amazonian, but her strength was unparalleled, even among their strongest.
