THE AMAZONIAN LEANS BACK IN HER SEAT blowing out a breath then looking off to the side. a small smile on her lips, " i like it here ... it's peaceful, quiet. almost makes you forget the chaos in the world. " she speaks softly, watch the sun rise in the distance, casting light over the farm. " not sure how you ever leave it. "

" WELL, I WILL SAY ONE THING, SUBTLETY HAS never been your forte. " she speaks in a low voice to rick, glancing around the place before giving him a pointed look. thought the man was supposed to be a bat of stealth. instead she was certain he was nearly attempting to see how much effort it would take to wake up the entire city. so far, he was nearly succeeding. without much further complaint, she moves into the warehouse. her guard up, prepared for whatever may come their way.

HER BODY SHIFTS WHEN SHE FEELS HIM GET out of bed, features scrunching when her peaceful rest is disturbed. diana lifts her head, blinking a few times to focus her gaze on the retreating form that pauses just in front of the large windows. she draws in a breath, " what are you doing? come back to bed... " her voice is rough from sleep, a clear sign that she definitely hadn't been prepared to wake up just yet. their meeting with the new meta-human wasn't for another three hours. they'd need all the rest they could get to give it their full focus.

" ALRIGHT, SO IF THEY'RE COMING NO MATTER what, then why do we not take the fight to them? " she inquires with a gentled nature, brown hues taking in the captain. diana trusted his judgment, there was no question about that here. there was a certain perk to forcing their adversary to make the first move on their grounds, the home field advantage, but it also opened the window of opportunity to allow them much too close to more innocent lives. was that truly a risk that the team could take?

@shieldrevive : you are mine

with steve gone, her belief's broken and scattered, she'd created a sense of normalcy for herself. one that would be filled with a quiet sort of life, taking care of artifacts that came through whichever museum she found herself working in. her knowledge of history in every culture scattered over the globe, gave her the opportunity to be of assistance wherever she went.

it worked for her.

she'd settled into a more quiet, mundane life minding her own business as wars raged through the masses. it wasn't until things began to truly shift with a more ominous power. the norse god that made his appearance, the brother that was greedy for more power. it wasn't until she'd truly paid attention that the realization had hit --- steve was back. they'd pulled him from the water and gave him life once more. it was like a smack in the face. diana had thought him gone forever. she'd mourned him. her heart aching for the man that was too good for this world. courageous and willing to do anything he could for a place that had always looked down on him. for the one who gave her hope in the world and the people in it.

she'd hesitated. for the first time in her life, diana was filled with indecision over what her plan of action would be. did she join the fight and face her lack of action for the past few decades to once more be at the captain's side? or did she remain her bubble so she did not have to face the heartache of society letting her down once more.

was there actually a choice?

no. which was why she found herself running through streets, a trail of lifeless alien creatures left behind her as she worked to save those that she could and make her way towards the group that fought for the city. it wasn't long before she spotted him. the sight threatened to steal her breath away, but she forced herself to focus as her heart stuttered in her chest. a few more moments and she was dropping in front of him, knees bending to soften the impact of her landing.

diana squatted down to the man that had pain contorting his features. his actions slow while she reached out a hand to his arm, " easy captain ... take a breath. the fight has momentarily stalled. " she speaks to him in a soft manner, her gaze filled with concern and a hint of admiration.

A SMIRK CURLS ON FULL LIPS, ENTIRELY unbothered as she shrugs her shoulders, " you're only upset because even with the newest tweaks i still managed to get through your security without tripping it. just .. see it as me helping you better your security. you're welcome. " diana says with a playful nature, sitting beside him then glancing over the monitor, " what are you doing? "
