After smiling and winking at the Dux currently drawing on the tablet Zatanna had magically summoned up- much to his bewilderment- she turned to the person nearby with a somewhat amused expression. “That’s Domitius. He’s drawing me a map of the current Roman territories. He’s been very nice, though I do think he’s operating under the suspicion I’m a goddess.” Not that she’d discouraged that at all. “He does definitely want to claim the city for the Empire, though, so that’s something we’ll have to sort out.”

Diego places a hand on his hip, dressed up in his police uniform trying to keep his focus on Zatanna Esther than the Roman for now — who was called Domitius. It does help having a name at least. “Do they think they’re still in their world just somewhere new? Which is why they want to conquer us or whatever? It can’t happen, so we have to try talking them out of it before they try anything. Any ideas? Maybe making them think you’re a goddess is a good idea — we should go with that. It’s better than a war.”

“oh boy,“ natasha muttered to herself as she reached to tie her hair up and away from her face. she stood standing at the edge of the police building, watching the romans carefully, assessing the situation and debating if she should get involved at all. silently, she pushed down off the ledge and made her way to the ground before approaching what seemed to be the man in charge. <you’re far from home - don’t you think it’s time to head back?> she asked in latin, easing into a smile. the man eyed her warily before responding, giving her the expression that he was not leaving and this land was to be for the glory of the roman empire. typical. sighing, nat turned to look at the nearest resident of new gotham. “looks like we’ll have to send them packing, they don’t want to play nice.” she paused and scrunched up her nose, “you think we can threaten them with a godly power?”

Diego of course had to have just clocked in an hour before this started — standing outside of the police station in his uniform. He tilts his head observing the conversation between the woman who dropped down out of nowhere and one of the romans. Diego has a gun, a few knives hidden, and whatever else was typically carried — but doesn’t take them out. He knows better than to aggravate an enemy before knowing the whole situation, besides he was seen as a cop right now. He could be home right now if not covering this shift for someone. “I agree that we have to send them packing, but we need to do this carefully without starting some sort of war with them. Too many people would get hurt. Do you think we could do that? Any ideas what we could threaten them with? My only power is manipulating thrown objects so that’s not helpful here with your plan.”

“i mean, it’s worth a shot, right? i’d rather do something than stand around and do nothing.” carol replies, shrugging her shoulders. “though i’m not really sure how much damage a bomb would do. i used my powers on this thing, even flew up and charged at it from a distance with them on max, and… nothing.” she sighed. “but hey, probably wouldn’t hurt to try.” as he mentions the ice feeling different, her head tilts to the side slightly and she reaches out to touch it as well, thinking for a moment. “yeah, you’re right. it’s different, i just… i’m not sure how. what do you think?”

Diego has seen a lot of strange things in his lifetime, part of being a SUPERHERO. He hates the word, never feeling like one, it was more like some sort of duty with how his father stressed the importance. No matter, Diego was able to make his own choices now without worrying about making him proud. “If what you can do doesn’t work I’m not sure a bomb would, but better than nothing.” He admits with his arms crossed over his chest. He nudges the ice with his foot though, looking at it for a moment. “I think wherever it comes from was made to keep something in OR all of us out, but why? Normal ice would have broken by now.”

Okay, maybe Magus was enjoy the Earth a little too much, he had an iPhone, Diego’s number, and even made a Mansion for himself - he didn’t believe in personal gain, because there was none. For him at least. But he turned around and went back to the kitchen. He also bought an iPad, gotten wifi, and was watching a youtube video on how to make shrimp scampi. This wasn’t normally him - this wasn’t EVER him. But Diego made him want to be a better person. Yeah he understood that Diego could just mostly want sex, but right now Magus was enjoy the happiness that the man brought him, until it was over. But right now he was enjoying things of life on Earth. He had been around for centuries and never got to enjoy such joys, so now he was going to. 

So his agenda was to feed Diego, love him down, and then just relax and have a nice night with him. Hell, he wasn’t even worried about killing Warlock anymore, but he was sure a brawl would ensure if they ever saw each other, but for the most part he was thinking about how he probably wouldn’t be able to see Diego again if he did something bad. Speaking of he had sent the other his address about thirty minutes ago and the male should be arriving soo- DING DONG. Magus jumped with excitement and rushed to open the door. He pulled Diego into a deep and passionate kiss, before either could say a thing.

@krvkcn​

After everything that happened Diego was looking forward to unwinding a little, being trapped by all of that ice was quite irritating. He just wanted to focus on his family, work, and spending time with Magus. He didn’t expect to ever find himself aching for another like this again — happy for himself AND what could come in the future.  Diego was actually on his way over to see the man, his connection with the other man stronger than just wanting sex. He was a romantic deep down even if they doesn’t show often. He wants Magus to experience such happiness with him.

He shows up to the door, leather pants paired with his combat boots. He had a purple sweater on that his mother bought for him in one of her recent trips — and being the mamas boy that he is would always wear it. Diego rang the doorbell, waiting anxiously for an answer. The door opens, and there’s his signature smile flashed the other‘s way. Diego doesn’t get to say anything before being pulled into a passionate kiss, arms wrapping around Magus’ neck while they kiss. He slowly nudges his way inside while this happens, shutting the door behind him with his left foot.

Five had been without his siblings for decades before managing to show up on the day of reginald’s funeral. He had been on his own for so long, not being used to working as a team anymore. Of course he knew that his siblings had his best interest at heart, but he wouldn’t open up to them or accept their help. But when he did in the end, he just lost them again as he ended up in this new city, having aged about eight years. That’s why it’s still hard for him to accept certain things. “Wow, so even if his body is out there in the water, you’d look for it later? I’m sure he would love to hear that.” Smirking, he just couldn’t help himself. “I don’t know, you also got some dirty cops. I don’t know for sure what kind you are.” Crossing his arms, Diego being a cop would grant him acces to a lot of useful stuff. But obviously not around here, not now. “Yeah, the knives won’t do a damn thing. Trying to carve your way in will probably take days.” The ice was very thick and probably so for a reason. Nodding at his brother, he started listing every single thing they needed. When he was naming them, he realised that they didn’t have much to go on as all he could see when looking around was water, grass and ice.

Diego knows that Five was used to living without them, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be there for each other. Family is important, and truthfully? The man missed those smartass comments from his brother. He rolls his eyes at one now, turning to look at the water. “I don’t see him out there, besides not even HE would be dumb enough to try swimming back. Klaus would come up to me asking me to take him home somehow.” It was how it always was, and he wasn’t an Uber. “My partner is so GOOD that sunshine could burst out of him when he talks if that was possible.” Diego admires Dick in a lot of ways. “I’ll introduce you sometime if we get out of this. I introduced him to mom and pogo when I showed him around the mansion.” It was probably time to introduce his siblings to him at least some of them, maybe not all at once. “It won’t be easy, but we can see what we can find around this place. We can ask around with some of the others? What do you think, Five?”

[krvkcn]

casualxsabotage‌:

“Because it’s just so easy to mess with you.” Five shrugged, always having loved to rile his siblings up. It was just so easy. “Yeah, when has Klaus ever gone through with something he said he would do?” He just wasn’t the most reliable guy. “Let’s just hope his body isn’t out there floating in the water.” Looking back at the fortress, Five had tried using his powers already but they seemed to be blocked. He had asked a few others and even tried to use a little violence but nothing worked. “Or what might be effective is a bomb. Got that on you by any chance? Or maybe we should find some stuff and build one ourselves.” Five had been a professional hitman after the handler had found him so he knew a thing or two about it all. “I’d rather have a cold than die.”

Diego could give his brother that at least, it was easy to get him all riled up. Which is something that needed to be worked on. This moment isn’t the place, instead focusing on trying to figure out a way inside so everyone could be warm. “I would hope it isn’t, but we can look for him later. He could be making friends with some of the other people out here somewhere.” It was his hope after all, but he needs to focus right now. “I don’t have one on me. I’m a cop, I’m pretty sure carrying those around wouldn’t be appropriate. I have knives, but those aren’t going to help us here.” He thinks for a moment, if his brother really wanted one they could make it from some of the technology people have on them. Diego also knows people won’t give that up most likely so who knows? “We could try building one, between the both of us it shouldn’t be hard — do you know what materials we’d need?“ He was the knife guy for a reason.

Diego: I have been alive for almost 30 years and still haven't found the right thing to say when someone knocks on the door of a public bathroom you're in.

Klaus: "Come back with a warrant" is my go-to.

“Maybe that’s what they wanted us to believe.” Five was mostly just messing with him, because it would be pretty impossible for that ship to be in this ice fortress when it’s supposed to be on the bottom of the ocean somewhere. “You would believe anything I say, wouldn’t you?” Shaking his head, he let out a soft chuckle. “I can see shit, Diego. The ice is so thick and dense that not much is visible. The only thing I noticed was this orange glow which I assume is a fire or something.” Sighing, they had been stuck here for a while now and he was getting sick and tired of it. It would just be easier to go back home and forget this island. “It is weird, I agree. But I also think someone is messing with us.” It might just be the paranoia talking. “Ok, now you just sound like a five year old that’s ready to throw a tantrum because he’s stuck here and can’t go home. But hey, if you want to die of hypothermia, that’s your decision.” Five wasn’t going to conquer those waters again. At least not yet. Not until he found another solution.

“Why would you make it sound like you found a crack in the ice then?” Diego knits his eyebrows together, a little frustrated by all of this, but they need to do something. He would kick the fortress made out of ice if he didn’t know that it would break his foot trying. Instead he just leans away from it with a sigh of his own. “I’m not swimming back in those conditions, no way. I asked Klaus for ideas about building a shelter earlier. He —“ His gaze looks around, not able to spot where their other sibling went. “— is missing now apparently. It looks like our only option is trying to get inside, maybe question some of the others to see if they have an idea of who owns this place. It looks significant for reasons I can’t really explain.” Sometimes Diego hates being the cop, but he should be doing some sort of detective work. “We’ll get sick sitting out here too, either way we lose.”

[krvkcn]

“I think I can see a ship inside, look if you squint it looks like… is that Titanic?” 

“What? Are you sure that you’re seeing it right? I thought THE TITANIC was meant to be in the ocean?” Diego wonders why he didn’t just stay home where their mother could make them a warm meal instead of being out here in the cold. He looks around to make sure Klaus was still in view before staring next to Five. “Where did you look? I want to see too. What do you make of the whole situation? This is weird right?“ He didn’t even have all of his knives, just two that had been strapped inside of his boots just by chance of needing them. He hopes that they don’t actually end up needing to fight something. “I just want to go home. I can’t believe I’m saying that!” He says with a heavy sigh while leaning against the ice to look at his brother. Diego cares about his siblings the most before anyone else.

“I don’t know what you think by lifting that key by yourself will achieve but… I hope you have good back insurance.”

“I’m just trying to do something. None of us are dying here.” Diego stands up straight, turning his attention to his brother. If anything at least the two of them are together for this, and he could keep an eye on Klaus. He was a little protective after everything the two of them have been though, could you blame him? “Well, it won’t budge for me, so we’ll need to figure out another way to get shelter. Any ideas?” He asks while crossing his arms over his chest as he steps back over to the other man, preferring that they all stay close. He doesn’t trust this whole situation to not get weirder.

“i have an idea - we pole vault in. who’s with me?”

“If we see an opening somewhere I could throw an explosive inside to try making it big enough for someone to fit through — I never miss.”’ Diego thinks that it could be worth a shot actually at this point anything would be better than sitting out here with this weather. He doesn’t know how much longer some of them can handle this. His mother won’t be thrilled about the injuries, but that’s a concern for later. “I don’t know if it will work, but if you see another access point I don’t mind doing some parkour to try getting in.” He taps the wall not the structure with his knuckles. “This doesn’t feel like normal ice, does it?”

This is only for the event: FROM THE ICE COMES HOPE, please do not reblog previous memes.

FOR THE FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE:

“So… what do you think’s inside? This is just like D&D! Bet it’s got a bunch of loot.”

“I have an idea - we pole vault in. Who’s with me?”

“I don’t know what you think by lifting that key by yourself will achieve but… I hope you have good back insurance.”

“I bet some freaky bald megalomaniac got into this baby once. You know, just a hunch.”

“Where’s Superman when you need him? Seriously, it’s like the one day he takes a vacation and he’s actually needed.”

“It’s still really cold here and I’d appreciate it if anyone would get that door open so we can get warm.”

“I think I can see a ship inside, look if you squint it looks like… is that Titanic?”

“It’s cold, It’s wet, and I just want to go home!”

“Anyone got a sledgehammer and superhuman strength? Asking for this door and also that stupidly impossibly heavy key.”

“Okay, how about I build us an igloo and we can stay the night here until more people arrive?”

FOR THE FOREST/CREATURES:

“Did I just walk past a Minotaur or was that [you/hellboy]?”

“We’re not safe yet, so stay alert for more.”

“Would you accept some constructive criticism on how to take on that [creature]?”

“I am not afraid to fist fight a vampire, come at me sparkle fangs!”

“So, we should definitely think about tightening security around the forest - do you think the swamp will need it too? Or is that just better at keeping things out than in? Wait - that seems worse.”

“Anyone else think it’s weird that suddenly the woods is having a live-action discount sale from party city? No? Just me? Okay.”

“I’ve never seen something like that [creature] in my life!”

“Do you think any of these creatures are famous? Like Dracula? Hansel and Gretel’s witch? Could I get an autograph off of them?”

“I tried going deep into the woods and I got lost, plus there’s a lot of fog and I swear I saw a house moving around on chicken legs. Giant chicken legs. I can’t make this up.”

“I can’t believe we were dumb enough to follow the voices into the spooky woods. This was classic Scooby-Doo and we completely fell for it.”

FOR THE SHIFTED BUILDINGS/GENERAL:

“Okay I know that wasn’t in the way the last time I tried to get into this cafe.”

“You give me a ‘dead family’ kind of vibe.”

“I am not crazy!! I am telling you that the buildings and everything have shifted to the left! Don’t look at me like that!”

“I just want to understand here. And I have a really simple question to ask; what the hell is happening?”

“Say, does something seem off to you? Or is it just me?”

“I don’t know what the hell was going on, but I was trying to help. Probably made it worse.”

“Can we have just one relaxing day? Just one? No? Fine. I guess I’ll perish.”

“That’s like the fifth accident today - what the hell is going on?”

“I was [flying/swinging] and I smacked right into the police department - saw Detective Bullock laughing at me. Wasn’t great, kinda hated it. I swear I’ve narrowly avoided the department countless times before, so what gives?”

“Ice fortresses, monsters from the woods, the city going nuts - what’s next? Giant robots? No, actually please no giant robots. I hope I didn’t curse us.”

“Your mom is a fuckin’ robot!?” Laura exclaimed loudly with a genuinely surprised expression, drawing several glances from nearby partygoers. She wasn’t entirely sure when gods and mythical beings had become okay yet robot moms thay developed their own lives were capable of shocking her, but it really highlighted how much of a fuck-show her unlife was. “That is… nuts. Did she have go-go-gadget arms to change all your diapers at once? What sort of hobbies does an android pick up?” The bewilderment and hint of a sneer never leave her face, but for once she was more curious than mocking. “It’s-” She waved her hand in front of her face. It was true she didn’t exactly enjoy hearing other people’s problems. “My dad’s an asshole too.” Her focus wandered over the rich people as she nodded, but as soon as it landed again on the appetizers, she frowned. “Yeah, part of being dead. I’d try but I don’t want anything other shit in there feeding the maggots. Fucking shit’s what it’s like.”

This is the reaction Diego expected, but it was also refreshing in a way. He never thought it to be unusual probably from growing up that way. “Yeah, but she didn’t have go-go-gadget arms. Our father had no interest in parenting us, didn’t even give us names — he called me number two. It wasn’t until he made our mom that we got names from her.” It makes him angry thinking about the mistreatment, but doesn’t show it. He wants to make friends here and they wouldn’t help really. Diego doesn’t want to ramble on and on about his own problems though, but at least it seems they can relate. “Something we have in common then, fuck our dads.” Diego admits firmly. “I’m sorry to hear that it must really suck. So there really is life after death. How has it been other than the food situation?”

Vanya has always been the black sheep of the family, but Diego never treated her as such and he always defended her, which is why he had always been her favorite. “Doesn’t really sound like her, but I’m here for it.”

“I know it’s something new for her,  she has been branching out. It’s nice to see her doing something that interests her AND n-not just what dad t-told her to do.” Diego smiles as he looks at his sister. He could never forgive their self her for how awful he treated their mother. He ignores his stuttering words, sometimes still coming out. “I can show you the way back home if you want? The streets are all weird now, but the mansion is here.”

“I can’t keep up with all the different traditions on these planets.”  Magus looked up from the mistletoe back to Diego. “I mean, we have done much worse than that… so I can spare you a kiss this time.” He teased the other male, moving in closer to him and looking at him with a soft smile. Why was he feeling this way? He was supposed to be evil and a killer and the leader of the Church of Truth. But here he was giddy over a gifted human. He rested his hands on Diego’s shoulders. 

“There’s too many if you ask me, but I don’t celebrate all of them.” Diego respects whatever someone believes in, not sure where his own are with everything he has lived through. “I know we have, and not I’m thinking about it. THINKING ABOUT YOU.” He says standing closer, teasing right back as his hands around the other man’s waist. Magus wasn’t dangerous, but something about that turned him on. “We should anyway.” He leans in to press their lips together, not even caring who was staring.

[krvkcn]

xwickedwarriorsx‌:

He looked at the other and felt… turned on?  Magus was definitely doomed for his feelings towards this male. “What does the Kraken stand for?” He could’ve used his powers, but he liked the natural feeling of things that he was getting from the male. “Diego. I like that.” He watched the male closely as he closed the space between them. “Maybe I am. Guess we will just have to see.” Was he trying to flirt back. ‘Okay, flirt now, kill Adam later’ he thought to himself and moved even closer to Diego, leaving no room in between the both of them.

“It doesn’t really stand for anything. I’m a vigilante so that’s what I call myself.” Diego never really tried to keep it a secret. “I have the ability to manipulate thrown objects. So you could say that I’m excellent with a knife, anything with a sharp edge is my favorite.” Why was he talking so much? Diego doesn’t really do this, but something about Magus just makes him want to drift closer. His hand reaches out, touching the other’s chest with that same smirk on his face. “We will see about that.” His fingers gently tug on the fabric for a moment before pulling his arm back, but still standing SO CLOSE.
