WALLY
⚡ ・゚:╰ ° HE IS well-aware that the judicious use of physical force would not solve their problems; for he bore witness to the fruitless efforts of Wonder Woman &&. Superman COMBINED attempt to smash through the barrier, the only response from the barricade being a slight shudder &&. nothing else. If their two POWERHOUSES couldn’t break through, what hope did Wally have?
❝ So, like you had traitors, right? ❞
RUBBING HIS chin in thought, ignoring how one by one, his team left to deliberate further, leaving Wally to remain with the grieving Queen. It seemed that magic would be their only solution, but even THAT did not seem to be a possibility. Compatibility and all that. A soft sigh, the smile returned with a rather DETERMINED one.
❝ We’ll find a solution. Hm, the only Atlantean that I could think of that I worked with before is Garth. Uh, Aqualad. Does HE use magic? ❞
‘‘ i don’t like to call them ‘ traitors. ‘ the people of atlantis have lived a certain way for a long time, & carried certain beliefs. some of those beliefs were rightly gained.... others were not. arthur challenged those beliefs, & many were not willing to comply to a new era of PEACE with the surface. the surface, in the past, have given atlanteans every reason to DISTRUST them. arthur knew he was climbing an UPHILL battle, but neither of us anticipated the kingdom being willing to overthrow someone of ROYAL BLOOD. we thought that was a tradition they would continue to observe but... their fear OVERPOWERED them. ’’ while mera was far from happy with the course of events, she found it difficult to NOT sympathize with her people. despite everything, atlantis was her home and she still saw herself as their queen. her ultimate goal was to PROTECT them. & right now, she wasn’t doing a very good job.
‘‘ yes, garth was the first one i considered. he has had some training in atlantean magic... i’m unsure if it would be sufficient, i can’t imagine this being an EASY curse to break. but at the same time... i’m hesitant to pull him back here. ’’ she frowned, considering her options. ‘‘ while i would like for this to be EASY, it won’t be. breaking through the crown of thrones is just ONE problem. the real challenge will be me reclaiming the throne... i’m not of atlantean blood, i can’t imagine they’ll be keen to accept me but... someone NEEDS to carry on what arthur intended. ’’
