[color=GREENYELLOW]"How the feck, did those damn Atlanteas survive in the firs' place? Or how did the Ol' Stars and Stripes reach this far down to take them out?"[/color] she added, curious on how the fate of Atlantis had ended in destruction. [COLOR=DARKORANGE][B]"You have heard of a [i]fuckin'[/i] submarine haven't you?"[/B][/COLOR] Rose stated, annoyance showing in her voice due to her dealings with the Bat. She opened her mouth to say more but opted not to as Captain Marvel stepped forward. He had been asked to lead a mission with people whom he had never worked with in a place which he had only surmised was legend. Although he had also surmised all things magic were legend before he himself became the vessel of seven mystical figures. What's more, he was--as Rose blurted before Batman rudely cut her off--lacking requisite field experience which would equip him to lead in the traditional sense; so, he decided on a more natural approach. Marvel, still stood next to Rose,didn't want to draw much attention to himself and so he spoke up from where he stood, [color=yellow]"I lack the mind of some of you more..." he gave a side glance to Wilson from beneath the hood, "Creative individuals, so all I will say is: if something seems like it will be a problem, deal with it before it becomes one. Do not leave a teammate behind, use your strengths, supplement your partner's weakness, and most of all--don't leave my sight."[/color] He fell silent, the floor now belonged to anyone who wished to speak. [COLOR=DARKORANGE][B]"I think that [i]damn[/i] well says it all."[/B][/COLOR] Rose remarked as Captain Marvel finished his spiel. [COLOR=DARKORANGE][B]"Best to gear up and get moving into the city."[/B][/COLOR] She continued grabbing her weapons off the bench beside her, slinging one sword over her should while the other one hung off the back of his waist. On either thigh, a pistol was holstered as Rose picked up her aquatic helmet, airbrushed to resemble her usual bandanna. Stepping out of the jumpship, Rose looked around the arcitecture of Atlantis. It reminded her of her time in Greece, albeit with a hint of cyber-punk. The technology laden into each piece of arcitecture was at the very least on par with the modern world. Apparently Atlantean socery gave them a distinct advantage when it came to conjuring up the means to leave. Overhead the shield shimmered as the power fluctuated. Rose paused, hooks of fear sinking into her heart that they'd be crushed before the mission ever truly began, but yet the shield held. Looking into the labyrinth before her, Rose shook her head as passage ways led everywhich direction. Tapping the forearm of her armor, she called up a heads-up-display as the H.U.D. appeared in her helmet, showing her the map of the area obtained by the League. [COLOR=DARKORANGE][B]"Map suggests that [i]fuckin'[/i] passage."[/B][/COLOR] She stated with a point of her hand as Rose turned towards the other three. "Is the most direct route to the throne. [COLOR=DARKORANGE][B]What's your call, Captain?"[/B][/COLOR] She asked the team's appointed leader. [color=GREENYELLOW]'Hmm....so this is what sea-water tastes and feels like,'[/color] thought Lizard, easily able to be in the water without a helmet. As she could breathe underwater in essence - although, it didn't seem all that different to her usual. Albeit it came with the cost of having her ears shut, otherwise - Lizard couldn't get any information on what to do or go to. So she couldn't hear the ocean' sounds either sadly. [color=yellow]"If that is the most direct route, then let us take it."[/color] Marvel retorted, his demenor still unphased and rather unexcited. He could sense the pull of that old Atlantean magic swirling all around. It felt like an ancient salt mine--compact, shrouded, and shoveled beneath the care of a world which had long forgotten about it. Lizard soon waved her arms infront of Captain Marvel and Rose - indicating that they should continue on their journey. Lizard was able to operate underwater without a helmet - but guess, that came at the price - that she couldn't speak to them. Since all that would be heard by her was simply bubbling and a muffled voice. Marvel paced near the front of the group in case there did encounter something nefarious.
