[INDENT][INDENT]The Captain didn't seemed inclined to aggressively lead and so Rose stepped forward, making her past the newest Marvel as she ventured forth into the city. The haunting ruins seemed likely to crumble at any second and Rose could only pray to whichever deity was listening that the shield didn't give out and crush her beneath the ocean. Enhanced physical condition or not, she was not built for life under the sea anymore than Superman was built for life in a Kryptonite box. Looking over her shoulder, Rose noticed the others were keeping up but none the less, taking their time moving along after her. No doubt that the Captain wanted to ensure they took every precaution they could. Personally, Rose couldn't care less. Batman had put her in a foul mood, all she wanted was something to take her anger out on. 

Coming to a fork in the road, Rose made a split second decision and took the path to the right. Stepping inside the tunnel like pathway, the walls suddenly shook as tectonic plate movement rocked the city. Dust began to cloud the water as Rose looked up in time to see a chunk of stone give way. Activating her wetsuit's propulsion system, she jetted out of the way as the mouth of the tunnel collapsed, separating Rose from the rest of the group.

[color=darkorange][b]"Fuck."[/b][/color] Rose cursed as she kicked the rubble to no avail. Tapping her commset, all Rose heard was static before she tried to call out to the others.

[color=darkorange][b]"Lizard."[/b][/color] She called over the radio. [color=darkorange][b]"Captain Marvel, fuckin' Clutch even?"[/b][/color] Rose asked as the deadline only returned static to her headset.

[color=darkorange][b]"Guess, I'm on my [i]fuckin'[/i] own then."[/b][/color] Rose muttered as she turned around, calling up the map again. The holographic display indicated she was still on a direct path to the throne room, but the passage she was trapped in, dipped into the bowels of the city whereas the passage the others would be forced to take actually was a more direct path which would take them over most of the city between here and the throne room.

[color=darkorange][b]"So much for [i]damn[/i] gut impulses."[/b][/color] Rose cursed as she turned on her light and propelled herself down the dark tunnel.[/INDENT][/INDENT]
