[u]Leonard Winfield[/u] Staring at the little aparatus that Aquaman had handed him, Leonard mulled over its usefulness. He supposed it would be a useful backup if nothing else, but his natural telepathy would be far more intuitive and easier for him to use. In any case this seemed like a very strange assignment, at least to his human sensibilities. Or rather, surface-dweller sensibilities. He frankly wasn't sure if he could be considered human anymore. In any case, it still stung him to realize how little he understood about Atlantean culture despite spending his entire academic life studying it. [i][color=00a99d]++Correct me if I'm wrong,++[/color][/i] Leonard said via telepathic broadcast; his vocal chords weren't adapted to underwater communication. [i][color=00a99d]++But the 'regular' Justice League doesn't undertake missions that are this political normally, right? Superman doesn't delegate the entire League as a motorcade for the President of the United States. I understand the Queen is your wife, Arthur, but is the Atlantean League her direct political affiliate? Are there not communities down here that we would be alienating by devoting this level of protection to her?++[/color][/i] He made an ambivalent gesture, trying to demonstrate that he was only trying to understand the situation. [i][color=00a99d]++I only have my experience on the surface to go off of, but if the Justice League acted as a protection detail to the leader of a single sovereign nation, it would be politically inflammatory. And we're dealing with three times as much territory. Are we outright endorsing one of the Seven Kingdoms over the six others?++[/color][/i]
