She called out for Candy's help as she was carrying them to the nearest table. There wasn't time for the security guard to ask questions. Instead, she complied and ran to the security room since it housed a first aid kit. Clint, on the other hand, was still cautious about the mutant and approached Diana with bow at the ready. [color=5f68ab]"Are you sure that caring for... them is a good idea? For all that we know, we could be in danger."[/color] [color=FCDA63]"What was I supposed to do? Leave them to die?"[/color] Diana snapped. [color=FCDA63]"Besides, I am still strong enough to protect you and everyone else in this building."[/color] Clint wasn't in the mood to argue about it, and she still had her strength. Then, Candy returned with the first aid kit and bottled water in hand, placing them on the table. Then, she looked at the broken door and turned towards Clint, clearly irritated. [color=9370DB]"What happened?"[/color] [color=5f68ab]"The kid probably wanted an autograph."[/color] Clint responded sarcastically. Candy grunted under her breath in disgust. And Diana was still focused on the individual, hoping that they will wake up. Based on observation, however, they looked fine except for a few faded bruises and cuts. She then thought of a plan. Getting them back to their home was an obvious one. And if they were abandoned by their loved ones, there was always Professor Xavier's school in New York. For now, though, they needed care. [color=FCDA63]"It doesn't matter why they showed up. I'll make a call to my good friend. He will know what to do-"[/color] [color=fdc584]"Please don't turn me in!"[/color] the stranger cried out loud, which caught everyone off guard. Clint quickly aimed his bow at the kid again, willing to let go if given no choice. While Candy placed her hand of the holster, ready to draw to protect her friend. However, Diana turned towards them and held her hand out to calm them. She was capable of taking on the kid with ease, but it wasn't necessary. Instead, she looked at the guest and began talking calmly. [color=FCDA63]"I only want to keep you safe. What's your name?"[/color] [color=fdc584]"I... I can't remember..."[/color] the stranger kept on thinking as hard as they could until. [color=fdc584]"I think it's Dominic."[/color] [color=FCDA63]"Are you hurt? Can you stand up, Dominic?"[/color] Diana asked sincerely, offering to help them up. Dominic managed to get up from the table with help but collapsed when they tried to walk on their own. Candy ran towards them and, with support from Diana, carefully walked them over to the nearest chair. Meanwhile, Clint lowered his bow again and noticed something on the ground: bright pink flower petals. It wasn't the kind that you would typically see. Something was mystifying about them. Soft to the touch, but it remained intact. Diana turned towards Clint and noticed the petals. Her eyes widen with surprise, and it left her speechless. She walked towards him and slowly picked one of them off of his hand. [color=FCDA63]"Where did you get them?"[/color] [color=5f68ab]"Found them near the table."[/color] Diana made her way to Dominic and showed them the petals. [color=FCDA63]"Do you remember where you were?"[/color] Dominic struggled to answer the question as if they couldn't remember. Yet, they kept trying to come up with some answers. Instead, they bowed their head in shame. [color=fdc584]"... I can't remember. Sorry."[/color] [color=FCDA63]"Just get some rest. Maybe you will remember later."[/color] Diana reassured them and turned to Clint, asking him to come with her. Candy stepped in to help out the kid while both of them went out of the room. And without the kid watching, Diana picked up the petals and started playing around with them in her hand. It had been so long, but she never forgot its softness and texture. Then, it clicked. There was only one place in the entire universe where the flower could have existed. [color=FCDA63]"These petals are from Themyscira."[/color] [color=5f68ab]"Are you sure, Diana?"[/color] queried Clint. [color=5f68ab]"If you're positive, then that means-"[/color] [color=FCDA63]"Nothing."[/color] Diana interjected. [color=FCDA63]"Zeus is many things, but he won't risk his heaven for war against mankind... I need to investigate this at once."[/color] Diana started to head for her office to begin planning for the trip. However, Clint grabbed her arm with a look of regret. [color=5f68ab]"I'm sorry, but you can't do this without approval for SHIELD. They have to be informed and decide the next step."[/color] [color=FCDA63]"But Clint-"[/color] [color=5f68ab]"No. When your Gods were discovered to be living among us, you assured SHIELD that they won't be a problem."[/color] Clint affirmed. [color=5f68ab]"But with that kid's arrival and those flower petals, I am required to inform my superiors, or I risk my livelihood."[/color] [color=FCDA63]"I..."[/color] Diana looked away for Clint and then sighed. [color=FCDA63]"Alright, go ahead and tell them. Just remember that it's only a theory, not fact."[/color] Clint nodded his head and thanked her for understanding his position. He assured Diana that he will come back in a day or two. And that SHIELD will contact her in half of a day. Then, he left to report back. Diana tried to process what was going to happen, but Dominguez showed up, clearly upset for some... That was when she remembered her schedule. With Dominic's unexpected arrival and the petals, she completely forgot about it and most likely missed the meeting with the Middle East team. Thus, Dominguez wanted answers. [color=CD5C5C]"Where were you?!"[/color] questioned Dominguez as her arms folded in annoyance. Diana sighed again and turned to her secretary. [color=FCDA63]"It's been a long day. Come, and I will explain everything to you."[/color][/color][/indent][/indent][/indent] [hr]
