Hello, again!
First and foremost, don't expect as many updates as my other stories. Got enough of them as is, so this one is more 'If I got an idea for an update, I'll try and put it up.' If you want sex, futas, or seeming lack of public decency, while having semi-constant updates, check out 'Were'mon.' If I manage to get a few chapters done pretty quickly, then you got more to read, but if I don't then tough luck.
Doesn't mean I won't take ideas to help speed things along.
Not much in the ways of fighting, but in the case of getting sense into a few people and additional information out of others, this chapter will be chock full of them. Hippolyta, among other things, has usually shown up as a girl with a grudge, so Morgana will need to knock some sense into her before it's too late for her people.
Don't own Harry Potter or anything from DC Comics/Studios.
Just how stupid can a person get?
"-Are you even listening to me?!" Hippolyta demanded upon noticing Morgana, Donna, and their companions weren't listening to her rant.
Not too long after getting the Amazon victims at least semi-stable, the Amazonian Queen took Morgana and her main entourage off to the side and demanded some answers. Of course, Morgana remembered the last time she went off on a rant, so kept them quiet and partly distracted until Hippolyta actually stopped.
And it looks like that time is now. Kind of surprised it took less time this time around. Mused Morgana, before saying "You done ranting like a little brat, or are you willing to try and talk little an adult, because we got Amazons that need curing, an alien invasion underway, and outside of me and mine, no real solid defense yet. So either find a way to help, or keep your people out of the way. Ok?"
"She's right mother." Donna piped in, "We may not allow much of anything at all on the island, but that doesn't mean we can be allowed to stay completely isolated. They've already left us far behind."
Hippolyta turned her rage at her daughter. "That doesn't give you any right to betray our laws, daughter!"
"Neither does it give you the right to imprison us when our way of life is just going to end up destroying us!"
That got on Hippolyta's last nerve, but before she could smack Donna, Morgana got in the way with her staff. She sighed in disappointment at Hippolyta's attitude.
"Even after all this time, you still have trouble believing no one is the same as Hercules and the others that hurt you and the Amazons so long ago. Get over it already. The rest of the world has already moved on. Either get with the program, or Themyscira will be nothing more than a prison for you and your people as you slowly die out because you wouldn't accept help from others."
With her ending words, Morgana pushed the stunned Hippolyta away, staff still by her side just in case she still needed it. She idly noted Donna's appreciative expression, as well as the hurt from the fact that her own mother would dare slap like that. And she was not the only one, seeing as Hippolyta finally started realizing just what she was about to do.
Just then, Charlie Weasley and Bakura came to report on a few new things.
Charlie: "My Lady. Got in contact with Harley. She's bringing it to Bruce and Diana's attention what happened here. At the very least, they'll be able to help. Norberta and Fleur have actually found a few decent spots to keep this place a paradise, yet have a more modern protection detail among its inhabitants. Those experimental weapons should be good here, seeing as we had started with bows and swords. The rest of us are doing what we can to prepare for the invasion."
Bakura's report, on the other hand, had some more important news, to both the invasion and Morgana personally.
"Victims are transferred, and they've already found an idea as to a cure actually."
"Already?"
"Yes. However, to be sure, they're going to test it before presenting it, so it's still up in the air. However, Johnny's finally up. He's being debriefed as we speak, both about his last assignment and the current situation."
"That's good news, at least."
"Indeed. However, the last thing is not so pleasant." Bakura then pulled out a piece of fabric that looked plain, but got Morgana to gasp. "This bears a copy of the energy signature of the one who helped the invaders, including with the death of Superman."
Morgana was silent as she stiffly walked outside a little while after that, but they quickly learned just what her reaction truly was by the storm gradually starting outside. While there wasn't any rain, but the wind and thunder were far more intense than normal.
Gwendolyn...you...you... "YOU FUCKING BITCH! I DON'T CARE IF IT'S BY BLADE OR BY PYRE, YOU'RE DAYS ARE NUMBERED! YOU HEAR ME?! SOONER OR LATER, I'LL BE PERSONALLY SENDING YOU TO FUEL HELL'S FIRES FOR ETERNITY!"
Her anger was beyond palpable. The target of said anger was definitely someone they didn't really want to mess with, if he/she could get Morgana that mad. It was only thanks to their unique relationship that Lily and Hermione were able to get close enough to calm her down. Or, to be more precise, calm her down enough so that the weather was calm, seeing as she continued ranting afterwards for at least ten minutes.
Lily had gotten annoyed and kissed her, getting Morgana back into reality.
But it was already done, and now Morgana had to fully explain about her past with Gwendolyn, aka 'Morgana le Fay' of the Arthurian legend.
Bakura cleared his throat after a moment of silence. "Well...this certainly complicates matters a lot."
"You think?" Morgana asked, still annoyed from earlier, "Not only do we have Steppenwolf invading, but he had help from my worst enemy!"
"But unless something else from her actually shows up, then it'll just be Steppenwolf for the time being." Lily added, keeping Morgana in perspective for the present. "We just need to make sure we have a way to deal with her once the time comes to face her for good."
During that little byplay, Hippolyta was contemplating everything, from Steppenwolf to Morgana to Gwendolyn. Despite her own personal beliefs, Morgana and Donna were right in this case. Unfortunately, the Amazons weren't exactly allowed out of Themyscira just yet, so she's not sure if Morgana's doorway would be of any help.
Then again, she's never been the most conventional of people around. Still, at least she got a chance at a better life, unlike a good number of my people. Thought the Amazonian Queen.
Kneeling, she got Morgana's attention before she started. "I'll see what I can do, but I'm afraid for the time being we'll not really be able to help. We might be able to change that, but not right now, so I'll allow Donna to go with you to help. Just, please, keep her safe."
"That part is a no-brainer, Hippy. But as for not being able to help, I did set up a door between the club and here, so you'd be able to transverse without the law set down when you first arrived here getting in the way. Always keep an eye on technicalities." Morgana said, knowing about the issue, "But I guess we can wait on that for the time being."
Donna in particular smiled, glad her mother agreed and that Morgana had a way to get off the island without being banished like her sister. She'd probably have to stay close to Morgana for the most part while out in Man's World.
And the first thing would be doing our job as protectors of justice and peace. Just like so long ago.
Until next time. Please let me know what you think.
