Possession
Dido paced like an angry tiger in the metal dungeon she had been imprisoned in. This was not to be borne! She was the governor and Queen of Carthage, not some common criminal to be caged and put on display.
You have been caged because you have proven yourself a danger to others.
Dido growled. She had chosen to inhabit the body of the Amazon princess in the hope of finding an ally, someone who would willingly aid her in her quest. Instead she had found a willful, defiant child. Hippolyta's daughter had little respect for her betters.
"I am not a danger to you and yours," she snapped, "only to Aeneas!"
As long as the two of you inhabit Batman and myself, my friends will consider you both a menace and act accordingly.
"Give me Aeneas and I will trouble you no more!"
You should never have invaded our bodies in the first place. Your time is long gone to dust, Dido. The Underworld awaits you and Aeneas. You should not have remained here, but gone on as is natural.
Dido shook her head. "I am surprised at you, Princess of the Amazons. Your people have no liking for men, and know the crimes they are capable of. I thought surely you would understand my actions."
You behave as a woman scorned by her lover. My people's issues with men were far more serious. Your lover left you at the command of the gods to fulfill the purpose appointed to him. My people were raped and tortured by Heracles and his army. Forgive me if I am less than sympathetic to your complaints.
Dido's hands began to shake. If only the Amazon stood before her and she was not within her body! She would personally flog the girl for such impudence! She clenched her teeth.
"What of you?" she demanded. "You say that your people's objections to men are more important than mine. What do your mother and sisters say to your fascination with the powerless mortal that Aeneas has chosen as his vessel?"
Diana did not respond, and Dido grasped upon her silence at once. "Ah, not so haughty now, are you, Princess? You know your people would take it as a betrayal of their suffering!" She smirked. "Do not tell me your love is any purer than mine was. Love does nothing but destroy. It destroyed my kingdom, destroyed me, and be certain, child, it will do the same to you."
…Be gone, vile witch. Get out of my body!
Dido shook her head, the fiery rage slowly receding. "Not yet," she murmured, "not until I have had the reckoning I deserve."
