Drawing a line in the sand. (Zarda)

[Deleted]

The 27 year old powerhouse of a princess had most certainly had enough. She was fed up with what she'd heard about Zarda having her way with Themyscira, the Amazons and most importantly her mother, the rightful queen of the island. Donna was positive her mother would never let herself become involved with someone who had just taken over her crown, title and island from her. As far as Donna was concerned she was still an Amazon princess until proven otherwise, whether in battle or by amazonian decree.

Her blood was boiling, It would all end here. Noone knew Donna was heading back to the island for this confrontation. Not the Avengers and not her brother in law or sister.. Diana was too cinsumed with her marriage to do what needed to be done. Donna had no reservations about putting things back the way they were or dying in the attempt.

Her tiara was in place, she was in her black, starry costume with sword in one hand, shield in the other and lasso of peruasion at her hip. When she landed she had the shield slung over her back and her sword in it's sheath on her fre hip but this amazon was still braced for anything as she landed only to immediately be stared down by armed amazon guards who were now nothing but loyal to the NEW queen it seemed.

"Tell the phony queen I seek an audience with her." Troia issued the order. Of course the faux queen had to know she would show up eventually. Donna knew it may be an ambush waiting to happen but she was never anything if willing to die for the causes she believed in. This island wasn't her personal playground.

[Power Princess]

Zarda was in the garden with Queen Hippolyta enjoying spending time with her. Surprisingly enough Zarda loved spending time with her just something about her she just liked which was very rare. It could have been because both of them were Greek well somewhat she had lived in Greece for a very long time. So they had that in common. She really couldn’t put her finger on it as to why she liked the older woman so much.

They were about to head off to some place else when someone came up to her and told her princess Donna was here to see her. Great so much for having some down time now she had to deal with a temperamental daughter. Sighing she excused herself from Hippolyta and followed the woman down to where Donna was waiting. “Phony queen really? I never claimed to be queen of anything.” she hadn’t but she knew people have called her that at one point or another and just left it be not bothering to fix it.

Donna's left hand was on the hilt of her sword but hadn't yet drawn it. She merely stood at the ready but admittedly the Amazon princess was shocked when Zarda dared to approach her alone. No back-up, no security. Surely the woman would be prepared to have Donna surrounded with armed warriors prepared to lay waste to her or slice her to ribbons before apprehending what was left. An angry glare was in her ice cold blue eyes that narrowed, waiting for Zarda to make some sort of move at any moment.

"Deceiver!" Troia barked. "I have heard everything about you and how you have apparently brainwashed my mother into turning rule of this island over to you. She would never do such a thing of her own free will. This island is not your playground and that throne is not your footstool. You will remove yourself from the shores of Paradise Island or I will remove you through bloodshed if necessary, despite the shamed it may draw me from Athena, I will put things back the way they should be by any means necessary, Power Princess."

[Power Princess]

Brainwash? She raised a brow at that then chuckled “Leave it to a child to believe the worlds of fools and not come and see how things really are with her own eyes.” she wasn’t at all worried about what Donna might try and do with that little sword of hers. Zarda might not look it but she knew how to handle all kinds of cold forged weapons. “So, what you come here all alone and expect me to just up and leave because you said so? You really didn’t think this all out very well did you?” as soon as those words left her mouth queen Hippolyta had shown up to most likely see her daughter and maybe keep them from fighting.

“She believes I brainwashed you into handing over the island.” she said as she walked over and offered her a hand. “Understandable she has her reasons to believe this.” Zarda nodded “You would think Diana would have told her about what was going on. But I guess she’s to busy with Bruce and the people that live with them to bother with her little sister.” Hippolyta gave Zarda a look before she walked over to give Donna a hug leaving Zarda just to watch. “You know princess the rumors you’ve heard about me are a lie. Lies spread by what’s left of the governments lapdogs. They want everyone to believe I’m a monster, true I have done things that aren’t very nice but it isn’t nearly as bad as what they’ve said.”

"I do not need the aid of an army to deal with you Zarda." Troia quipped but found her hand slowly leaving the handle of her side and dropping to her side, thanks largely to the sudden arrival of her mother who was calm and taking it all in stride and the most shocking thing of all was the fact Donna sensed no tampering with her mother's mind. It was all too weird but it forced Donna to take a step back and take a second look at the new ruler of Themyscira. a ruler who was surprising quite lovely. It was easier now to see what her mother saw in the woman but no. Donna quickly shook that thought from her head though her eyes, the mirror to her soul, would betray her deepest thoughts in this moment.

"It has been days. No, weeks since I have heard from Diana. I am, an Avenger however. I have been for awhile now as I am sure you have heard. I have heard plenty of stories about what a power mad psychopath you are rumored to be, but I... It was all indeed confusing and starting to cloud her judgment. Or was her judgment clearing for the first time in a long time?

I am starting to be uncertain of what to believe anymore considering the way man's world has gone to hell in a handbasket and yet it still seems so peaceful here in spite of the change in leadership." She whispered calmly after returning the hug to her mother then turning around to look toward the oceans.

"I shouldn't have come here. Gods, I don't know what to think about all of this."

[Power Princess]

“So I leave the Avengers and they replace me with you? I would say I’m hurt but not really surprising Stark didn’t like me much. Probably mad that I’ve stole a number of his girlfriends.” Okay it was only a few of them and she wasn’t even trying to do it either. They were the one’s that came after her when they saw her. Not her fault Stark didn’t have better taste in women or realize some of them were bi. “You do know her and Brucy boy got married right?” She only knew about it because Hippolyta had been invited to go to it. She gave Diana away and all that too. Zarda didn’t go for two reasons one she wasn’t really one for weddings and two Bruce had issues with her cause she wasn’t sane enough for him which was funny coming from a guy who ran around in tights as a bat.

“Psychopath is a bit harsh I mean I’m nothing like the Joker. I admit I’m not the most sanest person out there but who in our line of work is? We risk our lives to save everyone else knowing that any second we could die and how does the government repay us? They create those abominations and set them lose on us thinking they could control them. I’m the only one with the balls to stand up to the government and what do they do? Spread half truths and whole lies about me and the things I’ve done.” She placed her hands on her hips as she watched a couple of love birds “I did break open those prisons but only because we were losing. Why leave them there to die when they could be free and helping us because they to wanted to live. Of course it didn’t work or we wouldn’t be hiding like scared animals.”

[Deleted]

Donna shot an eyebrow up at the sound of Zarda's comment about Tony, his girlfriends, and the fact that she bragged about stealing some of them away. She was definitely not part of Stark's collection. She wondered if that was why Zarda thougt she was here though. Donna always considered herself to be straight as an arrow. Why then were her eyes having trouble now diverting themselves from the woman? No, she couldn't let this happen. Donna refused. She couldn't...

"Yes." Donna answered, arms folded, standing with her back to Zarda now as she stared out across the ocean. Her voice sounded somewhat sullen as she remembered the wedding and how she was merely a bridesmaid when she should have been Maid of Honor. That hurt immensely though she would never openly admit it.

"I am aware of it. I was there." Came Donna's answer concerning Diana & Bruce's wedding. She was more concerned about Zarda's explanation regarding her actions. Donna still had no intention of staying around. If turning this island over to Zarda was what her mother wanted then there was nothing she could do but she didn't have to like it.

Zarda made valid points however. Points Donna knew to be true but that she hated to admit. The American government, what were they thinking when they sanctioned the use of the clones in the first place? The princess was out of answers no, was growing more and more confused and thought about how easy it would be right now to just take off and go back to New York, Her feet refused to leave the island's sands however and so she kept standing. Waiting for something, but for what? She had no idea.

[Power Princess]

“I’m here to create a new world one built on top of the old one which your mother and sisters wont have to hide and be slaves to the gods. I offer change. One that’ll better serve the people and not become a monster of Avarice where only the greedy get what they want and let everyone else suffer.” Zarda turned to look at Donna “If all things go right there wont be starving and poor people in the world.” she moved closer to Donna into her personal space. “I want you to stand at my side you could do so much to help make the new world a better place.” her voice lower then what it had been moments ago.

While they talked Hippolyta had to leave before she got a change to talk to her daughter she was still queen and still had duties to attend to. But she was sure Zarda and Donna could work things out between them. Like she had been able to work things out with Diana years ago.

Zarda noticed they were alone now “I may be leaving here Donna but I don’t rule I’ve worked things out with your mother. She’s still queen of her people and I’m…many things just depends on the day.” she smirked she did over see the people she had brought here and helped out with doing things for her people as well as Hippolyta she had to pull her weight around here and all that.

[Deleted]

Zarda's words made sense. Everything made sense and she hated it. She was wanting nothing more than to slice Zarda's head off her shoulders out of anger and watch as her last drop of blood stained the shores of Themyscira. She couldn't. Not now. Yet if everything Zarda spoke made sense why did the princess still feel so torn?

Her eyes turned in Hippolyta's direction when the queen mother disappeared, running off back to her duties instead of remaining to discuss things. They had things they needed to clear up and yet she turned and left. A veil of sadness replaced the anger in Donna's eyes at that gesture but she steeled herself again, refusing to let emotion cloud her judgment.

"I have my duties in patriarch's world. My responsibilities to the Avengers. What about Diana? I have a life there. If what you say is true and everything here is functioning like the well oiled machine you claim it is then what would you possibly have use of me for?" She asked as her voice now lowered as well, her eyes turning once again to the ocean's waves. "What do you want from me, Zarda?"

[Power Princess]

Zarda could tell Donna wasn’t really fighting her anymore she pretty much gave up on what she had came here to do. To kill her or at lest try to which wouldn’t have happened she didn’t really know anything about Zarda other then what she’s heard form other people which most of it was lies. This turned out to be much better then she had thought now she just had to finish things and reel in Donna to her side one more solider to her army one less to Stark’s at this rate Tony wasn’t really going to have to many people fighting for him and his dreams that are doom to fail.

“I want you to join me your talents wouldn’t be wasted like they would with if you stayed with the Avengers hiding and waiting for someone to do something instead of doing it yourself.” she moved behind Donna bringing her hands up to place on the younger woman’s hips. She didn’t care that Donna didn’t like women silly things like that never stopped her in the past and it wasn’t going to stop her now. “Captain America is gone Iron Man is lying to try and keep the other members of the team from leaving. The Avengers are doomed to fall.”

[Deleted]

With everything she knew about how badly the American government had dropped the ball and how Zarda's intentions only had been to put things right. With someone running the government like herself, Hippolyta and the Amazons, things would be so much more sensible. And of course if Zarda wanted Donna in her ranks then Donna would expect to play a key role in the runniong of the country under it's future new regime.

What Donna did not see coming, and was not expecting as she gazed toward the ocean. A look of defiance was in her eyes and she was close to telling Zarda to back off in spite of the fact her hips buckled and betrayed her when Zarda touched them. Her body trembled against her verbal protests and though she squirmed beneath Zarda's grasp, as obvious as it was what Zarda was up to. Donna couldn't bring herself to break the grasp of Power Princess.

"What...do you think...y-y-you're doing? You and my mother are...this isn't right. Let go..."

[Power Princess]

Donna was suppose to be straight? Her body was betraying that fact in record time. Zarda found it amusing and all it took was one little touch to change what she thought of younger woman. She was lying to herself such a shame one would have to do that to fit in. “I’m doing whatever I want and you don’t seem to want to stop me.” she spoke in Donna’s ear. She did really like Hippolyta and spending time with her and such. But that didn’t stop her from doing things with other people. It was just something she couldn’t help doing she had commitment issues.

Zarda moved closer yet to the young princess before speaking again “If you want me to stop then stop me.” from watching the way Donna was reacting to her touch she doubted the young woman was going to do anything about it. She leaned in and kissed Donna on the neck just to see what she’ll do if anything at all to stop her. “Join me and we can do this as much as you want.” she smirked to herself this just kept getting easier and easier to get more members.

[Deleted]

Donna was straight. She'd always considered herself straight. She'd been through a marriage and gave birth. She'd never dreamed of crossing the fence, even while living among an island of sisters, some of whom enjoyed being around each other more than men. Donna Troy however? She'd never done something like this. Never wanted to. Never had any idea what it felt like. Zarda however, she couldn't deny the woman's beauty but...

"No...no, can't. I...I..." She reached to try and pry Zarda' s hands off her hips but then things sped up. She felt the woman's lips pressed against her neck. This woman had been with her mother and now she was trying to seduce Donna herself. She wanted to pull away but she couldn't. A shiver shot up her spine and she was rapidly getting lost in the moment.

"Why are you doing this...?" The princess whispered, losing her breath and the will to struggle free as her arms fell slack to her side.

[Power Princess]

Being married and having a baby didn’t mean a damn thing when it came to playing for the home team. Many people have done the same thing and was still gay that just meant they were hiding it. “Your mouth says no but your body says yes.” she wasn’t even really convinced Donna was still straight now. She narrowed her eyes as she thought about something while Donna kept struggling with herself over enjoying what was being done to her or not.

“Why not don’t you enjoy it?” she moved her right hand from where it was on her Donna’s hip up to her stomach for the moment “Do you want me to stop?" that hand stated to move upwards very slowly. She was going to enjoy Donna wiggle under her while she still fought with herself over what she should and shouldn’t do. “Or do you want me to keep going? speaking again giving Donna another choice.

[Deleted]

The woman who would be ruler of the world if she had her way and the way of her army was trying to seduce her and get under her top if for nothing else than to have her as an ally and great hera, this amazon princess was starting to get lost in the moment. Feelings were being stirred she'd felt for the opposite sex but never for one oof the same sex. She couldn't deny the feelings Zarda's touch were eliciting in her. She wanted more. She had just gotten a spark of a touch from hands that seemed to have magic in them

When Zarda's hand left her hip and rose slowly upward Donna was gone in the moment, Her fingers locked with those of the hand that rose up her stomach and she leaned into Zarda's touch while the back of her neck was being kissed.

"If you really want me and aren't just playing a game to have me as an ally then I am yours Zarda. You have a new soldier. I agree with everything you said about the government. I always have I just let myself be blinded for too long. I want to stay here with you." She spoke up, waiting to see what else she had in mind now that Zarda had basically transformed Donna into her personal pet in record time.
