A new pawn in the game (Namor)

[Power Princess]

Even the crazy ones needed a day off every now and then that’s why Zarda was flying out to an island she uses when she wants to be alone with out people wanting her for one thing or another or to get rid of the shadow she seemed to have gotten in the form of Indigo the girl she had saved day’s ago she talked a lot and very fast at times it got annoying after a while. Queen Hippolyta told her it was because the girl was grateful for Zarda saving her. She wanted to get rid of the annoying girl but she couldn’t because she realized she would need her as a pawn in her war with the government. Use her to get more people on her side to see how great Zarda is and how better she would be then the government.

Zarda landed on the island just before she begin to strip her clothes off. With the last of her clothes laying on the ground she walked into the water until it was up to her hips and she dove in swimming off. When she was under water she shot off flying under the water going deeper and deeper before suddenly stopping to explore a coral reef and the fish near it. It was nice to know not everything had been killed by those Doomsday clones it didn’t even look like they even touched the ocean much. But they did at some point they couldn’t fly but jump in ten mile leaps so they would have to be in the water a few times to get to the other side of the world. She floated there not moving just watching the fish swim all around her. You wouldn’t think someone like her would like this but she did no one knew it however one of the few things she kept to herself.

After a while she made her way back up to the surface she laid on top of the water just floating there. She closed her eyes just letting the water take her were ever. If she was carried away from her island she can just fly back when she’s ready to but right now she wasn’t planning on going anywhere. This was wonderful the only noise besides the water was a Scarlet Macaw probably another animal that had been scared out of it’s habitat by the clones.

Atlantis remained untouched under the sea. Invasion plans had been made, but those in the kingdom under the water knew hardly anything about the clones. Allies that had once been close to him were now considered enemies to the throne. America was weak. The world was on its knees. Those clones were pretty much the only allies to those who lived under the sea. With their weakening of the world, they found themselves in an opportune position. No army stood to oppose him. Many of his greatest threats had fallen, and, now, Namor and his army gathered outside the continental United States.

On a scouting mission, several miles east of America, Namor swam in the ocean. With no one around, the Atlantean was not wearing anything. When he roamed around in Atlantis, he wore the undergarments that people had known him for. There really was no need when he was alone, besides he was much faster going through the water without that damned thing. He was also on hunting mode. If any human presented themselves, he was more than likely to kill them. Word could not get out about the plans of the beings under the sea. Even if it was his former love, Sue Storm, he was more likely to find a way to silence him. Then, something amazing appeared in front of him.

A woman, completely in the buff, laid on the water. Instantly, he recognized the woman. Power Princess, as people loved to call her. Zamor. An army of Amazons followed her every command. Someone who he would not anger, as she had the same goals as him. The government of the United States had been corrupt for years, and, only a few months prior to the clones invasion, he had broken contact. This sent a few murmurs of beginning a war with those in Atlantis through the minds of the American people. Luckily, they had been attacked by the clones before they began their war.

"Zarda, it's quite nice to see you looking so well. Your battles with the government haven't tarnished your looks at all."

[Power Princess]

Someone or something was coming Zarda could hear them it wasn’t a clone they couldn’t move through the water like that but if by some chance found a way to she knew it still wasn’t them. They were loud they couldn’t speak a word but they could laugh a laugh that would haunt your nightmares until the end of days that is if you were lucky enough to live that long. If not pray that your death is fast and painless instead of a slow and extremely painful one that some suffered and some how a few had survived it forever changed.

But there was no laughing or any other noises they might make just something moving through the water very fast that suddenly stopped. She opened her eyes her lavender eyes finding Namor’s Blue-Grey one she made no move to cover herself like anyone else would do but she did sit up in the water to be face to face with the king of Atlantis. “The government is all but gone in hiding or more then likely dead. What brings you all the way out here Namor?” She knew of the king found him interesting enough when he wasn’t trying to be a hero. She had a feeling he would be trying to move on the world or just the states for now if that was the case he would have to go through her and her army she wasn't going to give it up to anyone even him for any reason.

In the wake of the destruction of most of the surface world, reports had flooded in from several places. News about how Namor was taking surface women as his wives. Yes, plural. It was a pretty insane thought to have, but people seemed to believe. Gossip. There was no doubt to it. Those little secrets passed to people would be the true demise of those who lived above the water. That specific rumor had led to the deaths of several women. Drowned. Surface dwellers were really that stupid. Why in the world would the king of Atlantis take just any woman to be his bride? No thought had occurred in their head that the man hadn't taken a wife in a very long time for a reason.

Well, the rumors were partially true. A queen was desired to rule over the realm while he was attacking. Trust was a bit of an issue with the potential candidates to rule in his absence. Perhaps, he did not want a queen just to reign in his place. A woman that could take the field of battle would be just as suitable. There was no need for a damsel in distress. If his queen was to get captured, the captors could have. Weakness was not fit to rule the throne. Once upon a time, those thoughts would not have been prevalent. Now, he was in a war with several countries. No time for idiots.

Zarda seemed to know exactly why he was there. Besides perhaps a few former allies, he had no need to actually go to the United States. Unless, he was making another move on those who had been a throne in his side for so long. He also knew that the woman in front of him was not going to lose her hold on the States without some sort of fight. Smiling, he nodded at her, as if agreeing to her thoughts. "Yes, I am here to take what is rightfully mine. The clones are not a threat to me and my men. Even you must know that you will not be able to take the United States by yourself. The heroes won't help you," he said, chuckling softly. "So, why don't you join me? More manpower. Less problems. Isn't that how the phrase goes?"

[Power Princess]

Zarda floated there in the water listening to what Namor was saying. He wanted them to join forces to take over the world? Share the throne of the world with him? Why would she allow such a thing to happen? When she could just kill him now and be done with it. Could he survive a nuclear detonation at point blank rage? Probably not he’d be gone and she would be free to take the world herself but it wasn’t that simple. If she killed him now someone else would take his place and most likely would start a war with her a pointless one she had no time to waste on. The same would happen with Namor if she refused him here and now he wouldn’t give up and go home it wasn’t like him he would fight and she didn’t want to waste her time and energy on a war with him.

“Join you in what way? I have no plans in stepping into a lower rank. I don’t bow to anyone nor do I take orders from anyone and I wont start now not even for the King of Atlantis.” she crossed her arms just under her breasts with a not to happy look on her face. If that was what he was planning on her doing it wasn’t going to happen ever in other words he better have a better have something good. She had at lest a thousand heavily trained Amazons that’s been training for the last two to three thousand years before she showed up and they haven‘t stopped with their training since she took over. She wasn’t just going to give them over to Namor because he was king of Atlantis.

If Zarda truly believed she was going to take America by herself, she would be sorry. As long as those surface dwellers had the love and affection of Thor, no one was about to take the world over. Much less America. Sure, she had an army. That meant nothing. The superheroes of America, like they always seemed to do, could bring them down. Two armies, though, attacking from opposite sides could stretch the heroes out. Leave them vulnerable. One side would eventually break, and, with the armies marching towards each other, could lead to the demise of both the clones and the heroes who had been a thorn in his plans for a longtime. And those who had been an ally.

A laugh erupted from Namor would she suggested that she would never bow down to him. People underestimated him. An entire kingdom bowed to him and answered to his every call. Zarda didn't have the numbers that Namor currently possessed. "I don't expect you to bow. Something much different, actually," he said, a sly grin on his face. "You won't defeat the heroes alone. I'm merely asking two equal people to stand together. As one. A king and a queen. Emperor and empress, if you understand what I'm saying."

[Power Princess]

Zarda might not have a underwater kingdom like Namor but she did have many allies and more coming in each day. She was even going after the Mighty Thor himself not really all that hard when you knew what buttons to push besides it didn’t hurt she knew him from their time on the Avengers before everything went to shit because the government had been ran by greedy fat old idiots who are scared of their own shadows. And ready to blow everything up instead of finding a way to work things out with people or whatever the problem might have been.

She narrowed her eyes when he started laughing at her she didn’t find anything funny and was about two seconds away from punching him for laughing at her. “I may be insane but that doesn’t make me stupid. I know I need others to help me which I’ve been doing.” She raised a brow at what he was suggesting Emperor and empress that would mean them getting married. That’s so binding so final it did have it’s upsides though sex with someone she wouldn’t have to worry about hurting but more importantly another army. That was very hard to pass up such fire power like that. But did she want to get married? Then again Zarda was the type to do what she wanted when she wanted and with who marriage probably wouldn’t slow her down. “I accept your offer as long as I’m not playing second fiddle to Sue Storm that is.” she like everyone else knew about him and Sue and she unlike everyone else was pretty sure they were doing more then the random kiss. Not that she would blame Sue for cheating on Reed. He barely gave her the time of day.

To be honest, all Namor truly wanted was the Western Coast of the United States. For several reasons, really. The mutant safe haven of Utopia would never be truly protected under the X-Men. As a former ally, he knew that they were an easy group to split up. People didn't seem to like Cyclops as their leader, and Namor would be more than happy to take over the X-Men. With royalty as their leader, the mutants would have constant protection. The X-Men would very much become heroes to the eyes of the American people and they would rally behind them. This was a truth that Namor knew well. If the didn't rally behind them, he'd make sure of it. Somehow.

Again, the prince nearly laughed at Zarda's face. It seemed the woman was angry over Namor laughing at her. The grimace was quite comical to him. Did Zarda really expect Namor to truly stay faithful to her? That wasn't much of a possibility. For both parties. The marriage wasn't one of love, but it was an alliance marriage. People in Atlantis knew that. Sure, he'd occasionally bed her, but that was until the end of the war. Had to keep appearances. "Sue Storm is in the past, Zarda. I can tell you that much, but you can't honestly believe we'll be faithful to one another. I'm sure you have people of varying genders lining up to lie in bed with you," he said, grinning. "But I know we both like to experiment once in a while." With those words, he took the woman into his arms.
