Beware, Caesar The Ides of March

[jla_atlantis]

The coup is in full swing. The palace guards, under the command of Lord Kostan, now chase the elusive Regent and his already injured Amazon companion through the labyrinthine palace. Fortunately, the Regent seems to know the palace better...

...And unbeknowst to all involved, help for the beleaguered pair is on the way.

"So -" She looks around the hidden alcove in the hidden passage, behind the room with a locked door. She's not exactly sure where in this ancient place she is. "How badly screwed are we?"

[violeteyedmage]

"Pretty screwed," he replies simply.

"So let me get this straight: You can keep healing me in spurts, but your powers are drained here. No teleportation, and they might be able to track you when you do use your powers?"

[violeteyedmage]

"That just about sums it up," he replies, eyes narrowing. "Dolphin gave them the ability to do it."

There's only a slight hardening of her lips. Barely noticeable, but Garth will know. She sighs it away.

"At least Cerdian is on the surface with Roy. We should find -" She stops because there's loud noise coming from two directions.

A wall to their right explodes and a half dozen guards, weapons poised with feral smiles, come in after them, with more promised on the way.

They've been in worse spot, but she is still injured from the fight with Anteaus. Garth's powers have been capped, and there's no way out.

And that's when the sound to left becomes deafening and Garth can feel the magical currents building and building to explosive levels!

Black energy roils through a sliver in reality. Raven appears through it, Santana directly behind her. The shield slips away as Raven spies Garth and Troia.

It comes back up moments later as she feels something intending them harm..

"Great Hera! Where did you come from?!"

[blackest_bird]

"I could ask the same thing." Raven replies, her tone friendlier than her words. She scans her team mate. "You're wounded." She assesses, reaching out a hand. "Let me take care of that."

[santana_slade]

Santana looks apologetically into what appears to be thin air. "I have to, they might not believe me otherwise."

She then turns to Tempest. "I was pulled into the astral plane...I think the injuries I incurred in the attack pulled me there to heal." She takes a deep breath. "I've been talking to Tula."

Raven grasps her by the wrist, and channels her energy into the warrior. Raven holds the pain within her, not wanting anyone else to know what it cost her to heal. Within moments, Troia was feeling much better. Raven, on shaky knees, sat down on the ground for a moment, catching her breath.

[violeteyedmage]

His gaze turns to Satana.

"...what?"

His voice is almost icy calm.

Donna yelps as the empath takes the pain and injuries from her and then heals the wounds. It's a sharing you never get used to.

"You disappeared with Dolphin..."

[blackest_bird]

"I saw her too," Raven adds. "She was in the astral plane, trying to help me against Dolphin. She attacked me." She hesitates. "Dolphin attacked me, not Tula."
