"I didn't come all the way out here unprepared." Not after dealing with Hal. She'll be damned if she's going to allow that to happen again. She breathes deeply. "We need coffee. I got me some luggage to unpack."
"I can sober ya up with the ring, but that ain't the point," Kilowog chimes in. "This problem ain't your standard-issue bad guy. This freak killed one of our best friends."
His voice goes dark, as he wraps the two of them up and levitates upwards toward their room.
On one hand, she's been in Zinda's place. Wanting to go against the bad guy - no matter what. Arisia had found the biggest gun she could find and made Guy take her with him.
And now she's on Guy's side of the argument. She frowns a bit and the looks up at Zinda, nodding a bit.
"A Blackhawk never backs out of a fight." They're back in their room by now, and she's focused on grabbing a suitcase and hauling it up onto the bed. Pieces start coming out of it. Large, black, metal pieces, that look decidedly like the parts to an oversized rifle.
She didn't think she was going to need this on vacation. Not so soon after this mess with Hal. But she believes fully in being prepared. Arisia can yell at her about this later.
The pieces are coming together, and in short order, a case of cartridges follows. The cartridges look somewhat on the large side - and there aren't many of them. Perhaps ten, in all. It takes about thirty seconds to finish assembling the weapon, then she turns her attention to the cartridges, extracting one from its case.
"Xantha charges," she elaborates after a moment. "A li'l easier to manage than that thing on the Watchtower. I had some contacts throw these together for me - these are prototypes." She loads one, then two. "Got no idea if it'll do a damn thing to this Star Bitch, but it sure as hell is worth a shot, and I want to be there to see it."
Arisia can't help but smile at that, just a little bit. This really is the woman she fell in love with - in one way or another. Making her way forward, Arisia kisses Zinda on the cheek, "This is going to be different. If Kilowog say jump, don't bother asking how high, be jumping already, okay?"
Turning to look at Kilowog, Arisia looks for the words, "And you..."
His head tilts toward Riz.
Wordlessly expecting an update.

He's got the ring researching every detail he can get.
"Forgive me for sayin', since I just met you and all, but this might be a bit outta your league anyway."

"Well, if we leave her here, she'll just take over."

"You're takin' point on this, Riz. You've earned it."

"Okay."
Pulling in a breath, she lets it back out slowly. "Let me call John and let him know first. Then we'll start tracking her down."
