Ch: 172 [Bruce meets Hippolyta]
[Evening] [Batcave]
Diana's mother finally agreed to talk to Bruce regarding the Atlantean matter. She refused to listen to Diana because of the usual politics where those girls with their asses up in their heads always saw themselves as better than men tried their best to sway Hippolyta from speaking to him and tried to send Diana away since she have already left home and thus is not her problem.
Well, that's where Kara came in. Just as Bruce said her to threaten them in case they refused to listen, she threatened them all by simply throwing a punch on the ground that shooked the entire Themyscira, and the Amazons stopped their bullshit and agreed to talk with Bruce.
Right now, before Bruce were the holographics of Hippolyta, Diana, and Kara.
Hippolyta nodded and spoke, "Bruce, you have to understand, the Atlanteans and the Amazons have an... complicated history. I'm not sure it's wise to interfere with their affairs."
"There isn't an option this time. As much as there are hands of humans that polluted the oceans, the same amount of Amazonian hands are there too. Didn't you bunch of girls drowned the ships after fucking the men? Now, who knows what kind of things those ships were carrying? It could be from oil to nuclear weapons. There is no saying and it is already too late now. Those Atlanteans threw up all those wastes on the land and caused massive floods, all over the world. Now, I wonder what would they do if they found out that you guys... Sorry... You girls are also involved in polluting their home?" Bruce explained with a serious expression.
"Are you trying to blackmail us?" Hearing what Bruce said, Hippolyta got furious and almost jumped up from her throne, "Are you trying to start another war?"
"Calm down, and shut the fuck up, woman. What do you mean by blackmail? It's pure fact. As for starting a war, we are already on the edge of that. Your Paradise Island will be the first to fall. That barrier of yours won't be of any use, because once the island is drowned under water, how long do you think that barrier would hold? How much oxygen would be inside that barrier for you girls to survive?" Bruce laid down the cold hard facts.
Hippolyta clenched her fists, glaring at Bruce as if she would have beaten him to death if he was in front of her.
"Now, you can either help us and we could save this world, possibly prevent a war that no one wants, or you can keep up this bullshit, and our Kara there won't have any problem destroying that place and killing at least 60% or more of you. Then I'll nuke that place. Since our world might get drowned at any second, I'll just say fuck it and end all of you," Bruce finished with a grim smile. "So, give me the location of the Atlantean kingdom."
Hippolyta didn't know what to say. She looked at Bruce with a dumbfounded expression, not knowing what to say.
"You think you can destroy my home? This is the land of Gods, protected by ancient power... If you think you can threaten us with just that..." Before she could continue, Bruce cut her off.
"Yeah, I actually can. If I want I can actually vaporise your entire island in the blink of an eye. But that would be such a waste and I don't want Diana to get angry with me, just when we started dating. But then again, I won't allow you all to sit on your ass without doing anything while my world drowns. Besides, have you checked on that Motherbox sealed in there? You should check on that," Bruce chuckled.
"You are dating my daughter?!" Hippolyta shouted as she glanced at Diana, "Are you really dating this foul man? Diana, answer me!"
That evening after talking with Hippolyta, Bruce decided to visit Sophia's bakery. He just received news from Captain Jones about how he successfully captured the Cartel head and ended their operation entirely.
"Well, at least the cops are useful for once," Bruce smiled.
On his way, he went to Skylar's room to check on her new body. She was meditating as usual. Her lightning power became too weak, and right now, she's trying to get back her old powers. So, other than the daily necessities required for a human body, she only meditates.
Bruce walked up to her and kissed her lips as usual, "You should take it easy, you know. I know you want to get your old power back as soon as possible, but don't exhaust yourself too much. You are still not fully recovered."
"Don't worry, Bruce. I'll get it back in no time," She smiled with her eyes closed. Flickers of lightning were sparking around her body and her hair had already changed color to light blue. It wasn't as vibrant as before, but she was slowly getting there. "Give me another kiss, before you go. I miss you too much. But I'll save my lust and love for later."
"Me too," He kissed her lips once again.
After kissing her, he left her room and teleported in the alley near Sophia's bakery.
Bruce can teleport with the help of the ring even though Skylar is no longer trapped inside her. This made him wonder if the teleportation power was somehow related to the ring or if it might have absorbed enough power from Skylar to function without her being trapped inside it.
"This is so complicated. As much as I want to open it up and see what kind of technology it is, I don't want to break it. Argggg! The curse of a tech expert! To want to know the truth but can't do anything about it," He sighed as he walked out of the alley.
