[INDENT]Diana Prince had been more than willing to slam her fist into the God of Thunder’s jaw to make a [i]point[/i] considering how the arrogant fool had presumed it was acceptable to block her justice, and the justice of the innocent people that she stood for. She may not have been the icon that represented the City of Tomorrow but she was one of fair justice and not just in Gateway City but the [i]world[/i] and the people Corben had endangered were definitely the children of the world. Diana crossed her arms as the words were spoken, her expression turning cold. Realizing his folly, Superman stepped forward to neutralize the conflict that was near to a breaking point and while Diana was unhappy with the action she made no ill reaction towards it.

[color=steelblue][b]"It might go against my better instincts but... I'm going to trust you with Corben's wellbeing. I'm going to trust that should I visit Luthor's Watchtower I'll find Corben in good condition, able to account for his actions this day, and entirely unharmed. I'm going to trust that you won't mistreat him or that he won't [i]somehow[/i] disappear between now and then. If you're half the man the legends say you are, Thor, you'll see to it that your League is true to its name and Corben sees justice."[/b][/color]

Diana fumed as Superman spoke his words to Thor.

Evidently it was not only Thor who was blocking her justice, but also Superman himself. Diana couldn’t understand why he could find it acceptable to “trust” Thor with such a responsibility, especially when he [i]knew[/i] the powers of the Lasso of Truth could easily drag it out of Corben fast enough that both parties could sufficiently be appeased with the conclusion. It would’ve wasted little time bringing the truth out of the irradiated metallic man’s lips… but that action had been put out of her hands. Why? Why had it been taken out of her hands?

[color=steelblue][b]"And if he doesn't? If some timely accident were to befall Corben that left him incapable of answering for his crimes or were he to suddenly disappear from the face of the Earth without explanation, I want you to know that I would hold [i]you[/i] personally accountable."[/b][/color]

Diana’s anger settled a little on Superman’s words as well as his tone. But she still had questions for her friend on why it was [i]necessary[/i]. Her eyes moved to Thor, who looked as displeased as she felt and perhaps even… insulted?

[color=FFA500][b]"I take thy meaning, now take mine. Thy conduct toward the Justice League has been most unbecoming, if thy purpose is to aid those in need, as it appears, thy mistrust of my compatriots can only foster the same in those we seek to protect. For all our differences, I wish thee well."[/b][/color]

And then Thor was gone and Diana turned her eyes to her friend.

[color=D14F43][b]“I would hope you have sense to explain why those actions and words were wise.”[/b][/color] 

Diana took a heavy breath as she reached down on the nearby street to pick up her shield before returning it to her back. 

[color=D14F43][b]“Help me [i]understand[/i] why it was what we [i]needed[/i] to do, because I am at wit's end here. We could have easily allowed Thor to take Corben [i]after[/i] we made him speak. You know of the lasso, you’ve seen it in action. But… you let Thor leave with no answers leaving Corben’s lips. Why?”[/b][/color]
