Ancient Reunion, Grecian style!
Date of Scene: 23 February 2020
Location: Themysciran Embassy
Synopsis: No description
Cast of Characters: Achilles, Diana Prince




Achilles has posed:
    So, it's a couple days later, but the guards at the entrance of the Embassy speak over the intercom. "Ms. Prince?" one asks. Not confused so much as just inquiring. "There is a ... man here asking to see you." Yeah. She might not like men. What? Amazon.
    "He says his name is... oh you're going to love this. Achilles."

Diana Prince has posed:
Diana is summoned to the foyer of the embassy by this arrival and she has the gate guard usher the visitor inside. She's there when he's brought in and she offers him a faint smile. "You should call ahead next time." She tells him, in good nature of course. A nod is given to the guard who brought Achilles in and Diana offers him a hand to shake if he desires. "Welcome though, all the same." She keeps that light smile then. "Just happened to be passing by, I assume?" Dian asks in her thickly accented voice.

Achilles has posed:
    "Sorry." admits Achilles with a sheepish smile, "I couldn't help it. I just wanted to see how your people would react." But he shrugs and accepts the hand, "Well, we spoke about having a visit." he adds.
    He looks about and nods his approval before making sure the two of you are in as private a room as possible. "I also wanted to... well, I cannot make any excuses for the man I was so long ago. But.. for all of the deeds I performed that harmed you and yours, I want to not only apologize, but make amends. It is far too late, but.. I still wish to try. If you will allow me."

Diana Prince has posed:
What Achilles says then is given a moment's thought and then Diana shows another light smile before she turns and motions down the central hall of the embassy that leads beneath a grand staircase. "Come, to my office. We can talk there." She tells him then before she starts to lead the way. It is a short walk past a few other rooms and doorways before they reach the double doors that go in to Diana's office.

"You do know that you are not beholden to any such 'amends'." She tells him then as she motions to the seating area inside the office off to one side of it near the windows. "All of that was a very long time ago. What you do today is what I will personally take in to consideration with regard to what I think of you now."

Achilles has posed:
    Nodding, Achilles states simply, "Because I am not beholden, but choose to anyway... that means more to me personally. But I thank you for the consideration. It -was- a long time ago." And having said that, he pauses to close his eyes, memories flowing back.
    "What I will do today." he says more softly, "I have found my old Hephaestus forged gear, and thought to help protect the people of this land since they lost their... most valiant protector recently." He inclines his head a bit, "Unless you would advise against that."

Diana Prince has posed:
Diana takes a seat on the edge of a leather sofa chair and she places her hands together whilst interlacing her fingers. She looks to Achilles then and after hearing his proposal of aiding the world with what abilities she has she shows him another light smile. "There is always need for more brave and capable people to step forward and put their lives on the line to protect innocents. This is why I finally stepped out of the shadows and decided to do the same myself, three years ago now." When Superman died, in fact.

"So I support you in this, Achilles." She says further. "In fact, if you are truly dedicated to it. We... we might be able to included you in Justice League affairs, though they are yet rare and slim these days. I have been dividing my time between them and with the Avengers here in Manhattan, while also teaching at a school for young heroes."

Achilles has posed:
    "Well... I am not sure that I am really ready for trying out for your League." offers Achilles with a shrug, "And it's not like I am really putting my -life- on the line. From what I can tell, I -can't- die. Period. But... I understand what you are saying. I quit the original war because I was becoming more beast than man. I was just a killer with no remorse, no conscience. And I could not take the weight of all of the Greeks laying their hopes upon my shoulders. So I let them believe me killed and lived in the shadows ever since."
    He turns to peer about the room, "But.. the odds are, anyone I meet would assume I was just adopting the name. Funny thing.." he says with a chuckle, "For a time, I thought I might have lost my.. edge, the killer instinct. But now that thought does not worry me. I do not -want- a killer instinct. I wish to be a defender, not a killer."

Diana Prince has posed:
Diana simply remains seated there in the lounge section of the fairly spacious and large office. The rest of it is filled with book shelves built into the walls, her Eagle Armor on display inside of a small alcove between the shelves, a small kitchenette area near the lounge area, and her office desk on the far wall with two chairs in front of it.

"Well the League, as it is now, is mainly a resource and contact list of worthy heroes around the world and beyond who can be called upon for Assistance when it is needed. The Justice Hall in Metropolis is... mostly empty these days. We do keep in contact and meet there, when something needs to be discussed, of course, but having your contact information could benefit a lot of people if you truly do desire to help the world at-large, as I have chosen to do now."

She levels her gaze at him, wearing a pair of black framed glasses over her eyes and her dark hair tied back behind her head, Diana looks stately in this moment. "You are very capable, you could be a powerful force for good in this world, Achilles."

Achilles has posed:
    "And yet... if I gave in to the man I used to be, I could be just the opposite. I would need one who I know can put me down... to help keep me on.. as they say, the straight and narrow." Achilles turns to face you, "You are far more powerful than I. I am merely a warrior who cannot die. Promise me that if I get out of hand, you will stop me?" he asks.

Diana Prince has posed:
These words and this question from the man cause the Princess to just softly shifts her head right to left as she momentarily parts her palms from being pressed together. "It is my sworn duty to do just that." She replies to him. "I hope above hopes that it would not come to such a thing, but as an Amazon it is my duty to stop the innocent lives of this world from being put into harm's way by forces of evil and malice. So... yes, I accept these terms." And this last line makes Diana show Achilles a little blossoming grin.

Achilles has posed:
    "And... your Aunt." Achilles says, his throat catching on the words. Then he shakes his head, "So long ago, and yet the memory of her is still fresh. I loved her you know. As the life left her, I loved her. But, you have a formal apology for the death of your blood." he states as he faces you fully, letting you see the shame in his eyes.

Diana Prince has posed:
This topic is a little more trying of one, though if she were Hippolyta it might not go nearly as well as it will with her. "I have lost other family members close to me as well." Diana replies in quiet tone. "What happened between the two of you was not anything that I could intervene on, and what happened is since past now. this is ultimately why I say that I will base my actions now toward you, based on what your actions toward the rest of the world will become. Whether it being my helping hand, or my ire and... well." Diana just shows a little brief smile then. "Again, we shall have to consider it water beneath a bridge. It is the best course of action, I would say."

Achilles has posed:
    "I am sorry for bringing it up." But Achilles shakes his head, "To move onto less stressful topics... President Stark?" he asks as he shifts mental gears. "I must say, that was quite a surprise. In retrospect, I guess it should not have been, but it was. Perhaps.. you might let me spar with you sometime. To see how my skills hold up?"

Diana Prince has posed:
The mention of Stark and his bid for President of the United States brings a big and bright smile to Diana's face as she glances to her right and then shakes her head as she looks back to Achilles. "He is a man with lofty ambitions. I think there is a very good chance he can win such an office too. But... I also think even he may not fully understand what it is that he is in for /with it/. He would do a fine job though, I do believe."

Diana rises up from her chair then and steps toward the kitchenette area. She gathers up a glass. "Would you like something to drink? We have a wide variety of choices." As she gathers up a bottle of tea from a chilling rack, she pours some for herself. "I would be happy to have a sparring match some time. I have two of my Amazon sisters with me here in the United States, and we often practice at morning and at night."

Achilles has posed:
    "If you would allow it, I think that I would like to join with all three of you. I need to make sure that my skills are sharp. And that my control is on." suggests Achilles as he moves after you. "And I would very much enjoy sharing a drink with you."
