With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

Great to see Paul hanging with the team again! BTW who's officially on the team at this point like is Cassie Wonder Girl yet?
 
I hope Jade gets to spend time with with the junior heroes out of Paul's supervision. She needs more peers near her age. Also I can imagine her working with Arsenal in the future at least once because she's a human raised on Earth who has become accustomed to the logistics and safety of space travel. Learning from a normal human, getting different experiences than Red Arrow, that'll be good for both of them. Which is amusing due to canon… but Ambush Bug is the only one with a real chance of pointing it out.
 
The bacon and honey fade into dust as the last gasp of the wave shoots up the main thoroughfare, surging over the walls and depositing seven people inside the inner city. Five of the monstrous fishmen form a perimeter around the other two as the water that brought them here vanishes. The first is a man of average height dressed in a shocking red suit with a white shirt, black tie, black shoes and black gloves. His head is invisible and I can only tell where he's looking due to the simple red mask which appears to be floating where his face should be. Johnny Sorrow. I thought he was dead… Or at least gone. He appears to be taking in the assembled Royal Guard with affected disinterest. The second person is easy to identify. Circe. She's wearing black and purple body armour covered over by a green outer robe and she's got a very punchable face.
For what it's worth, these links don't work anymore. 🤷‍♂️
It took me awhile but I finally found the quote. Back during the Oceanus arc the the SI/MC speculates that the Olympians are actively suppressing Diana's powers because she's technically a Titan and can grow more powerful than them.
Something occurs to her. "Is there something which you know about me which you have not told me?"

Oh… Poop. "A.. couple of things."

"Alright." She smiles. "Tell me. Let us see what is so disturbing that you would hesitate to tell me."

"Diana, I don't think that's a good-."

She raises her eyebrows slightly. "You still have a full seventeen days on your oath still to serve. Do you intend to take advantage-"

"No."

"-of the fact that it is unenforceable?"

"No."

Her smile broadens slightly. "You may have noticed, I have fairly strong feelings where the truth is concerned. I promise you that there is nothing you can say to me about me that is true that will lower my opinion of you."



"Alright. You know that Dryads regard themselves as being Gaea's daughters?"

She hesitates for a moment, then nods. "You believe that I should think of myself in the same fashion, since it was Gaea who gave me life and not my mother."

"I'm the last person to speak against the relationship you have with your adoptive mother, or your relationship with Kon. But the fact remains that the magics in your body are those of the earth and not of war. You live like a demi-goddess when as far as I can tell you're Oceanus' youngest sister."

She waits for a moment, then holds out her hands palms upwards. "You see? That wasn't such an earth-shattering revelation. Unless you have more to say on the subject."

"Gaea didn't just reshape and empower the magics in the earth to bring you to life in the way she did the magics in plants to create the Dryads. You've got her in you. I still don't understand why you're as -relatively- weak as you are."

"Perhaps it is something that I must grow into. Or perhaps she wanted me to experience the full range of Human life before I experience apotheosis."

"Or perhaps the 'blessings' the other goddesses gave you were intended to suppress your innate abilities."

The smile fades somewhat and she raises her eyebrows. "That, is speculation."

Thankfully, she is no longer restricted that way and is now growing in power so that she will inevitably become more like a god or a titan in the future.
