Wonder Woman has posed:
With the appointment placed through proper channels, Diana Prince had come to meet with the individual that which had scheduled it.

Its a quiet late afternoon in the Justice League's main HQ in Metropolis. Its fairly cold outside and there's the remains of snow from late last week still on the edges of the sidewalks and corners of buildings.

Inside the Hall its warm and inviting, there are employees and Hall Staff members moving about the lobby and they're greeting visitors.

When Amethyst arrives, she's not even required to wait like at most appointments. Nope, she's brought right on back down to the meeting hall where the double doors are opened and she's escorted inside.

Within is Diana, in civilian attire, a fine white sweater slim fit to her lithe form, black slacks and simple black shoes, her hair tied back into a pony tail. She raises up from the left side of the meeting hall's long table and she smiles to the arriving Amethyst, walking toward her to offer a hand. "Hello there. Welcome."

Amethyst has posed:
Amethyst wasn't exactly sure what to wear to a meeting with the Justice League so the extra-dimensional Princess arrived in national costume so to speak. The vibrant purple and gold armor of her House standing out on a New York street. Entering the meeting room, Amethyst takes in Diana's more civilian look and bites the inside of her cheek lightly before taking the offered hand. "Hello, thank you for seeing me." Amethyst absolutely radiates magic to the touch, particularly for those who are magically inclined. She smiles briefly. "I'm Amaya of the House of Amethyst. Thank you for the meeting."

Batman has posed:
Batman is, of course, in the garb of the Batman. He doesn't make appearances at superheroic locales outside of his cape and cowl. He's been updating the security software on the League databanks, making sure there haven't been any data compromised. Along the way, he did a quick review of recent hotspots of activity and frowned softly as he looked over the readout. Never enough, especially with Gotham itself mostly on his shoulders.

He's on his way back to the exit when he sees Diana meeting with Amethyst on the security monitors. Curious, he makes his way down, but doesn't introduce himself as of yet, lingering instead just back into the private areas. He isn't exactly tourist friendly.

Wonder Woman has posed:
Diana motions toward the table where there are many chairs and two of them in particular at the left corner and pulled out for them to clearly conduct their meeting, it seems very informal... but it is a very nice room, so there's at least that!

"You look radiant, I must say." She tells the other in rather fancy attire. "Would you like anything to drink? Tea perhaps? Whatever you fancy we likely have in supply."

Diana walks back toward her part of the table where she has a laptop and some black shiny folders set beside it. She pauses a moment as she looks over to where she can 'sense' Batman's presence and she shows a faint smirk at his ability to ghost about this place, but she doesn't comment on it as of yet, her eyes return to Amethyst.

Amethyst has posed:
"Oh, tea is fine." Amaya nods and smiles brightly. She glances back at the lingering presence, not quite seeing him and shuddering before striding to the table to sit. Her hand goes to her belt to adjust her sword before stopping with a crooked smile when she recalls she isn't carrying one. "Old habits." The princess murmurs and sits. "So-I wanted to reach out, as an individual from another dimension and all that."

Batman has posed:
Batman is fully aware that Diana can detect her presence. He's known the Amazon too long and is far too aware of her formidable capabilities. He respected her as he respected few others.

He doesn't know the girl, but presumes Diana would have good reason to invite her. For now, he'll eavesdrop, shamelessly in his own way. But there is an intercom at hand, should he desire to interject.

Wonder Woman has posed:
Diana nods to the Assistant to escorted Amethyst into the room, and she leaves to go gather up the tea from the kitchen area not far away.

"Well." Diana says then as she moves to take a seat in the chair she was originally in when Amaya had arrived. "We certainly do appreciate that level of consideration toward our efforts of helping keep this world safe. Having you come to use to state your presence and let us know of it, rather than we having to find it by... chance? It means a lot to us." She says to the other with a soft smile.

Diana reaches for one of the folders on the table and she offeres it over to Amethyst. "This a collection of information regarding the Justice League, information on some of our services, our goals and... well, a little bit about Batman in there too." She grins at Amethyst and then leans forward to whisper. "He's just as intimidating as you may have heard." She's teasing of course, for obvious reasons!

Amethyst has posed:
"I heard he's some kind of specter." Amaya whispers before taking the offered folder to thumb through. "I was here-well, it's a bit complicated. I was living on Firs-Earth for a while as a child in hiding. Since I've only been called back once by a magician. This time it was pure accident, but-it seems I'll be here longer than just to help Constantine fight evil magicians so it seemed only practical." She points out with a lift of her shoulder. She looks at Diana over the folder. "I heard about the Wonder Woman, though." She smiles faintly.

Batman has posed:
Batman is amused by Diana's teasing although, in truth, he can't deny that he is rather terrifying. That's entirely the point of Batman, after all. He's intrigued by word that the girl has magical abilities - Zatanna has recently come under a degree of trouble, having lost much of her memory for reasons unknown. Of course, the girl is quite young and untested, not likely for Batman to call upon her talents so quickly. Still. Worth filing away.

Once the employees are gone and the room is made private, Batman emerges from a hidden passage behind a large statue of Lady Justice, slipping from behind her scales like a living shadow.

"Specters are insubstantial. I am all too real."

Wonder Woman has posed:
Diana is in the middle of grinning at Amethyst's mention of 'Wonder Woman' when she shakes her head softly. "That... is a title that has come a long way through history to keep up with me." She says back to the woman. "As far back as when I first left my home island to visit the rest of the world... to see its... uniqueness." She's being polite there at the end that much is obvious.

When Batman emerges, she looks over to him and she shows a light smile. Her left hand raises up from the polished wood of the meeting table's surface and she motions to him. "In the cape and cowl himself." She says then to the Dark Knight. Her eyes return then to Amethyust.

"You work with John Constantine?" She asks. "I have heard of him, but I have never had the pleasure of meeting him."

Amethyst has posed:
Jumping to her feet at the sudden voice, Amaya whirls as she creates a blade of crystal in her hand. Blinking at the Batman she looks him up and down. "Ah. I think your doors need chimes or something." She notes and lowers the blade. She sets it against the table and looks back to Diana. "I have, in the past. Meddling Englishman. He has the-the way home, we'll say in his keeping. Pity is he's so hard to catch."

Batman has posed:
Batman snorts, "If you had met Constantine, pleasure would not be the word that comes to mind. Meddling and English, however, would, the young lady is correct in that."

He doesn't take a seat, instead just looming as is his wont, much of his body obscured by the heavy cape draped across his shoulders, the emblem of the bat framed by it across his broad chest. "The blade is interesting. Crystalline structures such as that can be quite powerful - or quite fragile. If you know how to hit them."

Wonder Woman has posed:
Diana's blue eyes look to the sword as Amethyst presents it to the Bat... She seems, reserved about it all but ultimately is confident that the situation won't escalate so she remains seated with her hands on the table in front of her.

"Yes." She softly says to Amethyst then as the other turns back around toward her. "He does not have the greatest people skills." She glances to the Bat and shows him a mischievous grin, but it fades quickly and her stare returns to Amy.

"So you have not seen Constantine in some time?" She then asks. "But you are... skillful in the ways of magic?" She gently tilts her head to this question but continues. "The League is always interested in having additional allies in the magical arts, the... mystic arts, as it is. We have had a number of situations of late that has proven we need more help with these kinds of... well, things."

Amethyst has posed:
"It's magic." Amaya shrugs. "It'll break eventually, but not readily or often, and then it's a simple enough thing to draw out another." She looks at the blade a moment but leaves it physical. Sitting back down, Amaya looks to Diana. "No, I haven't seen John since he last summoned me. However, I am magically, and martially trained. I'm a catalyst-magically speaking. I work best with others who are mystically inclined, but-" She glances to the Batman briefly before looking at Diana again "I was also trained on sword, bow, and horsemanship since I could walk. Comes with being a Princess-apparently."

Batman has posed:
Batman has never found 'it's magic' to be a particularly satisfying explanation, but he's hardly about to grumble about it to the girl. He found magic quite frustrating in many ways - he defined himself by logic, reason, deduction, systems. Magic seemed to defy all that. It left a bad taste in his mouth.

"The aristocracy has always played at war, but few are those who can do it for more than show. That's not me doubting you. I know a few wealthy plutocrats who have a formidable side themselves," he says with a thin smile.

"And yes, Diana's right. Not so long ago, the world was almost swallowed by a psychic monstrosity of gargantuan proportions. And there's never any shortage of ghouls and horrors lurking in the shadows. Some of the inhuman - some of them all too human. You are trained, yes, but are you tested? How much combat have you seen?"

Wonder Woman has posed:
Diana shows a light smile to the latter portio nof what Amethyst says there regarding her more 'practical' training and skillset. "That." She replies. "Is something that I certainly have in common with you then. Princess to Princess." She adds that last part and punctuates it with a little grin.

Batman's words soon follow though and Diana's expression falls to a more standard one as she lets her gaze go from one of them, to the other and then back again. He asks wise questions, ones that are good to have answers for.

"If you would consider working with us, we could try to help you reach out to Mister Constantine. It is entirely possible that he may heed the words of the Justice League with a bit more regard? I am not certain. But yes..." Beyond that, she remains quiet so that the questions from the Gothamite can be answered.

Amethyst has posed:
Amaya's gaze falls to her blade. "Excluding my work with Constantine, my world was for a time over taken by a cruel individual who raised monsters and warped the minds of those around him to plunge it into darkness. It is no longer so, at great cost to my family, but at least it was righted by my hand and those of my mother and aunt-if the latter reluctantly." She looks back up at Batman. "But I was a teenager then." She looks to Diana for a moment with a focused gaze. "While Earth is not my domain, our worlds are connected. I can't see any ill in helping your world while I am here." She nods a bit and looks between the two heroes.

Batman has posed:
Batman nods, "I know what it is to guard a kingdom of your own. You have your realm. I have Gotham City. I know all too well the cost of stopping monsters," he says.

"And yes, I'm certain we could rattle Constantine's cage, if need be. He's likely drowning himself in gin at the bar of some hole in the wall, somewhere in the world. I have mice in a lot of those holes. If he can be found, I can find him."

Wonder Woman has posed:
Diana softly draws in a breath and she looks upon Amethyst with a sincere concern for the plight that her people faced. "They are lucky to have had you there to help defend them and restore peace..."

A pair of quick nods follow and she shows a short and soft smile. "We are glad to have a visitor who is here to help our world, rather than seek to harm it. All too tiresome... has -that- gotten of late."

And with that, she looks back to Batman and nods a single small time toward him. "If you could track him down, and let him know that we have someone here who has an interest in speaking to him... Perhaps we can have him come to the Hall to do just that."

Once again, Diana looks to Amethyst. "We will need you to document as much as you can about the history of your people, as well as yourself, and detail the abilities that you have so that we may better understand what to expect from you and how best we might call upon you to aid us... and with those requirements met, I see no reason why we cannot grant you access to come and go from the Hall as you would see fit. You can even reside here in a personal living space, should you need it."

Amethyst has posed:
"That's...that's very generous." Amaya says of Diana's offer. She settles her hands in her lap and looks up at Batman. "It is no small task." She notes and returns her focus to Diana. "My people have been closed off from outside worlds for...a very long time. I will tell you what of my world I feel I can while keeping them safe. I hope you understand."

Wonder Woman has posed:
Diana shows a quick grin then. "I understand, more than you might realize." She replies then. "My people reside on a small island that is magically kept away from the prying eyes of others who may wish to locate it. It is... reachable, but it is difficult. And my people are quite... staunchly in support of remaining that way."

"Still." Diana places her right hand up the second fold she had and she turns it around on the table and then pushes it toward Amethyst. "We are here to help others. And if you possess great powers, skills, and experience... as well as a desire to keep others safe through the proper use of those resources?" She shows a pleased look to Amethyst then. "Then you will likely find a home away from your home, with us. We are the Justice League for a reason... and that is to ensure justice, peace and protection to all of Earth and its inhabitants."

Amethyst has posed:
"I would be a piss poor Queen some day if I didn't do all I can now to hone my skills and ensure the worlds around my own are a little safer." Amaya nods and accepts the folder. "Your home is magically concealed?" Her interest peaking visibly. "If it proves possible, I should like to see it one day. I wonder what similarities it holds to mine." She opens the folder and looks over the contents slowly.

Wonder Woman has posed:
Diana leans back in her chair then and she nods slightly once to the other's words. "It was magically encased to keep its inhabitants safe. My people were charged with the duty of protecting mankind from... well... themselves. Times have changed, however, and though my people still train for the inevitability of a war that they may yet be called to participate in... they remain isolated and hidden inside our secluded homeland."

With a breath drawn in, Diana's gaze goes toward the windows on the wall to her right where the natural sunlight is filtering in through the sheer white drapes that hang down in front of them. "Themyscira is a beautiful place." She says, returning her stare to Amethyst. "It is... tropical, you could say, white sand beaches surrounded by brilliant sparkling blue waters. Tall mountains and green grasslands with large forests filled with wondrous creatures. Perhaps I will get a chance to take you there someday, as I would hope to see your home as well."

Amethyst has posed:
"Ni-Gemworld is very lovely, but different. It lies between two worlds, Earth and Faerie. Naturally it is a bit of both." She looks at the folders again. "I can see I have a bit of paperwork to do. Shall I drop it all off once it's been completed?" Amaya asks and looks up at Diana. "I am glad we got the opportunity to meet however. You and-" She looks to Batman with a small nod. "I don't doubt there will be a reason to see how we can work together sooner than later the way things go on Earth."

Wonder Woman has posed:
"Well we will have to see how things develop. Hopefully we can get in contact with Constantine and can figure out where things will lead us from there." Diana says before she-to looks back to the Batman only to see that he's vanished again.

A light grin is cracked and her eyes return to Amaya. "He does that. He think its very impressive." She whispers again. "It might be a little bit, but never tell him!" She's clearly joking/teasing and just trying to have a little fun.

A nod is given to the paperwork just as their tea finally arrives. "You are welcome to stay here and work on if you would like. I have another appointment I have to attend to, but if you finish it you can leave it here before you go... If you have time. Otherwise you are free to take it with you of course."

The tea is brought to the table and Diana smiles to the Assistant who's quick to apologize for the wait.

Amethyst has posed:
Taking the tea, Amaya wraps her fingers around the cup. "Ghost man." She mutters of Batman's vanishing act but nods to Diana. "I'd be happy to stay and fill things out here. After all, this isn't my realm. I have nothing but time here." She grins a bit at that and lifts the tea to sip. "Thoug h I am taking advantage of all the Earth food. It's so tasty." She sighs a little. "We're practically medieval."

Wonder Woman has posed:
Diana has to grin at this as she stands up and picks up her laptop. "Well... you are more than welcome to stay. Molly here will show you around as well should you like a tour and, I look forward to catching up with you as soon as possible myself."

With that Diana rises up and she nods to the Assistant, Molly, who's standing near to the doorway.

"I hope that we get to work together soon on learning more of each other's cultures." And with that she gives another sincere smile and then nods once to Amaya before making for the doorway to go to her next appointment!
