Owner	Pose
Selene Gallio	The Package wasn't left without a few different trackers on them. Soon after the successful stealing of whatever it was that those high end security guards were guarding, the tracking device went dark. They were trying all sorts of methods to get it working, resetting it, even scanning for the other trackers that were supposed to be 'unjammable' on the container... and yet, all attempts to identify the object did not work. It's been a few days since the robbery. And the tracker suddenly, and without warning, started up again. The security force was already off the case, they were paying out big time in terms of reputation and if those metas still had the package in their care they knew they couldn't handle it. Contacting Wonder Woman, they asked if she could go in their place, and that they would even pay her to retrieve the container and get it back to them. The location they give was narrowed down to a restaurant in Chinatown called The Duck. Named after the neon sign on the front that featured a duck, and probably less so the name of the place which in Cantonese reads more like 'Bird Soup Restaurant'.
Diana Prince	Appearing as Wonder Woman, in full costume... even if covered over in a concealing robe, always made for a ruckuss in high populated places and Chinatown was just that. Highly populated. Almost all day at all hours, the tourism was high in Chinatown and the local population itself was quite dense in that burough of the city. She had no choice though, she had to be ready for a fight and she didn't like fighting without her gear. So Wonder Woman arrived at the restaurant, with her dark blue hooded robe on with the hood up over her head, the robe concealed most of her form and made her just look like a tall 'bundled up' woman, but those who got a good enough look at her would likely recognize her. Diana waited for her turn and then stepped past two people who were taking her photo with their phones, she mostly ignored them since she was on-assignment, and she went inside to let her blue eyes roam about the eatery's interior.
Selene Gallio	Certainly some people recognized her, though with the robe on some people argued about if it was truly her or someone going to some cosplay casting or even if they saw what they though they saw. Inside of the restaurant it was a bit easier to see who was under the clothing. And the few people who recognize her take pictures like she's a celebrity, unashamed, and then quickly looking at the picture so they can post it to social media of some kind or another. One of the waitresses quickly scurries up to Wonder Woman and bows, "Excuse me, miss. You are requested upstairs. Please, follow me." And the waitress will begin to head off, waiting to see if the super heroine will follow. There's a side stairwell, right next to the entrance, but it has one of those 'Employee only' signs on it, and the waitress de-latches the chain and waits for Wonder Woman. Should she go upstairs, the sign will be re-latched and the waitress will go back to her work. Upstairs, assuming you go up, is not very well populated. There's a chef off to one side ready to make anything that the people upstairs wish to order. There is one waitress up here as well, clothed in a very fancy traditional chinese dress. In fact, the entirety of the upstairs is far different in decorum than downstairs, like someone walked into a parallel universe. Right now there is but one woman who seems to be drinking some wine, near a window, looking out toward the street. On the table is the container that had been taken at the robbery. Though this woman looks like someone who would fit in with the high class and fashionable decorum up here, she otherwise just appears to be a normal woman.
Diana Prince	Diana didn't react to the photos, they could be taken, it was perfectly fine with her. She was used to it after all these years. When the waitress approached her she offered a slight dip of her chin in a nod and then a faint smile. "Thank you." She said softly in her Greek accented voice, followed along with her to the beyond-the-chain area and went upstairs. She paused at the top of the stairs and once more let her gaze roam about, taking in the sights of the second story. When she saw the box, and the woman, she started to move in that direction. "Hello." Diana said to her. "I assume you are the one who reached out to me?" She asked in that heavily accented English.
Selene Gallio	"If you call, turning back on the tracker after I rescued it from miscreants... reaching out? Yes." Selene smiles lightly and turns her attention on the super hero. "It was very costly to get this back." She pats the package for a moment, "I had to hire 4 specialists, and 2 engineers. I am now making payments to two of those specialist's surviving families, but... here it is." She changes tone into a questioning one, "Care to join me for a drink?" Turning her head she waves over the waitress who comes to the table quickly, and in a traditional cantonese accent Selene tells the waitress to bring a second glass. This is quickly done, but while the waitress is away, Selene offers with a wave of her hand to the seat across from her, "I saw that you were the one who had stopped them from causing more harm to anyone. I figured, if you could make a difference, then so could I. What good is money if it cannot be used to return unto Caesar his due?" She bows just her head a little when the waitress returns with a glass and a bottle of wine, filling back up her own glass, she pours a second one, making the presumption that Wonder Woman is going to stay.
Diana Prince	Diana showed a faint smile at that first response and then watched the woman as she said the rest. When the invite to join her was given she glanced out the window beside the table and then exhaled softly. "Okay." Diana said quietly. Her hands came up and her shiney metal bracers were visible beneath the dark blue fabric of the robe, her hands cast her hood back off of her head and she sat down after doing so. Once seated, Diana looks over the table to the other. "You are not the one who hired the two men that I faced off with on the highway?" She asked next, her chin lowering a little as she gazed over the table at the woman. "You retrieved this item, from them?" She asked further, letting those blue pupils glance down at the box and then back up to the woman.
Selene Gallio	"That is correct." Selene mentions as she slides the glass of wine in the direction of Wonder Woman. "You are an inspiration to many. I was hoping that I might have this chance to talk to you. Get to know the heroine who saves so many, so often. This..." She pats the container, "Was a small price to pay to meet you in person." She sips some of her wine and grins. The twenty-something woman across the table from you looks out the window moments after you do, "This seat, I like it. Get to see the hustle and the bustle of people, regular, ordinary people." Then she pauses a moment, and holds up a hand, "Not to say that being wealthy is at all like being... well, so Wondrous, but it is in some ways the same." Taking off the top of the container, Selene pushes it forward, "If you want to check. There are a multitude of ancient chinese coins inside of this container. A few, other kinds of artifacts, mostly jewelry. All of it from around the Yuan Dynasty era. Each one of those coins are probably worth tens of thousands of dollars, if not more. A complete collection, would be priceless. Something a museum should have."
Diana Prince	Diana's eyes watched the wine glass get pushed toward her, but she didn't immediately react to it. She was more interested in the woman, and her story, than she was in socializing over alcoholic beverages... considering alcohol had basically no effect on her she'd never had much interest in consuming it unless it was for social normalities--of which she wasn't concerned with right now. "Having money does not inherently make one good or evil. Or anything in between. Its what you do with your money that defines that quality of yourself." She softly told the other before putting her eyes down onto the box after hearing of its contents. Diana's hands came up then and she would move to open said container to look at the contents. For nearly one hundred years in the 'maindlands' Diana Prince had been a curator of antiquities, she'd inspect the coins with an expert's eye. "So these two men, the ones that I fought..." She put her blue stare back onto Selene's face. "They just wanted these coins, for the payout?"
Selene Gallio	Watching as you don't take the drink, Selene sips at hers some more and then settles it back down on the table and watches as you take the container. Considering it and it's contents far more than the glass, "Having money makes one able to... act. And when I saw on the news that some men had gotten away, it was just a matter of talking to the right people to know who had stolen the goods. The Juggernaut, such a... funny name, really." She shakes her head a bit, "And the other is more of a shadow. Though, contacts in the underworld seem to know him, I still do not think I got his name correct. Not that it matters, these villanous sorts are always hiding behind some kind of funny name. A mask to protect them, a name to give them power. It is all just an illusion to make us regular folks afraid of them. To be honest though, The Juggernaut, is not a very scary name." And she then adds at the end of your words, "Oh, I do not presuppose why they took these. To be honest, the impression I got is perhaps one of them was the muscle, and the other one knew what they were after. Maybe they were really just after the technology that they stole. High powered weapons, some body armor, there were a few others things that my people saw while they were at some... warehouse. Though I am sure everything is now cleared out, this was really all that could be grabbed and brought back." Her description of the items inside the container was spot on. Yuan Dynasty sometime around the late 13th century. The currency shows the way it was traditionally made and much of it is just coinage that had been minted in the time. True enough, for a currency collector, these might be worth quite a bit of money. The jewelry would likely sell for less than the coins, because it is mostly of more normal chinese origination, perhaps the spoils of pillaging many townships.
Diana Prince	Diana continued to watch and study the woman across from her, she wasn't entirely sure that this woman was as casually uninvilved as she claimed to be, but for now she wasn't anything more than a presumably wealthy enough person to recover some valuable relics. "His actions speak much louder than his name." Diana replied about the Juggernaut. "I can personally atest to that after clashing with him." She put her eyes back down onto the coins then and after a moment of inspection she closed the lid on the container. "I will see that these are returned to their proper owner and offer my thanks to you for recovering them. I would very much like the address to the warehouse you found them in, even if nothing else was left, I... would like to look around for a bit." "You put yourself at risk, going after strong criminals like this. What is it thatyou get out of doing such a thing, Miss...?" And there was the name-request drop.
Selene Gallio	"Oh. I am sure he is strong, he looked gigantic from the footage I got on him on Youtube. There are a lot of those, tons of them in fact. He does not seem to care if everyone knows his name. And giant, I mean, the largest man I have ever seen." Selene shakes her head a bit at that, and sighs out a little bit, sipping at her wine some more. "How strong are you then? Did you manage well against him? I hope so. I would hate it if a man could beat the strongest woman alive. Well, there's that Supergirl person, but I still think you would win." She waits a moment and nods her head, "Good. I was hoping someone would arrive who could return them. I almost didn't turn the tracker back on, but the engineers assured me these things were not traceable except for by the people who had installed them. So, I felt safer at least." She smiles a bit at that, "We all can't be super heroes. But, for a moment, I get to say I've done something good. And besides, when I tell my equestrian friends at the club that I shared wine with the Wonder Woman, they will go bonkers." Laughing a little bit, Selene ohs and smiles again, "Misses, well, Miss now, Gallio, but please call me Selene. There is no need to be formal. Besides, you look like you are much older than me, it'd be weird to use Miss. If you ever need an invite to a party, let me know, I am usually at all the best ones."
Diana Prince	Diana's attention remained on that of Selene's face while the woman spoke all of that to her, she didn't alter her expression at all-it just remained calm and soft. "I was..." She started. "In the process of figuring out the Juggernaut's weakness when they claimed what they'd come for and departed before I had had a chance to find a weakness capable of putting him down. In truth, my failure in the fight was focus on him rather than the one who created their escape route. The other man, is who I should have felled first. But, whats done is done... should I meet either of them again then I will approach them with what I learned." Diana's hands were on either sides of the bos still, her thumbs still gently resting on the front of the container. "If this is something you are going to continue to do, recover stolen goods... I will urge you to contact the Justice League headquarters to aide you rather than putting hired security at risk who may not be up to the challenges they will face. I will gladly come to confront any such warehouses, like the one you found this in." She tapped the box lightly with her thumbs then.
Selene Gallio	Patiently Selene listens to you explain what happened during the battle and she then nods her head a little bit. "I am sure, you sound like a soldier. Learn, fight, learn some more, and continue. I met a marine a few days ago, very similar kind of disposition." And Selene keeps listening then to your warning about continuing to do this, and she leans back a bit in her seat. "If I continue to do this? Hmmm. I really hadn't thought about it. You know, I had done this good deed, and I was more or less thinking I would go and just party for a few more years now that I had kind of evened the scales. As it were." And then she hmms and nods, "I think I might though, now that you brought it up. How would I, you know, get ahold of this Justice League?"
Diana Prince	Diana's red painted lips would up turn in a faint and brief smile at the title of soldier and she'd gently nod her chin a single time. "One could say that." She'd quietly comment on that before moving on. "If you have a way of me reaching you, I can take that with me and once I return to my home I will then send to you ways of reaching the Justice League's Hall as well as myself. You clearly have a commendable level of resources at your disposal and I am eager to have you help me find--and recover--stolen goods like this." Its nothing new to Diana Prince, she'd had contacts helping her recover black market goods for decades now. "Especially if you come up wih any more leads on the where-abouts of this Juggernaut on his shadowy friend. I would very much enjoy seeing them brought to the justice they have earned."
Selene Gallio	"You can always come here and just leave a message with Ah-ee." For just one word she gains a chinese accent, the name of the waitress as she nods over to her. "She will get me the messae, I come here far more often than I ever touch a phone." Selene states easily enough, and drinks down the last bit of wine in her glass. "If I can get the address to their other warehouse, I'll give that over to you as well. It costs money to get anything from these 'professionals'. I think they use that word just to make themselves seem more expensive, like Champagne versus sparkling wine." With that she stands up and would be quite a bit shorter than Diana if it weren't for those ridiculously high heeled boots she wears. Though her frame is far different than Wonder Woman's, as Selene doesn't look like she carries any muscle that isn't there to keep her figure curving, and is otherwise very lean and slender. "I should get going, though it was an absolute pleasure to meet you. I would love to help you, and this Justice League in any way that I can. Please, please, do not hesitate to reach out. My late husband knew a great many people, and I have inherited more than just his wealth. And sometimes, exclusive clubs cater to more than just the wealthy. This will be fun." She grins and speaking in Cantonese again, she turns toward Ai, "This woman may come by and drop off a message for me. Get in touch with me through the normal channels, when she does." And then back to English, speaking to Wonder Woman, "Again, you do not know how much it is good to see a strong, healthy, and ... very healthy woman participating in an oherwise male-dominated field."
Diana Prince	Diana showed another brief and small smile then a pair of light nods as the woman moved to stand up from their table. "Yes well, the pursuit of wealth will drive many to do mad things. Including mask their true selves." Another glance was given over to this Ai individual, but they received a smile from the Princess as well. "I will bring the message here then." She told Selene and Ai. Diana remained in her seat while Selene stood, she was actually considering eating a meal here to absorb a bit more of the place's atmosphere before she'd head out herself. "Thank you again, Selene, for returning these items to me. It is a very honorable thing you have done and it proves that you are a woman who should be held in high regard, all your own. I look forward to more interactions." Diana said with a smile for Selene.
