He did it during the Anti-Life.
Enabled him to replace Ares.
Given you helped flatten a chunk of the city last time you were here? Or is there something else involved? Like, say, a certain ice-wielder's best friend? Wonder if either of them are benefitting from the Justice league-adjacent fame they earned during the Anti-Life crisis?
Admittedly, unless she wants to join a tribe, there's not much for her to go back to. Which raises the question of how the former population of Brazil's cities are doing?
Has some attempt to rebuild been made, or is that something for OL to offer later?
Well, they're already dead. Not much for the Anti-Life to cling to amidst the power of their existing blessings.
I can just picture someone proposing a Death battle between them. Or against some fictional energy-construct wielders, like Quasar.
...And of course OL takes the suggestion seriously. I suspect if he had the time, he'd be contributing to those debates, if only to shitpost. Much like Batman apparently did about superhero identity discussions.
Face it, Guy, he does not get manly ribbing.
And I'm picturing it as similar to Iceman's ice slides. Or maybe the Champions Online 'Ice Slide' flight power (Though that's more a flying surfboard of ice than anything.)
Ah, these two are so sweet together. No wonder OL shipped them.
Oof. That's kind of annoying. Ever been bapped by someone's long hair flicking around? Not entirely pleasant. Especially if you have wet lips.
Politely ignoring the embarrassing PDA. How British.
Oh, man, that's got the be awkward. Even trying to use his ring would get noticed...
With a big picture of OL's smiling face on it? Replaced as needed when the holes begin to obscure it?
I hope she's at least accurate. Have you seen the state of some dartboard backing? Never mind this idiot...
Well, I guess that answers that question of accuracy. Right in the Orange Lantern symbol, eh?
Since I doubt this Bea is interested in titillating guys online with her 'is she naked under there?' act on 'blazingfire.com'.
...Either her rage is feeding her flames, or she got a powerup somewhere.
Which makes me wonder if she was Justified during the event, or managed to stay free...
And all this is playing out over the streets of Oslo, no less. Hopefully it won't show up online...
Good thing it didn't penetrate her armour. Imagine having to explain that. Once you finished putting her insides back inside her.
Possibly wondering if 'Did he really just shoot me?!' Then again, it was reasonable self-defence.
...Really? Because I don't see anyone else with green fire around that could have taken that shot.
Smart man. Brave, but he's wise enough to avoid any potential girlfriend trouble.
Okay, sure, she wasn't exactly A-plus before. But I guess the Anti-Life gave her a bit of an inferiority complex, maybe.
...Surprisingly fitting, given her friendship with Tora. But there aren't many gods of Fire on the Northern European pantheons.
I could see Odin being a little vexed about Tyr jumping ship. The others probably would do it for shits and giggles.
Interesting. Wonder if there's a bit of a Red Light connection to it...
And not to be confused with the similar-sounding Loki. At least it wasn't Surtr (Who technically isn't even a capital-G god) or someone on the more evil end of the scale.
...You deserved that one.
[/sarcasm] I suppose it made sense at the time, binding herself to her friend's pantheon in return for the power to stand alongside her. But still, tying herself to someone who once out-ate Loki himself? Doesn't seem like a good plan in the long run. No telling what he might compel her to do someday...Accalacan has open borders.
'The', and a Double space after Norse.
Being dead isn't a guarantee that they'd be resistant to Anti-Life.
Thank you, corrected.
The funny thing is that Paul literally enabled them.
I mean Beatriz was a member of the intelligence service wasn't she? If there's anything like a Brazilian "Government in Exile" then they'd be in a state of active war with Paul (and probably Themyscira as well by proxy) over that.
Yeah, that's actually a big issue I have with Paul over this; he made all this noise about not interfering with the internal politics of a nation while giving a dryad goddess and Hugo Danner to the Accala.
I'm not sure how much you can blame Paul for the former, but he didn't know about the latter until after the Team as a whole reunited Hugo with the Accala. If anything, Squire should get more blame because she knew who he was and didn't tell anyone until it was too late to do anything about it.
Giving the place to Euanthe only happened after the Sheeda destroyed in country, with the Accala remaining in fighting shape.
You know I'm now wondering if Odin actually knew about Darkseid before the Anti-Life attacked Earth.
It's possible, especially since the First of the Fallen told the Renegade that Darkseid and DeSaad once visited Hell. The First of the Fallen found Darkseid's attempt to control him with the Anti-Life amusing.
An entirely understandable reaction IMO. Paul and Guy can be insufferable indvidually or together.
Ah, the joy of being out in public with friends who are in the lovey-dovey stage of their relationship. The shared embarrassment with other friends about their displays of baby-talk and pet names... And the occasional bit of jealousy from that one friend who isn't dating anyone...
I mean, if nothing else, it might get awkward living with newlyweds.
...Ah. I'm guessing his level of homeliness is 'pigsty'.
Ah, yes. The age-old issue of 'bachelor living alone' and their dubious level of housekeeping commitment.
...Yeah, OL does kind of let his friends keep their privacy, doesn't he?
Okay, that is a bit reasonable of a concern.
Conner should not be taken as the norm for friendly discussion, OL. You know how different his upbringing is.
Maybe he's embarrassed about his place? I mean, OL could walk in, take one look and turn the whole place orange with a cleaning wave.
I don't know, he might choose to live there because, in the words of that one Spiderman newspaper comic panel, 'I'm almost enjoying my anger.'
Sounds like some form of pushing the boundaries or testing his relationship 'How did I score this babe? Will she ditch me if I act like a pig?'
Heh. Not surprising she didn't know the name of OL's partner. He is about as private with most folks as he expects them to be towards him.
...Well, that seems... Entirely in character for OL.And of course he immediately begins to consider how to fix his 'mistake' on her behalf.
And the rebuilding might make the place a bit safer for tourists, given the state of things before the Sheeda.
For a start, they're each and every one super-powered. Remember the whole fuss that arose when they were messing with lumber companies earlier?
If he had gotten involved, he would likely have tried to make peace by ensuring everyone left happy.
Yeah, turns out land that had been occupied by jungle for millennia doesn't take kindly to modern farming practices.
The problem is that they didn't want to spend the money needed to correct their methods.
Making some very reasonable points. And in usual OL fashion, being very calm and polite about it.
...Which probably doesn't make it any easier for her to hear it.
'Cornishmen' being folks from the Cornwall region of the British Isles. For you Americans, picture superpowered indigenous tribesmen invading Washington DC... And winning.
I don't know, it's a reasonable outlet for her anger.
Plus it's not easy to get her hands on the Sheeda these days.
Careful, don't want to set off their smoke alarms. I've done that a few times making toast in the past myself, since I like it dark. Then again, her magic fire probably has the benefit of being smokeless.
And with a powerset like fire control, you expect heat.
Cue hilarious misunderstanding on both sides of that statement.
"bunch of"
This is complete bullshit and she should absolutely be calling him out for it.
Thank you, corrected.
Probably throws the whole farming plan out the window when the Nature Goddess can just say "No more plant genocide" and all your crops fail no matter what
