thearena | Finding Wonder Woman

Who: Blaine and Diana
What: Blaine finds Diana
When: First Day, couple hours after the Cornucopia
Where: Right at the outskirts of Adventureland leading to Fantasyland
Notes: None Yet

When Blaine had pulled Kurt from the immediate blood shed at the Cornucopia he had ended up hiding in the ruins of the shops right at the beginning part of Adventureland. He still couldn't really believe that he was in Disneyland of all places. He'd always wanted to come here. His parents and Cooper had gone to Disneyworld once when he was small, before he had come out, but Disneyland was supposed to be an original.

Now he needed to find Diana, one of the people he knew would help protect him and Kurt. He hated the idea of leaving Kurt, because he didn't know if Kurt would disappear or die on him, but he could move faster if he was alone.

More than that, Diana knew him, not Kurt. And while he didn't think Diana was the type to ever attack someone like Kurt, it was better to have a familiar face.

Sneaking around the ruin was much easier than the glacier had been. When he say Diana's familiar black hair and feminine form in the distance he moved closer. He couldn't shout, that would just attract too much attention. Instead he purposely made some noise, hoping that no one else was around to hear them.

Diana hadn't really had a chance to seek out alliances at the Cornucopia. Harley had been her only real attempt, and that was out of desperation more than anything, a desperate attempt that hadn't exactly panned out. By the time she had thoroughly failed at claiming any of the supplies, anyone she wished to ally herself was gone or had turned her down.

So she set out on her own, tempted by the castle which appeared a relatively steady shelter, but for now she avoided sticking too much to one place, choosing to scout out as much of the park as she could. She'd been there before, and the memories of those trips with Vanessa, Cassie, and on one memorable occasion Bart are jarring in comparison to what she saw now.

Blaine is a much more welcome sight, and she smiled when she was sure it was him, straightening from her automatic defensive position. She strode over, deciding against shouting herself. She'd altered her outfit for maneuverability's sake as soon as she could spare the time, ripping the skirts up the leg as far as possible. Tearing fabric without super strength was surprisingly hard.

"Blaine," she said when she was close enough to speak without concern of drawing undue attention. She put her hands on his shoulders then gave in to the urge and drew him into a hug. "You made it past the first round." Her tone is wry, but genuinely relieved.

Blaine moved closer to her, returning the hug easily. He found her strong form so comforting that for a moment he just wanted to stay there.

"I did," he said. "I'm so glad to see you too." He pulled away from the hug and looked at her seriously.

"Someone from my home is here. Someone I love... I need to protect him." There was such a tone of desperation in his voice as he looked at her. "Can you help me?"

"Yes," she said without hesitation. Then she frowned. "They brought someone you know?" Most of those she'd spoken too had heavily hinted if not outright stated that they would bring in loved ones if the Tributes didn't fall into line. What could Blaine have possibly done to warrant the threat being carried out?

But this wasn't the time or the place to ask. "Do you know where he is? Do you have a safe place to stay?" Safe, of course, being relative.

"He's in Adventureland," Blaine said. He came from one of the worlds that gave him the names to the sections of this place. "He's safe, but I left him to come find you. Will you come with me? I don't know if you were in the middle of something?"

He hated the idea of derailing her from her own survival, but this was Kurt. Everything in him wanted to make sure Kurt was okay. His entire body was tense with guilt over having left him for even a moment. He needed to get back. He needed to have someone strong and capable with him, someone like Diana who could watch over them and make sure Kurt survived this.

Despite the seriousness of the situation Diana felt a wry smile tugging at her mouth. "I think I can fit this into my packed schedule somehow," she said, then cupped the back of Blaine's neck, an automatic comforting gesture. "I made you a promise, remember? I'm very determined when it comes to keeping my promises. It's an Amazon thing."

Blaine sighed, letting out some of the tension. For a moment he leaned into her touch. "Thank you so much," he said. Then, pulling back he guided her towards Adventureland.

"His name is Kurt. He's..." The love of my life. "He's my ex-boyfriend but he and I are still really good friends. There is no one I love more than him."

"A mission of love," commented Diana, allowing Blaine to take the lead. She spoke absently, keeping an eye on their surroundings as they moved. "The worthiest kind."

Blaine smiled a bit, but the words did little to ease most of his concern.
