Welcome to Khandaq
"A vacation would do you some good," Babs said. Helena was still wondering why she went along with this. She didn't need a vacation. What she needed was to be out on the streets of Gotham kicking some bad guy ass. That was the best therapy and stress relief one could ask for.

As it was they were on a plane on their way from India to Egypt. They had spent four days in India and had seen the Taj Mahal and were now on their way to Cairo to spend a few days in Egypt to see the pyramids. Granted Helena did enjoying seeing the Taj Mahal, she still didn't think she needed a vacation.

She sat on the plane and looked out the window to watch the clouds go by.

"This doesn't sound good," Helena said when she overheard the transmission.

"No, it doesn't." Barbara said, wishing to hell that she could get WiFi on the plane.

"Sounds like somebody didn't teach those boys any manners. Fighter plane! Like we're a plane full of dangerous criminals." Zinda glanced back at the others. "Well, /dangerous/, yeah."

"Well so much for vacation," Dinah grumbled. "Anyone else got a bad feeling about this?"

The fighter plans stick close to the Blackhawk and escort the group toward the airfield. When the plane touches down, the girls are met by heavily armed security forces, with weapons.

"State your names and business. This is restricted airspace. Why have you come to Khandaq? We do not allow refugees." a tall, brown-skinned man in gray fatigues says to the women.

Helena's arms crossed and her chin went up a bit. "We're on our way to Cairo and we're on vacation."

Barbara wheeled her way to the front of the group.

"Barbara Gordon," she said. "And my friends are right, we're just passing by on our way to Cairo for vacation. We mean no harm."

Something here felt fishy. They never went anywhere without having filed the proper documents and flightplans. Dinah looked at the man carefully.

"We can show you our itinerary."

Zinda didn't like the way some of the men were eying her plane. The Blackhawk was her baby, dammit, and they weren't getting their hands on her.

"A vacation, boys. Eat, drink and be merry all over the world. You boys know what that is?"

The leader of the security forces, Amahl, isn't sure that he trusts these Western women, especially because they /all/ seem to be beautiful. Even the one in the wheelchair.

Perhaps she is trying to trick him.

"It may be as you say, but we cannot know for certain. American spies linger on our borders at all times and your nation resents our ruler.

He will be the one to decide if you will be allowed on your way." Amahl says.

"Is this the part where we're supposed to say take us to your leader?" Helena asked, clearly not amused by all of this.

"This is all just a misunderstanding," Barbara said. "Please, just let us go on our way, and you'll never hear from us again."

"No, this is the part where you kneel. He will arrive momentarily." Amahl says.

"Sorry if I don't kneel. Bad knees and all," Helena snarked.

As if to answer Amahl's words, there is the sound of a sonic boom and from the East, a dark shape can be seen against the horizon.

Only seconds after Amahl has finished speaking, Black Adam lands softly between Amahl and the Birds of Prey, fixing each of them with his imperious stare.

As one, all of the security forces and attending personnel kneel to Black Adam.

"Rise." he commands, almost as an after-thought, as he sizes them up. Then, he points at Helena.

"Take the others to the waiting area, verify their stories. She will speak for them." he says simply.

"I advise all of you not to try escaping. It will end poorly." Black Adam says.

Zinda scowled at them all. "Did our vacation get cursed somewhere? Did we make some bar god mad because we didn't buy that last round before we left? I'm gonna remember these guys when I'm reloading."

Black Adam stops.

The security forces go silent and stare at Helena in shock.

Adam turns around, knowing that this American woman just talked back to him. He looks Helena over once again.

"This one has...courage." Black Adam says, offering Helena a sinister smile.

"Yes, bring her." he says, and turns around again.

The security forces level their weapons at her and nod for her to follow Black Adam.

"Okay. You don't have to be so pushy. You guys /really/ need to work on your manners and hospitality," Helena said as she followed.

"You misunderstand." Black Adam says simply.

"If I were feeling less charitable, your plane would have been shot down long before now. Or I would have come and landed it for you." he says.

"This /is/ us being hospitable to outsiders."
