This isn't normal
He's not quite sure how she managed, but Maria talked Jon into carrying her out to this secluded island she knew of for a day in the sun. She can be sneaky like that.

And, well, that bikini is really something else.

Aside from her usual efforts to make him blush, everything was going pretty smoothly... til the kraken tried to sink the yacht and fishing boats out in the distance. They'd managed to rescue everyone, but there is definitely something weird going on here - and the kraken had sunk back into the ocean before he'd been able to try and deal with it... so still out there somewhere.

	He should be thankful she was wearing a bikini. Maria didn't like tan lines and generally went topless if she didn't go sans swimwear. "Where's Arthur or another member of the Aquafamily when you need them?" she mused. "Now what?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

Yeah, he was pretty sure, having seen her topless before, that she was wearing the bikini for his benefit. At least until she had a prime opportunity to get rid of it to get more blushing. Because its Maria.

"Well, can't have that thing threatening the area. Got to figure out who is behind it... but we might be stuck here for a bit til we figure out if anything else has been messed with or it reappears. Odd how it vanished like that. I should have been able to catch up with it."

	He was adorable when he blushed which was the reason why she went out of her way to make him blush. "I feel like we're in a Syfy original movie here. You go see if you can find out who's behind this and I'll stay here and keep an eye out for giant squid. If he comes back, I'll contact you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He considers that for a moment, then nods, launching up into the air and towards the far side of the island. He's only gone a few moments when some sort of neanderthalish creatures emerge from the woods, flinging spears towards her. Especially odd, since they hadn't made any sound at all in approach.

	"What the hell!?" she yelled and dived out of the way of the spears. Okay, she was never going to complain about those training sessions with Bruce interfering with her social life. They just saved her life. Maria grabbed one of the spears and went in for the attack. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The things are fast and strong, but certainly not as trained. The first one approaching is hit... and disappears in a flash of light. The rest try to surround her, shifting to group tactics to try and get an opening to grab her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yup, this is definitely a Syfy Original movie," she said as she spun and drove the spear into another one. She ducked to avoid getting hit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-29 10:59 pm UTC (link)
	The next one hit disappears in the same flash of light, while the main group try and keep her hemmed in with spears until a couple more emerge from the jungle to try and toss nets over her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This was getting a bit sticky, but she wasn't going to call for help. She could handle this. She stabbed one thing and then threw the spear at one of the things carrying a net. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The creature she lunges at misses with his spear, and disappears when stabbed. The one she hits with the throw also vanishes. The other one with a net tries to throw it over her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Maria hit the sand and rolled out of the way of the net. "Total Syfy Original movie!" she yelled as she came to her feet. She grabbed a spear away from one of the things and used it to stab it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-29 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	The next one disappears as soon as its hit, and the rest fade back into the jungle in retreat. When investigated, there's no sign of them. No weapons, no footprints. Jon reappears not long after. "This place is just getting stranger and stranger." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He smiles at that - which grows a little more wicked as he plunges into the darkness of a cave, then out into a lit chamber after several seconds. His grip shifts from carrying her to getting a firm grip of his own as he carries her towards what looks like a stone altar, complete with a high priestess in a leopard skin bikini carrying a wicked looking knife, flanked by a couple of robed sub-priests.

	"Uh what are you doing?" she asked as they drew closer to the altar. "You do know that I'm not a good candidate for a virgin sacrifice, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2013-01-30 07:42 pm UTC (link)
	He works on getting hold of her wrists to better be able to get her arms in place on the altar for the sub-priests to tie down. "Who needs a virgin? Any heart's blood will do just fine for giving the island's illusions true life. At least long enough to send a copy of you off the island to go and bring more people here."

	"Oh hell no!" Maria yelled and headbutted Jon. Then she tried to break free of his grasp. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Unlike the previous illusions, this one seems an awful lot like the real thing, at least on initial contact, meaning headbutting him is a lot like a collision with a cement wall.

His grip tightens, and he grins cruelly while the other attempt to tie her legs down while 'Jon' is fighting with her hands.

"They managed to collect enough of his blood to make this illusion a little more like the real thing, sorry. The pterodactyls may not hold him forever, but they're still magical constructs... so they can hurt Kryptonians just fine."

	Ow. Okay. Headbutt didn't work. Time to try another thing. She kicked him in the family jewels. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
