"Gentlemen. You know me to be neither rash nor impulsive. I'm not given to wild, unsupported statements. And I tell you that if you do not help us, you will be forced to evacuate this kingdom!"
Doctor Strange stood in the dome-shaped room of the council chambers of Atlantis. A simple spell allowed him to breathe and speak underwater with the Atlanteans. Prince Namor (or was it king now?) silently looked on, an ever-present scowl on his face.
"We served with the Defenders well, Namor. You know that I would only come here and ask you for your help today if the threat was very real."
With scowling, the prince spoke. "I don't agree with the Act. I voiced my opinion at our last meeting. I would never oppress MY people like that. And for that..." He motioned towards the barracks of the kingdom. "...you have Atlantis's support. Troops, weaponry - if you require it, Strange, you'll have it. But I warn you now, magician, that if your words are untrue, there will be hell to pay."
Stephen nodded and shook hands with the prince before heading back towards the surface. A telepathic rapport was made with Captain America. ~We have the support of three-fourths of the world, Steve - Namor pledged us anything we need from Atlantis.~
