Plans within plans.
Damien Wilson is exhausted from all of his recent tribulations. The plane ride back to Morocco allows him much time to think, as he is not interested in sleep. His mother is alive and his sister is safe. There is little more that Damien can ask for at this point in time.

If he were to ask, though, he would ask that his pregnant wife was with them.
 

How could he make Lian understand that they could be happy together if they just tried? She was afraid to give up her family and friends for love, and they had hurt each other deeply in many ways. If only the Atlantean had stayed dead, Damien believed that Lian, in time, would have come to forgive him for his murder. As it worked out, however, Damien's recent actions were negated by the Black Entity, and the dead were returned to live.

But he still remembered the schematics for his machine. He also knew that Jai West was alive, and how to find him. He could duplicate the effects whenever he wished.

"It is time to establish new forward bases." Damien says without preamble. "I have three locations in mind. We also must diversify our interests, and I believe the casino industry is the way to go. Two of our new bases will be completed in those locations.  However, we are being sought and monitored. Mother, you will contact and get development bids for Las Vegas and Macau. We'll turn a profit in both locations quickly enough.
 

Then, we will establish our new base at the third location, which I have mapped out. I intend to reunite my family in that location, once and for all. Our friends in Star City will need to be dealt with as well. Morgaine, once you are rested, you are going to release someone from prison for me." Damien commands.

He sits back in his chair and relaxes, finally closing his eyes. They remain that way for nearly a minute, while a nagging worry that sat at the edge of Damien's mind rose to the fore.

His eyes open again and he looks at his mother.

"Mother, what resources do we have in the way of magic?" he asks.

Morgaine raised an eyebrow at him. "You had him murdered once," she said. "Would it not be so easy to just do it again?"

"I have considered that, Morgaine, but I cannot imagine that he is not thinking the same thing. His magic allows him a degree of flexibility in his defense. The last time I had him killed, he wasn't expecting it.

I doubt we can get another sniper into Star City at this rate. The Outsiders have gone about trying to drive us out of that city in total...and I think they are getting help from other sources." Damien says.

"The next time the Atlantean dies, my hand /must/ be invisible or Lian will never forgive me. If only I could convince him to die at his own hand..." Damien says.

"We have ways of looking like it was done by his own hand. I believe the phrase is, what Lian doesn't know, won't hurt. We can send someone to spy on the Atlantean. Learn his habits and routines. It would be as easy as breathing for us."

Talia kept silent. Personally, she thought her son should just take his wife back by any means necessary.

"This is a good idea, Morgaine. The Atlantean is not my foremost priority, but he will be a priority soon." Damien says.

"What of Robert Queen, Morgaine? Have you addressed your situation with him?" Damien asks.

The pilot chimes in just then to let them know that they will be landing in twenty minutes.

"I ran into him when we were facing the re-animated dead," she said. "But we got separated in the chaos. The situation will be readdressed once we settle matters with the League."

They actually hadn't gotten separated...but Damien didn't need to know that their parting was a mutual one.

There were other things that happened between them that Damien didn't need to know about, either.

Damien has never known his sister to fail to kill someone she wants dead. Moreover, he's hasn't known her to not to pursue someone who injured her the way Robert Queen has.

Then again, he'd learned that Ra's came after her. Ra's was horrible to Morgaine in their youth; he could see Robert using that as a way to protect his life.

"Very well, Morgaine. You know how you wish to handle this matter. I will leave that to you." Damien says.

He pauses.

"It was mentioned that your father and Grandfather made appearances to you." he says.

Translation: Are you all right?

"I will handle it," she said. "Rest assured."

"Nothing I couldn't handle," she said when he brought up the subject of being attacked by her father and their grandfather.

Translation: I was caught off-guard, but I took care of it.

"Good. I expect to hear a full accounting of this later." Damien says.

Translation: If you need to talk about it, I am here.

"When we land, I want us to have dinner. I have been living on boxed food for some time and while some of it is very good, like Hamburger Helper...a real meal is needed." Damien says.

"I would like it very much if you would join me." he says.

"I will join you for dinner," Morgaine said. "I have also been living on less than edible food."

Talia did not know what was more shocking. That her had lived off of boxed foods, or that he had actually enjoyed it.

Damien almost laughed at his mother's expression. She'd never fed him anything out of a box in his life, not even the little candies that kids find so appealing.

"The two of you have been by my side through everything in my life. I want you both to know that I appreciate that." Damien says.

"You are my son, Damien," she said. "I will always stand at your side."

Morgaine simply nodded.

The pilot announces that the plane is landing and asks them to strap in for descent.
