Unfortunately for Finnick, he's not the only one with that idea.
With a whoosh and a plume of red sand thrown into the air behind her, Nita sprints past Wash, dripping and none the worse for wear. She's no speedster, but it's still far faster than a human could manage, and when she tackles a very surprised Finnick, the two of them go flying backwards into a few feet of water, Finnick disappearing entirely as Nita pins him to the bottom. His aquatic strength does him no good when her greater strength comes from the same source.
"You're a disgrace to Atlantis!" She draws back her shark-punching fist for what promises be a telling blow, but her anger changes to surprise as her knuckles connect only with the sandy ocean floor.
