Prologue
Wonder Woman is in the hospital wing of the Justice League watchtower holding a young infant swaddled in a blue blanket, the baby smiles at her she smile back but worriedly at the new life in her arms, just then Superman enters the room.
Superman: "Hey Diana, how's our little guy?"
Wonder Woman: "Sleeping soundly."
Superman: "Did you name him yet?"
Wonder Woman: "Georgios, Georgios Kent-Prince."
Superman: "That's a nice name, I was wondering Diana have you changed your mind about giving him up?"
Wonder Woman: "I don't like it anymore than you do Clark, but it'll keep him safe not even you can stop Ares."
Superman: "But, how will he find out who he really is."
Wonder Woman: "Your father found a way to help you, I know you'll think of something besides he won't be alone he'll be in Metropolis with his cousin Kara and I have been given some help."
Superman: "Who?"
Wonder Woman: "The goddess Athena, she has agreed to watch over him and Kara in Metropolis she'll pose a librarian at the local library, she even forged these pendants for him."
On a metal chain there were to two pendants, the first was the logo from Superman's suit the second pendant resembled a Greek shield.
Wonder Woman: "That way he'll have something to know use by."
Superman: "Is it OK if I have a moment with him before I do him off?"
Wonder Woman: "I don't see any harm in that."
As the man and child leave Wonder Woman starts to break down is then seen in the hall holding his newborn son, until Supergirl sees him.
Supergirl: "Hey Kal-El, is this our new Kryptonian?"
Superman: "Yeah, here he is ready to see his older cousin Kara."
He then hands the child to his cousin for safekeeping, Supergirl then takes him and starts playing with him.
Supergirl: "Hey little guy, I got a nice little room set up for you."

Chapter 1
Fourteen years later
Man, I love Saturdays time to sleep in until I feel someone jostling me on the shoulder.
"Hey, Georgios I need you to wake up."
I recognized that voice anywhere it was my cousin Kara, I could never say no to her she had been so good to me ever since she took me in as an infant, I woke up greeting her.
"Good morning Kara, how're you doing today."
"Good, it'd be great if you get out of bed and change though."
Oh I'm sorry where are my manners? Hello, my name is Georgios Kent-Prince, in fourteen years old and I live in a former youth hostel turned apartment in Metropolis with my cousin Kara Zor-El, my interests are Greek mythology, electronics, video games, reading, sports, and drawing. I never knew my real parents but Kara told me they didn't leave me with her because they didn't want me, they wanted me to be safe, I believe that story I mean if my folks didn't want me what stopped them to just leave me in a gutter? There is something you should know about me, I'm not normal I have powers I have heat vision, freeze breath, super strength, super heightened state, I'm invulnerable and I can fly I know I got these powers from my father but I would love to hear about my mother. The two people I can confide to are Kara and the librarian at my local library Athene Peteras I visit her at the library every weekend she always has good books about Greek mythology, there is something about Miss Peteras something I can't put my finger on though. Little did I know that my life would change on this day, it started out straight forward like every other day I got out of bed change into a pair of jeans, a Metropolis Gladiators jersey my favorite NFL team and put on my pendants one is the symbol of my family at least that's what Kara told me and one one looked like a shield a Greek hero would use. I then went downstairs to where Kara was. She was sitting in the kitchen with a box of pastries she was enjoying one herself and then she saw me and asked me in a more calmer manner.
"How are you feeling today?"
"Not too bad Kara."
"Supergirl helped stop a robbery of a local bakery last night and they gave her a box of danishes as a thank you, would you like one?"
"Sure thing, they look good."
I took one of the pastries, it was a flaky and it was sweet and I poured myself some fruit juice like always, Kara and I then preceded to talk like every morning.
"So, what's on agenda for today?"
"The library, Miss Athene said she has a new book for me."
"As long as you don't turn into a buzzkill like when we were watching Jason and the golden fleece the other night."
"Well, Hollywood needs to stop over editing everything. It was right in the book Jason was a jackass, an antihero, jeez he even tricked Medea so bad she sacrificed their only soon to get back at him."
"Whatever, just don't be a buzzkill about it."
"Whatever, see ya later."
I walked down two blocks to the local Metropolis library to see Athene shelving some books, her back turned to me she greets me without turning around.
"Hello, young Georgios."
"How can you tell it was me?"
"You forget, I know everything."
She returned to her desk, and I asked her.
"So, what do you have for me Miss Peteras?"
"Oh please, you can call me Athene."
"Sorry I forgot, what's on tap for today Athene?"
"Well, I found a book on the mighty amazon warriors of Themyscira."
"Huh, I've read about the amazon warriors before, it looks like it could be good."
I handed her my card to check out the book and left the building book in tow, as I made it back my apartment there was a from Kara on the fridge.
Went out as Supergirl, be back in a little while there's a plate of leftovers in the fridge if you're hungry.
-Kara
I looked into the fridge to see a plate of meatloaf and assorted vegetables well it doesn't look too bad, I put the plate in the microwave and nuked it for a couple of minutes. While my lunch was heating up I opened the book the first chapter was about the amazon queen Hippolyta the same old same old like I already know,I knew about Heracles' trial to take the girdle from her and her army of female warriors. However what really caught my attention was the next chapter titled Diana of Themyscira what caught my eye was the picture, it was one of those glossy colored pictures you see in an occasional chapter book. I'll never forget what I saw in that picture those woman's eyes I've seen those eyes everyday in the mirror, they were they same shape and same shade of blue as mine, it just shook me to my core, just then the microwave started to beep letting me know my meal was ready I put down the book and ate my meal quickly. Just then I heard a rumbling around my apartment, my pendant also had a divine glow to them like never before and like a bat out of hell the most monstrous thing crashes through the wall. It freakishly tall and had gray skin, white hair, bony protrusions and red eyes, I've read about this monster they call him Doomsday. With one strike to the side of the head I was bleeding, I couldn't believe it I've never been injured before oh man, the blood was stinging my eye.I hid under my desk but the basturd found me and he would of killed me too if we weren't transported to an island, wait a second this is the island Themyscira from the book it's almost like a dream. Just as Doomsday lunged at me a hand came and grabbed him stopping him, just then a giant woman looked at me she is sporting a black minidress, short hair and the same blue eyes as me and the woman from the book, she then precedes to bound me and picks me up and talks to me,I don't get it why can't I move?
"My, my aren't you a little fire cracker but what else should I expect from the child of Wonder Woman."
What did she just say? Before I could respond, I heard a familiar voice.
"Strife! Put him down!"
It was the librarian Athene but what's she doing here and why was she wearing armor? I was put down back on the ground by the woman now known as Strife but before she left she said something chilling.
"Oh well, I'll see you soon nephew and that's a guarantee, there's someone who could benefit from you."
I then saw a presence standing over me as i struggled to break the bonds and I recognized her right away, it the woman from the book Diana of Themyscira, she didn't hesitate to talk to me.
"Are you OK?"
"Yeah, I'll live."
And without any struggle she ripped off the bonds and freed me, I then approached Athene asking.
"Athene, what's going on? Why do you have armor on?"
"Actually Georgios,I haven't been entirely honest with you."
"What?"
"My name isn't Athene Peteras, it's Athena."
"Wait Athena, as in goddess of knowledge and the arts Athena?"
"Yes, that is correct."
She grabs my pendants and starts talking
"I even forged you these pendants from my own armor, a gift for my nephew if you will."
I couldn't believe it, I'm related to the gods and goddesses that took my imagination as a young child. Athene oops, my bad Athena started talking again.
"There is also someone who would love to meet you."
Just then the woman comes by me, she's fairly tall and looks kinda like me, she speaks to me in a motherly tone.
"My goodness Georgios, you've grown on me."
I was confused but she continued.
"Do you know who I am?"
"Wonder woman aka princess Diana of Themyscira the daughter of amazon queen-"
She giggles a little.
"Yes, I'm all that, but I'm something more important than all of that."
"What's that?"
She hugs me with her Olympian strength and answers my question.
"I'm your mother."
End of chapter 1
Chapter 2
My Mother, Wonder Woman is my mother? I can't believe it,I started to talk to her.
"Wow, I can't believe it the amazon princess is my mother."
"Yes, I can't believe you've come back to me!"
"So, where is grandmother? I mean isn't this island supposed to be teeming with warriors?"
Her smile fades
"Actually I have something to show you."
We made it through the jungle, until we reached a coliseum and the didn't was heart wrenching. I saw scattered armor and weapons along with what looked like an army of snakes slithering around the place and in the middle was a statute, a woman frozen in an embrace.
"Is that?"
"Yes, this is all that's left of the Amazonian race and the statue is your grandmother Hippolyta."
I paid my respects to the grandmother I never met and we both made it back on to the sandy beach and Athena spoke to us.
"Where do I send you two?"
I answered.
"I don't know, Doomsday basically destroyed my apartment."
My mother Diana then spoke up.
"Well, I have a place in England you can stay there, Athena can you transport us there?"
"Anything for our champions, and Georgios never forget I'll always keep contact be with you no matter where you go."
With those words, we were transported to my mother's place in London it wasn't too fancy but you could see Big Ben, mom then came back with a pillow and some blankets.
"I'm sorry, I have guests in this house so you'll have to sleep on the couch."
"The couch doesn't look too bad,I think I could crash here."
The phone rang and she left to answer it, then my phone went off and I already know who it is.
"Hey Kara."
"What, the hell happened to the apartment?!"
"Doomsday happened."
"Are you OK?"
"Yeah, but you'll never guess where I am."
"Where?"
"In London England, with mother."
"Really?! How is she?"
"As pleasant as those stories you told me when I was a little kid."
"Glad you feel that way, I'll see soon OK?"
"Sounds great."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Just then mom came and for to wait on the balcony, and like a god himself Superman came flying down on the balcony right in front of me. He then looked at me with the same look mom did when she first saw me.
"Georgios, my son! Look at how big you've gotten, Kara has taken good care of you."
"Wow, dad I have so many questions for you and mom."
Mom was standing there listening and she then spoke up.
"Alright you two let's get into the kitchen, I'm sure Georgios would like to hear the reason why we had to give him up."
I couldn't believe,I woke up Georgios Kent-Prince the cousin of Supergirl, but now I'm Georgios Kent-Prince the son of Wonder Woman and Superman, it's neat how my life changed in a day.
To be continued...
