AN: This first chapter is pretty short and I'm sorry if it feels rushed. I hope that you enjoy and that it sparks your interest into what could happen next. Thank you for giving this story a chance. It's actually a newer take on my story Recovery. Again, thank you.
Resurfacing
Prologue
The gods could do pretty impressive things and Steve Trevor had come to know this very well. He knew that as much good the pantheon did, the bad and pain it caused as well. What had recently happened didn't even make sense and Steve didn't know how to handle it. The war had recently ended and then a war between the gods had happened again but this time, it had gotten out of control.
Diana wasn't a god. Yes, there was the debate that because the gods had brought her to life from clay, that she was seen as someone with more godlike powers but right now she was the elemental equivalent of ashes. Her soul had been ripped out of her body which now lay limply in the glass.
Her soul had then been pulled apart and broken into what Paula had captured in a vial looking like glitter. Apparently there was a way to get her soul back into her body and Steve wanted to do whatever he could to bring her back to them.
"We can't do it here," Paula said before looking at Etta who was glancing at her confused. "In the future there will be more stability in the air and therefore she'll be able to lock into her body. It's the time difference that will do it. Her soul will gain more power in the future.
"You're not saying that we won't have a chance of seeing our Diana again," Etta asked as she had tears in her eyes. "Not so good, not something I want to support."
"I've double checked my data and all the records are saying the same thing. She will only be able to get stability in seventy five years, it's important that somebody take her body with her to the future," Paula said and Steve raised his head. He stared at her confused. Would it really take that long? After so many years they would all be dead and none of them would be able to greet Diana if she were able to come back.
When he had learned her identity and fallen in love with her, becoming her boyfriend and then fiancé, he had promised to protect her. He didn't want to just abandon her and that much time meant that she would be completely alone. "I'll take her," he told them and Etta and Paula looked between themselves.
"I think it might be best to contact the goddess Diana or even the wise Athena," Paula said but Steve knew within his heart that he wanted to be with Diana. Even if it was a strange world that he knew nothing about, he would pull through it for the chance to be with her.
"I know that I'm capable of it," Steve said as he walked towards them, "Where is the machine?" he asked and Paula nodded.
"Very well, there are a few other items that you'd need for your travel," she commented and Steve took a deep breath in, he felt nervous and knew without anyone having to tell him that this would definitely be a very interesting adventure.
