Calling All Wonders Issue 1: She's Beauty And She's Grace
When Zeus and the other gods of Olympus created the Barbarians for Hercules, Athena was skeptical to believe that her brother would not use his new powerful army of men to seek revenge on the Amazons. The gods had Hephaestus forge a second All Seeing Mirror so that Hercules could shield his new island Ouranos from the outside world. Athena paid a visit to Hippolyta on Themyscria and warned the amazonian queen about her concerns with Hercules. Athena granted Hippolyta's Mirror Of Hephaestus the ability to spy on Ouranos so that the queen could monitor the Barbarians. For a time Hercules and his men seemed to live a peaceful lifestyle, until Hippolyta saw the demigod scheming with a long time enemy of the amazons, the sorceress Circe. She planned on using her magic to transport Hercules and the Barbarians to Themyscria for a surprise attack so that she and Hercules could exact their long awaited revenge on the amazons.
With this information Queen Hippolyta began putting the amazons through intense training in order to prepare for the Barbarians invasion. On the day Hercules planned to attack paradise island Hippolyta contacted her daughter Wonder Woman and informed her of Hercules intentions. She ordered Wonder Woman to find her sister as well as her apprentices to come defend Themyscria alongside the Amazons.
Wonder Woman found her sister Donna Troy with the Seven Miraculous Women in Washington DC. After bringing Donna up to speed about the events happening on Themyscria, she eagerly joined her sister and the two traveled together to San Francisco in order to collect Wonder Girl and Wonderboy from the Teen Titans.
~Titans Tower~
The Marauder passed by Wonderboy's room and heard a loud crash. After a few moments more crashes echoed through the tower. Confused the Marauder knocked on Wonderboy's door to make sure his friend was okay, but no one responded.
(Marauder) Titus... are you alright in there?
The Marauder patiently waited for a response but still he received none. Before he decided to just teleport inside to check on his friend, he was stalled by Wonderboy screaming in rage.
(Wonderboy) BEAST BOY!
Wonderboy's door burst open. The Marauder stepped out of Wonderboy's path as he stormed out of his room and into the living room. The Marauder quickly followed his friend to find out what Beast Boy had done to piss Wonderboy off.
(Wonderboy) Beast Boy I know your hiding behind the couch! I can hear you giggling.
Beast Boy slowly popped up from his hiding place, half way turned away from Wonderboy's direction.
(Beast Boy) Dude! What's got you so angry?
Beast Boy was clearly doing his best to hold back his laughter, but he wasn't doing a very good job.
(Wonderboy) I am about three seconds away from drop kicking you back to Africa! Where did you hide my cigarettes you annoying little imp?
Wonderboy felt an odd breeze whisk across his body but paid it no mind. He was to furious that Beast Boy kept hiding his cigarettes.
(Beast Boy) What are you talking about man. I haven't touched your smokes.
(Wonderboy) Really? You haven't touched my smokes, huh? Then why did I find these strands of green fur on my floor? Last time I checked I didn't have green hair and they've been "mysteriously vanishing" for the last week!
(Beast Boy) Are you sure you checked everywhere?
(Wonderboy) Yes I'm sure!
(Beast Boy) Did you check your pants pocket?
Wonderboy was certain his cigarettes weren't in his pocket. It was the first place he looked but he decided to humor Beast Boy. Without looking Wonderboy reached into his pocket and was stunned to feel a small square box that couldn't possibly be anything other then his cigarettes.
(Wonderboy) How the hell did you do that? There's no way I wouldn't have noticed them in my pocket this entire time!
(Beast Boy) I think your starting to lose it Wonderboy.
(Wonderboy) This is not me losing it!
Wonderboy flew in front of the couch and used his strength lift it as far as his body could extend. Beast Boy skittishly tripped over his own feet and fell to the ground in a panic.
(Beast Boy) Dude calm down! Your acting crazy.
(Wonderboy) DON'T CALL ME CRAZY!
Just before Wonderboy flattened Beast Boy with the couch, the Marauder appeared in a plume of black smoke with a cigarette hanging from his lips. Before speaking the Marauder casually removed his cigarette from his mouth.
(Marauder) Forget about him Titus. Lets go up to the balcony.
Wonderboy began hyperventilating until he felt he was calm enough to gently put the Titans couch down. The Marauder and Wonderboy stared Beast Boy down as they passed him to open the glass door.
(Marauder) You should watch who you prank Beast Boy. Next time I might not be around.
Beast Boy snickered as the two friends jumped out the window and flew onto the balcony atop of Titans Tower. The Marauder rested his arm on his knee as he lit his cigarette. Wonderboy crossed his legs and pulled out his cigarettes as well. He was positive they were not in his pocket through this whole ordeal. It was difficult for Wonderboy not to smash the box out of spite but he knew he would just wind up regretting that decision in the end.
(Wonderboy) Beast Boy thinks he's so... f***ing... funny. I will admit that I'm not sure how he pulled off this little trick, but I know I'm not crazy. He's lucky I just didn't pull the information from his head.
(Marauder) He was working with Kid Flash. I saw him run through the room while you were yelling at Beast Boy, and place your cigarettes back in your pocket.
Wonderboy took an angry deep drag from his cigarette.
(Wonderboy) Ugh, I can't stand those two immature little brats. When we go back inside, they are in for it!
The Marauder chuckled softly. Wonderboy turned to face his friend and saw how intently the Marauder was examining something in the distance.
(Wonderboy) Was is it, Revan?
(Marauder) Your mentor, the one you told me about... Wonder Woman. She wears your insignia in gold across her chest right?
Wonderboy took another drag from his cigarette before answering.
(Wonderboy) Mhm. Why?
(Marauder) She's flying this direction pretty quickly with another woman who looks almost identical to her in a black and silver outfit scattered with silver stars.
Wonderboy's eyes burst open in shock.
(Wonderboy) Wonder Woman and Donna Troy are on their way here... right now?
Immediately Wonderboy put out his cigarette and threw it over the ledge. The Marauder proceeded to do the same with his.
(Wonderboy) How long until they get here?
(Marauder) At the speed they're moving, I'd say less then a minute.
(Wonderboy) Oh crap! Does it smell like smoke? Do you think she'll know?
The Marauder sniffed the area for a quick moment.
(Marauder) I think you'll be okay.
Seconds later Wonderboy could see the gold on Wonder Woman's armor glimmering in the suns rays, as well as the sparkles from Donna's costume as they gracefully swooped in from the clear blue sky.
(Wonder Woman) Hello Titus. It's been awhile hasn't it?
Wonderboy eagerly embraced his mentor.
(Wonderboy) Diana! It's so good to see you.
Donna stepped up next to her sister with a bright smile.
(Wonder Woman) Ah, I don't believe you two have met yet. Titus, this is my sister...
(Wonderboy) Donna... Troy, you were the very first Wonder Girl, your a legend. This is such an honor, I can't believe I'm finally meeting you.
(Donna) Your even sweeter then my sisters told me.
Donna greeted Wonderboy with a giant hug.
(Wonderboy) This is my friend Revan, the Marauder. He's a fellow Titan here at the tower.
Wonder Woman and Donna shook hands with the Marauder.
(Wonder Woman) A pleasure to make your acquaintance Revan.
(Marauder) Like wise princess Diana.
(Wonder Woman) Donna would you please retrieve Cassie while I update Titus on our situation.
Donna nodded then quickly ventured inside Titans Tower. Wonder Woman suddenly became very serious as she directed her attention back to Wonderboy.
(Wonderboy) What's wrong Diana?
(Wonder Woman) My mother has caught wind that Hercules and his Barbarians have planned on invading Themyscria. He's joined forces with the sorceress Circe.
(Wonderboy) Hercules has Barbarians? What are they like, the male amazons?
(Wonder Woman) In a sense, yes. We need you to join us when we protect Themyscria.
(Wonderboy) Of course, Diana.
Donna soon could be heard with Cassie trailing in from behind.
(Marauder) I should accompany you as well Titus. It sounds like the Amazons could use the extra help.
(Wonder Woman) I'm afraid that isn't a possibility. This is a family matter, and men with the exception of a few are forbidden to step foot on Themyscria.
(Marauder) Does something like that really matter at a time of war.
Before the argument could escalate any further, Wonderboy interrupted the two.
(Wonderboy) Revan it's all right. The amazons are kind of strict about these kind of things, but don't worry I'll be safe. Wonder Woman will be with me.
The Marauder chuckled, and Wonderboy cheerfully smiled.
(Wonder Woman) Titus, we must be getting on our way.
Titus wrapped his arms around the Marauders neck and gave him a warm hug before joining Wonder Woman and the other Wonder's.
(Wonderboy) I'll see you later Revan.
(Marauder) Goodbye, Titus.
After Wonderboy said farewell to his friend he took off on his mission to Themyscria alongside his Wonder family to protect their paradise island.
