A/N: Yes, I am aware that Diana only had two scenes with this Leslie O'Neill character, but, what can I say, I have an active imagination, and, even watching it more than once, there was just this nugget of Subtext between the two of them (and even how Diana approached Jamie, almost second mother-like) that I just couldn't resist.

oOOOOo

"I just don't understand how you can like… those things Diana."

Diana smiled, "Well, I did grow up near quite a lot of water." She pushed aside her paper plate and sat back, draping her arm across Leslie O'Neill's shoulders, "You've done such a great job with Jamie-"

Leslie sighed, "Sometimes it's hard, she can be impulsive, but she has a good heart, and three times out of five she'll actually listen to me."

Diana chuckled, "I think that's a universal truth."

Both women were silent as they watched Kevin and Jamie tearing around on their skateboards.

"You know Di- the skateboarding is directly your fault."

Diana put a hand to her chest, "Moi?"

"Yes you- she was scared of it and wanted to be as fearless as her Aunt Diana."

That put a crease in Diana's forehead, "I didn't know."

Leslie patted the hand that still sat on her shoulder, "You're her idol Di, and she doesn't even know… you know…" Leslie paused, "Will you be staying?"

Diana turned a bit, "Of course, I have a week of my vacation left." It was Diana's turn to pause, "Unless you don't want me to stay, after what's happened."

Leslie looked away and moved a bit down the bench from Diana. Diana's arm dropped, "Of course I want you to stay Di. I want you to stay for the rest of our lives even- but, I know that won't happen because you're scared."

"Leslie."

Leslie shook her head and stood cutting Diana off, "I should get Kevin home-" She turned and faced Diana. She nodded to herself, "Then dinner- you can say goodbye to Jamie- make your excuses. The IADC something is your usual excuse, so that would work." Leslie pinned Diana with a look, then looked down and sighed, "I thought…"

Diana took a step towards Leslie and Leslie took a step back. "Leslie, I'm sorry-"

Leslie nodded, "You don't want to hurt me, or Jamie- you've said that before. Your jobs are dangerous-" Leslie glanced around, "and that it wouldn't be fair to us… getting old while you stay young." She shook her head, "I think it has more to do with Steve Trevor Junior."

"Steve- Leslie, he…" She sighed, "I loved his father with all my heart, but Steve Jr., he's a skirt chaser to the nth degree. We're friends, nothing more, you couldn't think…"

Leslie took a step into Diana's personal space, "What am I supposed to think? A vacation maybe once a year, weekends here and there when your IADC work brings you to this coast." She crossed her arms over her chest, "Tonight Di… Diana we'll have dinner, and then-" Leslie cleared her throat, "Please. Don't come back."

oOOOOo

"Diana, what are you doing here?"

Diana gave her sister Drusilla a hug, "I- I needed to see Paradise Island. I haven't been back since…"

Drusilla sighed, "Since mother died last year." After a moment her face lit up again and she whacked her sister on the shoulder, "Come, everyone will want to see you." Diana didn't move, "Or not… what's wrong sister?"

Diana sat on a rock and stared out at the ocean. "It's a long story."

Drusilla chuckled and sat next to her sister, "Then it's good that time moves a bit slower here on Paradise Island. Start at the beginning."

"It was her first day at the IADC."

Drusilla blew out a breath, "Finally."

"Excuse me?"

Drusilla gave Diana another whack on the back, "We live on an island full of women Diana. Most of whom do in fact love other women. Mother did, she loved Philippus with all her heart. She was our mother just as much as Hippolyta was. And I-" Drusilla smiled softly, "I'd like you to meet someone, once we get done figuring out your problem of course, she's…" Drusilla blushed, "Very special to me."

"Of course sister," Diana smiled, "and I see that soon you'll have a heir as well. Did Artemis bless you with child, or did you find a.. suitable donor?"

Drusilla blushed again, "Artemis blessed us, and my love, Aello, not like the first one who died years ago, but that was who she was named after. Ah, she, Aello,… she wanted to name the child, name her after you Diana."

Diana shook her head emphatically, "No, no, name her after mother, or even better, name her Phillipa, after Philippus, she'll get a kick out of that I'd say. It looks as though you still have some time to decide, don't make a decision you'll regret."

Drusilla laughed, "You're probably right, I think we'll think on it more. And, a very nice try, changing the subject, but it won't work."

Diana sighed, "You know that I believe love is love is love."

"...and you loved Steve Trevor Sr., trust me, after those 35 years we all knew that Diana, but, tell me about this woman."

Diana smiled sadly, "As I said, I met her on her first day at the IADC, she was a Supervisor in Personnel. And there was just something about her. She reminded me so much of our Amazon sisters, strong on the inside. She was a widow with a young child, Jamie. Little Jamie was so precocious, so brilliant and funny, and I…" Diana shook her head, "I asked her, Leslie, out, and she said yes. And we were happy. But, the IADC isn't for everyone and she wanted to move out west, to California, and she wanted me to go with them. To a town called Corona." Diana sighed, " I couldn't."

Drusilla put an arm around her older sister, "You broke up?"

"Not-" Diana grimaced, "Not entirely. For the past few years we've been… I see her, them, when I can, but-"

Diana watched as a look of understanding came to Drusilla's face. Diana marveled at how much Drusilla had grown into an adult since their mother had died. And not just into an adult, but how much she had grown into her position as Queen of the Amazons. Drusilla spoke, "She broke with you… yesterday or so?"

"Yes."

Drusilla gave Diana a squeeze, "I'm sorry Diana. I guess you have a choice to make. Do you fight for her, fight to be with her, them, or do you spend another lifetime yoked to a Trevor trying to save a world that may be unsaveable." Drusilla paused, "If it helps. As Queen of the Amazons I absolve you of your duty in the world of Man. You no longer must carry the banner of Wonder Woman if you don't wish to."

"I- ah, that's not really the issue. I told her."

"Oh, you did, and she still wanted to be with you?" Diana nodded and Drusilla kissed the side of Diana's head before standing, "Diana. Think about that for awhile. Her reaction to you, all of you, that should tell you something." Drusilla's infectious smile was back, "So, I'm going to let you brood for just a little longer, but then we're expecting you up in the city, we're going to have a party to celebrate your return, my sister."

Diana regarded Drusilla with just a small smile, "Drusilla, the Amazons would have a party just because the sun came up."

Drusilla smirked, "And what a party it would be."
