I am Princess Diana from Themyscira. Demigod of Themyscira and daughter of the Goddess Hippolyta. I joined the Justice League a week ago and I'm already considered family. After I've been exiled from Themyscira for eternity, this is what I'm calling home, a space watch tower that orbits earth. I technically live with my friends/teammates/workmates/partners in crime/roommates/etc. Superman, Hawkgirl, J'onn J'onzz, Flash, Green Lantern, and not so much Batman. Batman doesn't live in the Watch Tower, but instead somewhere on earth.
Though I don't know these people that well, they already feel like family. We've been through so much in this past week, it felt like I've been with them for a year. J'onn is new since he joined the Justice League two weeks ago when his past came back to haunt him. He warned the Justice League at the time that the aliens that were destroying earth were the same ones which destroyed his planet. In the end he saved the earth so Superman "invited" him to join the Justice League. He did since he felt that he had a purpose in this world.
I joined when J'onn accidentally summoned me telepathically when he was trying to send out a signal to Batman. I felt it and it woke me in my sleep in Themyscria. Mother forbid me from leaving, but I couldn't just sit and watch Man's World crumble. I fought along side with the Justice League and they had the heart to let me in.
I always thought that TV was one of Man's World undesired creations, but right now, it has become very close to me. When you're up in space, there's really not much to do. But then again, when is the world not in peril. Superman is busy in Chile helping with an earthquake, GL is working out his differences with the Lanterns, Flash is cleaning up and helping distribute supplies to troops in Afghanistan, J'onn is helping with ever day petty crimes, and Hawkgirl is working on the frustrating computer virus our system has suffered under for the last three days.
We have been trying to contact Batman, but we haven't been able to for several days.
As I channel surf, I feel useless. As far as I'm concerned, I can split a building in two without breaking a sweat. Superman didn't want me moving until tomorrow because my severe battle scars haven't healed yet. My metabolism has slowed ever since I've left Themyscira. Unlike Flash, I can't eat to my heart's desire because my body can't handle human junk. My body heals and feeds itself. Meaning that I don't have to eat. I only eat when I feel like tasting something. Human food doesn't satisfy me like the fruit grown on Themyscira.
"Diana… I can feel your rage from here…" I turn and look at Hawkgirl's wings. Her back is facing me, and her fingers and arms still stretch over the computer's control board tapping away. I sigh and hope that I let out all my stress with it. "Hera give me strength…" There was a moment of silence.
"I guess I feel as though I need to help in some way." Another momentary silence. "Diana, no matter how much I wish you could help me with this raging virus, Superman ordered me to make sure you aren't mobile until tomorrow morning."
I can hear the slight irritation bubbling from her voice. I don't blame her, I'm on edge too. Knowing that the control board is only a few yards away and I can't get there is quite irritating.
I sit there watching the news for a few more minutes when I feel as though I've been stabbed in the gut 1000 times. I scream, which is ear piercing. I haven't screamed in pain or in loss since I was a child.
I feel myself withering. I fall off the chair I was sitting in and hold my stomach. My body shakes hard and I feel Hawkgirl's talons digging into my shoulder blades. I grip her wrist like a lifeline and clutch my stomach. I can hear her yelling through the earpiece for anybody in the Justice League to respond. I feel myself pulling away from consciousness and that's when everything goes black.
