Chapter 1: Returning Home
A raven-haired teen in a red costume was at the beach on her home of Themysciria. Her name is Donna, the heroine known as Wonder Girl. After what happened to her with Roy and the revelation of dark secrets, the warrior thought it would be best to return home, and reflect on what has happened in her life. She sighed,
"Well, here I come."
She walked along the sandy beach.
Donna did not go far when she saw a slightly middle aged woman staring out at the ocean, holding a scepter and dressed in what looked to be royal robes. Her name is Queen Hippolyta, ruler of the Amazon nation of Theymisciria, and Donna's mother.
The queen turned and gasped,
"Donna? Is it really you?"
Donna had tears in her eyes as she ran and hugged her mother. Hyppolyta sighed to herself, thinking,
One of my children has returned. I wish Diana were here as well.
She asked,
"My child, why have you returned? Has something happened?"
Wonder Girl nodded,
"Yes. Could we go inside and talk? It is rather personal."
In the palace, Hyppolyta sat on the throne. Her honor guard was outside, and the two were alone. The queen asked,
"Donna, what has happened?"
Donna explained,
"I met a man in Man's world. He was sweet and nice, but I found out he had a very dark past, and…we parted. I do not know where he is now, but I have come to think about everything that has happened."
Hyppolyta nodded,
"Did you love this man?"
The Amazon teen shook her head,
"I do not know. I think so, but I am so angry and hurt by what has happened that I don't know what to do."
Hyppolyta smiled,
"You are an intelligent woman, Donna, a gift given to you by the gods. You will know what to do when you need to. For now, rest. During the evening meal, I want to hear all of your adventures in Man's World. The oracle showed me much."
She tilted her head,
"Especially that feline I heard about."
Donna nodded in understanding,
"Persiana."
Hyppolyta shook her head,
"Yes. Tell me, what do you see in her, my daughter?"
Donna blushed hotly,
"Well, she is a fantastic warrior…and she is extremely flexible."
The queen groaned,
"Donna."
Wonder Girl shrugged,
"What? I have never met a woman like that before."
Hyppolyta sighed,
"I sometimes wonder where I went wrong."
Donna was stunned,
"Mother, Farrah is still a good friend. It is just…Gods, she is just so provocative and…"
The younger Amazon princess could not find the exact words to describe what she was feeling, but it was noticed as she had a dreamy smile on her face.
Hyppolyta held her head in her hands and said to herself,
I am going to need a lot of wine tonight to get through this.
Later…
As the warrior princess was changing into her toga, there was a knock at the door. Donna turned and was surprised,
"Selene?"
A beautiful brunette with long, silky hair walked in. She was dressed in a white toga, and had a sword on her hip. Her hair was in a ponytail, adorned with an ornate gold flower.
Selene smiled,
"Hello, sister. Did you miss me?"
She approached and kissed a still stunned Donna on the lips. Wonder Girl sighed happily,
"You are still the same, shameless woman when I left."
Selene came from behind and wrapped her arms around Donna's waist, whispering,
"And you are still the same, conscientious little mouse when you did."
Wonder Girl growled and flipped her friend over, pinning her to the floor. The brunette Amazon grinned,
"You have learned a lot while you were away. I'm impressed. Tell me, does this bring back memories?"
Donna shook her head,
"Believe me, Selene. I have not forgotten what we had all those years ago. Right now, I am conflicted."
She got off her friend, much to Selene's disappointment. The two sat down on the bed and talked.
Selene grinned,
"So, who's the lucky lady?"
Donna shook her head,
"First of all, what makes you think it is a woman? Second, I am trying to sort out some affairs, and would appreciate it if you let me explain what was happening."
The brunette swordswoman mockingly teased,
"Ooh, big, bad Donna's getting mad. Better not get her mad, or she'll tie you up."
Her friend giggled, but then stopped when Donna explained,
"I was…involved with a man in Man's World, but he had kept some dark secrets about his past that I had no idea about. I felt betrayed and angry, so I left."
Selene scoffed,
"Men are all the same."
Donna shook her head,
"Not him. Believe me when I tell you, he was as genuinely hurt as I was. He has to take care of his child without that child's mother, and I cannot imagine the burden he is carrying right now."
The brunette Amazon shrugged,
"I still say it was good you left him."
She then grinned,
"Anybody else you had an eye on for a while? Any attractive women?"
Wonder Girl then smiled dreamily,
"One, and I have had many a dream about her. You should see her, my sister; her skills as a warrior are only as good as her knowledge and wisdom. Farrah-."
Selene could not help but grin,
"So, that is the young woman's name who has stolen your heart."
Donna looked up, surprised,
"You have seen her?"
Selene nodded,
"The oracle showed me. I must admit, I have never seen such an agile creature in my life! I wish I was as nimble as she is."
Wonder Girl nodded in agreement,
"Farrah dances in battle, showing only aggression when she needs to. Her mere presence on the battle field is like that of her form, the lion."
Selene whispered in Donna's ear,
"She is extraordinarily flexible. I'm surprised you haven't bonded with her yet."
Donna sighed,
"She is not into women in that sense. She has a man."
Selene rolled her eyes,
"That demon."
Donna shrugged,
"Diablos may have red eyes, but I would hardly call him a demon. I do not know why, but I instinctively trust him."
Selene shook her head,
"Whatever, sister. Personally, you have better luck trying to get that Farrah woman."
She grinned coyly,
"So, when can I meet her?"
Donna looked at her friend,
"You are completely shameless, you know that?"
She laughed,
"I will see. Right now, I must get ready for tonight. I want to regale you with tales of Man's World. Some of it you will find unbelievable."
Next Chapter:
Donna explains of the marvels of Man's World, and stuns the Amazons with meetings of several gods.
