DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything related to Superman or wonder woman, however I am the owner of a kia Sorento.
Summary:What if Superman and Wonder Woman met in a different way? A near tragedy leads two heroes to meet for the first time.
CH: 1. The Plot.
START:
In a secluded island off the coast of Italy; an evil plot is brewing. On the island of Levanzo lays a dark castle seemingly ancient and malignant. The castle fittingly named "Demons Den" has been a mysterious staple of the island for centuries. The people of Levanzo seemingly sense the dark aura of the castle and wisely stay away. Wretched moans vicious roars permeate into the otherwise quiet and peaceful night. This has led to folk tales about the castle being haunted by evil spirits bent on causing destruction; this is not too far from the truth.
Unknown to the people of Levanzo the castle is the lair of the immortal witch Circe and her band of half-man half beast-slaves.

Levanzo, Italy
On a particularly dark night in Levanzo the inside of the Demons Den is flurry of activity. Inside the castle lays an ornate throne room adorned wall to wall with purple and gold. In the center of the room lays a solid gold throne. Sitting on the throne is a woman who can only be described as devastatingly beautiful. She has long curled orchid colored hair with a golden circlet upon her head. She has stunning cyan eyes that hold nothing but hatred, and madness within them. She wore an ornate emerald Grecian robe that tightly clings to her slender yet shapely body.
While the woman was undoubtedly beautiful the company she kept could only be described as grotesque. The room was filled with creatures that looked as if they came straight from a horror film. Kneeling before the throne was a small army of human-animal hybrids. They were all towering, walls of muscled. The animal kingdom was well represented with some being half jackal, pig, snake, shark and even half praying-mantis.
There was one man-beast that wasn't kneeling; a massive human-lion hybrid. While the rest of beasts were seemingly more feral, the lion-man hybrid had a gleam of human intelligence within his amber cat like eyes. He addressed the woman sitting upon the throne.
With a deep rumble he said, "Mistress Circe we bring interesting news from Man's world". The woman with a haughty look upon her face responded with "Let's see how interesting it really is, you may go on Leonidas".
Leonidas knowing that his mistress lacked patience decided to report as briefly as possible "In the city of Metropolis there is a new champion, who has the powers of a god the people of man's world call him Superman."
After a moment of contemplation an evil grin appeared on Circe's beautiful face she responded with "Super or not men are easy to control if he is as strong as you say he will make a great pawn in my plan to get revenge on that bitch Hippolyta".
AND SCENE
Authors note I'm pretty new to this and I'm not a writer by trade but I'm going to give this a shot. Since this is my first story I'm probably going to be terrible at it. Advice is appreciated and if a more talented writer wants to take over this story I'd be happy with that too.
