Diana, Princess of Themiscara and better known to the world as Wonder Woman, walked down to her quarters on the Watchtower, wanting nothing more than to sleep. She had been awake nonstop for five days straight hunting down what was left of Lex Luthor's newest Injustice League and they had just managed to put the Cheetah and Bizarro back in jail, although she had no doubt that they would be out before too long.
"Hello Diana" a voice from inside the room said when she opened the door, and she found herself face to face with her least favorite God, her father Hades.
"What in Hera's name do you want Hades?" she snarled, her hand going to the lasso at her side; she didn't trust Hades, and she wasn't about to be caught unaware if he attempted to attack her.
"Easy child, I'm just the messenger" Hades said, holding his palms up in a peaceful gesture.
"Hermes is messenger of the Gods, you'll have to try again" Diana replied, shifting into the battle-ready stance that her mother had taught her years earlier.
"I offered to deliver the message child and Hermes graciously allowed me too" Hades replied, the way the words slipped off his tongue reminding her of a snake when it hisses.
Diana scoffed, but stood silent, deciding she may as well here what Hades had to say. Hades took her silence as an indication to proceed and began to speak.
"Child, the Gods have decided that you must pass a test to keep your powers since you stole the armor you now wear" he said, indicating the armor Diana was wearing that she had indeed stolen from Athena's temple when she left the island.
"What kind of test?" she snarled, envisioning anything from facing an army of the damned to doing battle with Athena herself.
"Not a physical test, but a trial of the heart" Hades replied, and he snapped his fingers causing Diana to black out. When she woke up Hades was gone and she quickly realized that she was no longer aboard Watchtower. Instead she found herself standing on a rooftop overlooking a city that reminded her vaguely of Gotham. However, before she could ponder where she was any further, she heard someone speak.
"Lady, you sure as hell better be who I think you are or we're going to have some real problems"
A/N: I think we all know who the person speaking is… However, how will another friend take it? Next chapter will be up soon!
