Prologue
Fifteen years ago the notorious playboy billionaire known as Bruce Wayne settled down and married the amazon beauty, Diana of Themyscira. The wedding was a big celebration. Many had come including gaggles of press. But neither of the couple minded since they were amongst friends and family and were in each other's company. No one thought anything bad would happen but knowing that some unwelcome guest were bound to show, Bruce was always alert for he wanted nothing more than to spend the day with friends and family. Even commissioner Gordon took the day off to see the two wed.
Sitting in her giant room in Wayne statement manor the young 15 year old gloomed at the scenery outside her window. She grumbled as she heard her two brothers outside the door. Sighing she starred back out her window. Smirking she counted down as she heard the whispers of Leo and Ramsey, hearing hurried steps she quickly sprang into action as she reached one and a loud noise come from the other side of the door.
Thanking Hermes she had been granted the gift of flight from her mother she sped fast for the open ocean, laughing as she heard Pennyworth giving her brothers a not so kind talking to from an opened window. Pennyworth was their guardian as both their parents worked all the time. Her smile faded, she hardly ever got to see them. Aryanna stopped. How she longed to run away from it all, forget she was a Wayne and demi goddess. Looking in the distance she breathed and set to the open sky. Aryanna loved the feeling of flying she also loved the feel of the water on her skin yet rarely got to visit her friends in the ocean. Yet she knew Aqua Man would not be pleased to see her alone and unattended. Her mother Wonder Woman, would not be thrilled to see Aryanna being escorted home by the marine hero.
Finally she reached the ocean. Smiling she raced into the water forgetting all about her clothes until she felt them dragging her down. Returning to shallow water she took off her drenched jeans, long sleeved jacket and t-shirt. Breathing in the salty air she waded into the deep azure water letting it kiss her bare skin. Sighing in contentment she set her course on a small sandy island. Nearing the island she felt something touch her leg. Stopping to catch her breath, she briefly looked around to see if anything or one was near but, there was nothing. Aryanna took a deep breath and dived, once under water she tried to open her eye to look around but her eyes burned the longer she had them open. Returning to the surface she tried to blink the burning sensation away.
"Swim toward my voice." A deep male voice instructed. Doing as told, she swam until the water got shallower turning into dry smooth, warm sand.
"Let me dry your eyes, as it was my fault your eyes are burning from the water." The voice said with a slight pain and annoyance.
She stayed perfectly still as she felt a soft towel touch her face. Once the job was done a hand replaced the soft fabric upon her cheek.
"Why must you act so immaturely Ari?" the voice asked softly.
'Ari only one person calls me that!' she thought then, before she could finish her thoughts her mouthed opened, "Kaldur'ahm?!" slightly surprised as well as grateful.
"It is I, but why are you not at Wayne manor, it is too dangerous for you to be out alone, which you has been expressed to you on multiple levels." He said sternly looking into her cooled sapphire eyes.
"I am aware of my position, noting who my parents are and the dangers that could stem from the fact. It's completely unfair that I have to be cooped up in a mansion with three younger siblings. While the rest of the world is out here living life, as it should be!" Waving her arms around for extra measure. Kaldur sighed, knowing she had a point, he would let her win this time. He circled his free arm around her waist while leaving the other upon her cheek.
"I miss you Kaldur." Aryanna said looking up into his caring pale gray eyes. Their faces were mere centimeters away when a rough cough came from behind Kaldur's shoulder. Both getting spooked out of their interment moment, if only slightly jumping apart. They turn to see Aqua Man standing behind them less than a meter from the two teens.
"How long have you been there my lord?" Kaldur asked a light blush growing on the tips of his ears.
"Long enough, we should get Miss Wayne back to the main land before people start to worry." He instructed.
"Too late for that Bruce has been worried since Alfred notified him." Diana said as she joined them. This time Aryanna was the one to blush, for the fact she had been caught by Alfred, as well to be found with Kaldur in more than a friend embrace. 'Nothing gets past that man.' She thought making her lips turn in a little frown.
"There's no need to pout Aryanna you know Alfred finds out one way or another." Her mother spoke.
Aqua Man nodded to Diana then looked to Kaldur. "It's time to take our leave my apprentice." He said walking into the water.
"Yes, my ledge." Kaldur responded, "Maybe another time Ari." Letting her go from their embrace, turning to follow his mentor.
Diana raised an eyebrow to her daughter. Who sheepishly looked away? Being a knowing mother she smiled towards her daughter.
"How long?" she asked her daughter simply.
"Not long, he keeps me company when I'm out here, he wants to keep me safe though I can do that myself." She told her mother in a matter of fact voice.
"Really? Is that what you call running away?" Diana questioned.
"I just don't understand why none of us can leave the manor except you and dad, I'm fifteen years old, in a few months I'll be sixteen. I should be able to go to school, have friends. I'm positive he didn't do this with Dick or Tim" Aryanna huffed. Knowing what she was going through she put a hand on her daughters shoulder.
"Okay, then why don't we start with something small and simple like, getting you into school?" Diana offered.
"Are you serious, I would love you even more into eternity?" Aryanna squealed hugging her mother. Smiling Diana hugged her back.
"Okay let's go home and get some clothes on you." She told her daughter. Aryanna just realizing two people one being her own mother saw her with Kaldur in her underwear, a bright blush covered her pale skin.
"Yeah, can we keep this part between us, okay?" Aryanna squeaked.
