Chapter 1: An Amazon Alone

Med bay The Watchtower, 30 years ago

Clark Kent, (Superman) sat hunched over in his chair. Trying to ignore the faint sound of the television in the corner of the waiting room.

He waited there for what felt like an eternity. His heart rate increasing with each passing moment until he thought it would beat out of his chest.

The soft whooshing sound of the doors opening reached his ears but still he did not move.

"What happened?"

Batman's deep stern voice made his legs go numb. He didn't know if it was his super hearing or the fact that they had been friends for so long that it allowed him to hear the note of fear in his voice but it was there. And it made his spirits slip even further.

"Batman…"

"WHAT-Happened?"

Sighing deeply he sat up resting his hands on his knees and looked at his friend. Batman struck a terrifying figure even in the light. His dark cowl hiding all but the lowest section of his face which was set in a permanent scowl. His black cloak draped around him making him seem even taller and imposing then his 6ft 3in frame already made him.

With a heavy heart he answered.

"By the time I caught up to her it was too late…and so was she."

Batman nodded as if he had suspected as much.

The sound of the doors opening once again reached them followed by a streak of red and yellow.

The flash materialized in front of them, and even with his mask his worry was evident.

"How is she?" he asked his voice chocking ever so slightly.

"We don't know yet." Replied Batman in a cool tone that would have seemed indifferent to those who didn't know him better.

"What the Hell happened to her?"

The three turned toward the sound of the new voice and saw Shayera Hol (Hawkgirl), J'onn J'onzz (Martian Manhunter), John Stewart (Green lantern), and Oliver Queen (Green Arrow.) Entering the waiting area.

Shayera repeated her question, a firm grip on her mace the whole time like she was waiting for an attack.

Superman once again lowered his head in shame.

"She never made it to the island. When the explosion came she was hit by part of the blast but was far enough away to survive….When I got there she was floating unconscious in the ocean."

Suddenly the TV in the corner seemed to get louder as a news bulletin was announced.

TV

Breaking news!

We have just received word that the Sovereign island of Themyscira was hit with a nuclear attack by the Republic Of New Kasnia!

Our reports say that the island and all of its inhabitants have been destroyed.

"Turn it off!" Batman commanded and Flash hurried to comply.

The stood in stunned silence, trying to grasp what they had just learned….An entire civilization…thousands of women…all gone in the blink of an eye.

"I just can't believe it." Oliver said in a soft voice. "All of them, gone, just like that."

The others slightly nodded in agreement of his disbelief.

"They may have been immortal, but not invulnerable." John said matter of factly.

"It may have been better if she was allowed to die with her people." Replied Shayera.

Flash turned to her with a look of hurt confusion that was visible even through his mask.

"How can you say that?! Wondy is our friend!"

"That's immaterial. She is a relic now Wally. If she was an exiled outcast before, she is a people less wanderer now." Batman explained.

Clark raised his head at this comment obviously perplexed and a little offended.

"So am I. I can move on so can she. She will need our help. But with time…"

"Not necessarily." J'onn interrupted with his normal gravitas. "You my friend were just a baby when your planet was destroyed. You have spent your whole life on earth with a family you claim as yours. What do you know of losing all you have ever known? You are Kryptonian by blood but little else."

J'onn's words stung, but Clark could see his point. Diana had lost all she had ever know. Her entire race, culture, and civilization was gone including the land on which it stood. How long would she need to move on from that?

Once again the waiting room doors opened and a bespectacled man in a white lab coat joined them. All turned and waited anxiously for the doctor's report.

"She is awake, and you may go in if you wish."

Batman,

When they entered the small recovery room she was sitting up on the bed staring blankly at the wall.

The burns on her body had already begun to heal and all that remained was the horrible scaring on the right side of her face. But even that would be gone in a matter of hours and she would return to the same divinely beautiful woman she had been before.

Bruce felt his stomach lurch as he looked at her. Not because of the scars but because of the cold dead look in her eyes.

Her armor was lying on the table beside her as were her tiara and lasso. She wore a white hospital gown that blended seamlessly with the rest of the décor. The only remnant of her costume that she still wore were the silver bracelets that she absentmindedly twisted around her wrists. First this way, then that.

She didn't look like Wonder Woman, Champion of the Amazons. She just looked like a woman lost.

As they neared she didn't acknowledge them but just continued to look blankly at the wall.

Clark felt the need to be the first to speak. But immediately knew it had been a mistake.

"Diana I…"

She turned her head so fast it looked like her neck was going to snap.

Her piercing blue eyes bore into his and Bruce saw an anger and hatred within them that he had never witnessed before.

"Get out!" She hissed.

Clark took a step back his face a look of shock and pain. Putting a hand out he tried again.

"Please Diana I tried…"

"You did this…All that has happened is YOUR FAULT!"
