Chapter 2

On Themyscira Queen Hippolyta sense's dark forces approaching. She has a brief premonition of fire consuming her home. Her people are all enslaved. She can see all of the mighty amazons bound, tortured, and raped. She can hear the maniacal laughing of the monster who brought this upon her world. She see's the face of this creature through a wall of fire. But she wakes up before she can tell who's face she saw. All she know's is that dark forces are coming. She knows she needs the help of her daughter Diana.

While Hippolyta was fearful for the dark forces nearing her home. Her daughter woke up to a beautiful morning in the arms of her lover Bruce. His huge arms were wrapped around her as she rest her head against his masculine chest. He had a look on his face as he slept. He seemed at peace. She gave him a night of absolute pleasure. A massage, hot crazy sex. For the first time in her life she saw Bruce being legitimately happy.

He woke up with his arms wrapped around the most beautiful woman he has ever known. And he's been around all kinds of women. Supermodels, actresses. He's even had sexual encounters with Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, and Talia Al Ghul. But Diana beats all of them by a long shot. Well she doesn't beat Catwoman by a lot, but she does beat her. He looked into her hauntingly beautiful blue eyes starring back into his.

"Good morning." She said with a smile on her face.

"Good morning." he replied back while stroking her hair behind her ear.

"I just want to stay this whole day in bed with you." she said.

"Me too." He agreed while planting a kiss on her forehead.

"But that's a luxury we don't have." she said she she crawled out of bed.

"Unfortunately." He said as he got up too.

Alfred entered the room with an owl perched on his shoulder. "Excuse me Master Bruce but i believe Miss Prince has a visitor." Alfred said as the bird flew from his shoulder over too Diana. She removed the message attached to the owl's foot. "My mother is summoning me be back home. She says evil is coming." Diana said. Bruce could hear the worry in Diana's voice. Diana asked Bruce to accompany her back home. Bruce agreed. They then took the invisible jet to Themysira.

When they arrived, Hippolyta was there waiting eagerly to see her daughter. Diana hadn't been back home for a long time. Diana walked out of the Jet and greeted her mother with a hug. "It's been to long Diana." Hippolyta says. "It's good to be back home." Diana replies back. Hippolyta then sees Batman walk out. "Who is this?" She asked confused.

"Mother, this is Batman. He's the man I'm dating." Diana said.

"Oh is this the one that has the same powers as you?" Hippolyta asked.

"No, that's Superman." Diana answered.

"Th the one with the ring?" Her mother asked again.

"No." Diana answered again.

"The fast one?" She asked. Diana shakes her head. "The one that can shape shift?" she asked yet again. Diana places her face in her hand. "Well, what does he do?" she asked.

"Mother. He is a mortal." Diana answered. "Oh not this again. This is just like your romantic fling with Steven Trevor during the second world war." Hippolyta said in disgust. "Wait, who and when?" Bruce asked curious about who this Steve Trevor guy was. Plus hearing her being alive during wold war 2 made Bruce wonder how old Diana really was.

"Bruce is the smartest man i have ever met. He also is one of the most noble and bravest warriors i have ever met." Diana pleads. "Oh, so he's a warrior." Hippolyta says intrigued. "How many men have you killed?" she asked. Diana cringed already knowing the answer to the question. "I don't kill." Bruce coldly answered. "Some warrior. Doesn't even have the nerve to take a life." Hippolyta said. "What do you see in this man?" she asked Diana. "You have no right to judge then men i choose to be with. I choose who i wish to love." Diana stated in anger.

Hippolyta sighed. "If what i have predicted is true. Then you just may not have a choice." she said. "What do you mean?" Diana asked. "Warlord. I have foreseen his return. He has vowed vengeance against me." Her mother answered. "Who is he?" Bruce asked.

"He's a blood thirsty warrior that wants to rule over Themyscira." Diana answered.

"We have to defeat him and the army he will bring with him." Hippolyta said. "My daughter and I are the only one's who can stand a chance against Warlord."

"Mother Bruce is a great leader. He leads us and plans all of our battles for the Justice League. Allow him to lead our Army against Warlords." Diana pleaded. It took some arguing but Hippolyta finally and reluctantly agreed. She figured she might as well see if this man is actually worth anything.

Later that night Bruce went to see Hippolyta to talk to her in private. "What brings you here mortal?" she asked. "Warlord. I have a feeling the story you told Diana isn't the truth." Bruce said. "How do you know?" she asked insulted by the accusation of her lying. "I have been reading people my whole life. The face you made when Diana told me Warlord's intentions said it all. You lied to her." Bruce said. With a sigh Hippolyta told Bruce the truth.

"Diana believes i sculpted her from Clay and breathed life into her. That's not true. I had an affair with Hades. I became pregnant with his child. Zeus was most displeased. My punishment was to kill the child after i gave birth to it. I of course agreed to appease him. But after i gave birth to Diana i could not kill her. She was my daughter. I loved her too much to kill her. Warlord came to me and offered me a deal. He would challenge Zeus to a duel. If he won Diana could live and he would have her hand in mirage when she grew up. If he lost well then Zeus would decide what to do with us. I knew Warlord was a twisted man but i was desperate to save my daughter's life. Warlord challenged Zeus to a duel. Zeus surrendered his powers temporally to make it equal. Warlord defeated him and Diana's life was spared. But i then realized what i had done. Even though Diana was alive, i gave her a fate worse than death by offering her to Warlord in the future. He would have done horrible things to her. I'm not proud of what i did, for even though it was for my daughter, i dishonored my word. I snuck into Warlord's bed chamber as he slept and bound him. He was unable to fight back as me and some of my warrior's banished him to the underworld. Now Warlord has escaped. Hades sent me a premonition as a warning. He will do unspeakable things to us all... To Diana..." Hippolyta was brought to tears by finally venting her secret to somebody.

"I beg you not to tell her any of what i just shared with you." she pleaded. "You have my word." Bruce said. He was shocked by what he just heard. He knew that he had to win this battle for Diana.
