Chapter 2

Clark Kent woke up in a cell surrounded by many women, who held swords and pikes at close range to his head, neck and stomach. The man wondered on why he had received such an awful treatment and thought how these women would probably kill him soon.

A woman whom he saw before, Princess Diana stood in front to him with a golden lasso looking at her prisoner. She looked fierce but Clark felt that she would not really hurt him. "Why are you here?"

"I told my story. I did not lie"

"Alright man, I will get the truth" She tied the lasso around Clark and it seems that magic was flowing through the veins of the rope.

"What is your name?" asked Diana

"My name is Clark Kent"

"Why you Clark Kent arrived here? Please tell your method of arrival"

"I don't know why I am here. I did not plan to visit your island and I arrived here after my plane was destroyed; the explosion threw me here and I landed on the island"

"My highness, he must be lying"

"Quiet Artemis, the lasso tells the truth. Do you wish to harm us? What do you think of us?"

"I would never willingly harm a person since my parents taught me that I should do the right thing. And I think of you all as a tribe living on an island, that is hostile towards men although I do not know why"

"I see that you are telling the truth, Clark Kent, but since you are a man you must be killed as men are not to be trusted as well as the fact that men are evil" a group of women threw spears at Clark and he closed his eyes, after he opened them he saw that the weapons were on the floor and his body was not harmed. He tried to free himself and surprisingly he easily broke the chains and stood on the floor.

"How did you do it?" asked the Princess

"I do not know," answered Clark and then after realizing that the lasso was still on him took it off.

"You are not going anywhere!"

"I know that Princess Diana since I have no way to leave this island and it would be cowardly of me to run from women, who appear not to be able to even cause harm to me. Why should I even bother to leave? I can help you all"

The women looked at each other suspiciously and then Diana made up her mind. "Alright man, you will not be rotting in the dungeon or killed as neither works on you but you will be under my direct supervision"

"Yes mam"

"?"

"Sorry, this is an expression my mother taught me when I was a kid" Diana looked at Clark suspiciously and went out of the dungeon with making sure that her prisoner would follow her everywhere. To her surprise, he did not even bother to run away and did what she told him.

"This man does not seem to be a monster that my mother and sister depicted the men to be. He did not lie and surprisingly is very friendly" the Princess though as she went to her quarters.

After arriving to her house, she went in and looked around. "This house has only one room and one bed, so you will be sleeping on the ground. You can make a bed out of hay if you wish. When I change do not look at me or I will punish you"

"Of course, why would I do that to such a fine lady" Diana looked rather intrigued as this man broke all stereotypes she heard of men. He was very strong yet seemed gentle and polite; he did not seem to lie and wanted to help her if he could. That further confused the young Princess.

"My guard will see that you do not hurt me at night." Now Clark was confused but nodded in agreement as he did not want to violate the trust given to him. As he saw that Diana prepared to change, he went outside and collected a few sticks of wood to make a fire, as it was a cold night. Unfortunately, he could not find a lighter and his mood dropped but then he felt that his eyes emitted some sort of energy and created a fire. That surprised the man, as he did not know what else he could do.

"Did you make a fire?" asked Diana after she changes and exited her house.

"Yes, I somehow used my eyes to light the wood up. Look" Clark focused again and looked at another piece of wood and suddenly it caught on fire.

"That was… great! Your produced some sort of red rays that upon hitting the wood heated the wood" Clark was surprised.

"One moment please, I will be back" Clark ran around the house and lighted up the torches around it. The evening now looked better and the two adults looked at each other.

"Could you tell me how you fell about me? I heard that men think of women only as toy that could be used by men when bored"

"Well I find you attractive, yes, but I think I might have feelings for you and not just the animal instincts that say that you could be my mate. I certainly would defend you and if needed give my life for you. You seem to be a wonderful person Diana"

Clark then saw a lasso tied to his wrist and smiled at the girl. Diana smiled back and looked even better than before. The two looked at each other for half a minute and then kissed. Diana felt that Clark tried to be gentle in the way he treated her. The couple did not notice as they fell asleep in front of the fire with Diana laying in his arms and Clark holding her like a precious gemstone.
