Part 2: There Can Be Only One
After teleport up to the Watchtower I head over to the secondary controls hub in the teleporter chambers. Reaching the controls I quietly shut down key systems. One by one the Watchtower's key systems turn off which automatically locked down the entire Watchtower. With all others League members locked away it only left the founding members roaming around the tower freely. Using the control hub surveillance systems I make sure all is secure before I head out to subdue my fellow founding members of the League.
The first of my fellow founding members I encounter are the Flash and Green Lantern. Silently I follow behind them in the darkened hallway only lit by Green Lanterns ring.
"See told you pulling up that toaster in your quarters would short out the Watchtower one day you greedy bastard", Hal joked as I sneak up behind him.
"Well sorry for wanting my toast extra toasty", The Flash replies laughing.
"Oh you mean extra burnt", Hal replies hitting the Flash in the back.
With the lasso of truth in hand I lasso Lantern's hand that holds his power ring. Pulling with all my strength I yank him sideways hurling him into The Flash who was standing at his side. Twirling my lasso I wrap them tightly together causing them to fall on the floor. As I walk up to their tangled bodies I watch Hal try to create blade with his power ring but I quickly punch him in the face. Once knocked out I remove his ring and place it in bag that was laced to my side.
"Diana", The Flash calls into the darkness as he tries to rollover to see me. "What is wrong with you?"
"I am so sorry Barry but this is for your own good", I reply as my might fists hits his face. With Barry and Hal subdued I gradually remove my lass from around their bodies and teleport them into an escape pod I rigged to help me distract Kal..
Making my way farther into the Watchtower I find Martian Manhunter and Aquaman running down towards the monitor room. Trying to sneak up behind them I find that J'onzz quickly notices me with out looking back at me. I try to shield my mind from his telepathic abilities but immediately I sense him probing my mind.
Sensing him in my mind he witnesses the vision the Oracle had sent me through my eyes. He sees all of the death and blood shed at the hands of Darkseid. Even for a creature with such powerful mental abilities seeing his own dead body caused him to set my mind free.
With J'onzz still reeling from my vision I turn my attention to Aquaman. Still walking towards monitor room Aquaman does not notice that J'onzz was no longer at his side. Seeing an opening I rushed past J'onzz tackling the King of Atlantis to the ground. I grab a chuck of his long golden hair lifting his head slightly off the ground before slamming it back down to the floor. I watch J'onzz face cringe as I knock out Arthur.
"You can not do this alone."
"I will have to", I reply getting up from atop the unconscious Aquaman. "You saw what will happen if the whole League battles Darkseid, none of us will survive."
"Superman won't allow you to do this", he replies as I prepare to teleport Aquaman to the escape pod with Barry and Hal.
"I know he won't that's why I'm going to distract him", I reply.
"By endangering the lives of your friends?" he asks.
"Yes", I reply.
"And what if Kal doesn't take your bait and fights Darkseid with you?" he asks walking over to me. "What happened to us?"
I slowly look up to J'onzz and answer, "That is why I am going to ask you to go with them willingly. With you still awake if Kal doesn't come you can get them out of harms way."
"Are you sure you want to do this? He may never forgive you for this princess", he says touching my shoulders.
"It is a risk I am willing to take J'onzz", I reply trying to hold back the tears. "I love you all so much not to."
"I hope you know what you are doing princess", he replies picking up Aquaman off the ground.
"Me too J'onzz", I reply as I watch J'onzz and Arthur vanish before my eyes.
Finally reaching the monitor room I find Batman standing in front of the dimly lit wall of monitors.
"What the hell are you doing Diana?" he asks turning towards me.
I do not answer him. He lunges at me but I float in to the air dodging his attack throwing a tiny poison laced dart at his exposed neck. Turning around Batman releases several batarang but the toxic dipped dart had begun to take effect. I block several of them all with my blade but most missed me. In a whirlwind I grab Batman throat lifting him off the ground. I look into his eyes and watch him slowly lose consciousness. I hoarsely whisper, "Why?"
Releasing his body to the ground I reply, "Because I can not bare the thought of any of you falling to harm."
Batman tries to reply but his eyes were unable to remain open as the poison falling brings down the Batman. I radio J'onzz to teleport Batman down with the others.
With everyone secure save Superman I release the escape sending it adrift in to space. Give it 15 minute countdown before it would activate auto pilot sending it directly into the sun.
"I am sorry my friends, I do this to keep you safe", I say as I send a distress signal to one place I know Kal would quickly find me, Smallville.
Leaving the Watchtower I teleport down to Smallville, just shy of the Kent farm. I slowly walk down the long dirty covered drive way until I reach the front porch of his home. Walking up the stairs I hear the sound of Kal's sonic boom overhead.
Taking a very deep breath I turn to see Kal in all his glory walking towards me. My beloved walks up to me without saying a word until we are face to face. I stare up at his face as he beings to speak to me coldly, "Were is everyone Diana?"
"Secure in the Watchtower or in an escape pod", I reply as I feeling the heat radiating from the closeness of his body.
"What have you done Diana?!" he asks in a firm tone.
I do not answer.
He grabs me in his strong hands and holds me tightly. "Diana what have you done?!" he asks again his voice filled with anger.
I lift off the porch slightly floating high enough to reach his lips. I lean in placing a gentle kiss upon his lips. As our lips meet I feel him pull me into his strong body. Like a ravenous beast I could feel his body aching desire to devour me and make me his own. I pull away to see his eyes red with both passion and anger.
I move my lips just inches from his ears and whisper, "You have 15 minutes before they all burn up by Apollo's scorching flames."
He releases me and I land back to the ground. I see the disappointment in his eyes as he tries to speak but I interrupt me. "Time is ticking Clark", I say cringing at the fact I called him Clark instead of Kal. "You have 11 minutes left so you can either argue with me or go save our finds."
"Diana..."
"11 minutes and 35 seconds Clark", I reply as he beings to take to the skies.
"Damn it Diana", he yells as his sonic boom cracks the Smallville sky.
Again I find myself alone I head inside Kal's home with only the images of my fallen friends in a sea of red. I feel unclean and unworthy to wear my Wonder Woman armor. Slowly I unhinge my armor allowing it to collapses upon the floor. I remove my boots feeling the cold tile under my feet. Walking on the cold tiles I make my way to a mirror in the bathroom.
Looking at my naked body I reach for my tiara and remove it from my head tossing it unto the bed in the next room. Finally I look at my wrist. Closing my eyes I remove my braces. I feel my body burn with power. Slowly opening my eyes I witness my father's lightning spread over my body turning my skin a pure white. Starting at my feet a single trail of lightning traced a pattern on my flesh stopping at the whites filled eyes.
"Darkseid says he wants to battle a god", I say as I head towards the skies. "Will now he must deal with the GODDESS OF WAR!"
