2: The DeLorean
The night...

"Well that's the whole story." said Diana.

"That's incredible!" said Hippolyta, as she climbed into the car, "Doctor Brown built a time machine out of this thing?"

"Yes. He said something about the steel frame being important for some reason, but I don't understand why."

"This is amazing." said Artemis, "What does it run on?"

"Well Doc told me that the engine itself runs regular unleaded gasoline. However the device that allows the car to travel in time requires 1.21 gigawatts of electricity to run."

"What's a gigawatt?" asked Artemis.

"One billion watts of electricity." Diana answered.

"How can it generate that much power?" Phillipus asked.

"This device here is called 'Mr. Fusion.' It can transform any form of matter in nuclear energy that can be converted into the electricity that is needed."

Rene hanging around at the back of the DeLorean, she could not face Diana that night.

"Incredible!" said Hippolyta sitting in the front seat of the car, "This keypad here must be what you use to enter to date you want." She punched in a date on the keypad.

January, 8, 921 B.C. 12:00 pm

"Oh course," said Hippolyta as date flashed up on the screen, "I remember that well."

"What happened?" asked Diana.

"That was the day Heracles took over Themyscira. He had drugged me and stole the girdle of Gaea. Thank Hera those days are over."

"This back here," said Diana as she pointed to a y-shaped object behind the driver's seat, "Is called 'The flux capacitor' Doctor Brown's greatest invention. This is what makes time travel possible."

"Hard to believe that thing can allow one to travel through time." said Phillipus.

Hippolyta climbed out of the driver's seat.

"Rene?" She called out, "Do you want to see the time machine?"

Rene shook her head, she still felt horrible about what happened that day; she couldn't win the contest! She couldn't earn the respect that she wanted so badly!

'Oh Rene,' Diana thought as she put old bits of food into Mr. Fusion, 'Why do you act like this? You gave me a good match, isn't that enough? Why do you feel like you must win everything? It's okay to lose sometimes.'

"Doctor Brown told me to be careful with time travel," said Diana as she closed Mr. Fusion, "Interfering with any past events can change the future in ways you can't imagine. That's why I'm going 1,000 years into the future."

"Into the future?" asked Artemis.

"Yes. I want to take this chance to see the progress of Themyscira."

Diana climbed into the driver's seat and put the key into the ignition.

However, before she could put the date in, she saw something coming down from the clouds.

"Oh no," gasped Diana, "It's him. He must be here for the DeLorean."

Diana leaped out of the car, "Everyone take cover!"

It was Ares!
