Chapter Four
Once Diana had flown out of sight Batman turned to the gathered heroes. "We need to get back to the Watchtower."
Superman frowned. "We should go after her."
"It's already taken care of, I slipped a tracking device on her," Batman said as he pulled out a slim data pad.
Superman smiled, Green Lantern then frowned. "They could transport her anywhere in the universe," Green Lantern stated, causing a small smirk to appear on Batman's face.
"It's a state of the art Tachyon tracer, we will be able to hone in on her anywhere in the universe."
Superman sighed. "So that's why you hugged her. And we thought you were getting soft in your old age," he teased Batman. Before Batman could respond with a sarcastic reply Superman spoke out to the group of gathered heroes. "Let's return to the Watchtower, we can regroup there."
Everyone nodded as J'onn started to teleport groups of people back up.
Diana awoke in a lavishly furnished room, the bed was soft and very comfortable. A movement on her left caused her to jump out of the bed. Diana sneered at the female in question, the woman held up her arms showing her she meant her no harm. The woman was nearly as tall as herself and was extremely beautiful, her clothing was very stylish looking ancient Greek inspired.
"Who are you?" Diana growled out as she cautiously looking around her surroundings.
"My name is Val Am, my husband asked me to look after you until he returns," she spoke in Greek.
Still standing in a defensive stance, she asked, "Who is your husband?"
"Damianos. The living god." Val Am sounded reverent, like he truly was a god. Diana only narrowed her eyes. Was her husband the man that kidnapped her sisters and mother? Thinking this woman would be a good hostage or informant Diana lunged towards the woman with every bit of speed Hermes had granted her.
As Diana moved towards her she saw the woman smirk as she blocked each attempted grab at her. Suddenly the woman slapped Diana in the face causing Diana to freeze in pain and surprise. This woman was not a normal human, she was just as fast as Superman and equaled him in strength.
"What are you?" Diana asked as she held her chin.
"I'm Kryptonian," Val Am said as she moved towards a vase of flowers to examine them, Diana stared at the woman in surprise. She thought Clark and Kara were the only Kryptonians left.
Val Am turned her head and looked at Diana. "Damianos told me there is another like me on Earth, which was a surprise after we found out Krypton had been destroyed over thirty years ago."
Diana suddenly understood why she was call Val Am, just like Kal El was Superman's Kryptonian name. "How long have you been here?" Diana asked as she stopped rubbing her chin.
Val Am's face held a moment of concentration. "Two hundred and twenty-two years, give or take a month or so." Diana stared at the woman in surprise, she hardly looked over thirty.
Val Am smiled. "It's the yellow sun here, it extends Kryptonian lives." She was about to speak again when a door opened in the distance causing Val Am to smile. "He is home early. Come with me," Val said as she pointed towards a door way.
Diana lead the way since Val Am didn't make a move first. The next space was just as lavishly designed, it looked to be a wide large hallway. Diana turned to look at Val Am, she simply nodded for her to continue down the hallway.
At the end of the hallway was a massive set of glass doors Val Am opened one of the doors and motioned for Diana to enter the enclosed garden, as they walked through the garden Diana saw out the large glass dome that they were in the middle of a huge futuristic looking city. She even saw some flying cars fly by. At the end of the garden was another set of big glass doors. Val Am once again opened them and motioned for Diana to enter first.
The room was large and looked to be a sitting area. Diana saw the man at the other end, her eyes narrowed. It had to be him, the man was huge. At least seven feet tall and powerfully built.
The man stared blankly back at her as he moved towards the two woman, keeping his distance from Diana he embraced Val Am then turned his attention towards Diana.
"So you are the daughter of the whore Amazon Queen?" he growled out. Diana yelled out as she leapt at the man. Val Am caught Diana before she could get her hands on him. The man laughed. "She has more spirit then her slut mother."
"I promise you this: I will kill you if you have harmed my mother in anyway." Diana was nearly foaming at the mouth.
The man leaned closer to the outraged Amazon. "Not in the current position you are in." His smile made Diana want to harm this man like no other before. But she also saw that he wasn't invincible; the man had a ear to ear scar across his neck.
Batman entered the Javelin with the scanning pad in hand. Diana had been taken a little over an hour ago and with the signals degeneration his calculations had her distance at over fifty thousand light years from Earth. Almost on the other side of the Galaxy.
Superman was right behind him, with Green Lantern, Shayera, Flash, J'onn, Donna Troy and Nightwing. Donna forced herself on this mission saying, "Those are my people to and they have my mother and sister, nothing in Tartarus or Olympus will stop me from coming."
Bruce insisted Dick be brought along because he knew Donna was the best and could help restrain her if necessary - and his expertise in electronics was second to only himself or Steel who was staying on the Watchtower to run it.
There trip would take nearly a day with the newly upgraded hyper drive. Gotham would have to wait, no one messes with his Princess.
"Guards, bring in the whore," Damianos bellowed out.
Suddenly the door he entered opened and two armored clad guards dragged in a bound Hippolyta. Diana's eyes instantly fell onto her mother, she could see that her mother was unharmed. "Leave her," he commanded as the soldiers released Hippolyta and bowed as they made there exit.
Diana saw the love and happiness in her mother's eyes when she finally looked at her, but the way she looked at Damianos was something she never thought she would see in her mothers eyes. Shame.
What has this monster done to you mother? She watched as he moved towards her mother, her muscles tightened up just as Val Am's hold onto her got a little stronger. She watched in amazement when he touch Hippolyta in almost a caring way, and was more shocked at how her mother pushed herself into the touch. He then spun her around and unbound her arms.
"Stay with your fake daughter, for tomorrow I will kill her in front of you." he hissed as he shoved Hippolyta towards Diana. Diana was released as her mother came crashing into her.
"Don't try to escape," he pointed a finger at both women. "Tracers have been embedded within both of you and my troops will find you the instant you leave this section of my home." Val Am wrapped her arm around his and they started to make there exit. He paused at the doorway and turned his head.
"We have that cheap tracer we found on your person, we are tracking a vessel heading this way. Your friends will join you in death as well," he stated calmly as he exited the room.
