Diana clung to Brittany, feeling both uncertain and exhilirated as they sped through the city streets on what was apparently called a "bike." It was quite noisy, and a bit lower to the ground than she was used to, but it was faster than any horse she knew of. It had been waiting for them at the airport when they landed; another act by Oracle. She had been the one who had provided the transportation so far-she had "called in a favor" or something to get them onto the strange aircraft at this time of the night-and she was still talking in their ears, giving them directions through the city.

"Take a left onto 1st Avenue and keep going...Saleen, what've you got?"

"The energy blips are increasing in number," came the alien woman's voice. "I think it is not long now."

"How far, Amber?" Brittany asked.

"Hang on, I'm calculating...take the next right." Oracle's voice faded out, sounding distracted. Diana shifted her position, half-wanting to remove the earpiece; it was uncomfortable and was starting to itch.

"Brit, take a left onto the FDR East River Drive." Diana jumped slightly as Oracle's voice suddenly sounded again in her ear. "There's a pier on the right; see if you can find a boat."

Diana yelped slightly as Brittany made a sudden unexpected swerve to sweep between two vehicles as she moved onto the drive. "Brittany! We want to reach the battle site alive!"

"Trust me, Di; I know what I'm doing." Brittany swerved again, weaving around another car and getting honked at for it before she took them off the drive and towards the pier. Diana sprang off before they were fully stopped and pelted towards the three boats at the end of the dock.

Oracle spoke again, "Ladies, I've been comparing energy readings from previous attacks, and with the current buildup...I'd say we've got about five minutes."

"Small boat!" Brittany shouted from behind her. Diana adjusted her direction as instructed and sprang into the smallest of the boats, Brittany following a moment after. The black-clad woman bent over the strange object at the stern, and it roared to life. Diana drew her sword and slashed through the rope tethering it to the dock in a smooth motion, and the boat sprang forward under Brittany's control.

"Hold us straight a minute," she said, and Diana grabbed the control Brittany had been holding and kept it still. Brittany pulled her mask from her belt and tied it on, then pulled up her hood and pulled out her collapsible bow, snapping it out into its full position. She took the controls back and flashed Diana a smile. "Ready?"

Diana took a moment to ensure all her armor was in place, and shifted her helmet so it would be a little more comfortable over the earpiece. She removed her shield from her back and settled it on her arm. "Ready."

"Good. You two are almost there," Oracle said.

As if to punctuate her words, Saleen suddenly flew over the heads like a blue beacon. Her voice still came through the earpieces as she told them, "It still looks quiet, but I don't think that will last long. Any minute, we could-"

She was cut off by a massive BOOM! that echoed across the water, and for a moment Diana's earpiece sounded nothing but a strange buzzing. The sound was accompanied by a burst of light, and a doorway in the air, one like a glowing tunnel, opened up near the shore. Row upon row of the creatures they had fought before began to pour through, and charged towards the nearest building, a long, low one in comparision to the giant tower of glass and steel beside it.

"I've sounded the alarm in the UN building," Oracle told them as Diana hopped across the boat to the bow and readied herself for battle. Brittany stood, pulling an arrow from her quiver and nocking it to the string, and Saleen sped toward the air-tunnel.

"Be strong, my friends," she told them. "All will be well."

"We've beat these guys before, and we'll do it again," Brittany said. "There's just more of them...each of us take one quarter, and leave the last quarter to the security guys."

Diana turned to look at Brittany; her expression indicated that she was only half-joking. "We will hold the line," Diana assured her, then turned back to the attack. In a moment, they would be close enough for her to leap, and she tensed in readiness. "Ares guide me in this battle," she murmured, then sprang toward the shore and battle.
