A/N: Here's the answer to why the Amazons fell down. This is another short piece, but it gives a big clue to where the story is headed. Hope you can figure out the mystery lady at the end.

Hidden God

Dick bent down careful not to touch Donna. He examined her body trying to see if there were any clues to why she and every other Amazon fell to the floor of the throne room unconscious. Cyborg stood to the other side of Donna. He was also trying to figure out what had happened, "Vitals are normal. She's perfectly fine except for whatever the hell knocked her out."

"Her and twelve hundred other Amazons," Dick glazed over the room. The members of the League scattered throughout the room checking on the fallen women.

"Whatever knocked them down has to have a hell of a lot of power," Cyborg commented as Dick nodded in agreement, "Maybe godlike power."

Superman had picked up Diana and laid her body down next to her sister. He addressed Dick and Cyborg, "I hear wailing coming from the west end of the palace in the tower. It sounds like babies screaming."

"Don't worry about them. We need to focus on what is happening on the ground here," Dick ordered moving the other members of the team to join them.

"If there are children up there," Superman began to protest.

"It is being handled by the best person available. Trust me. We need to focus our attention here," Dick insisted in a hushed voice, "We can talk about this after we brief the team."

"I scanned the palace and the outer alleys surrounding it. My ring can't detect threat around here. No unexplained presences either," Hal reported.

"Are those rings made with built-in god sensors?" Dick retorted.

"Hasn't failed me yet, kid?" Hal snickered.

"We should run a search of the mystical kind just to be sure," Cyborg added.

"On it," Zatanna lifted her arms and chanted incoherently. After a couple of words, she stopped and gasped. Her eyelids fell shut for a moment. Then, her beautiful bright eye color had been replaced with the haunting glow of stoic gray eyes. Words came from her lips in rapid succession.

The body of each Amazon hovered a couple feet above the floor. A luminous glow began to radiate first from Diana and Donna. It spread like wildfire until each Amazon glowed with a dim brilliance. As Zatanna finished her incantation, the tribe returned to floor as gently as a mother placing her baby down to sleep. Within a minute, every Amazon had regained consciousness and was rising from the floor.

Superman offered a hand to both sisters and helped them up. Once they were stable on their feet, he asked, "Are you two okay?"

"Yeah," Donna mumbled trying to comprehend what just happened, "I feel like myself again."

"What do you mean?" Dick asked alarmed.

"I feel . . . I don't know how to explain it," Donna fumbled.

"Restored," Diana interjected, "It is as if what we sacrificed has been given back to us."

"Explain," Dick insisted attempting to understand what they were saying.

"When Zatanna cast the spell to create the protection barrier, it felt as though a piece within had been given up. Yet, somehow I feel as I did before the spell," Diana explained.

"It was only right to restore your people after the proclamation of loyalty. The Amazons have done much for me. It is time they were rewarded for their unwavering faith," a deep feminine voice boomed from within the crowd.

The League turned to Zatanna. An owl was perched upon her forearm as she caressed the feathers of the bird's left wing. She turned and looked directly at Diana with haunting gray eyes that hid all the knowledge of Earth and beyond within them. She said, "It is good to see you again, my champion."
