Chapter 11 - Diana's Angel

()()()

When all was said and done, the police arrived to the scene, and discovered the brutal aftermath. Many of the guards were ex-cons and most of them were wanted in connections with crimes back wherever.

The newlyweds were all brought back to the police station in Honolulu for statements, and subsequent compensations for having their vacations cut short.

The lion was taken away and placed in the zoo. Sure, he was imprisoned there, but considering that the nourishment he got with Swaggart was less than satisfactory, it was a vast improvement. and he had plenty of space to roam, and he could freely mate with any of the lionesses that were there.

And of course, Wonder Woman ripped The Coat's chains off and helped him break out. Just like he told her before, he would not have made it off the MV Nautilus alive without her, He would not have gotten out of the arena alive without her.

The next day, the 2 heroes flew back to Washington together to be debriefed and to say their goodbyes before seperating again.

First off, Diana met with Steve Trevor to discuss something with him.

"Welcome home, Diana, when I heard about the lion, I was worried."

"Ugh, that's an exaggeration. that lion was more like a pussycat." Diana laughed.

But there was another burning question on Steve's mind.

"So...do you feel any better?" asked Steve

"Yes...for the longest time in a while, I can honestly say, i've blown off some steam. I'm over things."

"How'd Kenny take that?" Asked Steve

"Kenny took it like a man...at first, a whimpering man...but by the end...I think he took it better than a lot of guys I know would." Diana walked with Steve.

"Do you still have the rings?" asked Steve.

Diana took a pause to admit the truth.

"No...I threw them away." Diana replied

Steve smiled at that.

"You know...i'm proud of you." Steve hugged Diana.

Kenny sat at the terminal, waiting for Diana to come and say goodbye to him. She eventually caught up to him after stopping talking with Steve. When Diana approached him, He was busy singing a song.

"Heaven helps the man who finds his feet, loves the only thing that keeps me here, you're the reason that i'm hanging on, my heart's stayin' where my heart belongs..." then he said very clearly. "I'm free!"

"Hey, glad to be finally divorced?" Diana joked.

"I haven't stopped listening to Freebird." Kenny quickly replied.

Diana cracked another smile.

"So...I guess this is goodbye again. If there's anything else, i'll certainly come and get you or call you, or..."

"Here." Kenny pulled a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote down his phone number.

"Oh, it's your number." Replied Diana

"Yep...if you want to talk, or just throw it out..."

"No, no, i'll keep it. We gotta get together again, maybe meet up with Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent when he comes."

"Or Clark'll just punch a hole in my head when he finds out I slept with you." Kenny joked.

"No..it'll be OK...Don't forget...you were there for me. And if you need me..." Diana handed kenny her number "..Call me...i'll come and help you."

Diana probably wouldn't have expected a call from Kenny at all. As a man, Kenny had his pride and would've preferred to take things on by himself. But maybe if he wanted a friend to just chat with, Diana would be on the other end.

"Thanks, Diana. I hope I don't turn out to be a stalker or anything, cause i'm gonna miss you the moment I get on the plane."

"Oh, you'll make it." Diana then gave Kenny an order "Now listen. Go home, go home to Josie. Go lay in bed with her. Don't ever let her feel alone."

"You bet I will." Kenny couldn't resist giving Diana a hug. After they let go of each other, Diana had one last request.

"I want a picture." She said.

"Of me, or us both?" Asked Kenny.

"Both of us." Diana acted as if Kenny was being silly "Now come on, get close. Do something goofy."

for the picture, Diana smiled and stuck her tongue out. Kenny lifted his hand did his rock on symbol. To their now federally imprisoned adversary, that might have meant "Devil's horns" and possibly the sticking out of a tongue might have been considered immodest, but to a person reading sign language, a "horned hand" meant "love" and two friends acting silly in front of a camera together was love in it's best form...friendship.

They each took a picture of each other as well, to put on their smartphones.

"Flight 209 to Canada, now boarding."

"That's my cue." Said Kenny.

"Have a safe flight...call when you land."

"You bet."

And like their previous seperation, Kenny didn't want to take his eyes off Diana until he was far enough away.

Walking through the ramp to get aboard the plane, there were passengers getting off. by accident, Kenny bumped into a man much bigger and stronger than him.

"Oh, sorry, my bad." Kenny apologized first.

"It's OK. Hey, have a safe flight." said the man.

"I'll try...Take care man!" Kenny walked off, having absolutely no clue he had just bumped into Diana's angel...Clark Kent.
