And Injustice For All 2
Chapter 33: Paradise Lost, Pt. 2
"I can't hear her," said Damian. We lost her. The signal to Themyscira is gone."
"We'll give her time. She's inexperienced but formidable." Said Adam.
"What if they teller the truth?"
"What truth?"
"Don't play dumb, Adam. You literally have the wisdom of an Egyptian deity. It's not straightforward as she believe. If Kara is told what Wonder Woman has done..."
"Wonder Woman has fought for order."
"I know. But do you think Kara would approve of her methods?"
"No. She would never understand. She's innocent. We're you ever innocent?"
"No."
Themyscira
"Leave her for now, Antiope."
"You are too trusting, Hippolyta. Do we just accept anyone who washes up from the sea?"
"Would you prefer we threw her back?"
"If I were going to attack our island, this is how I would do so. Preying on your compassion."
"Then I'm glad you never had reason to do do, Antiope," said Wonder Woman.
"Let me question her."
"The safeguards are in place," said Hippolyta. She can't contact anyone."
"She's near drowned. There will be questions, but the interrogation can wait, for now. Let her rest."
At night, two sisters woke up Kara
"You! Wake up!"
"Why are you here?"
"I'm here... to free Wonder Woman."
"I'll keep her inbound, Phillipus. Inform Queen Hippolyta. Tell me. Who are you?"
"I'm Kara Zor-El..."
Menalippe was attacked from behind.
"Why did you do that? I thought she was your friend."
""I have known Menalippe for thousands of years," Phillipus explained. "We have been lovers, we have been rivals, and we had fought side-by-side against myths. It's not the first time I knocked her her, and it certainly won't be the last. You are still bound to tell the truth. Can you get our princess off the island?"
"Yes. I have the power and the means to do so."
"Then get dressed. The general will want to see you."
"Kara, my name is Antiope..."
*I know who are you are." Kara was wearing red Amazon attire.
"The queen would have us stay on the island, but we are not safe. If men end the world, Themyscira ends with it. Diana knew this, which is why she fought for order."
Antiope opens the doors to reveal the Amazon sisters.
"We, all of us, loyal to Diana. Phillipus says you have the power to free Diana and keep her safe? The lasso compels the truth, but it is only the truth you believe."
"It can't help if you're delusional," said Phillipus.
"I'm not delusional," Kara countered.
"Then who are you to make such claims?"
"I can't reveal myself."
Antiope has other ideas, involving the lasso of truth. "Yes. You can. We will keep your secret until you free us from our oath."
"My name is Kara Zor-El of the house of El. I am not delusional. I am Kryptonian."
"Diana." Hippolyta opens Diana's cell.
"What do you want, mother?"
"What I always want."
"To see if I learned the error of my ways? I don't know what you expected me to learn from being chained and imprisoned by my own mother and sisters, but it is certainly not the lesson you hoped for."
"You were meant to bring peace to the world."
"I did."
"A world afraid to step out of line. That is not peace."
"You're pathetic. You are a warrior who refused to fight. "You're a coward, mother!"
"That's hard to argue against."
"Antiope? What are you doing?
"What you should've done. I am freeing Diana. I am freeing our princess."
"Why is she here?"
"I told you you were too trusting."
"This is treason!"
"What other choice did you leave us? Men have reigned too long. They continue to war with each other. To kill Innocents. They don't care for the world around them. The world we were created to protect. If you are too afraid to fight, too afraid to lead, then we need someone who will."
"Our role is too protect, not rule. And I am not too afraid to fight!"
She punched Antiope and made a run for it until she was taken down by Phillipus.
"Release the queen!" Wonder Woman commanded.
"Come and get her then!"
Phillipus carried Hippolyta. "Antiope! They're coming to get her!"
"Did you goad them?"
"A little. The queen blew the guardian horn."
"You mean...?"
"Yes... It's all of them!"
