After spending the remainder of the day in that ever big bustling city...nothing bad happened. It could have been a fluke; but I didn't believe in such things. I had the wonder plane scan through everything again. Nothing. I sighed.

"My queen," said Donna, sensing that I was going to call it quits. We walked through central park as this occurred. I stopped on the footpath we were on. "Yeah?" "We'll keep an eye out if anything happens again. We're amazons. We're not new at watching man's world." I smiled and put a hand on her shoulder. "True." Donna then said, "As much I would love to use this super card on a shopping spree of the century...I think I'm agreeing with your thoughts instead." I raised a dark brow. "Oh? And what is that?" "You want to return to the island because this worship crap is bothering you."

It was. I gave a small nod. "Being a queen is one thing Donna; a god is another matter. Nonetheless, I'm glad you told me about this." "Of course." "Let's go home." "Yes my queen."

Royal palace; Themyscira

We returned via portal without delay. I went straight to the temple areas devoted to each of the gods; especially the goddesses that had been instrumental in the amazons' creation. Donna stayed with me as she typically would now. I still wanted to help those mortal women in man's world as superheroes and amazons as I said before...but I couldn't shake this worshiping thing.

We went to the rear of the temple area, whether the priestesses lived/prayed in seclusion when not dealing with their tribal sisters...and it was also here that future statues and other icons made to honor the gods were made.

One was covered. I pulled it away; I gasped. It was me. I looked at Donna; she smiled. It disappeared when I shot her a frown. "Do not blame her or anyone else here." It was Antiope from behind us. "Aunt - please tell me you had nothing to do with this." She walked up to us and didn't answer right away. "I'd be lying if I said I didn't." "Why?" She gave me a level gaze. "Because my queen - your mother's will required it in the event of her death - and she confirmed it to me directly in prayer from the afterlife since her death." I sighed heavily. "She should have discussed this with me first." "She was a queen Diana, as you now are. But we both knew...you had to be more. You are the first god queen of the amazons..."

I couldn't help it but a primordial anger surged up from my gut into my face. "No. I will not have this." Donna and Antiope shared a concerned look. "The senate has already voted on it..." said aunt. I scowled at her. "What the hell are you talking about? Why was I not informed?" "We would, when the time was right." "And when was that going to be?" "When the oracles-" "No! This shall be destroyed immediately. Do you both understand this?" If I ordered it didn't matter what the senate or oracles said. My word was law; lest I wasn't queen was I?

Antiope put a gentle hand on my arm. "Diana, listen to me - you are taking us all into the future. You will always be our queen - but you are a god as well. You must embrace this. Mighty Athena saw this too in all her wisdom. Would you go against the will of your patron?"

"General Antiope speaks wisely my queen," said Donna. "We are soon to make Themyscira a continental nation. You leading us into the future as our god queen will make all of this a reality. Please majesty - they must go together."

My fist clenched. I wanted to super punch...this monstrosity right here and now...and turn it to dust. But...what would it do to my sisters...? "How many will worship me?" "All of us, even your opponents," said Antiope. "You restarted this nation and now lead it. It is the will of almighty Zeus, your father, that has made this so. Please accept it."

My fist...opened again... Aunt/adviser hugged me at the same time.
