Diana's P.O.V
"Is there anywhere we can talk in private?" Arthur growled. She rolled eyes and clenching her jaw, "follow me.'' we got up and followed her into the office. I noticed her beauty and sharp features, how her eye color that is similar to Arthur's, her slight muscular body type, a tattoo on her back, that was peeking through her top and how her eyes changed colors, when she saw Arthur, but changed when the boy came in. Shutting the door behind us, "now talk." she demanded, looking at Arthur. Before Arthur could speak, I answered. "We're looking for another member to join our team, a team of superheroes. Arthur was the one who mentioned you, while we were discussing the matter. Let me introduce myself, I am Diana Prince, Princess of Themyscira, Daughter of Hippolyta. I'm also known as Wonder Woman." I introduced myself, shaking her hand. "I am Sirena Curry, ex wife to Lord Grumpy Gills." Sirena explained and nodded towards Arthur, who glared at her, but I couldn't help but let out a laugh. I don't think anyone has the bravery to insult Arthur.
"So, Arthur brought me up, as another member to join your team and help save the world?" she asked and I nodded. "If you haven't noticed, I'm kinda not a superhero. I'm a mom, I go to PTA meetings, sports events and I help run this bar." Sirena responded. "Yes, he did. We were actually quite surprised when Arthur told us about you." I answered. "You don't have to look like a superhero to be one. All it takes is protecting the people around you and those you love and care about." I added. She nodded her head and turned to look at me and then at Arthur, "Hmm, I'm surprised he still remembers me after all these years." Sirena said, looking at Arthur with a glare. Letting out a sigh, "are you going to join us or not?" Arthur demanded, clearly not wanting to hear anymore. "Give me an answer on why I should join you Arthur? You haven't talked to me in forever and now you think you suddenly stroll in here after years apart, thinking everything is fine and ask for my help!" she snapped at him. Arthur didn't tell us what had happened between the two, all he said was that it ended badly. Studying her body language, her tone of voice and her facial expression, she's hurting. "Si.." Sirena cut him off. "No Arthur. You let someone get in your head and spread lies about me, lies that our people will never look at me the same again." Sirena fumed, as her eyes started to water. "Is the kid even mine?" Arthur asked, walking up to her, when another loud clap of thunder echoed the sky, uh oh. "Get out." she mumbled, not making eye contact with him. "What?" he questioned her. Looking up at Arthur, "I said, get out!" Sirena said a little louder, while shoving Arthur. "Get out. Get out. GET THE HELL OUT!" she hollered, using her strength and shoving Arthur straight into a wall, making the wall crack. Arthur looked up at Sirena in shock, but I was impressed by the amount of strength she had. Arthur got up and walked out the door, I got up and walked over to Sirena, "If you change your mind, here is my number. Ignore Arthur, think about the people you're saving. Just think about it, please." I advised, placing the card in her hand. Sirena nodded her head, as I gave her a small smile, before walking out.
Sirena's P.O.V
I couldn't believe he would ask that! Of course Kai is Arthur's son! Can he not see the resemblance, they're basically twins and it scars the hell out of me. But I did feel bad for how I was acting in front of Diana. Kai had already gone home a couple of hours ago, I was cleaning up the bar and putting the 'Close' sign up, I sat down at the bar with a bottle of beer in my hands. I started chugging half the bottle. "Sirena." I looked up and saw Bob and Rita. I gave them a weak smile, "hey." I greeted them, knowing they could sense I'm not ok. "Are you going to tell us what happened? Don't think we haven't noticed a giant crack in the wall." Bob said, grabbing himself a beer. Bob and Rita are the only ones who know the real me, my situation and what abilities I possess. They found me stumbling around in the middle of the street a few years ago heartbroken, alone and pregnant. Since then, they treated Kai and I like we were part of their family. They gave me a job, helped me raise Kai and gave us a place to stay. Letting out a breath, "the big barbarian that came in earlier, that's Arthur, ex husband and the father of my precious son." stated, taking a swig of my beer. "I guess they're starting a team of superheroes and Arthur was the one who brought me up in their conversation. I don't know why though, I haven't used my abilities that much, except for teaching Kai. And for the crack in the wall, he asked if Kai was his. Is he blind? They're twins! And I forgot about my strength, I pushed him into it. I felt bad for how I was acting in front of Diana though." I added, feeling a stray tear escaping from my eye. Rita put a hand on my shoulder, "don't let that man get to you. I think you should take up her offer, prove to him what he has missed over the years and how a wonderful mother you are and the terrific son you raised. But, when you are ready, give her a call." Rita encouraged, making me smile a little bit. "Hell, half the men that come in here are afraid to get on your bad side, after throwing the rowdy ones out on their asses and I don't even blame ya'." Bob added, making Rita and I chuckle.
I chugged the rest of my beer and took some money out of my pocket and placed it on the bar to cover the bottle of beer and the damage to the wall. I got up and grabbed my jacket, before Rita stopped me. "Rena, just think about it on a clear mind." she pleaded and I nodded. "I will. Goodnight." I said before leaving, hearing a couple of goodnight's as I walked out. I entered my apartment and I walked towards Kai's room, noticing the light peaking through the door. "Hey Bud." I said, leaning against the door frame. He looked up from whatever he was drawing, "hey Mom." he said with a smile on his face. Looking around his room, drawings decorated all over the walls. Drawings of the ocean, marine animals, his version of Atlantis, my parents, Arthur, Arthur's father and a drawing of Queen Atlanna. "I have something to ask and I want your opinion." I asked my son. "Sure, only if you answer my questions." Kai suggested, with a smirk. I walked over to his bed and sat down, "so, what if I got an offer to save the world, how would you feel about it?" I asked. Kai was silent for a moment, before he spoke up. "Does this mean we have to move and leave Aunt Rita and Uncle Bob?" he asked and I shook my head no. "It's only temporary?" he asked again. "I don't know. I kind of lost my temper, before I got any answers." answering him. "I think you should do it." Kai encouraged, with a smile on his face. "Really?" I asked, making sure I heard him right and he nodded yes. "Now, it's my turn to answer your questions." I stated, keeping my part of the deal. "The guy that came in earlier today, was that my dad?" Kai asked. Of course I told him about Arthur. I told Kai that once he's old enough, he can go out and look for Arthur, only if he wants to. His choice. I nodded my head, "yes, that was your father." I answered. "Does he want you to join?" he asked again. "Kind of. He just brought me up as a suggestion, I guess." I said and Kai nodded. "I still think you should do it." Kai suggested. Getting up, I placed a kiss on the top of his curly head. "Don't stay up too late. I love you." I said, before walking towards the door. "Ok, goodnight. I love you too, Mom." Kai called out, before I walked out of his room. Walking into my room, I started to think that Diana is right, fighting and protecting the people around me. Taking Diana's number and my phone out of my pocket, contemplating on if I should give her a call now or later. Making up my mind about everything, I'll call her when I have my mind made up. I'll do this for Kai.
