This story, Amazon Hawk, was the result of two of my desires, to write a Diana/Shayera story, and to have Harry raised by either one. That said I began this as a Wrong-Boy-Who-Lived story, though if anyone adopts this they could change it. I made Harry a girl, not only because I like FemHarry stories, but because I wanted her to be an Amazon, which kind of requires it.

The idea is that Diana, Shayera, and Aella are on an island, not far from Themyscira. I don't remember if I put the island as being frozen in time, allowing for seventeen years to pass, or if I had the goddesses travel back in time., regardless, Shayera and Diana, due in part to spending so much time together raising Aella and in part to Aella's desire to see her 'parents' together enter into a relationship. Anyway, I hope someone adopts this as some point.

And the notes not in bold before the prologue were my original noes so that I remembered how to spell everything.

Hecate, goddess of magic, Aphrodite, Hera, Artemis, Athena

Shayera Hol and Diana of Themyscira, Aella "Whirlwind." Greek myth name of an Amazon warrior who was killed by Herakles. She was known for wielding a double-axe.

Prologue

0000000000

The seven founders of the Justice League were gathered around a long conference table as they held a monthly management meeting for the League. Superman, Clark Kent or Kal-El, depending on who you asked, stood at the head of the table, presiding over the meeting. Batman, Bruce Wayne, sat to the Man of Steel's right, while the Martian Manhunter, J'onn J'onzz, sat to his left. Beside Batman sat Diana of Themyscira, Wonder Woman, Princess of the Amazons. To her right was the Flash, Wally West. Next to J'onn sat John Stewart, a member of the Green Lantern Corps. And on his left, was Shayera Hol, Hawkgirl.

Superman was in the middle of discussing a charity ball to raise necessary funds to run the Watchtower, since it would be suspicious if Bruce Wayne donated too much to the cause, when in a blinding light, Diana and Shayera disappeared, sending the remaining five founders into a panic.

The two women reappeared on an island, in a rather undignified way as they had been sitting when they had been transported.

"What the Hell!" Shayera demanded, jumping to her feet and drawing her nth metal mace. She looked over at the Amazon, "Do you have any idea what just happened?"

Diana, climbing to her feet herself, said, "Not a clue." Warily looking around for any threats, she studied their surroundings. "Though this place strongly reminds me of Themyscira."

"That is because it is not that far away from your home."

The two hero's turned to face the speaker. Only to be met by a small group of women.

Women Diana instantly recognized.

The speaker, Hera, goddess of marriage and family and Queen of the Gods, stood at the front of the group. On either side of the Queen of Olympus stood Artemis, goddess of the hunt, virginity, childbirth, and all animals; Athena, goddess of wisdom, handicrafts, defense and strategic warfare; Aphrodite, goddess of love, beauty, and desire; Demeter, goddess of fertility, agriculture, nature, and the seasons; Persephone, wife of Hades and Queen of the Underworld; and Hecate, goddess of magic.

And cradled in the arms of Hera, was a small, black-haired babe, resting peacefully, unaware of her surroundings.

Shayera was about to retort, when Diana stopped her by kneeling before the women. "Goddesses, why have you brought us here?" she asked respectfully.

The Thangarian's eyes widened as she realized what Diana had said, and to whom they were addressing.

"Rise Diana," Hera instructed. "We have brought the two of you here, to both bestow a gift, and give a task."

"What task is this?" Shayera asked, not really comfortable with the goddesses.

Hera smiled, "The task we would give to you, is simply a side effect of the gift." She looked down at the babe she held. "This child, is destined to be a hero. Sadly, her parents have abandoned her, and she needs someone to raise her and prepare her for her eventual destiny." Looking back at the two heroes of Earth, Hera added, "We have chosen you two to care for her."

"Us?" Shayera asked irritably. "What's the catch?"

"Shayera," Diana reprimanded. "Manners, these are goddesses."

"Peace," Hera said. "It is good that your companion asks questions Diana. And there are four catches. First, blood must be taken from you both, and given to the child, she will then be your own blood. This is the gift we give. The second, you will not be allowed to leave this island until the girl's seventeenth year..."

"WHAT!" Shayera yelled. "You expect us to stay here for seventeen years! Are you insane?"

The goddesses each glared at Shayera, along with Diana. The effect was rather intimidating.

Hawkgirl gulped, "Shutting up now."

"That would be a wise action," Athena said coolly.

"As I was saying," Hera continued, "you will not be allowed to leave this island until the girl's seventeenth year, she has already passed her first. During these sixteen-years, you Shayera, will not age. And I assure you, to your friends in the Justice League, it will hardly seem as though any time has passed at all. Fourth, we," Hera indicated her fellow goddesses, "will not only each give a gift to the child, but we will also drop in on occasion to teach the girl ourselves. And lastly..."

"I get to marry you two," Aphrodite interrupted with a smirk.

"WHAT!" both heroes protested.

"Aphrodite!" Hera chastised, though judging by the faint smirk on her face, she found the mortal's reactions amusing. "Aphrodite is joking," Hera assured them. "Though we would happily marry you two, and bless your union if you wished. But the fourth condition is that, when you return to your time, you allow her to join your Justice League."

Diana looked over at Shayera. "I can live with those conditions, but what about our needs here?"

"There is a villa at the center of this island. Everything you will need will be provided. There will even be a tablet, with which you can request items, though you will have to go without electricity for the duration of your stay," Hera explained.

Shayera sighed. "I suppose I agree."

"Very good." From within the folds of her gown, Hera pulled a small knife. "Prick your fingers, and smear your blood upon the girl's forehead, we will do the rest.

The two heroines did as instructed, leaving two lines of blood upon the girl's brow, and giving curious glances to the lightning bolt shaped scar upon it. Then the goddesses surrounded the girl and began to speak together.

"Child take this blood as your own, take this blood as your parents."

Then each of the goddesses spoke alone, beginning with Hera. "I give you the gift of family, of the Amazons, that you shall share their strength, resilience, and reflexes, and that of the Thangarians, that you shall share their sight, their ears, and their wings."

"I give you, the chance to find true love." Aphrodite.

"My gift to you is a keen mind, that you may learn quickly, and remember all." Athena.

"I give to you a companion, a loyal familiar." Artemis.

"From me you receive this nth battle-axe, forged by Hephaestus himself." Demeter.

"No wand or other focus will you need for magic, this shall be my gift unto you." Hecate.

"My gift, is to take away the soul piece bound to you, yet not your own, and to remove the blemish it formed from your skin." Persephone.

And as Persephone finished speaking, Hera turned to Shayera and Diana. "The child's name is now Aella Rose Hol."

Before either of the two heroines could respond, there was a bright, blinding flash of light. And when the two heroines could see once more, the goddesses had disappeared, leaving the little girl behind.

A perfectly white falcon was nestled against the black-haired girl, and small white wings now sprouted from her back. And while little Aella slept, her hand rested upon the handle of a magnificent, double-headed battle-axe.
