Lex slowly opened his eyes, it took a moment for his eyes to adjust to the light in the room. His head was swimming and as he tried to stand he felt sick. He felt someone touching his shoulder.
"Easy you may have a concussion." Hippolyta said.
"Highness are you okay?" Lex asked.
"I'm fine you on the other had need to rest." She said.
"Where are we?" Lex asked.
"I don't really know, but if I know Ares we are in grave danger." Hippolyta said.
"We need to get out of here." Lex said.
"Lex, your hurt you need to regain your strength." Hipployta
"We can't just stay here we need to get out." Lex said.
"Trust me son I don't plan on staying here long." She said.
Chloe and Diana were working their way throught the city towards the airfield. As they went they were forced to deal with some guards. Diana quickly took care of them and made sure that the guards would not follow them. They stopped when they got to a small clearing near the airfield.
"How are we going to get in there?" Chloe asked.
"We sneak our way in." Diana said.
"Well I got pratice in that." Chloe said.
"Great let's go." Diana said.
They ran across the field and then quickly climbed the fence and ran toward the hangers. Diana and Chloe stopped near a fuel pump and checked things out. That's when they saw somee of Diana's bodyguards.
"Those are your body guards aren't they?" Chloe asked.
"Yes do you think that we can trust them?" Diana asked?
"Right now we really don't have much of a choice." Chloe reminded her.
"Right, stay here and if anything happens to me run like hell." Diana said.
"Sure." Chloe said. Diana walked out from behind the pump and towards the guards. Diana headed toward the guards, one of them noticed her and pulled her sword and attacked her. Diana used her bracelets to deflect the blow. She then took the sword and used it to disarm the others.
"Now you have a choice you can stand with Ares your you can stand with me the choice is yours." Diana said.
"We are with you your Highness." One of them said.
"Good." Diana said the she turned and nodded to Chloe to come out.
"Now tell me what's going on?" Diana said.
"I don't know very much." The guard said.
"Tell us what you do know?" Chloe said.
"When Ariel discovered what your mother was planning on doing she go angry and swore that it would never happen. Trust me your highness that's all I know." She said.
"What is your name?" Diana asked.
"Leslie." She said.
"Leslie get as many troops as you can that are loyal to my mother and then head to Metropolis." Diana said.
"Yes your highness." Leslie said then she and her troops left.
"We don't have much time" Diana said.
"What do you mean?" Chloe asked
"They're going back to tell Ariel." Diana said.
"how do you know?" Chloe asked.
"Once a Amazon gives her word they will never break it. If she was with Ariel and Ares she will tell them." Diana said.
"We need to get back to Smallville" Chloe said.
"Yes but we can't take any normal transport." Diana said.
"Unless you can fly were pretty much screwed." Chloe said.
"Well…"Diana said.
Lois pulled her car to a stop in front of Lex's mansion. A large man dressed in a SWAT uniform walked over to the car.
"Hi, we need to get in and talk to who ever is in charge." Lois said.
"Sorry ,but no ones getting in." he said.
"We have information that people with high would what to know" Lois said.
"your not getting in there." The guard said.
"Excuse me sir but I'm a friend of the Queen's daughter." Clark said.
"Look your not getting in her and that all there is to it." The guard said.
"What's going on here?" Lex asked as he came toward the gate.
"Nothing sir I'm just trying to get rid of these kids." The guard said.
"Lex, it's me." Clark said.
"Let them in." Lex said.
"Sure." The guard said and then he let Lois and Clark in.
Lois parked her car, then her and Clark and Lex got out and walked toward Lex.
"So Clark what are you doing here?" Lex asked.
"We have information that could help us find Diana's mother." Lois said.
"Great, then let's head to the guest house that were we have the command center." Lex said. Lex lead the way for Clark and Lois. When they entered the guest house both Clark and Lois were confused no one was in the house. Both of them turned to find that Lex was no longer there. Standing in his place was Ares. Clark spun around only to be hit in the chest with a blast of enrgy. Clark flew and hit the wall then fell to the ground in a heap. Lois was was speechless, she had no idea what to do. The next thing she knew she felt a sharp and burning pain in her side. She fell to the ground. Ares smiled at his handywork and then he dissappered, after all he had work to do.
Chloe was still having a hard time keeping her eyes open. She slowly opened them and looked at the white clouds and blue skies that surrounded her. She knew that Diana had powers but this was something that she never expected, Diana to bee able to fly. She knew that this was wall of weird material, but at the moment shee had more important things to do.
"How can you do all this?" Chloe asked.
"It's a long story, but let's just say that I was blessed by the gods." Diana said.
"Promise me I get a exclusive." Chloe said.
"No problem but first we need to find my mother." Diana said.
Hippolyta had patched up most of Lex's wounds but he was still a bit out of it due to the hit to the head. They both had been working for hours trying to think of a plan to get out of the cell and away from Ares. Right now Lex was going over in his mind the information that Hippolyta had give him about the place.
From what she had told Lex they were in one of the old missile silos. As to which one she did not know. They could have been at anyone of the silos, there was over a hundred. Leex knew that only three of the silos were still use, so that meant that there were ninety-seven silos left. Only the military knew the locations of each silo.
Lex now felt that it was time to see what he had with him that could help them. He reached into his pocket and took out his cell phone. He was shocked to realize that someone like this Ares would over look that fact that Lex still had his cell. He quickly dialed a number and prayed for a response. He never got one, the signal was to weak to get out to anyone.
"ARRGHH" Lex screamed.
"What is it?" Hippolyta asked.
"They left me with my cell phone,but the signal won't reach anyone." Lex explained.
"Don't worry Mr. Luthor, the signal will reach some one soon enough." Ares saidl.
Lex spun around to find himself looking at a mirror image. Ares had morphed his body and features to look extacly like Lex.
"You see Mr. Luthor your phone will start the war that will end planet."
"What do you mean?" Hippolyta asked.
"It's simple my dear. Your death will make the gods angry and they will distory this planet in all out war." Ares said.
"What makes you think that the gods would get invole with this?" Hippolyta asked.
"Because of who Diana is, the gods won't allow it espieally Athena. She would beg her father for revenge." Ares said.
"Why Lex Luthor?" Hippolyta asked.
"It's his destiny, all the gods know it. If it's not done today it will happen in the future. This man will be responable for the final war this planet will wage. And of course the only person that had the powers to stop him is dead." Ares said.
Chloe and Diana landed just inside the Luthor estate. They were about to go inside when they noticed that the door to the guest house was open. They ran over to it and walked. The place looked as if some one had held a small war .Two of the walls were knocked down and windows were broken. Chloe noticed Lois' purse of the floor she picked it up and noticed that there was small burn marks on it.
"Lois?" she called out fear creeping into her mind. Diana noticed a hand buried under a crushed part of the wall. She began to dig when she got to a familiar red jacket.
"Chloe, over here." Diana called out. Chloe ran over and began to help dig Clark out of the rubble. Chloe noticed Clark' hand start to move.
" Stand back." Chloe said. A few moments later Clark stood up free from the debris.
"Clark what happened?" Diana asked.
" Can Ares shape shift?' Clark asked.
"Yes, he can." Diana said
"Then the real Lex is missing." Clark said.
"What were' s Lois?" Chloe asked.
"She was here when Ares attacked us." Clark said.
"Is might still be here." Chloe said. They began to look for her. They checked all over the house. Clark was drawn to a rubble, using his x-ray vision he checked the pile. He was horrified when he saw Lois' skeleton in the rubble. He ran towards it and quickly dug Lois out.
"Oh no." Clark said. Chloe and Diana ran to him.
"Clark, help her." Chloe begged. He picked Lois' lifeless body up.
"I'm taking her hospital." Clark said.
"Clark promise me that she'll be okay." Chloe said. Clark looked at Lois, then to Diana and back to Chloe. When Chloe saw Clark's unsure face she began to cry. Clark looked at Lois. For the first time he was unsure if he was going to keep his promise.
