Usually the next chapter after an episode is completed would be the Aftermath but I'm skipping one this time and going straight to the next episode. I want to thank Celgress and superfan for reviewing last chapter. On a sadder note by now everyone knows that Stan Lee has passed away and even though this is primarily a D.C. story it still has an important Marvel character in a leading role Storm whom the world wouldn't have if it wasn't for someone like Stan Lee creating the characters that changed the world and shaped most of our childhoods.

Thank you Stan Lee for creating worlds were anyone could be a super hero.

I still own nothing but the plot

Normal pov

In the nearby city of Beach City a tropical storm was blowing throughout the city fishing stores were getting attacked by large waves, and it was near impossible to walk outside without losing you umbrella. On top of that a news stand gets completely torn apart due to the weather.

"As feared tropical storm Gardner has been upgraded to Hurricane Gardner Metropolis citizens are warned to take immediate shelter." Snapper Carr reports as the hurricane rages on. "Roads are open to emergency vehicles only."

Speaking of emergency vehicles a fire truck was quickly driving through the streets when two fire fighters received a call from the radio. "Unit 79 respond to overturned vehicle at fifth and Brian." The radio finishes saying.

"It never rains but it pours." The driver says with a sigh as he starts driving the truck to where they needed to go unfortunately a stop sign is crashed through the windshield of the fire truck causing it to lost control and nearly fall off of a bridge. "Out the back hurry!" The driver yells to his partner so that he could get out as soon as he could but as soon as the other fire fighter moves to the back door the truck tips over the bridge.

The two fire fighters were sure that they were going to meet their doom when Superman flied in and stops the truck from falling any further but then one of the fire fighters began to fall out of the truck Superman was able to catch the fire fighter but couldn't focus on both holding the truck and saving the fire fighter. "Hang on!" Wonder Woman yells now using her lasso to keep the truck from falling while Superman held onto the fire fighter, together they were able to lower the truck to the ground saving both the fire fighters and their truck.

"Man that was close." The fire fighter that Superman saved says once they were down on the ground.

"Are you guys okay?" Superman asked.

"A little worse for wear but okay." The driver says getting out of the truck, all seems well with the fire fighters now safe when a shout is heard out of nowhere.

"Mommy!" A little girl clearly shouts Wonder Woman turns to see a little girl stuck in a tree. "Mommy help!" The little girl shouts again the winds from the hurricane uprooting the tree that the girl was on and tipping it over, quickly flying into action Wonder Woman saves the girl before the tree crashes down.

"I've got you little sister." Wonder Woman says to the little girl now in her arms.

"You're not my sister!" The little girl in her arms counters back, Wonder Woman flies the little girl to her mother whom is relieved to see her daughter safe.

"Cassie!" The mother proclaims once she sees her daughter.

"Mommy!" Cassie shouts running into her mother's arms.

"How could you run off like that you almost scared me half to death?!" The mother scolds her daughter.

"I'm sorry." Cassie says to her mother.

"I don't know what I'd do if anything happen to you." The mother says hugging Cassie tightly. "You're my whole world." The mother and daughter go back into the house leaving Wonder Woman alone whom was so busy watching the whole exchange that she didn't notice the traffic light that was about to fall onto of her luckily though Superman say it coming and pushed her out of the way just as the hurricane suddenly stopped.

"You're usually more careful then that?" Superman asked in surprise looking at his teammate, before she could answer though Storm flew down from the sky having put an end to the dangerous hurricane.

"I don't normally like to end storms brought out by Mother Nature but I'm sure we can all agree that the damage has gone on long enough." Storm states once she lands in front of her two teammates. "What's wrong?" Storm asked already sensing that something was up.

"Wonder Woman almost got hit from a falling traffic light." Superman explains before Wonder Woman can speak.

"It's not like you not to be careful Diane?" Storm states now curious herself. "What happened?"

"I was just…I don't know." Wonder Woman says unusually sheepish all of a sudden.

"What's wrong?" Superman asked.

"My mother used to say the planets revolved around me…she'd call me her little sun and stars." Diane began to explain. "You know I left Themyscira against her wishes."

"Maybe you should go back and set things right." Superman suggests seeing how much this was bothering his teammate.

"But what would I say to her?" Diane asked feeling a bit hopeless.

"Try the truth." Superman says.

"If only it were that easy." Diane states a bit sadly facing away from her teammates.

"Diane." Storm states calmly but forcefully making the other woman turn back to face her. "My own parents perished before they even got the chance to see me go against their wishes with anything more serious then stealing extra desserts and Kal-El…well you know his story."

"Go talk to your mother Diane while you still have the chance." Superman said while pulling Storm closer to his chest. "If not for her sake then at least to give you some peace of mind."

"You're right, I can't put it off any longer." Diane states and begins to walk away from the couple.

"When will you be back?" Superman asked before she could completely walk away.

"I don't know." Diane states before flying away from the couple.

Cut to Clark's apartment

After the couple had finished helping clean up after the hurricane was over they now found themselves back in Clark's apartment relaxing after a hard day's work or at least trying to relax.

"I'm sure she will be okay." Ororo proclaims after a while having notice that Clark was barely watching the TV clearly deep in thought about what happened earlier.

"But are you okay?" Clark asked taking his girlfriend by surprise.

"Me? Why wouldn't I be?" Ororo asked a raised eyebrow dawning on her face.

"It's just that I can't help but to feel a bit selfish. When Diane first brought up her mother I was a bit jealous because I would never be able to just fly back to my Kryptonian parents but then I realized that even though Krypton is destroyed if I need to talk to a parent I can just fly to Smallville and as sad as it is for Bruce he still has Alfred and his parent's grave. But you're not from this world you don't have any family to turn to here and that makes me feel even more selfish because…" Clark began to trail off facing away from her. "Because for you to be with them you'd have to be away from me."

"Clark you don't have to feel guilty for being happy that I'm in this world." Ororo says shaking her head at him. "I've already come to terms with it, besides even if I were back in my world I wouldn't have a grave to visit my parents anyway. All I had left was my team and while I can't say that I don't miss them I'm also building a team and hopefully a family here now." Ororo was about to lean in to kiss Clark when she noticed that something was still troubling him. "What's wrong now?"

"You know between Aquaman cutting off his own arm to save his son and Diane missing her own mother I just…there's something…I mean we've been together for a while and we've never really discussed having or even really wanting kids." Clark finally manages to say in a rather nervous tone. "We don't have anything figure out in that regard."

"Well at least we have another seven months to figure something out." Ororo said with a smirk watching the shocked look break out onto Clark's face.

"Ororo are you…" Clark couldn't even finish his sentence as he stood up and began to mutter to himself while pacing around in the room only to stop when Ororo started to laugh.

"Clark relax it was just a joke!" Ororo explains while still laughing. "Besides you're the one with super hearing if I was pregnant you'd probably know before I did." Though it was meant to be a joke Ororo couldn't help but to feel bad over the look of sorrow that was now placed on Clark's face. "Clark it's okay I mean it may not be now but down the line eventually-"

"It may never happen Ororo." Clark said interrupting her sentence. "It's something that I had tested a long time ago Kryptonian DNA just isn't compatible enough with human DNA to guarantee for…offspring. Granted you aren't a regular human but a mutant which makes the chances a little bit better but…I don't know yet if we should get our hopes up."

"Oh." Ororo says evenly trying to hold in her own sadness, though now wouldn't have been a great time for the couple to have a child between their regular lives and their lives as super heroes it was still sad to think that they might never be able to make their own children in the future.

"I'm so sorry Ororo." Clark says apologetically moving to hug her close.

"It's okay we have such busy lives right now." Ororo finally says gently hugging him back. "And it's not like we even officially live together in one apartment."

"Ororo." Clark just says holding his girlfriend even tighter.

Cut to Diane

Whom is now flying one of the team's jets and trying figure out what she was going to see when she was face to face with her mother once more. "You look more radiant than ever, Mother (whispers) no." Diane tries to practice. "Gone, Mother? I didn't go anywhere. I was in my room... alone... for eight months. (Whispers) Definitely not. The world was in peril! Would you have me stand by and do nothing...? (Whispers) Hera give me strength." Diane says now done practicing what she would say to her mother, after hours of flying she finally sees her home coming into view. "Home at last." Diane said happily only to suddenly notice that Themyscira seemed to be burning down.

She lands the jet in the middle of the island and finds that things are much worse than she originally thought. Themyscira is not only in ruin but the amazon warriors had been turned into stone, much to Diane's dismay. "By the goddess!" Diane could only say as she stares at her former sisters whom seemed to have been battling someone before they were turned to stone, her searching leads her to the palace. "Mother." Diane says as she quickly flies above the stairs in hopes of locating her mother. Diane flies around the throne room calling out for her mother but only finds more of her amazon sisters turned to stone. Diane keeps searching the palace until she finally sees that her mother too was turned into a stone statue. "Mother! No forgive me I should have been here to protect you." Diane says in despair as she touches her mother's stone face falling to her knees tears rolling down her cheeks. "I should have-" Diane's sentence is paused when she noticed a figure coming up from behind her that she sees through a shield on the ground.

Picking up the shield Diane throws it at the unknown figure knocking him down. "Who are you?" Diane demanded from the unknown figure.

Instead of answering the figure muttered a spell and began to attack Diane luckily she was able to block the attacks with her bracelets and dodge every attack. Diane manages to get behind her attack picks up one of the fallen pillars and throws it at him though he was able to dodge it, Diane then charges towards the figure punching him hard enough to send him flying. "How dare you defile this sacred ground?" Diane states forcefully holding the figure up by his collar.

"Wait!" The figure yelled before she could punch him again. "Harm me and the others will remain as they are cold hard stones."

"Who are you?!" Diane asked forcefully still holding the man tightly in her grip. "Talk!"

"My name is Faust. Felix Faust I'm a humble student of the mystic arts." Faust explained to Diane with a slimy smile on his face.

"Why did you attack my sisters?" Diane demanded to know.

"They left me no choice. I had to defend myself." Faust explains sheepishly.

"By turning them to stone!" Diane shouts in anger lifting him up even higher by his collar.

"I came here in pursuant of ultimate knowledge to gain this I must find the fragments of an ancient sacred relic. The first piece was here on this island." Faust pauses seeing the look on Diane's face.

"Go on." She tells him.

"I'll make you a deal." Faust continues on to say. "I'll restore your sisters if you help me get the other fragments."

"Why should I believe you?" Diane asked suspiciously.

Faust then uses his powers to summon a stone with a Medusa head craved inside of it. "A small demonstration." Faust states before pointing the stone towards Queen Hippolyta turning her back to her former self.

"Mother!" Diane yells letting go of Faust and running towards her mother.

"Diane?" Queen Hippolyta said in surprise turning to look at her daughter. "Athena heard my prayers and sent you."

"I'm so sorry Mother." Diane says shamefully.

"What a touching reunion." Faust interrupts calling attention towards himself.

"The intruder we must stop him." Queen Hippolyta states picking up her sword to attack Faust once more. "We must-" Whatever the Queen was about to say was cut off when Faust quickly turned her back to stone much to Diane's disbelief.

"Monster!" Diane cries out rushing towards Faust. "Give me that!" She said trying to take the Medusa stone from his had but he makes it disappear before she could.

"I need your answer. Will you help me?" Faust asked once more.

Diane in her anger was about to punch Faust once more but when she turns back to look at her mother again she knew she couldn't do it. "What kind of man are you?"

"A practical one." Faust said while summoning up and hourglass. "You have twenty four hours to bring me the rest of the fragments otherwise your unfortunate mother will remain like this forever."

"And where will I find these relics?" Diane questions forcefully.

"These gems are attuned to the mystic vibrations of each fragment." Faust explains while holding up the gems for Diane to see. "They will lead the way." He tells her handing the gems over to her.

"He'd my words Faust if you break your vow, no magic in the universe can save you from me." Diane threatens forcefully.

"I'd hurry if I were you the meter is running." Faust just says pointing to the hourglass.

Diane wordlessly leaves the throne room gets back to the jet and flies away. Leaving Faust to watch as she left Themyscira once again now to find the fragments and save her mother and sisters. Faust walks back into the throne room and summons a floating flame. "Faust! Why do you linger there?!" A voice demands from the flaming circle.

"A change in plans my lord." Faust begins to explain.

"What?!" The voice yells in anger.

"The relics are protected by powerful forces why should I risk my neck when someone else can get them for me?" Faust finishes explaining.

"If you fail me it's not your neck you'll need to worry about." The voice coolly states.

"The prize will soon be ours with the help of the Amazon Queen's own daughter." Faust explains.

Cut to jet

Though Diane had agreed to gather the fragments she still didn't trust Faust so she decided to call Batman for more information. "Batman it's Diane I need some background information on a man named Faust Felix Faust." She explains to him. "He's some kind of sorcerer."

"Care to tell me what's going on?" Batman asked.

"I'm sorry I have to go." Diane says when she notices that one of the gems is reacting to what is most likely a fragment nearby.

"Computer track coordinates of Javelin Seven." Batman says to the computer once Diane had hung up.

Meanwhile Diane now found herself landing the jet just outside of the Museum of Natural History. Diane walks through the museum with a gem in hand as she searches for the fragment when the gem finally leads her to a vase. Diane unknowing trips the alarm system causing the museum to go into lookdown mode much to her surprise. "First things first." Diane says knowing that she doesn't have much time she quickly breaks the vase so that she could get the relic inside. "Why would Faust want this?" Diane asked herself when she had the fragment in her hand, unbeknownst to her a giant stone gladiator had come to life when she took the fragment. Diane though was able to hear the stone statue move and when she turned around she saw the gladiator raising it's sword about to attack her. "Great Gaya!"

Diane flies out of the way just as the gladiator was about to bring his sword down upon her. Diane then uses her lasso to try and pull the sword away from the stone gladiator but instead he uses the momentum to pull Diane towards himself and punch her with his free hand knocking her back. The statue moves to attack her with it's sword again but Diane was able to fly out of the way. In her haste to get out of the statues way she had dropped the fragment and it was now clenched in the statue's hand. "No! Give that back! I must have it!" Diane yelled trying to get the fragment back but is unable to unclench the statue's fist. The statue though continues to swing it's sword at Diane which she luckily dodges the statue punches her again knocking her back once more and causing a lot of damage to the museum. When she doesn't get back up the statue begins to walk over to where she landed.

The statue begins to poke around where Diane had fell seeing no movement he thought that she was more than likely dead. He moves to walk away when Diane suddenly stands back up holding a pillar. "I am Diane Princess of the Amazons! I won't be denied!" Diane says with determination holding the pillar above her head Diane throws it at the statue at its knee causing it to finally crumble at it's leg. With the gladiator's leg now gone the statue is unbalanced and Diane is finally able to defeat the statue and get the relic though at great damage to the museum.

"Diane! What's going on?" Superman asked out of nowhere him and Storm flying in from a hole on the ceiling.

"This is not your concern." Diane tells her two teammates forcefully much to their surprise.

"When my friends start tearing up museums it becomes my concern." Superman counters back.

"We were also supposed to come here on Saturday." Storm adds in coolly.

"We've already alerted the others when they get here they'll want an explanation." Superman continues to say.

"And one sooner rather than later will be best." Storm adds on.

Diane sighs but knows she has no choice but to explain herself when Flash and J'onn quickly make their way over to the other heroes. "Of course I don't trust this Faust, but what else can I do?" Diane states after she finishes explaining what was going on to the league.

"I say we go back and kick that wimpy sorcerer's butt!" Flash says with determination.

"No, men are forbidden from ever setting foot on Themysirca." Diane explains.

"Somebody should have told him that." Flash reasons.

"Besides I gave my word that I would find the other relics." Diane continues to explain.

"These relics must be very powerful though?" Storm questions. "If just one of them is being guarded then the others will be as well."

"I'm afraid that leaves us with one course of action." J'onn said evenly. "We'll have to help you."

Though Diane was hoping to do this mission on her own she is relieved to get help from her teammates.

Cut to the rain forest

Flash and J'onn where getting off of their jet heading towards a Mayan temple where one of the fragments was being held.

"Picture it - The sun. The sea. Hundreds of women just like her running around, and me the first man they've seen in... oh, maybe forever." Flash explains as J'onn uses the gem to search for the fragment. "Oh, and look what I brought: Iced mochas for everyone! Sweet."

"I fail to see the attraction." J'onn states evenly.

"Man, you really are from Mars." Flash said with a smirk.

"Perhaps we should concentrate on finding the relic." J'onn suggest.

"No problem." Flash then grabs the gem, speeds into the temple, and returns carrying the pot with the relic. "See? That was easy." Flash says when suddenly a giant fire breathing snake emerges from the ground. "Or not."

Cut to Wonder Woman, Superman and Storm

The three heroes were flying through the skies of Metropolis when the gem in Diane's hand started reacted to the fragment nearby.

"There must be some mistake." Superman says in disbelief.

"No according it's in there." Diane states.

"That certainly is an interesting place to put it." Storm says as the three of them fly down to the Metro Mall.

"It's like some kind of temple." Diane says as she walks through the mall with the gem in her hand.

"Yes, for those who worship their credit cards." Superman states.

"How can any female wear such ridiculous garments?" Diane asked looking at the women's fashion.

"You got me." Superman answers.

"Although some outfits have their appeal." Storm states stopping at a window with a long red backless dress.

"Don't you already have something like that?" Superman asked turning look at his girlfriend.

"I did… until you ripped it to shreds." Storm says with a sly smirk walking away from the window.

"Guess I really liked the dress." Superman whispers following after Storm, he uses his x-ray vision and is able to locate the fragment. "There it is." Superman said then begins to tunnel his way into the ground so that he could get the fragment. With the fragment now in hand Superman flies over to Diane and Storm handing the fragment over to Diane.

"Why would it be buried here?" Diane questions surprised by the location.

"I don't know. I'd say it's been here a very long time." Superman answers.

"Someone went to a lot of trouble to make sure these pieces were never disturbed." Diane says examining the piece in her hand.

"It's just as I thought before." Storm says pondering out loud when suddenly a giant white light flashed from the fragment knocking Superman and Diane down. "Kal? Diane?!" Storm shouts in surprise flying over to Superman. "Kal-El are you alright?" Storm asked helping him back up.

"I'm fine just a bit taken by surprise." Superman said still trying to clear his head.

"Okay I'll check on Diane." Storm said walking away from him just as she was about to help her teammate off of the floor Superman suddenly pushed Storm out of the way. "Superman what are you doing?!"

"It's a demon!" Superman explains pointing to Diane much to his girlfriend's confusion.

"I'll help you defeat that monster sister." Diane shouts flying towards Superman leaving Storm even more confused. "What have you done with Superman?" Diane questions the person she could only see as a demon punching him much to Storm's horror. "Answer me!" Instead of answering the demon just punched her knocking her back.

Cut back to Flash and J'onn

Whom were still battling the giant fire breathing snake. J'onn tried to take out the snake but was quickly knocked out. "J'onn!" Flash shout running towards his teammate. The snake tries attack the two with its fire breathing but Flash is able to move his arm at super speed to push the flames back towards the snake. "You're toast!" Flash shouts then using is super speed is able to get the snake chase after him and unknowingly get itself tied up in its own body. "You okay?" Flash asked after running back over to J'onn.

"You get the relic, I'll take care of the rest." J'onn says evenly standing back up, Flash runs over to get the relic when the snake moved to attack J'onn once more but this time he was able to punch said snake in the face knocking him out.

"Remind me to never get on your bad side." Flash states after he runs back to J'onn with the relic now in his hand.

Cut back to Metro Mall

Diane and Superman were still fighting each other and there was nothing that Storm could say to get them to stop. No matter how much Storm tried to end things Superman and Diane wouldn't stop.

Cut to Batman

Whom in searching for more background information about Faust lead him to a professor named Erlich. "Professor Erlich?" Batman asked the older man as he was trying to get inside of his building.

"No conferences without an appointment." Professor Erlich just says not even looking behind him to see whom was speaking to him. "See my secretary-aah!" Professor Erlich shouts in fear seeing a bat shadowed silhouette on his door when the lightning flashes, he finally turns around to see Batman landing in front of him.

"Tell me about Faust." Batman said evenly as a storm raged on behind him.

Cut back to Metro Mall

Diane and Superman were still struggling against each other until Superman managed to once again punch Diane back. Diane moves to take out her lasso when Storm decides to try to get them to stop fighting once more. "Enough you two have gone too far!" Storm said floating between the two unbeknownst to the Weather Witch though anything she said was translated to both parties as 'help me!' So when Storm grabbed a hold of the lasso to stop Diane from wrapping it around Superman all he could see was the demon he was fighting wrapping it's tail around his girlfriend.

"Storm!" Superman shouted trying to pull his girlfriend out of the demon's hold.

"Foul Demon!" Diane shouted trying to pull Storm away from the demon that was trying to take her away. "You will not harm my sister!"

"You're both going to harm me if you keep this up!" Storm shouts summoning up enough winds to push the two away from each other. "The relic must be causing this but how do I get them to stop!" Storm unfortunately doesn't have enough time to come up with a plan before the two other heroes started attacking each other once more.

Their fight continues on with Diane electrocuting Superman with power cords that she ripped from the wall, knocking him out a bit she uses this to her advantage and sends him crashing near the mall's large fountain. With the water beneath him showing their reflections Superman is finally able to see that the demon he was attacking was in fact his teammate. "Diane? Diane it's me!" Superman tries to reason now understanding what was going on, Diane though continues to attack him tossing him over her shoulder.

"Diane stop it's an ill-" Superman tries to reason but Diane could only see the demon she continues to attack and now Superman knowing that the demon he was fighting was Diane only blocks the attacks.

"Kal?!" Storm asked in surprise seeing that he was no longer fighting Diane.

"Get a mirror Storm!" Superman said as he continued to block the attacks. "She needs to see our reflections!"

Deciding to question his statement later Storm quickly flies into a department store and grabs one of their full length mirrors. She makes it back just in time to see Diane holding Superman by the collar. "I won't ask again! Where's Superman?!" Diane demanded and the demon pointed towards the mirror that Storm had set down and she was finally able to see that she was fighting Superman all along.

"I tried to tell you." Superman says now that the hold from the relic was off of them.

"I tried to tell you both." Storm says checking over Superman when Diane let him go. "And now I will never get in between the two of you when you're coming to blows."

"I'm so sorry." Diane said regretfully. "What kind of horrors have we unleashed?" She says out loud thinking about the relics.

"Oh no!" A voice shouts in dismay calling the attention of the three heroes who turned to see and old man with glasses in a security. "What am I supposed to tell the head of security about the damage?! I moved out of New York to get away from super hero damages!"

"Sorry Mr. Stan Lee?" Superman said after reading the security guard's name tag. "We promise we'll fix up the damage when we're done with our mission."

"Yeah right that's what all you Super Heroes say!" Stan Lee yells back shaking his head and walking away from the three heroes.

"You know I think I've seen that man before back home?" Storm states in a confused tone.

Cut back to Themysirca

Hours had passed and Diane still hadn't returned to the island much to the anger of Faust Lord. "Where is she Faust? Where is the Amazon Princess?!" The voice shouts from the flaming circle.

"Try to have patients my lord." Faust tries to reason with the flames.

"Patients! I have been patient for over three thousand years!" The voice yells causing the flames to nearly burn Faust.

"Forgive me. I simply meant that the relics would soon be here." Faust explains. "I feel it in my bones and then Lord Hades the world will be ours!"

"Indeed it will human." Hades states from the flames. "Indeed it will."

To be continued?!

A/n and that's the end of another chapter sorry it took longer to get but there seems to be some confusion as to if Paradise Lost comes before Injustice For All or if Injustice For All comes before this episode in the end I decided to just do this one first.
