Chapter 13: Jason's Story

Jason squeezed Diana's hand as he began his story. "I was brought to the Isle when I was five. On the way, the guards would beat me," he stated.

Hippolyta growled angrily. Diana tightened her grip on her brother's hand. She remembered carrying him home, how Persephone spent hours fussing over him. Hippolyta shot a glare at King Adam. Enraged, she approached him threateningly. "Not only do you take my daughter from me, but you allow your guards to abuse and mistreat my son?!" She snarled. Antiope caught her sister's arm, pulling the Amazon queen back gently but firmly.

"I was the second oldest on the Isle," Jason continued. "Diana and I, we were also allies on the Isle. Here in Auradon, we're just two twins, like it should be."

Diana moved closer to her brother. He pulled her into his side. She lifted her head. "On the Isle, I was the most beautiful girl, and, there, pretty girls," she turned and buried her face in Jason's chest.

"They're either killed or abused," Jason growled, his body shifting to a more protective stance. "I was Diana's protector. I have only failed once, and it was a mistake I will never make again."

Hippolyta's frown deepened. Her children were royalty, Diana, the heir of Themyscira, and Jason, the prince of the Amazons. And yet, King Adam thought he could get away with permitting others to treat them as if they were trash. It was enough to make her blood boil.

Antiope placed a calming hand on her sister's shoulder. Hippolyta only calmed slightly.

Jason shot a worried glance at his mother. Diana bit her lip.

Bruce Wayne picked that moment to speak up. "It was when Diana was kidnapped and tortured by most of the Isle?" He guessed, as he and Tom joined the VKs.

Hippolyta snarled. Jason nodded. "She didn't tell everything," he murmured. "I was forced to watch."

Jason began shaking in rage. "Chad, you claimed I enjoy watching others' pain," Jason pressed. "Well, I was eight years old and forced to watch helplessly as my twin sister, my best friend, was beaten, starved, and tortured, simply because our mother was a heroine, instead of a villainess. I hated it, and, gods, I wanted to kill them for touching Diana. Then two weeks after that, Hook's lackey, Smee, tried to drown Diana. Seven years after that, Claude Frollo tried to have our entire family murdered—Hades, Persephone, that's why winter lasted so long that year, we couldn't get Stepmother to the boats safely, Diana, me, Evie, Mal, Hadie, our cousins, Ursula, Morgana, Uma, Maxine, two children, Maera, and Carlos."

"Who is Maera?" Hippolyta asked.

"My eldest," Diana replied. "By blood, she is Queen Narissa's daughter but that witch could care less about her. Maera is my daughter. I named her. I clothed her. I fed her. I raised her."

"Where is she, on the Isle?" Ben asked.

"With Hunter and Regina, my guard tiger and lioness, as well as Uma and Maxine," Diana grinned sheepishly.

Hippolyta groaned, but pulled Jason and Diana into a tight hug. "Didn't your father ever say no to you two?" She asked.

"Papa never could say no to us, technically, we never belonged on the Isle, even though we were his children?" Diana answered, glancing at Jason, as she set her head on their mother's shoulder.

"The version of Hades we lived with, was not my and Diana's biological father, rather an alternate version," Jason revealed. "So how could he parent us when he wasn't truly our father?"

Hippolyta frowned at the twins. "Did anything good happen on the Isle, besides the fact you gave me three grandchildren, Diana?" She asked, nervously.

"Remember how, first day of fall, we'd all run to the docks?" Evie asked.

"Yeah, Papa would hold your hand, I had the baby, Jason had the next youngest, I also held Maera's hand, Mal held Hadie's hand, and we all waited for Stepmother's boat to pull in," Diana's eyes lit up happily.

"Come spring, we'll greet her in Auradon," Diana stated, eyes dancing. "And, Ben, Uma and Maxine have to come over with Maera, Hunter and Regina can come over after I graduate."

Hippolyta smiled, however still remaining slightly jealous of the close relationship her children had with their stepmother.
