A Hurculean Origin (The Sons of Amazonian)

The man formerly known as Wally but now known as Sah-Vi-Tah walked down the halls of Nanda Parbat. He had been summoned before Ra's Al Gual.

"Sah-Vi-Tah," Ras said as Sah-Vi-Tar entered the room in silence. "You have been doing well…." Ever since Sah-Vi-Tah had killed Mia Dreaden he had been going on assassin assignments, no hint of his former life coming through.

"Thank you," Sah-Vi-Tah said patiently.

"I have something I would like you to do," Ra's continued. "Your former friend, Rae – she's a threat to our organization. But her powers… we cannot match them."

"I don't understand; what does this have to do with me?" Sah-Vi-Tah asked. The very thought of Rae brought rage to him now, but he had to smirk at what he had become. What Rae never thought he could become, blind as she was to others.

"We have been experimenting with the Metamorphosis – the thing that created meta human's in the first place. We have been perfecting it, making it better… more powerful. Meta humans made with our Metamorphosis will be stronger, more powerful, and looking at your genetics, we believe we can make you a speedster."

"I would be as fast as The Flash," Sah-Vi-Tah commented.

"Faster," Ra's said. "I will not lie to you, it will be painful – to become a speedster, you are going to have to be shocked, experimented on. But we have figured it out. Are you on board?"

"Yes," Sah-Vi-Tah said, a smirk on his face.

"Then we will begin," Ra's said with a small smile. "Talia will show you the way," Talia had appeared in the room, taking Sah-Vi-Tah's hand, leading him away from her father.

"Nyssa, you're lurking in the shadows again," Ra's commented as his eldest daughter and latest assassin left; Nyssa stepped out into the light at this. "If you're going to tell me how the Justice League defeated White Martians, I have told you…"

"No," Nyssa said firmly, knowing her father did not want to hear that. "I need to talk about Wally."

"There is no Wally anymore, only Sah-Vi-Tah," Ra's snapped, Nyssa rolled her eyes.

"How can you give him that?" She persisted regardless, "The new Metamorphosis can kill him on contact. We should get rid of the virus completely, not use it."

"We need to make him a speedster," Ra's said simply. "The new Metamorphosis, with shock treatment, is what we need. You should be proud, you did get everything we need to make it. Now go, daughter." Ra's waved his hand and knew that was it.

She backed away but glared – something in her was changing because of Wally, but she did not know what to do about it.

-New Justice-

Sara was in Gotham, smirking at her boyfriend. The pair had taken out the Penguin together before retreating to the Batcave for the night.

"How's being Thomas Queen going?" Sara asked casually – they had brought Moira in and told her the whole truth about who Sara, Dinah, and Laurel were, surprised when she countered, stating she already knew they were the Canaries.

When they had told her about Thomas being alive though, and the new Thea – Moira had agreed to help them reclaim their identity and so the story went that when the Queens' Gabit sank, Thomas used the excuse to fake his death because he owed some bad people money. Thea Queen had found out and they used Thea to get him with Thea's death was put down to misinformation. Moira saying she had bailed both sides out of Thomas' fake debt, but now everyone was alive and well.

"Well the men on the job are joking about it," Thomas commented to Sara's question. "But everything seems good."

"Did you hear what happened when Donna went home?" Sara asked, noticing the face Thomas made at the vague reference to Themyscira. She did not understand Thomas' hate of the Amazonians. "Donna lost on purpose and then discovered she has a brother. She wants to look for him."

Thomas froze at that. "Wait no," Thomas said instantly. "We need to stop her. She can't go to Herculea!"

Thomas was heading for the zap tunnel at that, as Sara was confused.

"Tommy?" Sara said grabbing the man. "Herculea? What?" Thomas seemed to realized he had said too much. "I think you need to explain." Sara folded her arms as Thomas paused, seeming unwilling to reveal more. "If you want me to help you, to stop Donna, you'll explain."

Thomas sat back down, sighing.

"Okay." He said simply. "The night the boat sank," Thomas said and Sara realized this was serious. "I got to a life boat. I was calling for you, but the boat was coming down and I needed to go before it was too late… but the life boat… with the weather… it was out of control…. I don't know how long I was at sea. I know I went very far when I washed ashore…"

-About 13 years Ago-

Thomas knew the boat was on land, but he was weak and malnourished. He was also hurt. If someone didn't find him, he knew he was going to die...

That was when he saw movement and felt someone pick him out of the boat.

"Drink," a male voice said, and Thomas felt something on his lips. He drank the liquid, expecting water but was surprised by a sweet taste. It made him feel better though. It brought back some of his strength.

"Where am I…?" Thomas asked.

"You are on Herculea," the male said.

"My boat… it sank… I need a phone," Thomas groaned, his throat still sore despite the liquid, he trying to get up but the man put a hand on him to stop.

"We have no… phones," the man said. "You are on Hurculea, the Hurculean Island. The gods have led you here for a reason. For now, we get your strength back," The man picked Thomas up as if he was nothing, although Thomas wasn't surprised he must have been thin and weak. The other man led him to a settlement on the Island.

-Present Day-

"What…?" Sara asked, hearing the tale.

"When the Amazonians have sons, they abandon them," Thomas said simply, standing up and angry. "They throw them in the mortal world. When the Queen, Donna's mother, gave her son over to Zeus though, he made a new Island for the males – Herculea, named after the original son of Zeus – and he found all the male Amazonians lost without purpose. Zeus gave them a home. They might not have the destiny the females, have but they are strong and have their own purpose. They saved me Sara, they trained me. I am who I am today because of them."

"That's great," Sara said, not quite understanding the burden of this. "Do you know Donna's brother?" Thomas remained silent at this request though. "Tommy?" Sara was stern. "If you're not going to tell me as your girlfriend, tell me as third in command of the Justice League."

"The one who took me from the boat. Jace," Thomas said. "He is Donna's brother. He is also leader of Herculea."

"So, tell Donna," Sara said simply. "What? Thomas, I don't get it. Why hate her? Why hate the Amazonians?"

"They abandon their sons!" Thomas stated, angry. "They leave them for nothing and couldn't care if they died. They don't deserve anything. They are sexist, hating males."

"That's not Donna," Sara said reasonably, knowing the female well.

Putting a hand on Thomas shoulder to calm him, Sara said, "You know little Arthur?" Thomas nodded with a small smile. He had met Laurel's adopted son and loved the little man. "When the Aquas came to us for help to save him, Donna volunteered without a second thought. She nearly died to save that little boy and bring him to land." Thomas frowned, not having known that. "I have seen her save and protect men and woman alike. Diana did too."

"It doesn't change the fact they abandon their sons," Thomas added.

"Technically, neither Diana or Donna have abandoned a son," Sara pointed out making Thomas pause. "Neither are mothers. Should the deeds of the parents punish the child? She wants to find her brother, but if you're stuck on this, let's ask her."

Sara opened a zap tunnel to Watchtower, taking Thomas' hand and bringing him through.

Rae, Kara, the Aquas, and Donna were in the Watchtower; there was a screen of a map of the world, clearly showing where they were looking to try to find Donna's brother, but only Donna and Selena were really looking through it as Rae was talking to Kaldur.

"I still don't get it," Rae said, looking at Aqualad. "Why did you choose the human name Jack?" Rae was laughing and so was Kara.

"Jackson," Aqualad corrected. "And Kaldur didn't work so…"

"We picked up a big book of babies names, opened a page and pointed," Selena said airily next to Donna – that just made the group laugh some more. "But I like it. Jackson and Selena Hyde. Sounds nice."

"Wait… you two have the same last name? Did you guys just make your human identities married from the off?" Kara asked, and the two nodded. "Well that's one way to avoid a wedding." Rae gave Kara a look at that and Kara kissed her girlfriend's cheek playfully.

"Sorry Donna," Rae said, seeing Sara and Thomas finally and giving them a nod. "But there's just not enough information. I will keep the system looking, but for all we know your brother is long-dead."

Donna was clearly sad at this comment as Rae gave her a hug.

"Donna?" Sara said making Donna look to her. "Why did your mom give your brother up?"

"She had no choice," Donna said. "Males are not allowed to live on Themyscira."

"But she's Queen," Sara said. "She can change the rules."

"It's not her rule," Donna said. "It's Hera's rule. If we were to try to keep a male on the island permanently… it would upset them and the balance of life, especially in the days Diana and he was born… the gods were more powerful back then than they are now."

"So… she was protecting her son by giving him away?" Sara asked, noticing Thomas face. He had not known this, meaning she doubted the male Amazonian knew this.

Donna gave a nod and Sara turned to Thomas, waiting. Thomas stared at Sara for a second. Their eyes meeting and Thomas knew what Sara wanted. Thomas looked at Donna and sighed.

"You won't find the Herculean Island there," Thomas stated making everyone turn to him.

"Herculean Island?" Donna asked, moving closer to the man.

"The island of the male Amazonians," Thomas said. "Hurculea."

"Male Amazonians… So that's why you seemed to hate me," Donna said, getting it right away. "They… hate us." Thomas gave a nod. "My brother?" Thomas gave another nod and Donna winced. Thomas sighed again.

"Come," Thomas said. "Let's see what we can do." Thomas opened a zap tunnel and moved through. Donna did not wait before joining him.

They were at Home Base, but Thomas did not stop – moving out onto the beach and waiting. Thomas took something out of his pocket.

"The males usually don't have as many powers as you; some are weaker, but the ones who cannot keep up with the males like your brother find other things. Including magic." Thomas held out his hand. There was an old coin in it. "Hold my hand." Donna took his hand. "Now, we toss the coin into the ocean together."

Donna was confused but did as Thomas stated, the two of them throwing the coin into the ocean. Instantly the water gushed up like a giant wave, surrounded them. "Don't be scared," Thomas called over the noise, but Donna wasn't as they were moving at speed – and then Donna was standing on a completely different Island she'd never seen before.

"Thomas!" A voice called out and a man walked up – he had dark brown hair and blue eyes and Donna took a breath in – he reminded her of Donna. "What do we… wait, who is this?" The man was eyeing Donna with instant hatred.

"This is Wonder Girl," Thomas introduced. "A fellow member of the Justice League and… your little sister."

The man didn't move. "I am Princess Donna of Themyscira and I have been looking for you," Donna said, taking out the piece of paper, "since I saw this."

Cautiously the man took the paper, looking at the words, seeming to understand them.

"Little sister," he said, looking up. "I knew I had a twin."

"Diana never knew of you," Donna said instantly. "She died without knowing or she would have tried to find you as well. Mom never told us."

"Ashamed of what she did?" He seemed to ask, wondering.

"Maybe ashamed she had no choice." Donna explained. "The gods do not allow males to live Themyscira. But I don't live there anymore – I have chosen the world of man like my sister before me. We protect all, no matter their gender." Donna said. "I just want to know my brother."

"And would you swear right now to the gods you would never abandon a son?" He asked tentatively.

"I swear to all the gods on Olympus and any others – even to the Kryptonian Rao," Donna said, knowing a bit of Kara's culture by now. Her brother raised an eyebrow at that though. "I would never abandon any child of mine. Male or female." It was an easy choice for Donna. Since she had read that piece of paper she had been wondering how her mother could do it. To abandon her child.

"I never expected that of a female Amazonian," her brother said. "I am Jace. I guess you can call me King of Hurculea by your standards – although we're more informal than you from what I understand." Jace started walking and Donna followed.

"Thomas said that not all the males have the same abilities as us," Donna asked.

"All have immortally, while most have super strength and flight. Some have less, some have exactly same. I'm the only one with a little more," Jace said.

"Care to explain?" Donna asked, wondering what this meant, and Jace lifted his hand and lightning instantly appeared around it. "The island was not always a thing – for a while I was left alone to fight in the world of man. Father granted me electricity to help until he had created this Island. He brought me and other male Amazonians to it when it was ready."

They had reached the city, which was a lot like the one on Donna's home with stone structures and familiar architecture. Donna noticed the eyes on her, but she also noticed it wasn't only males here – there were some females and children of their own.

"You have families?" Donna asked. "I assumed the gods would not let females live here like males cannot live on Themyscira."

"We can live the life we want. Including finding mates," Jace said. "It has been a long time since anyone left the island to find love – and only we Herculeans have immortally. What you see is mostly our children's children born on the Island."

"Jace, what is she doing here?" Another male who had dark hair and dark eyes asked. He was handsome in his own way.

"Timeos, I am going to be making an announcement," Jace said simply. "Welcome back Thomas, too," Jace pointed at Thomas and Timeos shook his hand, welcoming him.

Jace led Donna to a stage and everyone started gathering around. Donna could feel the hatred on her but now understood it.

"Everyone, this is Princess Donna of Themyscira. My younger sister. When she learned of me she looked hard, and through our Thomas the gods brought her to us. She has sworn never to abandon a son should she have one and I believe her. We will welcome her and give her a chance. Consider that an order. And welcome back Thomas to our little fold. Donna and Thomas work together to protect the world of man."

Jace gave Donna a pat on the back and Donna knew it meant to start mingling as they moved off the platform. She felt weird as people still sort of avoided her until a young man came up to her, a smile on his face.

"Hello, I'm Nisos," he said with a smile. "The youngest Hurculean around here."

"I'm the youngest female on my island," Donna replied with a smile.

"I can introduce you to everything, everyone," Nisos said, taking Donna's hand and starting to list off the Hurculeans and their families, introducing her to everyone, Nisos as an intermediary for the ones who didn't trust Donna. "Timeos and Jace are the only ones who never had a mate." Nisos eventually explained, "well besides myself and I guess Thomas now that's he's like an honorary one of us."

"Thomas has a mate," Donna said, loudly enough that everyone nearby stopped and turned to him. "Him and Sara are a thing. Our White Canary. Third in command of our League…." Donna stopped, noticing the reaction.

"You have a mate and you did not bring her here?" Jace asked, turning to Thomas, who seemed to be going red. "Next time, you bring her." Thomas mumbled something to that.

"Actually, Princess Donna," a man Nisos said was called Anastasios said. "Maybe there is something you can do to prove yourself?" Donna raised an eyebrow. "Our daughters – we have trained them but… we feel they would learn their true potential better from a female warrior. Something we are lacking… until now."

"I am more than willing to train your females," Donna said smiling, looking the man in the eyes. "But Thomas and I do need to return to the world of man soon – we have a duty there – but maybe we can spend a few days here."

"I'll send a message," Thomas said, taking out his communicator.

-New Justice-

Talia and her father watched on as Sah-Vi-Tah sat in a special room designed to no let the Metamorphosis virus out into the open; Sah-Vi-Tar strapped to a chair, was being electrocuted at the same time the virus was released to him – the only way they knew to make a speedster.

"That's should be enough," the man running the experiment stated, turning everything off.

A few minutes passed before they could enter the room and unstrap Sah-Vi-Tah from the machine. "Sah…?" Talia asked, not using his full name for once. "What do you feel?"

"I…" Sah-Vi-Tah muttered, but then started vibrating. He looked over to Ra's still by the door as he stood cautious and then moved, running a trail of light behind him.

He hit right into a wall. "Ouch." He mumbled as he got himself off the floor.

Talia smirked. "You will have to get use to your new abilities," she said.

"It worked," was all Ra's could say on the mattered, however.

In the shadows, Nyssa was watching curling her fist – this angered her and she knew she had to do something, but she did not know what. She couldn't betray her father and sister. All she could do was watch…

Post Chapter Note 1: Well, a short chapter I know but this is an extra chapter I added in to make part 1 and part 2 of season 2 even after splitting Flashpoint into three. Also, it was better to explain Thomas' history here than in Vigilante Injustice. Made him a little more of a mystery. It was also better to make Wally a speedster in this chapter than as a third side plot in the last chapter which was the original plan anyway as well.

Post Chapter Note 2: there will not be a New Justice update next week. Instead I will be posting a Millma Verse Tale.

Thanks for reading, and as always I love REVIEWS.

Karry Master OUT!
