Diana had always believed in Clark; she had always felt that he could be the one person that could end the fighting in the world. He embodied hope, dreams, and the ideals of man that Diana had always fought for. She did not think that Bruce or anyone else on the League could truly achieve what she knew Clark could. Nobody had the respect, and the admiration of the people of earth like Clark did. She supposed that was why she had always felt so strongly for him. This man who was like her, torn between two cultures, and why she had supported his speech. When he'd asked her to go to Arkham she'd done it without question. She'd taken Barry, Cyborg, and Hal with her, as well as bringing Beast Boy and Raven as well.

They walked through the gates, nodding to the guards, who'd known for a while that they were coming. Diana noticed how some of the grounds looked tarred, as if there was something disparate going on. That was something that would need to be looked at. She kept walking, entering the main prison area, the inmates were asleep, as she'd expected. She continued, into the areas where the most dangerous prisoners were kept. She stopped when she saw who was standing in front of her. "Dinah." She said.

"Diana." The other woman replied. Diana suspected that Dinah was here because Bruce had asked her, and she knew Dinah had always had a thing for Bruce. "I can't let you do this."

"And what do you think it is we are here to do?" Diana asked.

"You're going to move these prisoners away from here to somewhere where no one will be able to find them. god alone knows what you will do to them once they've been moved. I cannot allow that." Dinah responded.

Diana snorted. "So, you will allow them to stay here, these dangerous criminals who are part of the reason so many men, women and children have died. The reason why so many don't have homes to return to. You would defend them? I am surprised at you Dinah, I thought you would support moving them."

Something flashed over Dinah's face and Diana realised why the woman was doing this. The woman didn't give any indication, but Diana suspected. "They have rights, they might be criminals but they have rights. And I will fight to protect those rights."

Diana sighed. "Dinah, I have no wish to fight you. You must know that Arkham is not secure. If the Joker and Harley Quinn can break out of here, who else might break out from here. What else might break out from here?" she could sense the energy lurking beneath this place. And she feared it. "Do you really think that things will just go back to the way they were? The US government has been lying to everyone. These prisoners are not safe; they are not safe here to themselves or to the general public. Let us move them and then we can deal with everything else."

Dinah snorted. "Diana Prince, I think you are full of shit. I think you have really drunk from the kool aid. You are buying the lies that Clark and Chloe are telling you. Clark Kent is not the man he once was. His actions in Al Hudda, in Israel and with Conduit show that. You would be better served returning to Themiscyra than trying to get involved with this."

"So you think that allowing corrupt regimes to remain in power is the right thing? I am surprised Dinah, I would have thought given your experience in Sierra Leone and South Africa, you would be able to appreciate the need for direct action." Diana shot back.

As expected Dinah's face shifted, it went from being blank to pure rage. "That was something I have long regretted. I was young and foolish. Clark does not have that excuse. You must see that he is walking down a dangerous path, and I do not think you fully appreciate just how easy it would be for Clark to move down that darkness."

This was a side of Dinah that Diana had never seen before. Some of that old hatred thing she kept on hearing about seemed to be creeping out. "What do you mean? Clark has fought for the light for longer than most of us, he has never strayed toward darkness and he has pulled everyone back including yourself, from the abyss more than once."

"That was when he had Lois there to remind him that he was human as well. But Lois is dead and now I do not think that he cares to be human." Dinah shot back, and again there was something in her eyes that made Diana flinch slightly. She recognised that look, but from where she did not know.

"I think you are being incredibly naïve, Dinah. Clark has his son; he has his family to remind him of who he is." Diana said, she might not think much of Jonathan Kent, but she respected him.

"His son is exactly the reason why Clark might well go down the darkness. He will think he is doing it to make the world a better place for his son. And Jonathan has gone through things that would distort anyone's view of sanity. Jonathan Kent is not going to tell his father not to do these things." Dinah shot back.

"How would you know?" Diana asked.

"Because I was a teenager once, and I know what I would have done if I were in Jonathan's position." Dinah responded. "Because my sister went down that path. You must see that things aren't going to get better."

Diana sighed. "I am sorry Dinah, but I cannot agree with you. I believe in Clark and I believe he is doing this for the right reasons."

"Then I suppose we must fight." Dinah said, as she said that J'onn Jonzz, the Martian Manhunter appeared, as did Max Mercury, Huntress and some new creation of golden armour that looked much like Cyborg.

Diana sighed. "I suppose we must."

She drew her sword, and advanced, Dinah it seemed would be her sparring partner. She knew that realistically she could kill Dinah with a few blows, but Dinah was her friend, she didn't want to kill her, merely wound her. she swung her sword, and Dinah dodged. She swung again and once more Dinah dodged. On the third swing, she connected, Dinah winced as blood came out. Diana moved back as Dinah prepared her shriek. It hit the wall of one of the cells. Diana turned and moved before another shriek could hit her.

On the third attempt, she got pushed down. Dinah took her chance, and Diana had to face a few blows, before she pushed back. Sword discarded she swung her fists, punching first the face, then the cheeks, then the throat. Dinah was gasping for breath, but she still kept going. Diana moved backwards blocking swings to her face and her body. Diana retaliated, a swing to the chest knocking the wind out of Dinah. She then hit Dinah in the chin, sending her tumbling into another wall.

"Victor, how close are you to getting them transported?" She called.

She heard a bang, and turned to see Victor facing off the golden monstrosity. "I need more time." He called back.

Diana turned back around. Barry and Max Mercury were fighting one another with the intensity of gods. Huntress had knocked out Beast Boy and J'onn was fighting Raven. Huntress moved toward her just as Dinah got up. The shriek hit her and an arrow knocked her down. Diana pulled the arrow out, and got up. She moved as quickly as possible toward Dinah, but before she could, she heard a loud thud, then the sound of chains breaking. "What the hell was that?" someone said.

Diana and Dinah shared a look. "Off one another, we need to prepare for something worse." The rumbling grew louder, until the ground erupted and there before them stood a figure with a grotesque face and a body chiselled from stone.

"Born a Tuesday, died on a Wednesday, Reborn on a Thursday, Solomon Grundy." Came the roar.

Diana cursed, this was not the worst thing lurking beneath the shadows of Arkham, but if Grundy was awake perhaps the other thing would not come. She immediately raced to pick up her sword, and began attacking Grundy as J'onn and Hal did the same thing. Grundy knocked Hal to the ground, and grabbed J'onn within a tight embrace, only letting go when Dinah hit him with her wail. Diana pushed forward then, ducking his swings, and grabbing Hal and pulling him away. Grundy moved forward to be hit by a shriek and a blast from Cyborg.

She watched with horror as Grundy rose, and grabbed the golden thing and ripped it in half before eating the circuits. Grundy then turned toward her, and charged. "Born on a Tuesday, died on a Wednesday, reborn on a Thursday, Solomon Grundy!" she ducked under his swinging arms, and hit him with her sword, she nearly screamed as the sword broke. That wasn't supposed to happen! she supposed then that she would need to take another approach. She jumped onto the beast and began hitting him with her fists. Grundy didn't seem to care, he took the blows and knocked out Dinah and nearly broke Cyborg in two, he kept going. Diana hit him harder and harder but he still kept going.

Then she remembered what Bruce had once told her. She grabbed Grundy's eyes and with a yell, she ripped them out. It took a lot but the beast started slowing down. She jumped off of him and got to face him. He staggered around, Diana took a moment, a breath then she jumped and with one fluid motion ripped his head off of his body. He crashed to the ground, and she stood there, holding his head, not quite sure what to do. The others were beginning to wake up so she threw the head away. Dinah was the one who got up first. "I see you've taken to killing the dead as well."

Diana didn't respond. She moved to help Victor and Hal, Beast Boy was out cold. Raven was nowhere to be found. She took a breath. Then walked forward, but before she could move, time stopped. "You know this is going to end one way, right?" A figure with a hood and white eyes stared at her.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"Someone who wants to stop needless bloodshed. Stop what you are doing and ensure that the League heals. Otherwise what happens next is in you." The figure replied.

"What are you talking about? Who are you?" Diana demanded.

"I am the past and the future. And I am here to tell you that the path you are going down is paved with bloodshed and death. Do you want your friends to die?" the figure asked.

Diana looked at the man and snarled. "You are a trick, and illusion."

The figure sighed. "I am sorry Diana, I have tried." With that the figure disappeared, and time moved properly, when she looked around the prison was empty. Diana stood there, wondering where everyone had gone, when she received a transmission.

"Diana, you need to come to the watchtower, immediately."

"On my way." Diana said, she used the teleporter and arrived a few seconds later. Victor and Barry and Beast Boy were there. "Where did you go?" She asked.

They didn't respond to that, instead Victor said. "A bomb went off in London, in the palace itself."

"And?" Diana demanded, her heart racing.

"Clark and Jonathan are fine, but the rest of the royal family and many of their guests died in the bomb blast." Victor replied.

"Then we need to go to London." Diana said. Victor didn't say anything for a moment, then he said.

"Clark said to wait. Katar is coming to the Hall of Justice, he wants you to be there to meet him." Victor said.

Diana nodded, though she wondered why, she and Katar didn't get along.
