Dick Grayson aka Nightwing entered the batcave through the secret entrance, riding his bike. He wanted to retire to Blüdhavenfor the night but he wanted to check on Tim, Alfred and Diana. Besides he needs to talk with Diana about Circe. But all he wants now is to go straight to bed and take a nap for at least six hours. His bones are aching from tiredness. But there are more important things revolving around them than his sleep. Diana must learn the truth. He lifted the helmet up from his head and placed it down beside the bike.

"Rough night, Master Dick?" Came Alfred's voice from somewhere around the cave.

Dick was startled at first because he wasn't aware of Alfred's presence in the cave. "Geez! You startled me, Alfred." He noticed Alfred cleaning the computers in the cave. "Alfred, where is Wonder Woman?"

"She is upstairs, standing in the balcony adjacent to her room." Alfred said.

"Come with me Alfred. I must speak with her." Dick said.

"Why do you need my assistance to speak with her?" Alfred asked confused.

"There's something you both need to hear and see." Dick replied.

Diana stood in the balcony leaning against the railing, staring towards the full moon in the night sky of Gotham. She doesn't know for how long she is standing here, thinking about him. Standing there under the moonlight of the night sky, she is fighting a battle with herself: A battle between her mind and heart. Her mind is telling her constantly that he is dead, gone forever but her heart is telling her that he is not gone. He is still alive. This internal struggle is driving her crazy. Whenever she pictures his face in her mind, fresh tears well down her cheeks from her eyes making her vision hazy. Diana knew she had feelings for Bruce, very strong feelings but she didn't realize how much he means to her until he ….. . She couldn't even think that he is dead. He took actions like this many times, risking his life without a single thought but he always came back but this time he didn't. He didn't came back to her.

She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't hear Alfred or Dick calling her name for a minute to get her attention. When she took notice, she rubbed away the tears and turned to face them. "Hey Dick, what do you need?"

"There's something you must see Wonder Woman." Dick said.

"Dick, call me Diana. I told you before." Diana insisted.

"Ok Diana. Please come with me. I want to show you something." Dick said with a small smile.

They went to the sitting room. Diana and Alfred took a seat while Dick turned on the T.V. He turned the news channel and took a seat beside Diana.

Diana was shocked seeing the breaking news on the channel.

'THE PRESIDENT IS ALIVE. WONDER WOMAN IS PROVED INNOCENT.' That was the headline of the news. She could see people on the streets waving banners at the screen. On the banners there were several apologies written on which the camera focused but most of the writings on the letter is asking her to come back. To return to the Justice League. Then she saw him. Lex Luthor, the man responsible for Bruce's death. She unconsciously clenched her fists in anger. She can't believe that vile man is still alive. All she wants is to smash his face with her fists. She turned her gaze away from the screen as tears of anger and grief blurred her vision.

Both Alfred and Dick noticed the expression on Diana's face instantly changed from curiosity to anger. They also noticed the fresh tears running down her face. "Diana, I know it hurts. Believe me, I wanted to kill him myself when I found him alive. But Bruce never believed in killing anyone and he wouldn't have wanted anyone to kill for him."

Diana's head instantly snapped towards Dick. "You said you found him. Was he hiding somewhere?"

"No, he wasn't hiding. He was kidnapped." Dick revealed.

"Kidnapped? By whom?" Diana asked with curiosity in her voice.

"Circe." Dick replied.

"Circe?" Diana was surprised. "Are you sure?"

"I can't tell for certain but from Luthor's description I deduced that the witch may be Circe."

"Why would Circe kidnap Luthor?"

"We have no idea but Luthor said that she wanted the contacts of the scientists who can make nuclear bombs."

"Circe wants nuclear bombs? It is not making sense. As much I know her she will use magic to cause chaos, not nuclear bombs."

"That's why I believe that Circe is not the head of the master plan. There is someone else behind this who wants to blow us up."

"Who can it be? Who will want to destroy the whole world?"

"All I know that this certain someone is a female and is recognized as the 'Future Queen' of the world among her cronies."

"How do you know this? Dick tell me everything. Don't hide anything." Diana said with fire in her eyes. Dick saw the raw anger and determination in her eyes. The vulnerable Diana is gone, replaced by the Princess of the Amazons, Wonder Woman. Dick wondered whether he should tell Diana the truth because there is no guarantee that Bruce is still alive. It may be someone else who is helping them to stop the Queen. But after seeing her ocean blue eyes staring at him, he couldn't bring himself to lie to her.

"All right, Diana. I will tell you everything." Then Dick begin to tell her how he found out Shiva and Tsukuri was making a deal with Selina and talking about the unknown Queen. How Selina and Superman assisted him to stop them. Then he proceeded to tell her about the micro-transmitter he found in his belt. During this time Diana's eyes widened and her eyes lit up. She opened her mouth to speak but stopped her and requested her to listen to his words. Diana agreed and calmed down. Then he told her how with the help of the Justice League, he rescued Luthor from imprisonment.

"I don't know who helped us locate Luthor but that person did more than just helping the world. Our friend proved your innocence. You are now free, Diana." Dick said.

Diana didn't reply. Dick saw that she was lost in her thoughts. After a moment she looked back at Dick. "No. I am not free, yet." She paused. "We need to find the Queen and stop her plans before she destroys the world and I need to get Bruce back. For the Justice League. For this family. For me." She said with determination in her eyes and got up. She had her doubts about Bruce being alive but now she knew better. No one will risk their own neck to prove her innocence, except one particular man. It may look like the mysterious person is trying to assist them to save the world but Diana knew that this person is none other than the mysterious Batman, trying to save her and the world. He is doing this for her and she will show him that she also can do anything for him.

"What do you want to d….." Dick's question remain unfinished as the doorbell of the manor rang loudly interrupting their conversation.

"Excuse me. Miss Diana. Master Dick." Alfred excused himself politely to get the door.

"Diana I think you should go to your room for a moment. No one can see you here." Dick said.

Diana nodded. If someone sees her here they will instantly recognise her as Wonder Woman and then a lot of questions will be asked about why Wonder Woman is staying in the house of Bruce Wayne. She was about to depart to her room but a voice stopped her in her tracks.

"Diana!" A female voice called her name.

Diana instantly turned around facing the source of the sound. Her eyes lit up. "Donna!" In the next moment Diana found herself in her sister's tight embrace. They remain in their embrace for a whole minute, not saying anything. It was Diana who regained the control first. So she extracted herself from her sister's arms to take a good look at her sister.

"Donna, what are you doing here? I thought you were on Themyscira." Diana asked.

"I was there. But I sensed your grief, anger, sadness. So I couldn't remain there any longer. I talked with our mother and left the island at once. I am sorry, Diana. I wanted to come earlier but I had some responsibilities which were bestowed on me by mother." Donna apologized.

"Don't apologize, Donna. You came for me. I love you Donna." Diana said embracing her sister again.

"I love you too, Diana." Donna mumbled, happy to see her sister is safe.

Diana's eyes momentarily fell on Dick who was still sitting on the sofa. His eyes are wide and his cheeks are flushed. His gaze is fixed on Donna.

Diana pulled back and gestured towards Dick. "Donna this is Dick. Dick this is Donna, my sister." She introduced. Donna didn't notice Dick earlier. Her eyes turned wide when she noticed him, staring at her with something in his eyes she didn't know. "Hi, Dick!" Donna said shyly. Her cheeks turned red.

"Hi…. Hi, Donna." Dick stuttered and rubbed his neck awkwardly. God she is more beautiful than the last time I saw her.

Diana noticed the awkwardness between her sister and Dick with confusion but chose not to say anything. There will be plenty of time to explore that particular subject later. But now she have to stop the crazy Queen and find Bruce.

"What's going on Diana? Why are you here and by the look of your dress I think that you are staying here for some time now." Donna asked.

"I will explain everything to you later, Donna. But now I need to get to the Watchtower." Diana said.

"Alright." Donna said with confusion. She looked at Dick for some hint but he didn't say anything when Diana left.

Diana left her sister and Dick and went towards Tim's room. She quietly entered his room and found him sleeping on the bed, peacefully. She smiled slightly seeing the peaceful expression on his sleeping face. She bent down and kissed his forehead lightly, careful not to wake him up. She pulled back slightly to see a comforting smile is now on his lips. "I will get him back. For you. For me. For us. I promise." Then without allowing a second glance she left the room with purpose in her eyes.

Within a second she was wearing her armour instead of her nightgown. She met Dick and Donna who has both changed into their respective uniforms. "Wonder Woman to Watchtower." She called.

"I hear you Wonder Woman." Booster Gold answered the call.

"Three for transport to Watchtower. Immediately." Diana said.

"You got it." Came the reply. Within a few seconds the three of them vanished from sight.

LOCATION: UNKNOWN

"Is everything ready?"

"Yes, my Queen." Tsukuri replied while she was on her knees.

"What about the Justice League?"

"They are not aware of your plan, my Queen. They won't be able to stop us." Tsukuri replied.

"Very well. Are the mercenaries ready?"

"They are awaiting your orders." Tsukuri bowed again. "My Queen, what should I do with the scientists?"

A twisted and evil smile appeared on the red lips of the Queen. Her perfectly white teeth was visible through her smile. "Pay them what they need."

"Pay them? But my Queen I thought you were gonna kill them?" Tsukuri asked.

"I will eventually. But I still need them for my plan. Once I take over Themyscira they will be needed again." Came the reply. "What about Wonder Woman? Has she returned?"

"No. My Queen she is still in hiding. We haven't heard anything about her."

"She will come. Send a message to the Watchtower."

"What is the message?" Tsukuri asked.

"Come and save your home, mother and sisters. If you can. You have three hours."

"Consider it is done." Tsukuri assured.

"Now you may go. Send our allies to me."

"As you say my Queen." Tsukuri bowed and left. She walked through a cave and reached a large hall. There were several persons present there. "The Queen requests your presence, my friends." The occupants of the large hall looked towards Tsukuri: Cheetah, Maxima, Killer Frost, Giganta, Silver Banshee and Rampage. Each of their lips broke into satisfied smiles.

NOTE: I have made a correction in the previous chapter regarding the hair colour of Circe. I changed it to purple from black. At first I wanted to keep it black as disguise but later I thought it will make unnecessary complications in the story.

So Wonder Woman is back to take care of the threat. Batman will reveal himself too just have some patience.

I hope you are all enjoying the story despite the grammar mistakes. I apologize for those mistakes but as I mentioned in the notes of the first chapter that I am not that good at English that I can write a story without any grammatical mistakes. Thanks for reading and special thanks to those readers who spent their valuable time to review the chapters. Please, review this one and let me know your thoughts about the story. Thanks.
