A/N: Wow I haven't been this creative since high school...that was *ahem* quite a few years ago now...for the Ollie/Dinah shippers I do not hate the pairing, I just feel more of a connection with Dinah and Hal, sorry. I am still unsure though of who she will end up with...we will just have to wait and see. As always I do not own the characters. Thanks for the reviews and followers. Here is a little taste of what is to come...hope you all like it...Enjoy

Chapter 6

Queen Hippolyta and the Amazons

Queen Hippolyta was watching Diana and her friends who were gathered on the beach at Themyiscira to have a full dress rehearsal for the upcoming event. Diana had gotten the idea to have fun and relax after their practice was over as the ladies were starting to become nervous and doubtful they could pull it off. She had spoken quietly with her mother who had agreed wholeheartedly. With Diana's recommendation Wally had been granted special permission as long as he behaved himself. Diana had told them of her plans at their last practice session at Diana's embassy.

Everyone dropped to the ground exhausted as they finished their session, Wally conveniently plopped himself next to Beatriz. Diana sat up and turned so she was facing everyone.

"I have some news everyone. My mother has invited us to hold our last practice session on Themyiscira. It will be a full dress rehearsal and some of my sisters will be there as a test audience for us-"

"I'm sorry….what?", Helena asked.

"Come again?", Dinah said tapping her ears.

"Are you serious? Is she serious? Tell me she's not SERIOUS?", Shayera said shaking her head in disbelief.

"Ooooooh goody", Zee cheered.

"Now that's what I'm talking 'bout!", Mari fist-pumped the air and then turned to Bea and both ladies high-fived each other.

"Awesome", Wally said quietly staring at Bea sadly, knowing he would not be going with them.

Diana smiled noticing this, "That includes you Wally"

"Huh?!", Wally looked at Diana stupidly, "I'm sorry…..for a second I thought you said I could go-"

"I did Wally, Mother has granted you permission to come with us-"

"O….Mi….God", Wally said, "Are YOU serious? Is SHE serious?", he turned to Bea, 'Tell me SHE'S not serious?"

"-on one condition"

He gulped, " I know, keep my hands so they can see them and my mouth shut at all times or one of your sisters will run me through with a spear, right?"

"You just have to behave yourself Wally, you will be fine. I vouched for you with Mother ensuring that she has nothing to worry about. Don't make me regret it Wally, ok?"

"For you Diana, anything"

He then turned to Bea and smiled gently, "I'm coming with you Bea", she beamed back at him. Diana smiled knowing that she had made a wise decision and that Wally would be no problem whatsoever with her sisters. He only had eyes for Bea.

Diana turned back to face her teammates, some of who were still grumbling, "Ladies we can do this, we NEED to do this. It will break the ice and ensure we won't die of stage fright on the night, ok?. Remember Operation – Sucker Punch and why we are doing it. Besides I have surprise guests for you all there", she smiled slyly.

Wally and all the ladies looked at each other in confusion, then they all shrugged as one and yelled, "LET'S DO THIS!"

Hippolyta though at first angry that her daughter had fallen in love with a man, had come to accept it seeing the happiness in her daughter's eyes when she spoke of him. She thanked Athena though that Diana's choice was Kal-el. She had shuddered when she thought it could have been the flashy young pup who ogled all her sisters last time he was here, or the pointy eared dark one who reminded her of Hades. Kal-el had helped Diana save Themyiscira a lot over the years and had been granted special dispensation whereby he was now a welcome guest to come and go as he pleased. Diana's sisters though wary at first had over time come to accept him as an ally.

Unknown to Diana, many of her sisters having watched the interaction between Diana and Superman through the years had started placing wagers on them coming together and when. When Hippolyta and Phillipus had gotten wind of this, they attended one of the weekly update sessions. The sisters fearful of their Queen's wrath started to apologise endlessly and vow to stop and close down the ring. Imagine their shock when Hippolyta laid down a small bag of gold coins saying, "I'm in for Christmas", followed by Phillipus placing her own small bag down also who said, "Put me down for New Year's".

Hippolyta chuckled at the memory and looked back to the beach where the team was getting ready to begin. A makeshift stage with curtains to block the audience's view of backstage was set up. She could see them madly getting ready. Some were practicing steps, some were adjusting their costumes and a few looked like they were praying. She noticed Wallace talking and helping the young woman called Beatriz, they seemed to be enjoying themselves. The Queen had noticed a change in the young man when they first arrived, he had bowed and politely addressed her and then Phillipus and then stepped back behind the ladies. He had not once, that she had seen, ogled anyone except Beatriz. Hippolyta realised suddenly that he was in love with the young woman. She smiled, well played Diana, well played.

Five minutes before show time the audience began to make their way in and find their seats. Suddenly in walked Superman, Batman, Vigilante, Green Lantern, Question, Green Arrow and Martian Manhunter, they made their way to their seats in the front row and quietly sat down.

Shayera who was fidgeting nervously with her costume decided to take a sneak peek at the audience to calm her nerves. Parting the middle of the curtains slightly she looked….and her eyes went wide in shock and dropped the curtain like it was on fire. She shook her head blinking vigorously and tried again….nope…still there.

"Omigod they're here!", she whispered loudly.

"Huh?"

"Whose here?", Mari said looking up.

"Our stupid boneheaded men, that's WHO!", Shayera spat and turned, "Ummmm…Diana…a word please?"

"Omigod!"

"Does Vic look nervous?", Helena asked.

Dinah looked at her eyes widening, "I'm sorry…what?"

"Naaahhh, she's just pulling our legs right Shay?", Zee said making her way towards the curtains to confirm it.

She peeked and dropped the curtain, turning around and shakily said, "Nope she's not kidding, they're all there".

Dinah ran towards the curtain and looked for herself, she dropped it and turned around looking sad. Helena and Diana saw this and knew why, but wisely said nothing.

"Told you it would be a surprise"

"Diana!", they all chorused, "How could you?"

"I can't do it, no way in hell", Shayera said adamantly.

"Yeah….what she said", Mari chorused.

"Dinah was Vic chattering away like he usually does?"

"Hel you do remember your boyfriend has no face, right?", Dinah said rolling her eyes.

"We can do this", Zee stated.

They all turned to look at her in shock.

"What?...we didn't work our butts off to give up at the finish line did we?"

They all shook their heads.

"We are BEAUTIFUL, STRONG, INDEPENDENT, INTELLIGENT women are we not?"

They all nodded their heads, including Wally. Diana smiling at Zee using her words from their previous pep talk.

"Sorry Wally, but you know what I mean"

"All good Zee", he said giving her the thumbs up.

"Alright ladies, let's go kick some ass!"

They all whooped in unison and went out to perform.

They all gave their heart and soul into their performance and it showed. Once they were finished the crowd erupted cheering and with thunderous applause, calling for more. They were all backstage panting for breath but with happy smiles all around. They all stepped out for an encore to please the audience and then bowed to the crowd. The ladies all gently shoved Wally to centre stage where he received the loudest cheer of all. Wally blushed brightly and looked back at Bea who was clapping enthusiastically and beaming at him. His chest puffed out with pride and he gave a very dramatic bow to his eager audience. He then stepped to the side and indicated all the ladies behind him where the crowd went wild again.

The ladies looked at the heroes in the front row who were wildly clapping. They made their way over to their men and the crowd suddenly went quiet.

Diana grinned at Superman who grinned back. He then reached for his cape and taking it off swirled it around his body a few times like a matador would. Suddenly he changed into none other than her sister, Donna Troy.

"Thanks Sis"

"Anytime Di that was awesome! You will all knock their socks off! You can thank me by returning the cloak to Olympus for me."

Seven jaws dropped, they turned slowly to face the hero they were in front of.

Batman took his cowl off to reveal Mala, Diana's childhood friend, "Thank God it was so hot and constricted in there, I don't know how he does it", she complained.

"Because he's the Batman", Zee smiled.

Green Lantern took off his mask to reveal Phillipus in disguise, Shayera bowed saying, "Well done General"

"Thank you Hawkgirl it was the most fun I have had in a millenia", she said smiling.

Mari reached out and pulled down Vigilante's mask to reveal another one of Diana's sisters, Menallipe.

Helena was reaching out for The Questions mask, when he suddenly pulled it off himself, revealing Epione the island's healer, "Thank God I can see and breathe properly now. Diana don't ever do that to me again", Diana smirked.

"Thank you Epione", she said sheepishly. Epione rolled her eyes.

Dinah stood quietly looking at Green Arrow, not moving. A minute later Green Arrow frustratingly removed his mask to reveal an impatient Artemis.

"What's wrong sister? Did you not want to unmask your man?", she asked Dinah.

"It's not that…..it's just-"

"Sisters!, let us see who the final reveal will be", Queen Hippolyta interrupted as she made her way over to them all.

Wally turned to look at J'onn and said, "Which sister are you?", as he reached to begin pulling on J'onn's face.

"Owwwww….Wally stop…..that hurts…", J'onn cried.

Seven jaws dropped again.

"J'onn?", Wally said shocked.

"Yes my friend, it is me", he smiled at them all rubbing his chin gingerly.

"Awww…sorry bro-", Wally began.

"That's quite alright Wally, don't worry about it"

Zatanna, Mari, Shayera, Dinah, Helena, Beatriz and Wally all turned as one and raised an eyebrow at Diana.

"What?!"

They all turned as one to J'onn then turned back to her.

"Hullooooo…..best telepath in the world….if not universe?", she said and rolled her eyes at them. J'onn smiled proudly at that.

"Dinah, a word please?", Hippolyta placed a gentle hand on Dinah's arm. Dinah looked up confused but nodded slowly. She followed the Queen as she made her way across the sand away from the others. A little way off the Queen stopped and sat down on the sand, arranging her gown to be more comfortable. Dinah had no choice but to follow suit. They both gazed out at the crystal blue ocean before them awed by the beauty there.

"Your heart is troubled and can't seem to decide, my child?"

"How did you-?"

The Queen of the Amazons arched an eyebrow at her.

Dinah sighed painfully and raising a hand began to rub her forehead as if she had a headache, "Yes, your Majesty, I think I am in love with two men"

"How can you be sure that it is love you feel for both?"

"Oliver is a kind, wonderful, noble man who makes me feel safe. He would do anything for me. Hal is independent, funny, challenging and a gentle soul who lets me be myself. I love them both for that…"

"But?"

"Ollie cheated on me and broke my trust. He has tried ever since I found out to make amends. Hal has been like a rock for me all this time whilst I dealt with the situation. Never demanding anything of me, just being my friend. I-I can't seem to choose who I want to be with", she looked at the Queen with tear filled eyes.

"Dinah, it is not always a clear path to true love. We can only deal with things when they happen. Affairs of the heart are rarely easy, but then they wouldn't be worth it then. The heart wants what the heart wants, it has been said. Once it chooses though it is rarely wrong. You need to look inside yourself, my child and find which one of these two men makes you feel like you have come home when you are with them. Then….and only then will you know"

"Thank you , your Highness….I needed that", she sighed deeply.

Hippolyta, not renowned for being demonstrative, awkwardly wrapped her arms around Dinah and gently squeezed. She then pulled back and gently placed a kiss on Dinah's forehead.

"May Athena grant you wisdom and strength in your quest Dinah"

"Thank you"

"May Aphrodite grant you love in abundance and peace for your heart also"

Dinah nodded slowly and then looked up at the Queen slowly grinning, "She's the one who can grant lots of sex too, right?"

Hippolyta rolled her eyes.
