Chapter 6: The Search is On
Somewhere on Asgard…
Hyppolyta awoke, shackled to a wall. She looked around and saw she was precariously close to a lava pit. The sweltering heat caused the queen's skin to shimmer with sweat. She looked around, attempting to discern her new environment. She groaned out loud,
"This cannot get any worse."
A booming voice bellowed,
"SILENCE, WOMAN! YOU WILL SUFFER THE WRATH OF SURTUR, GOD OF FIRE!"
Hyppolyta looked up, a bit surprised. However, she shouted back,
"I do not who you are, but I swear, when my Amazon sisters find me, you will suffer in ways you will never imagine are possible."
A gushing burst of lava came dangerously close the Amazon queen. Hyppolyta recoiled back, trying to put up a stoic front. However, deep down; she was terrified. First Ulik, now this man called Surtur. What was going on here?
Loki, looking through an orb in her castle, smiled evilly,
"My plan is working perfectly. Now, if only Thor arrives."
Back in the Watchtower…
Dr. Fate, an artifact using magician, was busy researching spells and finding out which spell would teleport a team of League members to Asgard. Diana, Wonder Girl, Thor, and Selene were present with the magician. Selene looked around in awe,
"This is where this Justice League lives?"
Donna explained,
"Sometimes. This is our home base."
The brunette swordswoman looked around,
"So, is there anything I should know about?"
At that precise moment, Wonder Man was running down the halls, screaming,
"Get them away from me!"
Gypsy, Vixen, and Zatanna were in hot pursuit. Vixen shouted,
"Simon, come back!"
Gypsy agreed,
"We just want to be near you!"
Zatanna smirked,
"And prove I'm the best for you!"
At this, the other two women stopped the tuxedo magician. Vixen scowled,
"Excuse me? Simon deserves only one woman; ME!"
Gypsy scoffed,
"As if. I'm perfect for Simon!"
And soon, a cat-fight escalated. Donna shook her head,
"You get used to that."
Selene blinked,
"Are all those women fighting for this man's affections?"
Diana nodded,
"Yes."
The brunette asked,
"And, what is so special about this Simon that they would all want to kill each other for?"
Wonder Man was near a wall, huffing and puffing. He thought to himself,
For a guy that doesn't breathe, I sure get winded.
He then noticed the look on his pursuers' faces and swallowed,
Oh, crap.
The chase was back on.
Selene blinked before saying,
"That is exactly why I like girls."
Around that time, the striped were-tigress heroine Tigra was walking arm-in-arm with Blue Beetle. The two had been sharing some alone time with each other, and both had gotten closer since that time Ted stuck up for Greer. (1)
It did not take long for Greer and Donna to notice each other. There was still tension between the two of them.
Tigra nodded,
"Hello, Donna."
Donna nodded back,
"Hello, Greer."
Selene could not help but stare in shock,
"Who is that?"
Diana explained,
"That's Tigra, Farrah's mentor."
She watched as the swordswoman sauntered up to the tiger warrior and seductively remarked,
"Your costume leaves little to the imagination."
Greer looked at Selene,
"Is there something wrong with that?"
Selene shook her head,
"No, but I do have quite the imagination, if you know what I mean."
Tigra noticed the look she was getting and shook her head,
"Sorry, I have a boyfriend."
The Amazon warrior pouted,
"The cute ones are always taken."
Greer blinked at that,
"Now, I know exactly what Farrah goes through every time Donna sees her."
Dr. Fate studied the magical energy from the spell he had cast,
"Interesting."
He turned to Thor,
"You were right. Hyppolyta is somewhere on Asgard. However, Loki is blocking her exact location."
Diana said,
"It is a start. Now all we have to do is go to Asgard."
Thor shook his head,
"My hammer can transport one other and myself there directly."
Donna looked at her older sister,
"I am coming, whether you want me too or not. She is my mother too, Diana."
Selene smirks,
"Once that woman makes up her mind, there's no turning back. I like her for that."
The God of Thunder looked at Selene,
"Miss, you may want to wear something more…appropriate. Asgard is a cold place for one that is not properly prepared."
Selene folded her arms, scowling,
"Excuse me, male. I don't believe I asked for your opinion on my dress."
Tigra then remembered something,
"Wait, Farrah was working on something before she left. It was a sort of thermal suit she was making so she could keep her full range of motion."
Donna nodded,
"I know she was working on something like that with Blue Beetle. I shall go get it."
Ted nodded,
"I'll get the other Super-buddies together so we can prepare for the trip to Asgard."
As they were making preparations, Selene looked to Diana,
"Not bad. Not bad at all."
Diana scowled,
"Selene, may I have a private word with you?"
Meanwhile…
Donna walked into the lab and noticed John Henry Irons, the hero known as Steel, was working on another one of his mechanical experiments. He looked up,
"Hey, Donna."
Wonder Girl nodded,
"Hello, Steel. Does Farrah still have that experiment she was working on?"
The armored hero nodded,
"Yeah, it's right here. Let me get it."
He walked over to a drawer and pulled out a shining red bodysuit. It did not have the hole cut for Farrah's tail. It appeared to be still in a development process, but Donna was sure Farrah would not mind if it was field tested. As the Amazon princess began to walk out, she noticed the black ooze in the containment chamber. Donna cringed, remembering what that thing did to Farrah and how it used her to try and hurt everybody else. Wonder Girl scowled at the thing and walked out.
Elsewhere…
As a team was being prepared to go to Asgard, Selene and Diana were talking in a secluded area near the hanger. Selene was awed by the jet,
"I can't believe you ride in such an extravagant chariot."
Diana nodded,
"I'm glad you like it. But, we need to discuss something."
Selene turned and smirked,
"Talk."
The Amazon princess folded her arms,
"It's not secret I don't like you."
The swordswoman replied innocently,
"Why, Your Highness, whatever do you mean?"
She snapped her fingers, realizing,
"Oh, it was that time you caught me, wasn't it? Well, you can rest assured, I'm with Donna again."
Diana scowled,
"That's exactly what you said the last time, just before you drifted off to another, sister."
Selene rolled her eyes,
"What can I say? I had nothing better to do. Besides, Donna forgave me."
Diana got closer, glaring,
"I haven't. You hurt my sister, and I will always hold that over you."
Selene smirked smugly,
"Oh, really? At least I didn't hurt her like that man Roy."
At this, the older princess was taken aback. The brunette continued,
"Donna told us everything. That man should be dead, and I fail to see why you two are keeping him alive."
Diana looked at her Amazon compatriot,
"Sister, Roy has a daughter. We would be robbing her of someone that cares about her."
Selene rolled her eyes,
"Sure. You just keep telling yourself that."
Diana continued her glare before walking away. She detested Selene, but she was an Amazon warrior and sister. She had to respect that. It was the only thing keeping her above Selene.
