The site, motivation and my life are the reason for the delay
Animeman; No, they are not the same. Also, there are demigods in the DC universe, Wonder Woman is one now, a daughter of Zeus.
Now then, let us begin
Mount Justice
Wonder Woman looked grave "Its the work of Artemis..."
"HEY!" the archer yelled
"Not you...the Goddess. History is repeating itself, but this time...the solution to the last time is the problem"
"Last time?" Miss Martian said alarmed
Wonder Woman was grave "Her son has been captured."
There was a lot of confusion as she finished.
"Um...I don't claim to know that much...but isn't Artemis a virgin?" Terra frowned
"Hopefully both of them" Rocket muttered as she glanced at the other Artemis.
"Yes"
"But she has a son..."
"Its...complicated."
"What, is she Mary or something..."
"Um...no. The other gods created him about...well it was centuries before the Trojan war. It was shortly after the, um...incident with her attendant, Callisto, um you know the story right?" she was uncomfortable with bringing up that point about her...'father'...and was glad to see no one pressed it "Well, after that, she was angry. Very understandably, of course...but she threatened to destroy the entire male race in response"
"Um...can gods do that?"
Wonder Woman frowned "Not directly, Zeus can't just go and snap his fingers to make all of humanity die, but their powers can be used that way. Demeter is an example, she can deprive mortals of their harvest...Artemis, as the goddess of childbirth, can make it so no male children can be born...and she is a good shot with her arrows when it comes to taking down those who still live, and her arrows carry not just cold steel, but disease and plague. So, as a precaution...the other gods stole a bit of her essence and created a child with it...Orion"
"Um...isn't that her boyfriend..."
Wonder woman shook her head "The ridiculous ways the myths are seen these days"
"And...how is creating a child she didn't know about helpful..." they all knew she was suffering to Superboy and his relationship with Superman.
"Its proven that when a mother gives birth in most species, a bond is formed. As the goddess of childbirth, when she was presented with him...well I can't say she liked him but she couldn't kill him, and thus the male race. Of course, I've always known them to have a loving, mother and son relationship as his life is tied to hers, he will live as long as she does as long as he isn't killed by a blade or something...but I'm only 90 so I have no idea when it changed into a positive, loving relationship"
"Okay..." weird "But still, why would she relapse into destroying the male half of humanity if he got lost?" Artemis frowned.
Wonder woman glared at her "Orion does not always stay in the realm of the amazons. Neither he or his mother like staying cooped up for long periods of time, god and child of the wild after all. He often goes out to explore the mortal world, but he always returns home when he promises...but you can probably guess he didn't"
"However, if his mother did find him...it is possible someone is holding him for ransom...though why someone would want to destroy all males..."
"Well, any male who isn't older than 12" Zatanna commented
"Yes...any male who is not a child seems to be in danger. As a guardian of children, this makes it more obvious that is her work. We must find her son...and give her no more reason to seek the eradication of mankind"
"So...got any ideas then?" Power Girl asked, having no idea how to find a goddess.
Wonder Woman smirked "Leave that to me...Zatanna, Miss Martian, Artemis, Terra, Rocket...you will find Orion and set him free, taking out or capturing his captor if possible, while we will keep Artemis the Goddess occupied"
Power Girl paled "A god..."
Wonder Woman smirked "I've fought gods before, just follow my lead"
Somewhere in Wyoming
Wyoming...a state of plains, Buffalo and suffrage for woman, it is a heavily conservative state, barely populated and filled with hunters, guns and a general dislike for the people in the marble buildings of the central government.
All and all, the place to find a goddess of hunting who doesn't spend a lot of time on Olympus.
From above the dusky plains flew Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl and Power Girl, who was holding Black Canary by her armpits.
"What are we supposed to be looking for" the busty blond, the flying one, asked Wonder Woman.
Said amazon-demigod had her eyes closed, as if feeling for something "Black Canary, fire a canary cry at 57 degrees west in 30 seconds...everyone else be ready for evasive action"
The foursome nodded, as Black Canary let out the famed Canary cry, the vocal attack flying down at the point Wonder Woman specified...before 5 seconds later a flock of arrows flew at them in response.
Again, taking Wonder Woman's advice, they spun out and avoided the attack as a form appeared in a shimmer, as if an invisibility field had worn off.
The being had Auburn hair and a slim build, a runner type. A quiver of arrows and a silver, crescent shaped bow were in her hand, a sword sheathed on her hips. She was dressed in a silver, regal look...at least for Themiscara anyway.
"She doesn't look so tough" Hawkwoman scoffed...as the moon began to rise behind them.
'You had to jinx it' Wonder Woman scowled
Meanwhile, Boston Massachusetts
The city of revolution, the hub, the bustling city where modern meets the age of old, the plague that was killing the male population was keeping most of the cityfolk occupied...
Meaning the top of the Prudential building, a rectangular gray, numerously windowed building, was not being looked at.
And from its top antenna, we see Orion, the boy in black who fought the demigod in New York, hanging from the top of the spiral, a metal device beeping on his chest.
That, you see, is what one might call a dead man's switch, and the reason for the predicament. If the device is interfered in anyway by a god, kaboom. As such, not even being a god can get the device off.
The only real way to get him down was for him to wake him up...but that was only possible, without the dead man going kaboom, if he woke up.
Something his captor wasn't going to allow to happen
Looking over from her moon lit vantage point, she spotted a bio ship flying towards them...
Another martian...this would be fun
Short and cliffhangerish...but I am tired
Now then, to cover Artemis the goddess, who while having some basis on the Moon Heir Artemis in my stories, is not the Percy Jackson one, but the DC one, with some of the Marvel Artemis the goddess thrown in. One of the Patron Goddesses of the Amazons, she is stronger than most of the other non orig six Olympian gods, you could justify that by the fact that this group; Ares, Aphrodite, Athena, Hephaestus, Apollo, Artemis, Hermes and Dionysus, only Ares, Athena, Apollo and Athena are really combat gods, Apollo however is more a healer, and as war is slowly fading out of mortal lives (We are a bit more peaceful these days than in Sparta), Ares is weaker. Artemis, as a feminist goddess, would get more power as females are more empowered...if you had to look at it that way.
Omake
An entirely different universe's canon
Another Justice league vs the 'Ultimate threat'
The crisis begins...
Screams, explosions, buildings exploding...
Now how does this look familiar...
Oh yeah, this is a superhero world...that happens every other day, as the 'ultimate enemy' was blasted back, a dark glow surrounding him as the Justice League of earth 587 flew at him.
A huge wall of glowing purple rose up as their attack was held off, as the team of heroes was knocked back, the leader stumbling back in green light.
"Who is this guy?" he was dressed in a green set of clothing like the stuff IronMan wears underneath, with a huge watch on his arm.
For the justice league of Earth 587 (well, the 587th earth Taisune has visited anyway), was made of CN heroes.
Omniman (Ben Tennyson, 'the every man'), Monobrow (Ed, 'the strongest weirdo who bends the laws of reality itself', who sort of resembled the Creeper), Metalman (Rex Salazar, 'capable of creating metal constructs from his hands', who was dressed in a red version of the Green Lantern uniform), Super Science (Dexter in a battle suit, 'the smartest man alive, who was dressed like a mask less Mr. Terrific), Red Comet, Blue Comet and Green Comet (The Power Puff girls, 'the triple threats', all dressed in colors like Invisible Woman), The Samurai (Jack 'the time traveling warrior'...he looks the same), Te-Xuan-Ze (Juniper Lee 'mistress of might and magic, who was dressed like a scarfless Ms. Marvel) and Cryptic (Zak Saturday, master of beasts', who resembled Animal man)
"I, am the king of kings, the master of all things...I AM THE ULTIMATE!"
This dark being roared as he surged at the 10 member strong team of heroes...knowing he'd win this fight...and absorb their power.
