Chapter 2: A Call Back
"My queen!" Artemis exclaimed. She ran into the throne room where Queen Hippolyta was. "There's an army invading the island." Hippolyta got off her throne and walked out of the semi-circle that was in front of her throne.
"How did they get there?" Hippolyta asked.
"We don't know," Artemis admitted. "We're holding them off the best we can but they're proving to be a challenge, even for us."
"I know what we need to do," Hippolyta informed her. Hippolyta ran and fought her way to the temple of Hermes with Artemis behind her. Once they were inside the temple they summoned Hermes.
"Hermes, we need you to contact Diana and ask her to come back to us," Hippolyta told Hermes.
"What's the magic word?" Hermes said. Hippolyta sighed.
"Would you PLEASE contact Diana?" Hippolyta said annoyed.
"Of course," Hermes responded with a smile. "I'll do it right away." He then disappeared in a vat of smoke causing Hippolyta and Artemis to cough.
"I hate it when he does that," Hippolyta said to no one in particular.
Diana was walking towards her quarters. She had just finished checking the monitors for her shift of monitor study and was ready for a little break. Her door swung open automatically and she saw someone lying on her bed. The lights weren't on.
"Who's in here?" Diana demanded. She turned on the lights.
"Just me, Princess," Hermes said.
"Hermes," Diana said a little startled. She dropped to a knee as she bowed. "Forgive me."
"Diana, it's okay. I would have done the exact same thing," Hermes told her. Diana stood up to face Hermes. "Now onto business. Your mother, Queen Hippolyta, has asked me to ask you to come back to Themiscyria and help her in her time of need. There's been a breach on the island, an army of assassins I believe. And she needs your help."
"I will go," Diana told him.
"Very well," Hermes responded. "Now don't dilly daily. Time is running out for them, Diana. No pressure." Hermes then disappeared as quickly as he had come. Diana then put her hand to her com link.
"Wonder Woman to Jonn' can you hear me?" Diana asked.
"I hear you," Jonn' said.
"Call everyone and tell them to get to the conference room," Diana told him. "There's trouble at my home."
