Chapter 3: Homecoming

"So why did you call this meeting, Jonn'?" Hawkman asked.

"Because I asked him to," Wonder Woman explained. "There's trouble on Themiscyria and I need you all's help."

"What kind of trouble?" Superman asked.

"An invasion of assassins' kind," Wonder Woman answered.

"You sure this is a good idea?" Batman asked.

"Why wouldn't it be?" Green Arrow asked.

"Because in mythology the Amazons despised men," Batman answered. "They may not like men coming to their island."

"How do you that?" Wonder Woman asked.

"I've read and studied mythology," Batman informed her.

"Well, we're still gonna help them right?" Flash asked. "Besides maybe we can change their opinion on their men hating thing."

"Well, you all can go while me and Jonn' can man the Watchtower," Hawkman said. "Just in case someone tries something while you guys are gone."

"Also it's better if we don't all go so they don't think we're invading them," Jonn' pointed out.

"Good plan," Wonder Woman responded. "We'll leave right away." Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Batman and Superman all headed for the javelin bay. Then just when they were getting there Superman noticed that Batman wasn't behind him.

"This could take a while," Batman informed Alfred over his comlink. "Just letting you know incase I don't come back in a few days."

"Should I send Batgirl and Robin?" Alfred asked.

"No, just let them know I'm leaving for a bit," Batman told him. "Someone has to watch Gotham."

"I'll see later then sir," Alfred said. "Cave out."

"You coming?" Superman asked as soon as Alfred had finished talking.

"Yes," Batman answered. They all were in a javelin and Flash was about to sit in the pilot seat when Batman took it instead. "Do you even have a pilot's license?"

"Do you?" Flash asked back as he took a seat behind him.

"Yes," Batman answered him. Green Lantern took the co-pilot seat as Batman flew the plane out of the Watchtower.

"When do I get fly these things?" Flash asked.

"When you start paying for them," Batman responded.

"But I thought Green Arrow pays for this stuff," Flash admitted.

"I paid for the Watchtower but Batman paid for the javelins and upgrades," Green Arrow informed him.

"Makes sense," Flash responded. Just then the plane started heating up and they sped toward the Earth. Then after about two minutes it was over and they were flying normally.

"Are you insane?!" Flash exclaimed.

"It was either that or flying for at least ten minutes down," Batman explained. "And time is of the essential."

"Yeah, but that was WAY too risk," Green Lantern informed him. "And that's coming from an expert pilot."

"Wonder Woman do you know the way to Themiscyria?" Batman asked.

"Yes," Wonder Woman answered.

"We're currently right below Greece, is it close by?" Batman asked.

"Yes," Wonder Woman repeated. "But I haven't flown a plane before."

"You're not going to fly the plane," Batman informed her. He pushed a button causing the bottom ramp to open. "You can fly and show us the way. We'll be right behind you." Wonder Woman nodded as she flew out and then Batman closed the ramp behind her. Wonder Woman flew into the cover of a thick fog. Batman followed her and soon they arrived at Themiscyria.

Batman pushed some buttons and that made the javelin go onto auto-pilot and he pushed another button to open the bottom ramp. The javelin was directly above Themiscyria now. They all flew or jumped down onto the ground and they joined the fight.

Wonder Woman was fighting the assassins in the palace as she tried to find her mother. She fought through several of them before she was directly in front of the throne. She had stolen one of the assassin's swords and was using it to take out the men. The fight seemed to be going in her favor.

Then the assassins retreated out of the palace. Wonder Woman went to follow them and then she noticed that most of the army had retreated and was sailing away. Then she noticed a fire at the docks.

Batman was glad that Jonn' had stayed behind other wise the fire would have possibly destroyed him. Batman knew that since the assassins were retreating that they had to have gotten what they came for. He also knew that if they were to meet this army again they needed to cut of some of it off. So he burned one of the ships with a match he kept in his belt. This made some of assassins easier to kill off for the Amazons. He grabbed one of them and took him into a corner.

"Why are you here?" Batman asked.

"Our master wanted something from here," he told him.

"What?!" Batman demanded.

"I don't know," the assassin admitted. "But know this…" The assassin's mouth had foam coming out. "Your days are numbered. The master is coming and he will destroy you." His head fell back and Batman realized he was dead through use of drugs.

"Mother!" Wonder Woman exclaimed.

"Diana!" Hippolyta exclaimed. They hugged each other in the palace. "It's go to see you again." They broke the hug.

"You as well. I've missed you," Diana responded.

"What about me?" Artemis asked. She was right behind Hippolyta.

"Artemis," Diana said. She gave Artemis a hug and then broke it. "I've missed you too."

"My queen, my sisters have informed me that there are five men on our island," an Amazon informed her. "So far they have escaped our grasp."

"Have them brought to me," Hippolyta ordered. "ALIVE." The Amazon nodded and left the throne room.

"Mother those men are my teammates," Diana explained.

"You brought them here?" Artemis asked. "Diana!"

"I needed back-up," Diana explained. She turned to her mother. "Mother, you won't find them. But I can. I'll ask them to come here so you can meet them."

"You trust these men, Diana?" Hippolyta asked.

"They're good men, Mother, trust me," Diana informed her.
