Good friends are hard to come by…
Wonder Woman and Electric made it to Themyscira. "This is my mother." Diana said as they landed on the island. Diana's mother stood closest to the door of the Underworld.
"I'm sorry Diana…" Raine said sadly. Diana nodded. "This way." Diana said and they headed towards the doorway. The door was open…
"This is not good is it?" Raine asked. Diana shook her head. "No it is not."
"Will Zeus help?" Electric asked. "No, he would send me to fix this."
"Why hasn't Hades caused trouble?" Raine asked. Wonder Woman watched the door for a moment and then replied. "No, I think he is the one in trouble."
"Well, shell we go and help your uncle?" Electric asked. Wonder Woman smiled and began to walk through the door. Of course people would love to control the underworld… The power it would bring… Being able to raise the dead and stop death… That's if people are crazy enough or power hungry to try and go up against a God…
"Hades is not death itself…" Electric whispered to herself. Wonder Woman smiled at her. "Are you sure about that? He is the brother of Zeus, and he has tried to trick Zeus a couple of times. But he is a god, and quite powerful in his own right. He can stop death and raise the dead." Electric shivered at the thought of ghosts and zombies rising from the underworld. Just then there was a screech causing both Wonder Woman and Electric to swing around in a fighting stance. The creature looked human but it wasn't, it had wings of a bat. And there were more right behind it.
Electric and Wonder Woman flew up to in the air. Then Wonder Woman charged down towards them. Electric let the power come to the surface and then she held out her hand electric bolts hit the creatures causing the creatures to shake and scream uncontrollably. As those creatures went down more came. Wonder Woman managed to take them down and then a third lot came out. "I've had enough of this…" Electric whispered angrily and flew higher up and spread her arms out wide and soon a storm came from nowhere.
The creatures screamed in fear and ran off back towards the way they came from. Electric looked confused as she came back to the ground. "What just happened?" She asked Wonder Woman.
"You have the same power as Zeus…" Wonder Woman replied who looked deep in thought. "What?" Electric asked when she noticed the expression on her face.
"I do not know… I will have to look in to it a bit more when we have finished things here." Wonder Woman replied. Just as they turned around to go deeper in to the underworld something caught their eyes… A man flying away. "Who was that?" Electric asked herself more than Wonder Woman.
"I don't know. But we need to find Hades." Wonder Woman replied and Electric nodded and followed her. Hades was in his throne room on his throne in chains. Wonder Woman went over to him and was about to cut him loose when there were more screams. "Electric, take care of them." Wonder Woman said Electric wasted no time she flew back out of the throne room.
"Who is that?" Hades asked when Wonder Woman freed him. "You do not know Uncle?" Wonder Woman asked him.
"I have been chained to my throne and the chains were draining me of my energy. I thank you my niece, now where is the man who tried to take over the underworld?" Hades replied as he felt his energy return. Just as he and Wonder Woman exited the throne room they saw Electric fighting a man. She was punching and kicking him with electric bolts surrounding her body. But the man kept on blocking her.
"Enough of this." She said getting tired of the fight. She decided to end it so she went higher up in the air. The man laughed at her. "Do you think you can stop me?" Electric's hair and eyes turned white and she raised her harms out to the side and a thick dark heavy cloud formed and then lightning and thunder sounded.
"Zeus." Hades whispered. "Is this girl a daughter of Zeus?" Hades asked. Wonder Woman shook her head. "No, she was struck by lightning at a young age. She barely survived and now she has the ability to control the weather. But I wonder…"
The man looked scared when he saw how Electric controlled the storm. Electric formed a small tornado and it lifted the man and the to the feet of Hades. "He is all yours God of the dead." Electric said as she landed next to Wonder Woman.
"We have to go; our job here is done." Wonder Woman whispered Electric while Hades was distracted. "We have to get out of here before Hades." Electric nodded. Electric couldn't help but feel afraid. Hades is a god and this is his domain. And in the Underworld heroes are zeros.
Wonder Woman grabbed her hand and led her out of the Underworld. They were just at the door when they heard the man screaming. "Hades will kill that man…" Electric said with a bit of sympathy in her voice. "Normally I would take the man to prison but this is the Underworld… And he threatened a god and attacked a god. If he lives he will just go back and try again."
"Like the Joker escaping countless times and killing over and over." Electric whispered. "Yes, like the Joker."
"How are we going to free your mother and your sisters?" Electric changed the subject.
"I do not know." Wonder Woman sighed with great sadness as she locked the door. Just as the door locked there was a bang. Hades nearly escaped.
They made it back to the Batcave. Batman was at Raine's side the minute she and Wonder Woman entered, Superman wasn't that far behind him. "Are you hurt?" Batman asked both Raine and Wonder Woman. "We are fine. A man tried to take over from Hades. He was a sorcerer. He had Hades chained to his throne and the chain had a spell on it that drained Hades' energy." Wonder Woman explained. Batman looked at Raine for confirmation. Raine smiled at him and wrapped her arms around his waist and said, "just a little tired."
"What did he look like?" Batman said going over to the computer. "He was old. And he had a blue tunic on, he had brown eyes and brown hair, skinny, and he stood about five eleven." Raine described the man she fought. Batman typed the information into the computer and it came up with a hit.
"Felix Faust." Batman read the name. He looked at Wonder Woman and asked. "Does that name sound familiar to you?"
Wonder Woman nodded. "The first recorded whereabouts of the powerful now known as Felix Faust, is from circa fifty thousand BC. The King of Kor was Nommo, the prime wizard of his time and the guardian of the mystic power of the Flame of life. The evil sorcerer battled Nommo, attempting to use the Flame's power to his own corrupt ends. Nommo called the flame's power in to himself and defeated. Felix had a thirst for power."
Superman made a noise of disgust. "Nearly every single villain we come across is after power." Raine turned to face him.
"How many villains manage to attack a god and put that god in chains? And this god is Hades…" Raine replied raising an eyebrow.
"Good point." Superman said. "I think you have been with Bruce for too long." He added jokingly. Batman didn't glare at the man of steel because he was right. Raine, aka Electric had picked up some of his habits. But neither Bruce Wayne or Batman will give her up without a fight.
Batman turned to Raine and said, "go up and get some rest. I'll be up shortly." Raine nodded and smiled and nodded at Superman and Wonder Woman in a good bye and went up the left which led to the manor where Alfred will be waiting with a cold drink.
"Thank you Alfred." Raine smiled at the British butler. "My pleasure Ms Raine." Alfred replied. "Bruce said he will be up shortly." Raine said she laid down on a long lounge chair.
Back down in the cave Wonder Woman remembered the thought she had about Raine and how she got her powers. "I need to talk to my father…" Wonder Woman whispered. She gave Superman a kiss and then flew off. "It is still strange to see you two as a couple." Batman commented not looking at Superman who smiled. "I'll see you later, I have to finish an article that is due tomorrow morning." Superman then flew off.
Batman sighed and turned off the computer. He then took off the cowl and cape and then the rest of the Batsuit and changed to a pair of track suit pants and a black shirt and went up to the manor. In the living room that was closer to the office Raine was a sleep on the long lounge chair. Bruce smiled and brushed a strand of hair away from her sleeping face, he then picked her up gently in his arms and carried her up to his bedroom where he placed her gently on the bed and then laid down next to her, pulling her in to his arms.
The next day Raine was with Ethen and Jason at a café not far from the GCPD building, when a tall beautiful woman black hair and blue eyes that were hiding behind thick glasses came in to the café and looked around, as if she was looking for someone. Her eyes stopped on Raine and then began to walk towards her. Raine had to admit that the woman made those glasses look stylish. "Wonder Woman." Raine whispered to her brothers when she noticed them staring at the woman with their mouths wide open. When they heard that the woman was Wonder Woman in disguise their mouths closed shut. Ethen and Jason obviously hadn't seen Wonder Woman in civilian clothes before…
"Hey Diana, come and sit down." Raine greeted with a smile. Diana smiled and sat down next Raine. "I want to thank you for your help yesterday… Even though you were a bit frightened…" Diana said.
"What are friends for?" Raine said in reply. Diana smiled at her. "Friends?" Diana liked Raine very much, but Diana didn't have much human friends…
"Yeah, friends… me and you." Raine smiled at her. Diana nodded and a smiled started to appear on her face. "friends." She agreed. Then after a few minutes of chatting and laughing Diana got serious. "As your friend, I must tell you something…"
"What?" Raine asked.
Diana paused for a moment to look at Raine and her brothers before asking. "Do you have any Greek relatives?"
Logan had to think for a moment. "Yes, our great, great Grandmother, on our father's side was Greek… Our great grandfather was able to trace our family tree all the way back to ancient Greece. He told our grandfather who old me one of our ancestor's name… Ohh damn it, I can't remember the name… I do remember that he said that it meant love and affection… I think that's what the name means." He replied.
"Agape." Raine said.
Logan lightly hit the table. "That's the name. Why are you asking about our ancestors?"
"Because my father told me through Hermes that he met and fell in love with a beautiful woman named Agape…"
Ethen looked at his siblings before turning back to Diana. "Are you saying that your father, the King of the Gods, had an affair with our ancestor? And that we are related to Zeus, and you?"
"I am."
"Surely Hera heard of the affair…" Raine started to say. "How are we alive?"
"Zatanna said that all of you had your powers all this time. My father your ancestors had power and Agape was able to protect her baby by tricking Hera in to thinking the baby was not Zeus' child. It just took a serious blow to the body to trigger the power. And Raine…" Diana turned her attention to Raine who had her head down taking it all in. Diana waited until Raine made eye contact.
"Raine, you inherited Zeus's power to control the weather. Your brothers inherited their powers from Agape's children or her children's children."
"Well then…" Jason said after a minute silence. Everyone looked at him. "Our family is just getting bigger and bigger doesn't it?" Jason said. Raine smiled and nodded in agreement.
John and Ian stood there with their mouths open. Ryan was still trying to understand what was happening. Logan, Ethen, Jason, Raine and Diana told them everything. "Will Hera try and get revenge?" Ian finally asked.
I do not know…" Diana said.
"We are going to just have to wait and find out. Until that happens we get on with our lives." Superman said coming in to the room. "You been listening to our conversation?" Logan asked him.
"Don't worry Logan, Diana would have told him anyway." Raine defended Superman against her brother and she walked to the warp pad and disappeared.
She re-appeared in the Batcave. She pulled the tracer her had placed on Ethen last night when Ethen picked up Ryan who was playing with Dick (who is visiting Wayne Manor). "You know I was going to tell you anyway." She muttered putting the tracer on the table. "Your brother made the tracer smaller and with a little camera in it. I wanted to test it out." Batman said not looking from the computer screen.
"So you bugged your girlfriend's brother?" Raine accused.
"Yes." He admitted, he knew he was going to pay for that later. No matter what the punishment is, it will always be served in the bedroom…
"For your punishment, you are not going to be punished… You like it too much… Me tying you to the bed…" The original punishment was to tie him up to the bed so he couldn't touch her during the night while she teased him…
"I'm going to stay the night with a friend." Raine said and she flew out of the cave. Batman held in a groan. Alfred chuckled before exiting the Batcave, leaving the Dark Knight to pout.
Raine came back though. When she got a message that Batman was injured from fighting with Killer Croc. "I'll be fine, Raine." Bruce grunted out when John put his dislocated shoulder back in to place. Then Raine guided Bruce to his bedroom and she slipped under the covers next to him. Bruce pulled her on top of him and kissed her hard but with passion.
"Now what about my punishment?" He asked in a husky voice. Raine ran a hand along his arm. "I think you have been through enough pain tonight…" She said and lowered her mouth back over his.
"I love you." He whispered against her mouth. Those three words caught her by surprise. Then after a minute of just staring in to his eyes, she replied…
"I love you too."
With that said he rolled on top of her causing her to gasp in surprise and then giggle. Bruce grinned at her and then lowered his head to claim her lips.
YES! I'm done. I hope you liked it.
I'm sorry for the late update. I've been super busy lately. And I'm sorry if it's too short…
