Diana gazed up at her wonderful angel as she lay, cradled in Shayera's strong arms, two powerful wings wrapped around their two naked bodies, smiling softly as she allowed her lover to hold her, it felt so amazing to be held like this, to be able to make love to her Shayera without having to be scared of hurting her, to lay in her lover's arms submissively. She didn't care what the future held right now, just loving lying in her angel's arms.
Lex Luthor floated through the void of reality, the Anti-Life equation had ripped Darkseid apart instantaneously, but him, he could now feel every atom of existence, he could see so much more than the void around him, feel and sense the cosmic forces swirling around, he felt more powerful than he could have ever thought possible, the hairs on his arms, on the back of his neck, all across his body standing on end, what looked like lightning shooting around him. He felt far more powerful than when he bonded with Brainiac, his entire body crackling with energy.
"I am looking at the stars. They're so far away. And their light takes so long to reach us. All we ever see of stars are their old photographs." He whispered soflty, "Yet even old photographs can inspire me". With that the arcing lightning crashed into his spine, tearing the molecules of his body apart, beginning to rip him to shreds. Lex Luthor felt pain and felt fear for the very last time as he exploded, each atom of his being charged with power before being scattered into the void, his conciousness remaining within his atoms, whispering softly in his mind "I feel like a god, yet I know if there is a god, I'm nothing like him"
The explosion ripped through the dimensions, through time and through space, returning to the point shortly after when Luthor had been taken by the Anti-Life equation. As one the magicians and the telepaths of the world fell to their knees and screamed out in terror, thousands of sleeping being's dreams filled with visions of the blue man, a deadly and powerful being returning to earth to take the throne of the gods and to rule over mankind.
Hera looked over at Aphrodite, Athena, Gia, Nyx and Nemesis, the goddesses have congregated together upon Olympus, each and every one having seen the blue man in that brief moment along with the other magical beings, knowing that he was a danger to them and to their followers, even if Zeus thought he was indestructible and could destroy the blue man with ease and as a result had forbade the gods and goddesses attempting to destroy him, no doubt wanting the glory himself.
"Ladies, we can't fight this blue man ourselves, we all know Zeus would become enraged with us, yet we know this being can control matter, even we are made from matter and this being has a greater control over matter than even Zeus". Hera spoke out, murmurs erupting from the other women "We shall have to send a mortal who worships us to do battle with this blue man, this is why I suggest we send Diana to the battle, she is already gifted by us all, she's the most skilled warrior who still worships us and she knows man's world better than any other Amazon".
"DID YOU NOT SEE WHAT MEN DID TO HER?" Aphrodite roared at Hera, the Queen of the gods glaring at her, Aphrodite quickly shutting up.
"Diana experienced the worst mankind can throw out yet doesn't wish for their destruction, another quality I doubt any Amazon would possess. Any of her sisters would have tried to hurt man, remember what happened with Aresia". The Goddesses nodded sagely as Aphrodite closed her eyes, worrying for the poor Amazon.
Slowly Diana's eyes slid open again, realizing she had again fallen asleep in her lover's arms, smiling up at Shayera's gorgeous scarred features, her sapphire eyes looking up into the two emerald eyes which were gazing lovingly down at her. The two superheroines so focussed on one another neither heard the third presence in their room until the figure cleared her throat, Shayera's head snapping up in shock, one hand moving to try and cover herself, the other still holding Diana to her chest, still having not quite adopted the Amazon's relaxed attitude towards nudity. Diana on the other hand made no move to cover herself, though going slightly slack-jawed, aside from Hephaestus, Apollo and Ares she had never met any of the Gods of Olympus, it was easy enough to tell who this was. Quickly struggling out of Shayera's arms she slid herself down onto one knee, bowing before the slightly glowing figure much to Shayera's confusion.
"Oh great Hera, why do you bestow upon me the honour of your presence" the Amazon Princess asked as she bowed before her patron Goddess, Hera giving a sad smile.
"Rise Princess Diana, feel you shall not be so honoured by my presence by the time I leave" Hera told Diana with a sad tone, stepping over to the bed and gesturing for Diana and Shayera, who seemed to just be getting her head around the fact that Hera was there, the goddess whom Diana always asked for help and seemed to adore above all other deities. Slowly the two lovers sat beside the Goddess, both a little unnerved by her presence, Diana due to Hera speaking to her like an equal, Shayera because of the raw power wafting off Hera. "Diana, Shayera…" Hera started slowly before sighing, "The gods need you to return to Man's world, there is a force capable of threatening even Zeus which your friends, the Kryptonian, the Martian, the Speedster, the Ring-Bearer and the Bat and the many others under there command shall attempt to fight it, but I have foreseen without your help they shall be unsuccessful at stopping this danger".
Slowly Shayera looked over at Hera before standing and putting her hands on her hips, a dangerous expression crossing the red-headed Amazon's feature's.
"And why should we risk our lives for the people of 'Man's World'?" she demanded with a stern expression, gesturing to the scars across her face "And why will having us there change the entire battle?".
"Shayera!" Diana gasped out in shock at the way her lover was speaking to the queen of the gods, standing and putting a hand on Shayera's arm to calm her slightly, "I apologize for my lover Hera" she whispered, Hera chuckling slightly before smiling.
"Their valid questions Diana, and your lover has every right to be angry with me for asking this of you both" Hera placated, slowly waving her hands in a complex manor, an orb growing out in the air, "This will show you the answer to your second question Shayera". Slowly the orb unclouded itself, showing within it a memory of Wally yelling drunkenly at the bar before switching, showing a clearly distraught Superman wrapped in a dark haired woman's arms, switching again to Batman, sitting on the hood of the Batmobile, a single tear running out from under his cowl as he whispered "I'm sorry Diana, Shayera…", Hera vanishing the orb and looking at the two stunned heroines. "Your leaving affected all of them, many of the Justice League are devastated by you both being gone" she told the two shocked women, neither having realized how badly their friends must have been hurt.
"As for why, the force of destruction shall seek to destroy all superpowered beings, it will turn it's attention to the Amazons and attempt to kill you both and all your sisters" she told them grimly. "I shall not force you to go, but I shall leave these with you". Slowly she lifted a hand, two identical gold rings appearing and floating down to rest on the bed. "Those will change you into new superhero armour and shall temporarily change your appearance to conceal your identities, if you take the rings off you shall return to your usual forms and your armour shall vanish" Hera explained softly "I wish you well in whatever it is you decide my children" she told them gently before vanishing, the rings dropping down onto the beds.
Slowly the two lovers lifted a gold ring each from the bed, looking at one another and nodding in understanding, sliding on the rings Hera left for them, a glow bursting out across the skin of the two women, brightening until the forge was completely engulfed in the shining light, their bodies morphing and clothes changing.
Shayera's beautiful red hair lightening until she was left with long blonde tresses, her emerald eyes turning an unearthly yet beautiful amber, her wings shrinking away into her back and scars melting away, her dress vanishing to be replaced by a gold bustier, a gold cape which nearly reached her feet appearing on her back and pieces of armour forming over the tops of her legs, a pair of gold panties swimming into existence, her sandals remaining as her Amazon bracelets turned from silver to gold, a domino mask forming on her face before an Amazon helmet morphed over it.
Diana's hair on the other hand slowly turned from its usual raven beauty into lovely red locks, almost identical to how Shayera's usually was, her blue eyes turning a slate grey, her scars vanishing her whole body becoming a few inches shorter. Her own dress disappeared, replaced by a pair of what seemed like armoured shorts crossed with panties, gold with a silver trim. A gold bustier formed across her ample chest with silver Greek symbols across it, bracelets turning gold but still with a silver trim, a slightly shorter cape than Shayera's appearing on her back, the same gold and silver as the rest of her armour, a domino mask and gold and silver horned helmet forming on her head, looking slowly over at her lover with a smile.
"You know you look really sexy as a redhead" Shayera commented softly, stepping over to her now shorter lover, smiling lovingly down at her before kissing her hungrily, hands running over her lover's armour and bare skin, tongues dancing together for a few seconds before the two women broke apart breathing heavily.
"As much as I'd like to fuck you right now Shayera, I think we have to be leaving to explain to mother" Diana whispered breathlessly, Shayera giving a small groan but nodding softly.
"What do you think we should name ourselves?" she asked softly, "Since we're hardly Hawkgirl or Wonder Woman anymore"
"Angelos for you, Prinkipissa for me?" Diana suggested as she slowly pulled open the door, looking round at an extremely bemused Shayera.
"Diana, no offense but 'Prinkipissa' would not work as a heroine name" Shayera chuckled out, "But I like Angelos. Where did you get those ideas from?" she asked, knowing for some reason it fit her
"Angelos is ancient Greek for Angel, and Prinkipissa is ancient Greek for Princess" Diana explained, thinking for a few seconds before asking "How about Aurora? She's the Greek goddess of the dawn, I thought I could name myself after her" she asked, Shayera stepping forwards and taking her lover's arm
"Angelos and Aurora it is" she whispered, giving Diana a quick peck on the lips, though it was still enough to make the Amazon Princess feel slightly dazed. "I love you Diana"
"I love you too Shayera"
A/N: First as a response to Silverknight. First it's harder to deflect a brick with a bracelet, second she didn't realize it was coming since she was worried about Shayera. Not to mention the whole rocks thing, she was hardly trying to deflect anything. Furthermore we've already seen how much it hurts and nearly breaks Shayera when the people of earth hate her guts, I doubt Diana would manage much better in that regard. Furthermore the only other prominent female characters in JLU which spring to mind are Huntress, Black Canary, Zatanna, Vixen, Supergirl and Stargirl, none of whom I doubt would work as well in this kind of story. The Luthor idea is something I've wanted to do for a long time, never considered the Luthor/Anti-Life Equation way of it happening before but I think it works. Please Review 83
