Is it weird that in the DC Super Hero Girls universe, Wonder Woman is in high school while Superman and probably Batman are already adults? I thought it was weird at first, but I grew to accept it. It's an alternate universe so you have to take what it gives. And it makes sense. How can you make a show about DC's best superheroines without including the #1 superheroine in not just DC history but comic book history: Wonder Woman?

CHAPTER 3: WONDER WOMAN

Lena Luthor was currently watching Lois Lane reporting about Super Hero High's latest victory against Giganta. She was being taken to Belle Reve to be incarcerated and treated for her exposure to poison ivy.

"... the damage from the battle is quite massive, but billionaire Bruce Wayne has just offered to visit Metropolis to donate millions to help repair the damages. Judging by the small red pieces of crystal on the sidewalk, it's safe to assume that Giganta's extremely violent rampage was caused by none other than a red Kryptomite. Lena Luthor, you better watch out, because the..."

Lena shuts down the monitor, not wishing to hear any more.

"Those goody-two-shoes will be in for a big surprise once they find out that I'm not at LexCorp," she started. "Good thing I discovered this secret underground lair. It's much bigger than my old lab."

Lena then looks at the many power-dampening pods that contain all of students from Super Hero High, minus the ones who faced Giganta.

"My distraction was a success," said Lena. "While Supergirl and her closest buddies were busy fighting a Red-Kryptomite-powered Giganta, I was able to kidnap all of you in one fell swoop."

"One question. Why me and Miss Martian first?" asked Beast Boy.

"Because you have a dog's super smell and Miss Martian has mind-reading powers. I couldn't risk any of you finding out the Double Dare Twins were on the inside," said Lena.

"Why frame me if you were just gonna kidnap me?" asked Catwoman.

"When Harley interrupted, I had to move up my plans," said Lena. "At least the Double Dare Dweebs managed to get what I asked them to steal. Lucius Fox's new power source."

Green Kryptomites were currently carrying the power source into Lena's new machine.

"That looks complex," Cyborg commented.

"It's supposed to be, tin man," said Lena.

"These glass coffins can't hold me for long," Shiva said arrogantly.

"You're welcome to try, but none of you are escaping," said Lena. "Not until I'm ready to let you out."

"I am starting to get the heebie of the jeebies," said Starfire.

"Our friends will come for us, Lena," Hawkgirl said confidently. "The Red Kryptomite of yours just raised a literal red flag. They know you're the perp."

"I know, which is why I'm moving up my plans... again," said Lena.

"I blame Flash," said Big Barda.

"Hey, I had no idea I was running into a trap," said Flash. "Running? Ha. Speed pun."

"I wish these pods can put him on ice," Frost muttered, annoyed.

"Okay, enough with the puns!" Lena shouted. "It's time for all of you to get a second taste of my new and improved Red Kryptomites."

Lena opens a large pod full of Red Krptomites. They start giggling evilly as they walked towards the pods containing the heroes.

Supergirl smashes through the front door of LexCorp, ready to start punching. Wonder Woman does a flashy entrance that involves spinning like a top in mid-air before landing. Batgirl detonates a smoke bomb before flipping inside. The three girls stood in a formation and made battle poses as if they were in a movie.

However, there was no one inside.

"So much for the dramatic entrance," said Supergirl.

"I know Lena's smart, but I didn't expect her to be this smart," said Batgirl.

"Well, never underestimate your enemy, I guess," said Wonder Woman.

"I still can't get a hold of anyone," Batgirl said, trying to contact her fellow students to no avail.

Batgirl turns on one of the computers.

"Or maybe Lena's as stupid as we thought," said Batgirl. "She forgot to clear out the files of her evil plan."

Supergirl and Wonder Woman take a look at Lena's files along with Batgirl, seeking to know Lena's plan.

"So, Lena sent the Double Dare Twins to kidnap our friends and steal some power source?" Wonder Woman asked, baffled as to why Lena would send the Double Dare Twins of all people to do her dirty work.

"Guess we know where they get their Kryptonite from," said Supergirl, remembering the time when the Double Dare Twins used Kryptonite on her.

"I don't see anything here about using Red K on Giganta," said Batgirl.

"Guess that confirms your Harley-forced-the-big-baddie-to-change-strategy theory," said Wonder Woman.

"Oh no," Batgirl said worriedly. "Lena upgraded her Red Kryptomites with small samples of Eclipso's Black Diamond. Not only can she use the Red Ks to turn our us into rage machines but she can control us as well, make us help her take over the city."

"We gotta warn the others," said Wonder Woman.

"I've tried contacting the others five times already and they won't respond," said Batgirl.

"Oh, no! What if Lena got to them to while we were fighting Giganta?" Supergirl wondered worryingly.

Batgirl tried calling her friends again. "Cyborg, do you read me? Flash, can you hear me? Lady Shiva, do you copy?"

"If Lena got to all of them then... we're all that's left," said Wonder Woman, worried as well. "And Bumblebee is still in recovery."

"Not to mention her battery pack is completely broken," Batgirl mentioned.

"Six of us against a whole school of supers... I like those odds," Supergirl said confidently.

"I prefer not to fight our friends, Supergirl... again," said Wonder Woman.

Batgirl suddenly slams her fist of the table, startling her friends. She was trying to decrypt the file that contains Lena's big plan, but she couldn't hack into it no matter how hard she tried. Batgirl was starting to lose her temper.

"Whoa! Easy, girl," said Wonder Woman, trying to calm down her friend.

"Lena's big plan is on this file, but I can't hack into it," Batgirl said angrily.

"Okay, that's it. You've been on edge all day and I'm sick of it," said Wonder Woman. "What is wrong with you? And don't try to evade the question."

"We're just worried about you, Batgirl," said Supergirl.

Batgirl sighs in defeat before answering. "My mom. When I worked with Batman and she found out, she flipped. Unlike dad, she never became okay with it. Then I moved here to Metropolis to go to Super Hero High, and she chose to stay in Gotham because she didn't want to be part of my, and I quote, dangerous life. And now, I just got a message from her saying that she's coming for my birthday."

"Well, now we know why the Red Kryptomite didn't affect you. You're already boiling with anger," said Wonder Woman. "Batgirl, there's nothing to worry about. I've had my experience with a disapproving mother. She wasn't very supportive of my decision to come to Super Hero High, but she has grown to accept it. Maybe your mother is coming because she's accepting you as Batgirl."

"I wish," Batgirl scoffed as she continued to look through Lena's digital files.

"Hey, if your mom has problems with Super Hero High, then she can talk to us. We're your friends, so we'll be there by your side when she comes," said Supergirl.

"You can count on us, Batgirl," said Wonder Woman.

"Wonder Woman, you might wanna see this," said Batgirl, having found something else within Lena's files. "She's not just planning on using the hypnotic Red K on Super Hero High. She's planning on using them against the Amazons."

"With my mother and her army under Lena's command, she'll be unstoppable," Wonder Woman said, worried about her home. "I have to go to Themyscira right now. Can you two handle things from here?"

"Black and Blue. Night and Day. The Dark Angel and The Girl of Steel. We got this covered," Batgirl said with confidence.

"The Dark Angel?" Supergirl questioned.

"Batman is called the Dark Knight. Robin is the Boy Wonder. Shouldn't I get my own nickname?" Batgirl said.

"Keep working on that," said Wonder Woman. "Good luck, girls."

"Good luck to you, too," said Batgirl.

Supergirl gives Wonder Woman a hug and says, "Be safe."

"Always," said Wonder Woman.

Wonder Woman waves goodbye to her friends as she flies off to take her Invisible Jet back home to Themyscira. Batgirl and Supergirl exchange worried looks as they watch their Amazonian friend fly off on her own.

Wonder Woman arrives at Themyscira in her Invisible Jet. She almost burned her engines flying at top speed for an awfully long time, but she was in a hurry to protect her family from Lena's plan. After almost crashing at the shore, Wonder Woman flies to the Hall of Themyscira to find her mother, Queen Hippolyta. She finds her in the throne room, back turned.

"Mother, I'm here," Wonder Woman said, hugging her mother.

"What are you doing back here, dear?" Hippolyta asked, back still turned.

"A villain named Lena Luthor is about to unleash something dangerous here on Themyscira. I came here to warn you and help you fight," said Wonder Woman.

"Aren't you busy helping your new super friends?" Hippolyta asked.

"I am, but I needed to come here. It's my home," said Wonder Woman.

"Home? After all this time, you still consider Themyscira you're home?" Hippolyta questioned. "You left Themyscira. You chose to leave Themyscira to attend some boarding school for mortals?"

"Mortals? Mother, that's strangely impolite of you to say," Wonder Woman, confused by her mother's strange behavior.

"What is impolite is turning your back on your people," said Hippolyta. "You may be my daughter, but that betrayal deserves punishment."

Three Amazon warriors enter the room, getting to their battle stance simultaneously. Wonder Woman knew they wanted to fight. But why is that? What did she do wrong? What is wrong with her mother?

"Uh, mom, if this about that April Fool's prank, I apologize again for that," said Wonder Woman.

"Oh, it's no prank, dear," said Hippolyta.

Hippolyta finally turns around, allowing her daughter to see her angry face. A Red Kryptomite came out from behind the throne, laughing evilly.

"I'm too late," Wonder Woman said with horror.

"Amazons, subdue my daughter and throw her in the dungeon!" Hippolyta ordered.

The three Amazons charged at Wonder Woman at the same time. Hippolyta sits down on her throne to watch.

Wonder Woman blocks all of the Amazon warriors' punches and kicks where her shield, but one managed to kick her shield away from her. She gets punched towards a column. A fist was coming towards her face, but she manages to duck away from it and jump to an open space.

"Mother, call them off, please," Wonder Woman begged. "Don't you see. You're being mind-controlled. There's a little beast behind your throne. It has the power to mess with your head, to make you angry."

"It's just a piece of crystal," said Hippolyta. "Don't try to distract me from ensuring your punishment goes through."

Wonder Woman continues to fight the three warriors. She takes flight to avoid them and retakes her shield. She throws it across the room. Her target dodged it, but the shield bounced off the wall and hit her in the back, knocking her down.

"I trained you better than this!" Hippolyta yelled at her warriors.

It was now a 2-on-1 fight between Wonder Woman and the two remaining Amazon warriors. She dodges and blocks their punches and kicks.

"You're not even trying, Diana," said Hippolyta. "You're using that shield more as a shield to hide behind like a coward instead of a weapon."

One Amazon warrior was pushing against the shield while Wonder Woman pushes back. The other Amazon warrior jumps off the column and heads straight for Wonder Woman to deliver a flying kick. Wonder Woman tumbles out of the way, causing the warrior to kick the other down. Wonder Woman knocks out the last Amazon warrior with her shield.

"I must admit, I am impressed, Diana," said Hippolyta. "They were the three best warriors of my army."

"Mom, please, snap out of it!" Wonder Woman begged.

"Enough talk, Diana," said Hippolyta. "If you want me to submit, you must defeat me."

"No, I don't want to fight my mother, well, not when you're under mind control," said Wonder Woman.

Hippolyta grabs her sword and charges at her daughter. Wonder Woman blocks her mother's first swing with her shield. She blocks swing after swing until she decided to go on the offensive. She flies over her mother, lands behind her, and then trips her with a low kick. Hippolyta gets back up and continues swinging. Wonder Woman keeps blocking. Wonder Woman smacks the sword away from her direction and then tries to use a spin kick, but Hippolyta grabs her leg and throws her towards a column.

"This was much more fun when I was little," Wonder Woman commented.

Hippolyta unleashes a flying kick, but Wonder Woman dodges it, leaving her mother to kick a column. Wonder Woman decided to stop holding back. She takes one sword from one of the unconscious warriors. She and her mother engage in an evenly-matched sword fight that lasted for a while, until Hippolyta strikes Wonder Woman's sword away.

After blocking her mother's next swing, Wonder Woman uses her flight to gain advantage. She drags her mother in the air and hits her with her shield, causing her to fall down and land hard.

"Sorry, mother," Wonder Woman apologized.

Wonder Woman leaves the hall to find another answer, only to be surrounded by every Amazon warrior on the island, including those of her age, armed with swords, shields, and bows and arrows.

"Um, hi, everyone," Wonder Woman greeted them awkwardly. "Uh, I really need to save all of you from a Red Kryptomite, so if you could just..."

Wonder Woman was cut off when she was hit in the back of the head with her own shield by her mother, who had just regained consciousness.

"Lock her up," Hippolyta ordered.

"Well done."

Those two words came from Lena Luthor, who has been on the island the whole time.

"Make sure to keep her here until the big night," Lena ordered.

"No one has ever escaped from our prisons before," said Hippolyta.

Wonder Woman wakes up only to find herself in a prison cell. Her tiara, shield, bracelets, and communication devices were confiscated. Two guards were guarding her cell.

"Please, let me out," Wonder Woman pleaded.

"The queen insisted you stay here until the sun sets," said one of the guards.

Wonder Woman sits in her cell and sulks. No weapons. No way to contact her friends. All of Themyscira is under the influence of Lena Luthor's hypnotic Red Kryptomite. What hope is there? All she could do now is look up and pray to her father.

"Zeus... dad... if you can hear me, please, help me," she prayed. "I cannot let evil triumph and corrupt this world. That is why you created me. To prevent such atrocities."

As if her father heard her prayers, her half-brother Ares appears right in front of her. He still wore the Amulet of Harmonia.

"Hey, sister," Ares greeted her.

"Ares, what are you doing here?" asked Wonder Woman.

"Father heard your prayer and sent me," said Ares. "Now, let's get you out of here."

"Ares!" The two guards shouted.

"Peace, sisters," Ares preached, unleashing the power of the amulet.

The two warriors become overloaded with the amulet's power of peace that they pass out to sleep a peaceful slumber.

"You truly are the God of Peace," Wonder Woman said happily.

Ares opens the cell and then teleports himself and his half-sister to the beach where her invisible jet was. Wonder Woman needed Ares' fire powers to make a few repairs to the engines, and he was more than happy to lend a hand. After they were finished, Wonder Woman took out her invisible keys and starts the jet. The engines hummed peacefully, meaning that the jet was in good condition.

"Safe travels, sister," said Ares.

"Thanks, brother," said Wonder Woman.

"Don't thank me yet. I'm planning on keeping your mother distracted. Make her think you're still here," said Ares. "Hermes was kind enough to lend me this illusion of you."

An illusion that looks exactly like Wonder Woman popped up beside Ares.

Wonder Woman flies away from Themyscira. She may have been too late to save her home, but stopping Lena is the key to save not just Themyscira but the entire world.

Notes:

- Like it said, Batman is called "The Dark Knight" and Robin is called "Boy Wonder." So, why can't Batgirl have a nickname? Does anyone have any ideas? I know "The Dark Angel" is lame (or at least I think it is), but that was intentional.

- Did you catch the Batman V Superman reference?
