Seasons of Wonder: A Wonder Woman Fanfiction Story
A Goddesses Night Out:
One night, in Wonder Woman's and Steve's hotel suite...
Wonder Woman as Diana and Steve are on their bed. They're lying beside each other.
Diana says, "for tonight's game? I'm going with a fairy tale."
Steve lightly calls out, "oh come on! You always win at those because you were there."
He frowns a little. Diana smirks some.
Diana deduces, "well... That's not exactly true Steve. When we Amazons were growing up on Themiscrya? We read plenty of books and watched plenty of tales with magic mirrors."
Steve starts to say, "still..."
Diana chuckles.
Diana tries to assure, "hey. You often win at sports trivia from Men's World."
Steve considers, "true. Maybe this game of Two Truths and a Lie won't be so bad."
Diana adds, "thank you Steve."
They smile to each other.
Diana continues, "and... The fairy tale is The Little Mermaid."
Steve adds, "nice. I know that animated Disney movie."
Diana kind of lightly brings up, "yeah. It's a fairly good movie. But, it doesn't have all the answers for the original fairy tale it's based around."
She points a finger up on the last part.
Steve chuckles.
Steve challenges, "give me your best shot." Diana adds, "it would be my honor to, Steve."
Diana offers three possible lines, "The Little Mermaid got credit for rescuing the prince. The Little Mermaid was given a offer by the Sea Witch to be turned back into a mermaid if she takes down the prince. The Little Mermaid was destroyed at the end."
Steve goes, "hmm. I think the movie did much better representation for The Little Mermaid herself, and that the first statement for the original fairy tale is the lie."
Sounding stunned... Diana concludes, "yes: The movie treated her character much better. I'm impressed Steve. You won this time."
Steve adds, "thanks angel."
Steve reveals, "truth is it's a story my father Ulysses read to me and my cousin Douglas when we were kids. Faint chuckle. He thought it would make us stay out of trouble on the farm."
On the last part... Diana winces.
Diana says, "ouch. That sounds bad."
Steve assures, "not really: The nightmares were only for a few nights. We weren't ready to date girls anyway: We were too young. The Little Mermaid made us realize that. And... We even got back at good old Ulysses."
They both smirk in amusement.
Diana wonders, "really? And how did you get back at your father?"
Steve tells, "well... Faint chuckle. Me and Douglas picked one of the scarecrows by the cropfields on the farm. They had bags of flour for heads. We stole knives from the kitchen...and we put them all in the scarecrow's bag head with the handles outward to make a smiling face."
Diana chuckles hard.
Diana goes, "oh gods."
With some mixed feelings... Steve recalls, "yeah. Me and Douglas were laughing all day. But... Our parents were really mad. My father had to pull out the knives at night when the crows weren't around. My mother made me and Douglas clean those knives by hand until they were clean and shiny. Yes: We kind of deserved it. But, we still thought it was a good day."
Diana tells, "yeah. I'm glad you got into some good trouble: Just please don't tell anyone."
Steve chuckles.
Steve figures, "I won't, Diana. You can count on me."
Diana figures, "good. And... Maybe sometime I should tell you more stories about me getting into trouble with my mother Queen Hippolyta."
Steve adds, "thanks Diana. I'd like that too." Diana adds, "you're welcome Steve."
Diana puts a comforting hand on his.
Steve considers, "and maybe sometime I should tell you more stories about me and my cousin Douglas."
Diana firmly insists, "I want to hear them. There's no maybe about it."
Steve adds, "thanks." Diana adds, "you're welcome."
Diana suddenly hears noises coming from her portable magic mirror. It's on a dresser.
Before Steve can say something? Diana gets her portable magic mirror to take a look.
Diana sees a burnt down entrance to the Brookfield Zoo. A lot of animals are running out with trails of fire and water around them.
Circe and Devastator Woman are play fighting with some of the apparently super-powered animals. They don't even notice screaming people running away in the super-powered mayhem.
Diana frustratedly sighs into her hands.
Steve asks in concern, "angel? What's wrong?"
After a bit... Diana looks up.
Diana explains, "I thought I could leave those two goddesses alone for one night. But... I'm afraid I'm going to have to go babysit them. Frustrated sigh! I'm really sorry."
Steve tries to assure, "it's okay. I totally get it. And after you straighten them out? You can ask one of them to send you back here with their powers so we can still have our date."
With a wide smile... Diana concludes, "that's a great idea! I'll be back as soon as I magically can to continue our date."
She sits up. She is getting into her Wonder Woman battle wear.
With a wide smile... Steve kind of sarcastically says, "yep. I sometimes have great ideas too."
Diana chuckles.
Diana figures, "I don't doubt you for a second. I love you Steve."
Steve adds, "I love you too Diana."
Steve is sitting up. He's looking right at Diana as Wonder Woman.
With a reflection from her portable magic mirror... Their silhouette heads blend as one.
Then... Wonder Woman uses her portable magic mirror to open a magic link to the Mala Amazon nation and ask them for a magic portal.
A mortal minute later, in Brookfield, IL...
Wonder Woman appears through a magic portal by a city intersection.
She's fast walking by smoke clouds, fire, and crushed cars.
Wonder Woman nervously calls out, "Circe?! Devastator Woman?!"
Super-powered seals and dolphins are charging with water gusts through then splintering apart houses to swim in basements. People are running from houses screaming and ducking for cover.
Super-powered lions and bears are charging with fireballs through then exploding trees to chase after screaming people. Fire trucks are coming with sirens whirling.
With a wave of her hand? Circe uses her goddess powers to move away the smoke clouds.
Devastator Woman is play fighting with some super-powered tigers and bears. They're firing water gusts and spikes at each other.
With a smile... Circe concludes, "Diana? What a good surprise. If you wanted a water pool too? You could have asked me."
Circe is play fighting with some super-powered eels. They're firing lightning bolts and whirlpools at each other.
Wonder Woman annoyedly glares. She frustratedly sighs.
Devastator Woman awkwardly asks, "Diana? Are you upset we didn't get you a pool?"
Wonder Woman annoyedly calls out, "by the goddesses! Forget about the pool! What are you two doing?!"
Circe and Devastator Woman look nervously toward each other.
They instinctively go into goddess time. They also bring Wonder Woman into goddess time too.
Circe explains, "well... Me and Devastator Woman tried to find gods and goddesses to fight for fun. But, they're all busy."
Wonder Woman mutters, "I should never have left you two to play alone."
Devastator Woman says, "but... But, I not understand. We thought to give animals superpowers to play with them on e... What are those words again, Circe?"
Completely unphased... Circe recalls, "even terms."
Devastator Woman figures, "yeah. See? We're playing nice together."
Devastator Woman and Circe are awkwardly smiling to Wonder Woman.
The two are also casually holding hands.
With mixed feelings... Wonder Woman points out, "okay. You two may be playing nice. But... Moderate sigh! Do these people and animals look like they're having fun?!"
She points out to Devastator Woman and Circe the massive mayhem on the streets.
Circe and Devastator Woman make very awkward faces.
Circe realizes, "oops. Big oops."
Devastator Woman apologizes, "we sorry we made big mess, Diana. We not know."
Wonder Woman smiles some.
She concludes, "well... Moderate sigh. I'm relieved you can see it now. Please clean up the mess. And no: Not with a giant broom."
Devastator Woman admits, "okay. I...I not sure how to clean up then. But..."
Circe assures, "don't worry, Devastator Woman. I know how to put things back to normal."
Devastator Woman cluelessly adds, "ooh. You're good."
Circe and Wonder Woman chuckle.
Circe uses her goddess powers to fully restore the town of Brookfield: Houses, streets, and all.
She then calls out to the animals in all their languages. She lightly leads them back to the zoo.
Devastator Woman is the midst of saying, "wow. That how she...does it."
Suddenly... Several giant yellow vines with thorns come up from the ground.
The plant god Urzkartaga rants, "fire, fire, everywhere... Not a vine spared. Zeus, Hestia, Hera, Hermes... Not one Olympian God cared for me! Well... Who's going to care for you now?!"
Just then... A long mostly orangish yellow tail pulls Wonder Woman up into a tree.
She gasps.
Goddess Cheetah darkly grins at Wonder Woman...caught in her superstrong tail.
Cheetah furiously cries out, "no wait! Revenge the only good slash for me and Urzkartaga! !"
Urzkartaga has Devastator Woman caught in his god vines.
Getting teary eyed... Devastator Woman calls out, "this is not fun! Who are you?! Where is my friend Wonder Woman?!"
Cheetah and Urzkartaga tighten their grips on Devastator Woman and Wonder Woman.
Devastator Woman and Wonder Woman groan hard. They're starting to lose consciousness.
Urzkartaga coldly mutters, "you should have thought of that before destroying my god parents. Too bad you won't get to..."
Getting teary eyed... Circe calls out, "no! ! Why you trying to destroy my friends?!"
She has appear three fire truck and Dalmatian dog hybrids. They're whirling fire truck sirens and howling.
Cheetah murmurs in confusion, "what the...?!"
Just then... Wonder Woman breaks free one of her arms.
She slashes her glowing bright red spirit energy blade into Cheetah's tail.
Cheetah reactively lets go of Wonder Woman. Cheetah cries out in mental pain.
The fire truck and Dalmatian hybrids slash their claws through some of Urzkarataga's god vines.
With a then free arm? Devastator Woman fires a goddess lava blast into the other god vines.
She breaks free.
Wonder Woman swings down from the tree.
Cheetah is clutching her fluctuating goddess tail. But, she's goddess restoring herself quickly.
Circe has been riding on one of the fire truck and Dalmatian dog hybrids.
Circe waves to Wonder Woman and Devastator Woman.
Devastator Woman lightly realizes, "Circe! Wonder Woman! You come back."
The three of them smile to each other. The teariness in Circe's and Devastator Woman's eyes is drying up.
Urzkartaga heatedly glares.
He cries out, "no talking! The time of your devastation is here, ladies of darkness! !"
Wonder Woman comments, "of darkness?! Scoff. This god clearly has lost his mind."
Circe and Devastator Woman giggle.
Urzkartaga insists, "I have not! ! The Olympian Gods... Heavy sigh. They just let my god parents be lost to the sun! !"
Cheetah all too lightly calls out, "my turn to play, Urzkartaga!"
She creates nine electrically sparking wire and cheetah hybrids. They chirr and hiss.
The electrically charged cheetahs charge for Wonder Woman and her allies.
Wonder Woman suggests, "this way! We might get better ground here."
She leads her allies into a forest area by the road intersection.
Devastator Woman tries to goddess water blast several of the electrically charged cheetahs away.
But... Their electrical currents ripple quicker through her goddess water blasts.
Devastator Woman cries out in mental pain. She falls unconscious.
At the same time... Wonder Woman and Circe nervously call out, "Devastator Woman!"
Most of the electrically charged cheetahs are exchanging fists and claws with the fire truck and Dalmatian dog hybrids. Some electrically charged cheetahs get
Urzkartaga adds, "not bad, my goddess partner." Cheetah adds, "you're welcome."
A electrically charged cheetah tackle charges Circe. They tumble land by a tree.
The fire truck and Dalmatian hybrids fire water blasts by surprise into two electrically charged cheetahs.
They cry out in mental overload. They fall unconscious.
Two of the electrically charged cheetahs tackle Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman deflects their electrical charges with part of her golden lasso.
But... They still have her pinned down.
One of them grabs on her golden lasso with teeth to try to keep her from getting it around them.
Cheetah chirrs and purrs toward the electrically charged cheetahs. She pets them.
Cheetah twistedly says, "good, my cheetah children. Just like I taught you. Now... I'll have my revenge, Wonder Woman. Laugh. Oh, what will you do now?"
Wonder Woman gulps nervously.
Cheetah is about to fire a goddess blast of spikes at her.
Just then... Wonder Woman chirrs, inh inhs, and purrs to the electrically charged cheetahs.
One of them somewhat nervously chirrs back.
But... One of them lets go of Wonder Woman and her golden lasso.
Cheetah cries out, "what the...?! You can't speak to animals: You not even a goddess! !"
Wonder Woman smirks.
She chirrs and inh inhs some more to the electrically charged cheetahs.
Wonder Woman points out, "I don't need to be a goddess to know you don't really see them as your children."
And... Both electrically charged cheetahs angrily charge for Cheetah.
Cheetah gasps.
She breaks into a run. Both electrically charged cheetahs chase after her.
With a smile... Circe remarks, "Diana... You're right: This is better ground."
She's just appeared by Wonder Woman.
Four electrically charged cheetahs jump out behind trees. They tackle Urzkartaga by surprise.
Urzkartaga tumble lands to the ground. He's stunned.
Sounding stunned... Wonder Woman asks, "Circe?! How did you...?"
Circe reflects, "we both like animals. They like you and me."
With a grin... Wonder Woman adds, "yeah. That's fair enough."
Circe goddess restores Devastator Woman. Wonder Woman gets Urzkartaga in her golden lasso.
Wonder Woman figures, "okay. I want some answers now. Who were your parents?"
Urzkartaga mutters back, "what do you care?! You're too full of darkness."
Wonder Woman comments, "if you're so sure of that... Then why are we still talking?"
Devastator Woman giggles.
After a bit... Urzkartaga concludes, "fine. Frustrated sigh. My god parents were Tezcatlipoca and Artumes. Happy now?!"
Suddenly... Wonder Woman heatedly glares.
Wonder Woman says, "no. Tezcalipoca destroyed many people at his pyramids. Good innocent people! What do you have to say about that?! That Tezcalipoca is not too full of darkness?"
Circe and Devastator Woman look nervous. Urzkartaga cruelly laughs.
Urzkartaga goes on, "so what if his followers ferried the weak to Tartarus? All the tribes were ferrying! They all were, and yet Tezcatlipoca and his god partner Artumes were lost to the sun!"
Flashes go by: Of tribes with feather crowns carrying bodies struggling to break free to pyramids, of mental cries from pyramids, of battle drums drumming...and hundreds of unconscious bodies lying by the pyramids.
Wonder Woman tensely calls out, "tribes like yours destroyed each other just for chanting differently. They were all monsters! !"
Urzkartaga concludes, "monsters?! Their followers were treated like royalty...up until being welcomed back into darkness. The other gods spread fire across the world. Strong and weak wiped out! All because of the Olympian Gods! ! You know what kept me strong? That there has been a land where only the physically strong triumph. A land I was searching for for many years out of many worlds! Then you and Devastator Woman come along. You and Chaos destroy the Bana-Mighdall together. But, when you and Devastator Woman got too stuck up to share in the darkness with Chaos? You fought each other and all the worlds burned! ! Cheetah told me. She and Chaos fought together to try to destroy you: You two too stuck up ladies of darkness! !"
Devastator Woman uncomfortably murmurs, "Circe? Wonder Woman? I not sure hate or like him. I scared!"
She hugs Circe tight. Circe awkwardly hugs her back.
Wonder Woman nervously sighs. She sees Circe is awkwardly looking toward Urzkartaga.
Wonder Woman questions, "um... Urzkartaga? I can't believe I'm bringing this up to you. But... Moderate sigh. You should know the truth about your parents. Does Circe remind you of your mother Artumes? I mean... Aside from the hair color?"
Urzkarataga looks wide eyed in shock.
Urzkarataga answers, "yes. Moderate sigh. Cheetah wanted to turn the world into a jungle. I wanted to bring back Tezcalipoca's rule. Now... Moderate sigh. Everything I knew is not as strong as I...! ! Moderate sigh. I don't know what to think!"
Wonder Woman bittersweetly reflects, "it's at least a step out of darkness."
She gets the golden lasso off of Urzkarataga.
He just sits there...staring at the night sky.
Wonder Woman, Circe, and Devastator Woman bittersweetly sigh.
They start to walk away from Urzkarataga.
Suddenly... Cheetah angrily cries out, "you! You always...ruin...everything! !"
She hard kick flips off Wonder Woman. She crash lands through a tree.
But... Circe and Devastator Woman cast goddess whirlwinds to suspend Cheetah in the air.
Wonder Woman coughs hard some. She gets up.
She, Circe, and Devastator Woman smile wide at seeing Cheetah suspended in the air.
Annoyed sounding... Wonder Woman suggests, "what are you talking about? Athena was the one who destroyed Aresia: Not me! Why didn't you knock on her door?"
Cheetah argues, "Hercules, Athena, Devastator Woman... Your friends and you have always kept me from proving myself. And now Chaos and Aresia are destroyed! !"
Wonder Woman pinpoints, "who do you need to prove yourself to? You're a goddess!"
With some mixed feelings... Cheetah presses, "flattery won't help you here. Aresia saved me from being destroyed by her Amazons. I like survival of the fittest. But... Aresia was my equal. I just had to prove myself to her! Sniffle. I wanted to be her goddess partner...and none of you let me! ! Sniffle! Do you know how lonely I've been before she came into my life? Sniffle! I used to be a British archeologist. I had taken works of art, and only they understood me. Even my gang could not stand to be around me! Sniffle. Aresia would have understood me. We would have been so great together! But... Even if I use my powers to bring her back now? Sniffle. I know what she would ask: Did you destroy Men's World? Did you destroy...Wonder Woman?"
Devastator Woman laughs hard at the last part.
Circe annoyedly rolls her eyes. Wonder Woman shakes her head annoyedly.
Wonder Woman tells Cheetah, "you'll never destroy all men. You're crazy!"
Cheetah mutters back, "why? Just for liking someone?"
Wonder Woman pinpoints, "no. Because whoever has you as a goddess partner... You'd still be evil."
Cheetah angrily chirrs and roars.
Devastator Woman and Circe drop her from the air...knocking her out.
Wonder Woman figures, "you know... For crazy goddesses... You know how to fight a good fight. Chuckle. I'm glad to be friends with you."
She puts comforting hands on Devastator Woman's and Circe's.
They smile wide to each other. Devastator Woman giggles.
Wonder Woman recalls, "oh! Before I forget.. Can you please send me back in time to my hotel suite the minute after I left to check on you two?"
Circe concludes, "yeah. We would do that for you."
Devastator Woman is quick to add, "but play date!"
Wonder Woman assures, "well... Chuckle. As long as you, Circe, remember to send me back in time afterwards? I have all night."
Circe adds, "not to worry. I will remember."
Devastator Woman lightly goes, "ooh. Great! Wonder Woman get be in play date too."
Wonder Woman figures, "yes. I'd like to."
They play fight with the electrically charged cheetahs and fire truck and Dalmatian hybrids for a few mortal hours.
Then... Wonder Woman, Devastator Woman, and Circe say goodbye.
Circe makes a magic portal for Wonder Woman to go back in time several hours.
Wonder Woman as Diana appears back at hers and Steve's hotel suite...the minute after she left.
Diana concludes, "you know Steve? After supervising Circe's and Devastator Woman's play date tonight... I'm ready for anything."
Steve somewhat awkwardly checks, "are you sure you want to accept Amanda Waller's mission plans for Diana Prince as a Cadmus operative also on the lookout for Wonder Woman? I understand if you as Diana Prince want to go into hiding."
With a grin... Diana assures, "Diana Prince doesn't need to go into hiding. I trust my pilot not to tell on me. But... Thank you Steve. If I was going to go into hiding? You'd be coming with me."
With a smile... Steve tells, "and I'm happy to be by your side Diana: No matter what it takes."
Diana goes, "aww."
With a reflection from her portable magic mirror... Their silhouette heads blend as one
And... From high in the sky above the Brookfield Zoo?
Athena smiles wide to herself in a knowing way.
