“Hear me, Amazons I said HEAR ME” her voice is like the temples that surrounds her, elegant and beautiful, yet strong enough to overpower any Amazon that would be foolish enough to rush her.
“Compose yourselves and act like the warriors you know you are, the gods have granted you back your memories as well as your rightful home here on Themyscira”
“What of the men, forged by Zeus himself. Have we no place in the gods new plan”
“That is not the case, the gods have spoken to me, and our place is peace and composure. The gods know our lives have always been about battle and long for us to rest. With the Gargareans stepping out in to mans world, they will bring a new dawn of peace. An era where we can all…”
“I’ve heard enough, I need answers and not more prophecies, it sounds to me like the gods have paved war on mans world”
“Troy, you of all people should know the path of the gods is not always a constant flow”
“Maybe not, but I have learned that life is a path we can shape, to stand by and leave mans world at war with the gods is a fools run. Gods need to be worshipped by the faithful not the bullied and I for one will have no part in it”
“Then you should leave the island like Diana”
“What, you would toss aside a fellow sister, so easily have you been promised a life of less hardship by the gods and already you’d cast away all those who would appose the gods will?”
“Anyone foolish enough to appose the gods deserve nothing less than to be cast out of paradise, so it was written, so shall it be done”
“I’d expect no less words coming from the woman that betrayed the gods themselves to Hades”
I look into Hippolytas eyes and I see the anger and rage that burns within, but the crowd of amazons around me, still confused over their memories sudden return, create enough chaos for me to slip away as quickly as I entered. Taking flight I head for friends, I head for Gotham.

“J’onn look out”
No sooner has Canary issued the warning, than does the Martian become intangible, taking the Gargareans by surprise. Dinah takes a sharp quick breath before releasing her canary cry. The Two male warriors drop their shields and spears, dropping to their knees as their ears burst with hypersonic blasts.
**DINAH**
The martins thought pulses through the air, so that by the time a third Gargarean approaches to strike, she is already ready for him. The muscled man strikes hard with his spear, only to have Dinah turn and spin on her heel, bringing her leg round and down, the spear breaks in half. Both skilled in close combat, they jab and parry blows, but in the end it is Black Canary that manages to take hold of an over extended punch, twisting the arm at the wrist and applying pressure. The bone snaps hard and the warrior cries out in pain, soon silenced by a roundhouse kick to the side of the head.
“Canary to Vixen and Arrow, what’s your status?”

“Not so good, these damn ego tripped out men seemed overdosed on a little to much testosterone if you ask me, ELEPHANT”
The African beauty known as Vixen charges forward, running down a group of the invaders like skittles.
“We’re holding ground for now, but if they keep these numbers up, it’s only a matter of time before we’re overwhelmed”
“Just where are the heavy hitters? To busy playing gods in that fortress of solitude to come lend out a hand.”
“That you Ollie, never knew you needed a baby sitter”
“I didn’t Dinah, but last time I checked the nappy get up seemed to get you excited”
“Wise cracks huh, guess you have everything under control then, no need to send any support your way”
“Don’t sweat it blonde, I got it covered”
Releasing an arrow from his back, Ollie unleashes a barrage from above; a smoke bomb covers the surrounding street in a blanket of darkness.
“Mari get your ass in gear”
“Already way ahead of you and for the record I just want you to know that I hate the thought of you in diapers, CHEETAH”

“J’onn we could really use some more team players”
“I’ve already tried, Wonder Woman is trying to speak to the gods, and Superman is off world investigating the missing green lanterns”
“What about Marvel or Captain atom, hell right now I’d take Plastic Man”
“No one appears to be in range, would you like me to contact the Teen Titans?”
“Save your breath J’onn they’ve already arrived”
By the time I land its clear from the fallen Garagareans that the gods attack on the outside world has already begun.
“Donna thank god you’re here, we could use the extra set of hands. Do you have any idea what is going on?”
“A little, it appears that Zeus has taken leave of his senses, creating the Gargareans so as to give Themyscira and the Amazons a chance of peace, the Gargareans are to act as Zeus’s own police force, enforcing the will of the gods on man world”
“Well they sure as hell don’t beat around the bush, in the last seven hours they’ve killed over twenty petty crooks, a low level hold up is being warranted with slaughter”
“As would be accustom with Amazonian law, do not judge them harshly they are puppets of Zeus’s will”
“J’onn any more back up?”
“No why?”
“I’ve got a bad feeling about this”
Dinah points her finger towards the clearing in the street, there a marching sea of men steadily stomp there way forwards.
“We need a plan now” Canary’s voice carries a sense of caution.
“I’ve got the solution right here” I clench my fist tight” These Gargareans now face an true warrior of the gods and they shall fall at my hands”
I charge forward, and silently say a small prayer to Hera for protection this day.
To Be Continued….
