Getting things clear

Diana slowly wakes up as she yawns. She opens her eyes, but then saw Michael wasn't there with her. She panicked only to hear water splashing from rocks.

She turns and sees Michael tossing rocks to the ocean. She noticed he's not wearing his shirt and jacket, probably due to the blood on them. But she also sees his physique and understood how agile and strong he is.

Diana stood up as she approaches Michael in silence, knowing he's still processing what happened the day before. After a few minutes, Michael ran out of rock as stares at the ocean, the wind blowing his hair.

Michael: ... I'm speechless.

Diana: I understand.

Both stayed silent as Michael finally looks at her.

Michael: ... That woman nearly raped me.

Diana: She was no a woman. She's a monster-

Michael: I just... *sits down* I ... *sighs*

Diana sat down and gives him a comforting look. She can't tell Michael never thought to experience something horrible like that. Being taken advantage of by a stronger being and have no strength to fight back.

Michael: I heard stories from women who went through situations like what happened yesterday... I never thought to experience it myself...

Diana: I know, Michael. Believe me, some of my sisters went through that as well.

Michael: But no one hears a guy being violated. I was so close to be assaulted, and what would people say? "Oh, you should be grateful", "Oh, men can't be rape", "You're crazy to think a lady can molest you"- FUCK OFF!

Diana was startled at his sudden shout as he calms down.

Michael: I'm sorry, Diana. I'm just...

Diana: *wraps her arm around his shoulders and pulls him closer to her* No need. For you, even if you're a man, you don't deserve to be violated by anyone, even if they're human or Gods.

Michael listens to her as she continues, rubbing his hair.

Diana: But yesterday, you showed you can fight back. You cut Alecto's arm, defied her, and saved me. That shows you're man of pure Gold. Always strong, always loyal, and always putting others' safety, even if it means risking your life.

Michael looks up at her as she smiles at him.

Michael soon gave a smile.

Michael: Thank you, Diana.

Diana smiles as she kisses his cheek. Michael gave a shy face as he blushes. They sat there as silent spread.

Michael: So how long have you been a Superhero?

Diana: Well... I was an Amazon warrior before being a Hero. It was in the first World War that I began being known as Wonder Woman.

Michael: I see. So you've been around for all these years.

Diana: Indeed. We don't really age much. Depends on a certain stage of our lifespan.

Michael: Huh. Makes sense.

Another silence spread as Michael looks at her.

Michael: She tried to use me to hurt you. Why?

Diana: ... Because I destroyed the God of War 100 years ago and she and her sisters wanted me dead.

Michael: Wait... you killed Ares?

Diana: Yes.

Michael: But why Alecto took it personally?

Diana: Because she and Ares made a pack. My mother believes that when I killed Ares, the Furies desired revenge but chose to wait as it's against the duties as the Judge, Jury, and Executioner.

Michael: So they waited for 100 years just to get you back for killing Ares.

Diana: Yes. And now that I've been around you, they're targeting you to try to get to me. *looks at him* I'm sorry you're involved in my business, Michael.

Michael: It's not your fault, Diana. They decided to get revenge and try to hurt you where it hurts the most. I just so happen to be the best target to get you.

Diana: Yes.

Michael looks at her and wraps his arm around Diana's shoulder and pulls her closer to him.

Michael: We'll get through this. I'm sure we can pull through.

Diana: I hope so. Alecto and the other Furies are far beyond the Olympians.

Michael: If a God can die, when why wouldn't a Primordial as well? Plus, we left her cuts and scratches, so if she can bleed, she can die.

Diana thinks about it and knew he has a point. She nods as they stand up.

Diana: You're truly brave, Michael. I wonder how it takes for you be this brave for your age.

Michael: Wrestling, dealing with adults acting like kids my age and below, and just being the best person I can be.

Diana nods as she looks ahead.

Diana: Stay with me and stay silent.

Michael was confused, but nodded. He picked up his shirt and jacket as he follows Diana through the forest.

*later*

They walk through the forest as Michael was very close to Diana, as she looks around, making sure their surroundings have no one and nothing that could spot him.

Michael: If you don't mind me asking... where are we?

Diana: My home. That way, under Zeus's watch, no one with the Furies could spot us.

Michael: Oh okay...

Michael: Wait... as in the Island where the Amazons live, and men are not allowed to go?

Diana: Yes- Wait you know about Themyscira?

Michael said nothing as he looks at her, his surroundings, as realization dawns on him.

Diana: Michael?

Michael: ...

Diana looked bewildered as Michael collapsed in front of her.

Diana: Michael are you okay?

Michael: No, I'm dead.

Diana: No you're not.

Michael: Yes. I am.

Diana: No, you're not.

Diana effortlessly picks him up as Michael tries to hold onto the grass what a cat tries to be prevent for being carried. Diana stands him up as she looks at him.

Diana: Look, I understand your fear, but trust me, no one will hurt you.

Michael: You sure?

Diana: Yes, and... well... it's been too long since I've been hear. *sheepish smile* I haven't actually visited often.

Michael... *grabs his chest*

Michael: I'm coming, Elizabeth!

Diana: Who's Elizabeth?

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Michael looks at her as he couldn't believe she doesn't get the reference. But then, he decided to keep his "You Uncultured Swine!" thinking she hasn't seen the show yet.

Michael: It's from a sitcom called "Sanford and Son". I'll show it to you after this.

Diana: Oh... okay. *sighs* Look, I'm taking you to where my mother lives. Unlike most of my sisters, she's more lenient towards men and was the one who told me about Alecto.

Michael: Oh... wait... does that mean... there was a male that appeared here years ago, that you know?

Diana froze as she didn't expect that question. Soon, memories of Steve Trevor, the man who appeared in her island, who then introduced her to the outside world, who she loved, and sacrificed himself to save others from the German Army, and motivated her to defeat Ares, came to her mind. Suddenly, Michael, in her vision, would switch from himself, to Steve, as he spoke to her.

Michael/Steve: Diana?

Diana stood there frozen as she stares at Michael or Steve, until Michael poked her forehead with a stick. She gasps as she stepped back, reality coming back.

Michael: You okay?

Diana: ... *takes a deep breath and sighs* Yes. Sorry, I... was lost in thought. Come on.

She walks off as Michael looked confused before following her.

*later*

After a while of different directions, stops, and hiding from detection from other Amazons, they arrived as Michael looked over and saw something amazing.

Michael: Woah... is this your home?

Diana: Yes. That's where my mother and my sisters live.

Michael: How many?

Diana: Oh we're not all biologically related. We see each other as sisters. As for how many, too many to count.

Michael: I see. *realization* Oh shit. Everyone back home don't know what's going on. *pulls out his phone* Let me just... crap, I can't get a signal here. It's too low. *looks at her* Does your home have like service or a way for me to send a message?

Diana: Unfortunately, no, Michael.

Michael: Damn... *looks at his phone* I think I can see some signal nearby. Be right back.

He stood up as he walks off as Diana sighs and waits for him.

*later*

Michael walks off as he checks his phone for signal in the forest. After a while, he found enough signal to send a message to both his friends and family.

Michael: "Hey, everyone, had a last minute flight to a promotion/charity event. I don't know when I'll be back, but I will let you guys know. Ok, bye. Michael."

He sends it as he waits for it to send. He waits patiently, but anxiously before seeing the messages were sent. He sighs in relief until something hit his phone and it hits a nearby tree. He gasps as he sees where his phone went and saw it lodged against the tree... by an arrow.

His eyes widen as he slowly turns and sees some folk he doesn't want to be seen with in Themyscira.

Michael: Oh shit...

Michael steps back as the amazons slowly approach him, having angry faces as they draw their weapons. He trips before getting up as he looks at them, scared of what they'll do to him, seeing he's in prohibited territory. Soon, he runs as the amazons started chasing him.

Michael: Diana!

Michael yells as he runs through the woods with the amazons behind him. He knew he's screwed as they know their surroundings and he doesn't. Soon, one tries to shoot an arrow at him but he ducks under it. One tries to jump and slash him, but he dodges by jumping away. He runs but then one lands in front of him, waiting for him. She smirks as she gets ready, but saw Michael still running, if not faster, towards her. She was confused until...

She was shocked that Michael slid between her legs before getting up and running. She soon joins the others in chasing Michael.

After a while, Michael reaches a nearby edge and sees how deep the fall is. He then turns as he sees the amazons arriving as they surround him.

Amazon 1: You're quick, male scum, but your luck ends today.

Michael: Oh come on. I nearly died and nearly got violated yesterday, and now I got a sword ready to stab me here today?

Amazon 2: Whatever you did yesterday, doesn't matter. You're going to die for trespassing our sacred lands.

Michael steps back by instinct but stopped when he felt his foot slip on the edge. He turns as the amazons approached him, reading their swords.

?: Stop!

They stopped as someone flies down and lands in front of Michael.

Michael: *relieved* Diana...

Diana: Don't you dare harm him.

The amazons were shocked to see Diana here as they stepped back instinctively.

Amazon 3: Diana? What are you doing here? And why are you protecting him?

Diana: None of your concern, my sisters. I brought him here to give him protection from a threat beyond us.

Amazon 4: And you think bringing him here to our land is a wise choice? What would the Queen think of this?

?: She would allow it as she understood their situation.

The Amazons froze before they kneel down to Queen Hippolyta. Michael looked confused as he leans towards Diana.

Michael: Who's that?

Diana: My mother. Queen of the Amazons, Hippolyta.

Michael: Oooh... *realizes* Wait so that makes you a princess?

Diana gave a smile and nods as Michael's mind was blown. Soon, Hippolyta tells the others to leave before she approaches Michael and looks him over.

Hippolyta: You must be Michael. Diana spoke of you with great care and interest.

Diana: *blushes* Mother!

Michael blushes a bit before coughing and giving a bow.

Michael: It's an honor to meet you, your highness. I hope my presence would not be a bother to you and your home.

Hippolyta: I hope as well, for the rest will not take kindly to you. Still, you being here will keep you safe until this threat would be over. Come. I will take you and Diana to the palace to rest.

Hippolyta walks as Michael and Diana looked at her, and at each other.

Michael: She doesn't seemed that hostile towards me.

Diana: You were not the first male to come here. But you are one of few she has been more lenient towards men who come here by accident.

Michael nods as Diana walks forward, following her mother with Michael following her. Soon, as they walked, Diana instinctively grabs Michael's hand, wraps it around hers, and gives it a comforting squeeze. Michael looks at her before giving a smile and a nod. Diana smiles back as they walked.

Hippolyta walks, but felt them walking hand and hand and gave a small smile before returning to her stoic demeanor before walking continuously.

How's the chapter?

Been a while, right?
