Wonder Woman Page #3

This pilot poses no threat to our people.

Therefore, it is our duty to see him

safely returned to the outside world.

I wanna be the one to take him back,

Mother.

Seconded.

You do not have the experience necessary

to lead such an expedition.

As in ancient times...

...a contest will determine our emissary

to the outside world.

Artemis, make the arrangements.

This is not fair, Mother.

I will always lack necessary experience

unless given the opportunity.

Diana, you may resent my decisions

but there are evils in this world...

...that I, as a mother,

am compelled to protect you against.

I am a woman now.

I no longer need your protection.

If the princess will not be participating

in the contest...

...perhaps she can join me on guard duty.

It appears you are going to be busy.

What?

Alexa,

are you covering Persephone's guard duty?

I am covering yours.

Now, go, the contest will begin shortly.

I appreciate the gesture...

...but you know that's the last place

my mother will allow me to show my face.

Then perhaps you should hide it

under a combat helmet.

You are my heart, sister.

Where is the princess?

Why does she not understand

her mother knows what is best for her?

The heart wants what the heart wants,

even that which is worst for it.

This contest will determine

the most capable among you...

...to be our emissary

to the outside world.

Fight with honor.

So the queen's kid, you know,

the hot chick?

Princess Diana.

Yeah, her. So, what's her deal?

Her deal is that

I will personally castrate you...

...if you come within five yards of her.

Perhaps the arrival of this man

will bring forth a new era for the Amazons.

And perhaps it will only bring

a return to darker times.

That is fear talking, sister.

There's a quote in which I find

the courage to face the unknown.

As a rock on the seashore,

he standeth firm.

"And the dashing of the waves

disturbeth him not."

In the instant...

Yes, I know the quote well.

It has aided me much in recent days.

Shall I finish it?

In the instant of danger,

the courage of his heart...

...sustaineth him and the steadiness

of his mind beareth him out.

Forgive me.

It's as you said.

The heart wants what the heart wants...

...even that which is worst for it.

A century's long courtship

finally culminated in a kiss.

I find my joy is only tempered

by the fact that Diana lives.

Still, our destruction has worked.

Come.

We have a tie which must be broken.

She who is left standing

after this final event...

...will be the victor.

Left standing?

You fought with honor and intelligence.

The gods go with you

with the gifts I'm about to bestow.

As is the custom...
