Diana’s POV

I hadn’t been sure how I was even able to fall asleep, given the current circumstances being as dire as they were, but when I awoke the next morning, I had immediately leapt from my strange bed ready to fight. My chest heaved as I glanced all around me in the unfamiliar space and let a breath of contentment escape my lungs. Somehow, I think I had hoped that the events that transpired the day before all had been some bizarre nightmare. Unfortunately, the events could not have been more realistic. I pursed my lips together, glancing over to my armor that lay over the back of an armchair currently, deciding that I’d not play into this mad man’s obsession more then was absolutely necessary. I walked over to the closet and opened its doors to discover an entire wardrobe of gowns. I let out a sigh and grabbed the first one that caught my eye, a royal blue, silky, flowy dress that I slipped on over my form. I started for the door when my reflection in the mirror caught my eye. I furrowed my eyebrows quizzically as I ran a hand over the embroidery at the mid of the bust line of the dress and realized that it was the Grecian symbol for Athena and the dress was definitely of Grecian design. This man truly was mad, I thought to myself as I shook my head and walked out into the hallway.

Once I entered the hallway, I was taken aback when the first form that I saw was that of a blue man with four arms. My eyebrows furrowed as I found myself pressing my back to the door as the man passed me. He paused a moment and turned to face me, eyeing me carefully before extending one of his four hands to me.

“I am Shiva. Who might you be? I have not seen you here, save for today,” Shiva spoke as I hesitantly took his hand, not being able to take my eyes off of the other three that all made different gestures as he spoke. I cleared my throat, remembering that I had been asked a question, and offered an apologetic smile for staring.

“Diana,” I said simply as Shiva canted his head at me, again seeming to survey me, judge me, and dissect me with his eyes.

“You appear so…normal. Tell me, what pray tell are you a goddess of?” Shiva asked as his voice seemed to have a slight eerie echo to it as he spoke. I had to think about that question for the moment, considering I wasn’t really a goddess of well, anything really.

“I am Queen of the Amazons and Protector of Earth,” I decided to answer as Shiva continued to cant his head back and forth, taking me in, leaning his form in closer as if to actually smell me.

“You are Greek. I can smell the Mediterranean Sea on you,” Shiva answered and I furrowed my eyebrows quizzically as I started to maneuver away from the wall, and away from this deranged blue man.

“That is absolutely correct and I apologize my scenting skills aren’t as up to par, but where do you hail from?” I asked, starting to take a few steps back, hoping that switching the subject to talking of himself would allow me to exit from his presence unscathed.

“India. I am the god of destruction and transformation, but I find it incredibly odd that you are here, Greek who is a goddess to nothing,” Shiva spoke as I nodded several times in agreement just so I could go elsewhere.

“I could not agree with you more,” was all I spoke as I turned the corner and picked up my pace letting out a huff of breath as I did so. I walked past several rooms, not really knowing where I was going, I just knew that finding a way out of this Circus was not going to be found being cooped up in my cell of a bedroom. I walked past another room as what I saw in my peripherals made me back pedal. I paused and peered into the room seeing Thor, now dressed in a crème colored tunic that bared half of his chest, and loose fitting linen pants, as a blonde woman with long wavy golden hair fed him grapes, all the while giggling to all her content. I crossed my arms over my chest as I walked into the room without an ounce of shame in interrupting their apparent moment.

“Glad to see you are as concerned about getting back home as I am,” I spoke haughtily as Thor looked up at me and the woman looked at me in disgust.

“Diana! My, don’t you look spry this morning,” Thor bellowed as I rolled my eyes and the woman continued to play with the hole across his chest in his tunic with her fingertips. Thor stood up, ignoring the woman’s protests as he did so and took me lightly by the arm away from the woman’s audible range.

“I am attempting to pump this woman for information as she has been here for quite some time,” Thor said as I couldn’t help but smirk up at him yanking my arm from his grasp. I gestured over to the woman with my chin as I spoke.

“Yes, you are very clearly pumping that woman for information,” I said as Thor furrowed his eyebrows at me with confusion.

“Yes, that is exactly what I just said, why did you feel the need to repeat my words back to me?” Thor asked and it was now my turn to give him a confused stare in return. I continued to stare at him as if willing the cogs in his brain to fall into place as he let out a sigh.

“Sarcasm. I will tell you, I have been visiting Earth for years now and this concept still continues to elude me,” Thor said as the blonde woman cleared her throat.

“Thorey-kins, aren’t you going to introduce me to your masculine friend here?” the woman asked and my arms uncrossed at her comment, my form starting to move towards her as Thor placed a hand on my shoulder to stop me. I grimaced knowing he was right and was starting to wonder what had been coming over me. Ever since I arrived here, I felt on edge, as if the slightest comment or gesture could cause me the urge to do battle. Was this Tath’s intentions?

“Aphrodite, Diana. Diana, Aphrodite the Goddess of uh….love,” Thor said as my lips started to part in absolute shock. This woman was in all actuality my half-sister, having been a daughter to Zeus herself. Aphrodite gave an equal look of surprise as her form stood from the chair, her blonde locks cascading in waves over her shoulders and down her back. Her pink gown clung to her every curve as she started to walk towards me and canted her head once she stood in front of me. Thor furrowed his eyebrows in confusion and slowly removed his hand from my shoulder as if suddenly I were a temperamental explosive device.

“Diana? As in…Diana of Themyscira?” Aphrodite asked as I nodded slowly in response.

“Well by Zeus, I guess I can’t blame us for not recognizing each other since we’ve never met. I guess I’m your big half-sis,” Aphrodite spoke as she put her hands on her hips and leaned to one side. Thor rose a single eyebrow and pointed between the two of us.

“Sisters? Well this just got a bit awkward, but I am willing to see this through if you are,” Thor said as I hadn’t even realized he was speaking to me as he placed a hand on the small of Aphrodite’s back and then in turn placed the other hand on my own back. My face fell into mortification as I slowly realized that he was seriously suggesting a three-person entanglement to encourage Aphrodite for information and I quickly batted his hand away.

“You have got to be kidding me!” I bellowed and Thor let out a hearty laugh as I crossed my arms over my chest.

“I am so delighted you think our situation amusing,” I said as Thor pretended to wipe tears from the corners of his eyes.

“I was in fact…kidding as you say, but you do have to admit our situation is rather amusing. Here we are in an establishment full of some of the most powerful beings in the universe and rendered helpless due to a small bald man with an obsession for knowledge,” Thor said as he held his hands out to either side as if performing some twisted form of standup comedy speaking from myself and back to Aphrodite.

“I slept on it last night and came to the conclusion that slamming my hammer through a wall simply will do nothing for the current situation,” Thor began to say and I couldn’t help but smirk.

“Oh, so glad you came to this epiphany,” I said, making sure to lace my tone with extra amounts of sarcasm.

“I have come to grips that we are to be here for quite some time. We might as well figure out ways in which to enjoy ourselves, relax, take in the sights, “Thor continued as Aphrodite suddenly chimed in.

“There may actually be a way…” Aphrodite began as Thor’s entire chilled out demeanor suddenly vanished and he sternly looked at Aphrodite grabbing her by the shoulders.

“Way? What way? How is there a way? Speak words, woman!” Thor bellowed, as Aphrodite’s eyes grew wide at his sudden eagerness. I placed my hands on his forearms and guided them off and away from Aphrodite with a cock of an eyebrow.

“Whatever happened to relaxing and taking in the sights?” I asked him as he cleared his throat and adjusted his tunic.

“That was prior to her announcement of having a possible way of escaping. That changes things entirely,” Thor said as he glanced to me and then back to Aphrodite, both of us waiting on her explanation.

“Well, no other god here had any kind of control over lightning, but now that we have Thunder Rod here, we may actually be able to open a black hole,” Aphrodite spoke with giddy contentment, almost clapping her hands together like a school girl. Thor and I both stared at her for a moment, Thor making the decision to speak first.

“That is your plan? Thor, call on the lightning to open a black hole?” Thor said in a dead pan. Aphrodite shrugged her shoulders and looked to each of us with confusion.

“Well sure, isn’t that how they’re made?” Aphrodite asked and I continued to stare on at her in disbelief. How the two of us sprung from the same seed was beyond my understanding at that particular moment, but I had to remember my mother was a fierce Amazon warrior and hers was a fond lover of peacocks. Thor threw his hands in the air before turning to leave.

“I am off to continue my relaxation and taking in of the sights,” Thor spoke as he walked away. I looked on at Aphrodite who still looked completely confused.

“Listen, we will talk later, catch up on our entire lives that we didn’t get to spend together, yes?” I spoke to her as she absently nodded. I patted her arm lightly as if she were a small child and not my much older half-sister. I then turned to catch up with Thor whose long legs had carried him almost all the way down the hallway. I trotted up next to him, now walking along side.

“Thor, we really should talk to more of the people that have been here for a time. Perhaps beings with slightly more heightened intelligences over Aphrodite and not just base it purely off of looks?” I spoke as Thor stopped walking and looked down to me.

“I will have you know that Aphrodite approached me.  She practically tackled me when she saw me walking down the hallway,” Thor said as she crossed his burly arms one over the other. My eyes glanced to the muscles in his forearms bulging from the crossing effect and I made my brown orbs immediately jump back up to meet with his blue ones. I decided to change the subject, noticing now that he was without his hammer.

“Where is your hammer? Do you not worry of people attempting to steal it? It seems incredibly powerful,” I asked as he gave me a sidelong grin.

“Trust me; I have no fear that anyone will still Mjolnir in the least. Is that why you insist on carrying that yellow rope with you everywhere? What is so special about a rope?” Thor said, pointing to the lasso on my hip. I decided to let the fact that he named his weapon slide for now. I glanced down to my lasso and then back up at him with a smirk.

“I think I shall save that mystery for another time,” I said and Thor continued to smile at me for a moment. Almost a moment too long as I started to glance around me in a slight bout of uncomfortableness.

“If it troubles you that much that I left it in my quarters, why not fetch it for me?” Thor asked as he held his hand out in front of him towards the door of the room we were currently standing by. I furrowed my eyebrows, a bit offended that he asked me to fetch his stupid hammer instead of just fetching it himself.

“Why do you need me to fetch it? Fetch it your burly self,” I asked, crossing my arms over my chest in a huff.

“You spoke of its power; does it not make you curious what it might feel like? Please, by all means…” Thor said as he held his hand out again towards the door and I eyed him curiously. All right, fine, he was right I was in fact curious and so I turned the knob to the door and walked into his room, eyeing the hammer resting on a nearby table. I moved over to it, Thor following in after me and I didn’t hesitate to immediately wrap my hand around the handle to lift it. Well, I thought I was going to lift it. To my surprise, the hammer did not move even a millimeter. Thor placed his hands behind his back as he raised his eyebrows to me.

“Well, what is the matter Amazon? Just pick it up, it cannot be that heavy for you,” Thor said as I started to see a wicked grin spreading across his face as I continued to pull with all my might to no avail. I left out a breath of slight exhaustion as I furrowed my brows at him.

“What is the meaning of this? Some form of sorcery?” I asked and he smiled, reaching past me to grip the handle and lift the hammer up as if it were a feather. I’d be lying if I said that the fact I could not lift something didn’t bother me. It slightly infuriated me, in fact.

“No sorcery. My father, Odin enchanted this hammer so that only those who are worthy shall be able to wield the hammer. It is clear Diana of The Mascara that you are notworthy of such power,” Thor said with a smug smile, twirling the hammer about in his palm. My eyes narrowed into small slits, that same heat I felt yesterday starting to eek it’s way up the back of my neck. This Thunder god had no idea who he had started a war with in the least. He gave another nod as he turned to walk for the door and exit his room, waving at me idly as he did so.

“Feel free to try again any time you desire. You know where to find me,” Thor said as he gave me one last wicked grin over his shoulder to me and exited the room. I left out a huff, having held in my irritation as to avoid letting him see it and gripped onto the table so harshly I broke apiece off in my hand. I eyed the crumbles of granite as they fell to the floor and narrowed my eyes. All right Norseman, two could most certainly play at this game.
