"I guess I'll see you at your apartment," Diana says to Steve, before racing off down the city street and tossing her scarf over her shoulder at him. She runs down a sidestreet, shedding her coat and ripping off her sweater and skirt to reveal the star-spangled armored costume she always wears underneath. She races out of the alleyway, golden armor glinting in the sun, lasso of truth hanging at her hip, and prepares to leap onto the police car barricade toward the bank, toward the half-animal woman who just tore out of the building and snapped an officer's neck-- only she isn't there.
No half-animal woman, no police cars, no officers firing shots, no bank, no New York City street. The sight that greets her is vastly different from what she expects, just the well-lit lobby of a nicely furnished modern building. Head high, Diana-- Wonder Woman-- scans the room around her and turns, pivoting to face the way she came. Nothing familiar lay that way, only two doors she had not passed through.
"What is this place?" she asks the room in general, twirling her lasso pre-emptively. Obviously some god or another was playing a trick on her. Not Ares, thank Hera, she had seen that he was unfit to fight, but someone was toying with her. "Who's behind this?"
Typist: May I introduce Diana of Themyscira, daughter of Queen Hippolyta of the Amazons, fresh from the very end of the 2009 animated movie Wonder Woman.
