Marvel's Superman

The night was like water, and the bright moonlight fell on the shimmering sea, reflecting a silvery glow.

The light wind drifted quietly through the vast mountains and forests, shaking the leaves on the branches and making a rustling sound.

Luke stood on the spacious balcony, sipping a cup of Amazon's special fruit wine.

For the outsider, this group of demigoddess warriors living on the island didn't carry obvious hostility.

It was more like novelty, surprise, and undisguised enthusiasm.

After all, in Themyscira, a land of pure women, men were a species that had never existed before.

'It's not really just Wonder Woman's origin story, is it? '

Luke took a sip of the fragrant fruit wine, and many doubts arose in his heart.

According to the five gods, a brand-new change was more like a description of a big event.

Moreover, before he came to this world, he clearly saw the Flash, Barry Allen.

'Finding the correct answer is difficult. '

Looking at the rising tide of the sea in the distance, Luke shook his head and smiled, leaving the problem behind.

He could always figure out the point in time later on. Before that, he could quietly observe this strange world.

The Amazons, with the Greek gods behind them…

And they were divided into old gods, the original Titans, like Chaos, the God of Chaos, and Gaia, the Mother of Earth.

The Amazons believed in the old gods, but Wonder Woman was the child of the new gods, namely Zeus, Hera, and Poseidon.

The two parties were sworn enemies, and their internal interests were intertwined.

Just like the Asgard of the Marvel Universe, the history of the Greek gods was essentially filled with family conflicts. free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

Fathers and sons being cruel to each other, brothers killing each other, cheating and infidelity, sowing seeds everywhere …

The gang of gods had no ethics to speak of, such as Hades, the God of the Underworld, had bad intentions for his niece, Diana, Wonder Woman.

Just thinking of Themyscira, with such a complicated background, Luke couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

"The water is too deep."

He muttered.

"What did you say … too deep?"

A delicate, clean face appeared on the edge of the balcony without warning, interrupting Luke's scattered thoughts.

"I thought only Amazons had the habit of talking to themselves."

Diana placed her hands on the railing and peeked out to stare at Luke.

With a triumphant smile on her face, she seemed to have done something great.

With a strong hand, like an energetic and powerful female leopard, she jumped onto the balcony with ease.

"Diana, the Amazon Queen should have told you that ladies don't run around at night and that a noble Princess shouldn't break into a strange man's room in the dead of night."

Luke looked down and helplessly said so.

His room stood on the edge of a cliff, near the coast.

Surrounded by steep rock walls, without a place to land.

If not for the extraordinarily strong physical qualities of the Amazons, plus Diana's blessing from the twelve gods, climbing unassisted would have been an impossible task.

"As long as you don't tell, no one will know."

Diana didn't care. In her opinion, the small cliff couldn't defeat the brave and intrepid Amazon Princess.

"Mother said that the Amazon competition will be held tomorrow."

"The final victor will send you back to the world of man and establish a bridge to communicate with the outside world."

Luke nodded thoughtfully, then looked at the smiling young girl. She was different from the young girl with long tied-up hair, clad in armor, and heroic posture he saw during the day.

The evening Diana changed into a white robe, with long black hair cascading down, adding a bit of feminine beauty.

"Will you attend?"

Luke asked curiously.

He felt like he had replaced Steve Trevor's role as the one who took Diana out of Themyscira.

"My mother won't allow me to attend."

Diana looked down, obviously a little depressed.

Influenced by Amazon's culture since childhood, the Princess was eager to prove her heroic qualities and meet the powerful requirements of a real warrior.

The gentle and kind Amazon Queen refused to let her participate in the competition without even thinking about it.

"But … I really want to see the outside world."

Diana was a little depressed and softly said, "Themyscira doesn't have the steamship you mentioned, nor the funny fairy tales and circus shows."

"By the way, what happened to the story you told me during the day? Jack and Rose, the ones that met on a ship called the Titanic."

Luke twitched his mouth and reconnected the story that hadn't been finished before. fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮

To be honest, telling a story to a pretty girl in the refreshing night breeze…

The atmosphere seemed a little ambiguous.

"… Thus, the story comes to a successful conclusion."

When Luke finished, Diana's face didn't reveal an emotional look.

Instead, she was slightly puzzled and asked, "Rose had an improper relationship with Jack without telling her fiancée. Isn't that betrayal?"

"And she took the expensive Heart of the Ocean, that's stealing other people's property, right?"

"Besides, when Jack knew Rose was engaged, it's clearly cheating. Even in the world of man, this's immoral, right?"

"…"

Luke's head was spinning as he heard Diana's incessant questions.

According to common sense, shouldn't a girl be moved to tears after hearing Titanic and then jump into his arms?

"Hmm, this is actually an affair story between a prodigal son and a rich girl."

Luke shrugged his shoulders, indicating that Diana had a point. Jack and Rose were a third party and a harlot.

"Do you think there's any way to get my mother to agree with me participating in the competition?"

After chatting for a while, the topic returned to its original point.

Diana complained to the stranger she should have been wary of.

Due to her noble status and the Amazons' hierarchy, the girl could not find anyone to talk to.

Diana had friends and partners, but they also respected the Amazon Queen and wouldn't question any of Hippolyta's decisions.

"Parents don't always want their children to grow up. Maybe you want to prove your courage and your excellent qualities as an Amazon Princess. But obviously, your mother doesn't think so. She thinks that you are still a child and needs to live under her protection. The outside world isn't safe; it's full of danger. She's just afraid that you would get hurt."

Luke acted as a qualified listener, and it was clear that the Amazon Queen had other objectives.

Sending an outsider who broke into Themyscira back to the outside world didn't need such fanfare.

"But I'm not a child. I want to be a qualified Amazon warrior!"

Diana sat on the balcony railing, her slender legs dangling in the air.

"It's not up to you, Diana. At a very young age, my father wanted me to be the best kind of person at a very young age, but I rarely satisfied him, even when I got an A+ on every report card. He always said that I lacked courage. Then, I asked my teacher what courage meant, and he told me that the courage is to challenge those impossible things, knowing that I would lose but still going forward, this kind of seemingly foolish behavior is real courage."

"What did you do to prove your courage to your father?"

Diana asked curiously. She leaned over and stared at the young man's eyes.

"I had a fight with the strongest guy in class. He bullied every transfer student and junior. I wrote a whole semester's worth of homework for him … On that day, I came home black and blue, like a dirty dog. But I saw my father's satisfied eyes. He told me that the world is realistic and cruel. Only a brave child can protect and get what they want."

Luke said lightly, the corners of his lips curled up in a smile.

The dark clouds piled up in the sky scattered, and the stars like pearls decorated the night sky.

Diana looked like she understood something. There was a look of determination in her eyes.

As an Amazon Princess, she had never lacked the ability to put her ideas into action.

"Thank you, Luke. I really want to see the outside world -- to travel around the world like you."

Diana said so slyly. A young girl's heart was always full of beautiful fantasies and illusory visions of the unknown world.

"The world isn't a pretty place, but it's worth seeing."

Luke chuckled as the night breeze blew gently past them both, seemingly tugging at someone's heartstrings.
