Wonder Woman. Enyo's Revenge

Bombs in the East

Diana, attired in her Wonder Woman costume, made sure, as she flew her invisible aircraft across the Atlantic, that maximum speed was always maintained, for there was little time to avert the crisis that was about to occur. Trevor had informed her that President Trump had authorised an air strike against targets in Iran, and though she shared his loathing for that country's regime, he'd made a terrible mistake. There needed to be, she was sure, a greater show of aggression from the Iranian regime before America's allies would support an attack on that country, America itself could be divided over the issue. So, when, as she reached Iranian air space, and saw two American bombers above her, she determined to stop the bombs hitting their intended targets. Putting her aircraft on auto control, Diana then stood on the planes roof, and after catching the bombs as they plummeted earthward, she hurled them skywards, where they exploded in the stratosphere. The pilots of the bombers communicated briefly, unable to comprehend what had happened, before returning to base, assuming that Iran had some air defence that wasn't known of in America.

About twelve hours later Diana met President Trump in the White House. The President unleashed a torrent of foul-mouthed abuse at her, which he concluded by saying that he could send hundreds of planes to bomb Iran, and even she couldn't stop that.

"Mr President," Diana spoke softly, hoping she could calm him, "I support your policy in the middle east, but to attack Iran now is a bad mistake. You must give the Iranians more rope to hang them-selves with, or you'll divide America, possibly as badly as the Vietnam war did."

Several others were present, and one, the Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, now spoke. "Hell, Diana, we've a Christian duty to nail that scum in Iran, and you're not going to stop us!"

"What," the President asked, "do you propose Diana? Are you worried that innocent people would die?"

"There's collateral damage in every conflict," one of the men added.

"I know," Diana replied, "but Iran is on a collision course with us, so just let them commit a few more outrages, and then America, and the world, will unite behind you bringing about regime change there."

"I think she's right." The speaker was a woman, the only person present, apart from Diana, who wasn't male. She was an elegantly and conservatively dressed lady, about forty years of age, her brown hair being carefully manicured, as was the make up on her face, and her voice was calm as she continued, "We can pick the best moment to act, and it's not now."

After pondering in silence for a short while, the President spoke again. "Greta," he began, "if you think it's okay I'll go with it." Ignoring protests from Pompeo, President Trump addressed Diana. "We hold fire. For now."

Diana thanked him, and before leaving addressed Greta. "We've not met before."

"I'm an advisor to the President." Greta smiled warmly and shook Diana's hand. "Some of us may not always agree with your analysis, but we, myself especially, greatly admire what you do for America."

"Thank you and thank you for your help." Diana exited the White House.

A day later Trevor arrived at Diana's house, and after he knocked on the front door heard her call to him. "Round the back." At the rear of the house was a swimming pool, and Trevor found Diana, clad in white shorts and crop top, seated by the pool. He sat on a chair beside Diana and addressed her. "Your message said you had good news."

"Yea," Diana's voice was weary, "I'll begin with that, then get to the bad news. Greta Jones, do you know her?"

"I've heard the name, she's a presidential aide."

"I met her yesterday, and there was something about her that made me suspicious, call it instinct, so I got a tech wizard guy I know called Theo, to investigate her, as I knew that the CIA wouldn't look into the nature of someone so close to Mr Trump. Within a couple of hours Theo called me to say he'd hacked her profile, and that her parents, according to the profile, are fictitious. After more searching the internet he found that she changed her name to Jones some years ago, and that she's actually the granddaughter of Dr Poison."
