TheTrialsOfHercules

Diana paced from side to side in the team's lair while heavy in thought. This of course was taken notice by the rest of the team, as Diana wasn't the kind to just worry about something. Izuku decided to ask the Amazon what exactly was wrong with her, but with his own brand of tact.

"Um, Diana, why are you pacing like that?" asked Izuku causing Diana to stop in her tracks.

She turned to face her team before realizing that her actions might've upset them. Or at the very least worry them.

"My apologies friends. I just received the most worrying news," Diana said pulling out a scroll and opening it for the group to see. "My mother has invited me and Izuku to Themyscira for the Festival of Hercules," She said, however the team didn't react to it so much.

"Is that a bad thing, or..?" asked Kara, a little confused to the severity of the invitation. "Because being invited to a party is something that most people would love. If greenie can't go, can I go?"

"You do not understand the gravity of the situation. Men aren't allowed on Themyscira, and if my mother is calling Izuku in particular it could mean that there's trouble," Diana assumed dreadingly. "Maybe she figured out that Izuku isn't Zeus' champion. It could all be a ruse. Maybe as soon as we make it to the island the guards will capture us and send us to the dungeon for the rest of eternity!"

"Diana, calm down!" Kara exclaimed, firmly shaking her and calming the Amazon princess. "You said that this is an invitation, right?" she asked

"Yes, it does say that," said Diana now much more calmed.

"And your mom is more of, 'I'll go fetch whoever has wronged me' type, right?" Barbara added.

"Yes, that has been proven many times before," Diana replied, remembering how her mother brought an entire battalion to retrieve her.

"Then, this can't be a trap," said Kara holding up the scroll. "So, you two go and have fun. And you greenie, be on your best behavior. Not many are invited to a manless island filled with warrior woman." She added causing Izuku to slightly pale in fear.

Now that Kara had mentioned it, the thought of being surrounded by legions of highly trained warriors was indeed a frightening thought. He had seen them fight the first time against the demolition bots on the pier, and had gotten a good idea of their fighting style through his training with Diana. If he even so much as twitched in a wrong sense, then he'd be a goner. So long would be his dreams of becoming a great hero if that were the case. Izuku stiffened up at the thought and swore to himself that he would not do anything that angered the Amazons.

The next day, both Izuku and Diana had taken her boat back to Themyscira. All the while Izuku was going over every source he could get his hands on about Amazon culture and customs. Diana glanced at the green-haired hero and noticed what he was reading.

"Izuku, what are you reading?" asked Diana looking at the history books.

"Oh, I went to the library and took out these books on ancient cultures to not screw up in front of the other Amazons," said Izuku

"Why do you seek knowledge from books? When you have a true vibrant Amazon before you!" proclaimed Diana, as the sun shone through the clouds, making her appear like a figure straight out of a dream.

"Um, well, it's just that I don't-um think that I could ask you just like that," said Izuku shyly, at the thought of asking Diana for pointers.

"Izuku, I trust you on the battlefield and as my friend. I will gladly teach you everything about Amazon culture!" proclaimed Diana, not noticing that she was a little too close for comfort for Izuku.
