Chapter 38
DIANA PRINCE
Diana of Themyscira had many mistakes in her life, yet none haunted her more than what she had done ten years ago. She had chosen to make a sacrifice for the greater good. A mistake that had doomed the world.
She was a demi-god, a descendent of Zeus himself, an Amazonian charged with protecting the world from evil. Her heritage allowed her knowledge and understanding of threats that humanity had long forgotten, and the greatest of these threats was none other than Darkseid.
A being of absolute destruction that turned entire galaxies to ash, she had learned of its existence, learned of the danger it posed to their world through dreams, visions that would haunt her for months, showing her only death, destruction, and ruin.
She would see their futility, their failure, as the great evil descended on their land and razed it to the ground. She would beg the Gods for a hint, for a way to save the humans from this great evil, and would believe her call answered when visions of a human would reach her brain.
And in the midst of this chaos, a glimmer of hope emerged. That hope was a human, the key to all of this.
"It all began in a vision," she began explaining, as she had done to Batman before. Even now, as she retold the tale of her guilt, she could see his rage and anger, yet he would hold it in check for the sake of humanity, for the future.
"It was years ago that visions of Darkseid's arrival on Earth began to haunt me. He is a being unlike any, powerful, cruel, and with aides well versed in the art of trickery and magic. I would find the Earth unprepared and would see only death and destruction in the future," she began looking at the woman clad in a black suit, trying to make her understand.
"What did Thomas have to do with that?" she asked, biting her lip as she looked him in the eye and replied.
"Everything," she answered.
"When I saw no future for humanity, I began to beg the gods for a sign, a chance at salvation, and that was when I first saw him. Thomas Wayne, and though to you all he seemed human, a normal human with flesh and blood, the truth is he was but anything like that," she began, her guilt getting multiplied as the true nature of her crime revealed itself.
"What do you mean? You are trying to say Thomas was not human," Selina Kyle raged and scoffed as she turned towards his brother, Bruce, who still appeared serious. This made the young brunette stop and look between them in disbelief.
"You have to be joking," she spoke out, perplexed by the notion.
"I am not," she answered.
"He was human, yet he was not. You see, he was much like me," she answered and saw the girl reel back as her eyes widened.
"But you are..." and she nodded.
"A child of the Gods," she answered, even though their parentage differed greatly.
"But he was Thomas, we know his parents. He is Bruce's brother," Selina Kyle asked as she turned towards her and Bruce Wayne.
"Thomas was indeed regular, yet he was not born. Thomas Wayne was not supposed to exist. He was to die in the womb of Martha Wayne on that fateful day, yet he lived, for he was blessed by none other than the God of the Death of himself. He was in some ways a child of the King of Hell, Hades," she spoke and saw Bruce grit his teeth. Thomas's lower frowned before shaking her head.
"I do not believe you," she said as she was about to walk away.
"Selina, please..."
"Don't tell me you believe this, Bruce,"
