Kara was bringing Diana up to speed on everything she'd missed and Diana was happy to learn about Powergirl and vowed to help her and Clark track down this Superboy clone and free him, though it did make her a bit jealous, since while Kara had found another sister, she'd still lost all of hers.

However, they were distracted from their conversation when suddenly the Island began to shake.

"What's going on?" Diana asked as they both tried to keep their balance.

"I don't know. Kelex." Kara said, summoning the Island's caretaker robot.

"How can I assist you, Mistress Kara?" the robot asked her in a female voice as it descended as the Island shook again.

"What's going on? Is an earthquake causing this?" Kara asked.

"Negative. External scans reveal that an unknown enemy has somehow located the Island and is attacking its supports, attempting to sink it." Kelex said.

"Impossible, there's no way human technology could penetrate the Island's cloaking field." Kara said as she rushed over to the computers and pulled up the sonar scans.

"It's true, what looks like an entire navy of underwater ships are trying to sink the Island. I don't know how they bypassed security." Supergirl said.

"They swam under it." Diana said.

"What?" Kara asked.

"Can your scanners get us an actual visual on the attackers?" Diana asked, since she had her suspicions about this attack, but she'd need proof to believe it.

"Kelex." Kara said.

"Right away lady Kara." Kelex said as the screen began to show images of strange battleships, unlike anything Kara had ever seen before and way beyond any technology Earth could create, even her company.

"I knew it. Atlantis." Diana said.

"Wait, Atlantis is real?" Kara asked as the Island shook again.

"Yes. And it was a major rival of Themyscira, since they worship Poseidon while my people worship Zeus. Long story, but the gist of it is that we didn't like each other, but like Themyscira, Atlantis avoids all contact with the surface. They prefer to dwell in the shroud of myth and legend. Especially since from what I've heard, they detest the surface world." Diana said.

"So then why are they attacking my island?" Kara asked.

"I don't know, but I have a feeling that this can only mean one thing. They're preparing to declare war on the surface world and likely want to take you out as a show of strength." Diana said.

"Well then, I guess we'll have to stop that. Kelex, send a signal to Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter, have them join us here immediately. In the meantime, let's go meet our attackers." Kara said.

"With pleasure. I've always wanted to bash some Atlantean skulls." Diana said, glad they were both still suited up as they flew out of the island to see what looked like a troop carrier coming to the surface.

"They are not taking my island." Supergirl said.

"No they are not. They may have numbers, but they don't have the strength to defeat a Kryptonian and an Amazon." Wonder Woman agreed.

"We'll see about that!" a voice shouted and they looked down to see a man in blue and purple armor wearing some kind of silver helmet and holding a silver trident who appeared to be the leader.

"Who are you?" Supergirl demanded as she flew down and began to plow through the troops.

"I am King Orm of Atlantis, but you may address me as Ocean Master." the man said as Diana landed in front of him.
