Wonder Woman x Sibling Reader: Becoming A Part of A Team (Book 2)

Prologue

   Y/N'S POV

  "Bruce, you and Steve should stay here. Just in case the Amazons have a heart attack... or worse."

  Knowing Bruce, I knew that he didn't want to leave me; especially, given that protective side of him that had managed to show up countless times as I have gotten the chance to know the man behind Batman or Bruce Thomas Wayne for some time. 

  Steve. Steve was trying real hard not to just grab me and make me stay.

  Steve said,"Why not? Y/N, I was here with D-"

  My smile faded because I knew exactly what Steve was about to say next. The last time that Steve and I were here together was when we first got on the boat to leave Themyscira.

  Steve noticed his mistake almost immediately, and I got off the boat.

  Steve said,"It's all right. You're strong, remember? Just say what you have to say to your mother. You already kept it in this long, Y/N. You just need to tell her before it consumes you. Okay?"

  I nodded and then hugged Steve before he hugged me back.

  He said,"I love you."

  I smiled before I said,"I love you, too. You, too, Batman."

  Bruce just smiled, and I let go of Steve rather slowly.
  Eventually, I made my way towards the arena, where I saw Mother and the other senators talking to one another.

  One of the guards noticed me, and then she bowed to me before she said,"Princess Y/N, it's good to see that you are well."

  I bowed back to the guard before she got Mother's attention. Mother turned to see me standing there, but tears formed in her eyes immediately.

  She smiled before she said,"My beautiful daughter, you have grown. Come here."

  I rushed over to Mother and hugged her before she said,"I've missed you and your sister so much. Wait, where's Diana?"

  I said softly,"Mother, D... Diana's dead. She's gone."

  Mother chuckled, and I could tell that she thought that this was a joking matter. There were times when Diana and I were younger, where we would pretend as if one of us had just been defeated and the other would rush to their aid. Unfortunately, I had failed to do so for Diana.

  Mother rested her hand on my cheek as she said,"I see that you two are still just as playful. Darling, really. Where is she?"

  I sighed before I answered,"Mother, she's really gone. Diana's not waiting to come out and surprise you because she's not coming. She's not here. She's gone because of me."

  Mother's eyes filled with tears, realizing that I was being completely honest with her.
  She rested her hand on her stomach as if she could feel the pain in her abdomen.

  I said,"Mother, I-"

  Mother shook her head and then held up her hand, snapping at me,"What happened, Y/N?!! It was your duty to protect her and that Steve Trevor!! He's on our lands right now, isn't he?"

  How would she know that?

  Mother began to walk out of the arena, but I rushed after her while yelling,"MOTHER, I'M SORRY!! WE WERE UP AGAINST ARES, AND I WAS STUCK! HE WENT AFTER DIANA AND KILLED HER! Mother."

  Mother kept walking as she yelled back at me,"IT DOESN'T MATTER, Y/N! YOU DIDN'T KEEP YOUR WORD, AND NOW, YOUR SISTER IS GONE!! My dear Diana."

  Mother stopped walking, and yet, we were so close to the boat.

  I knew that she could see Steve and Bruce, at this point, before she said to me,"I knew that it was a mistake letting the two of you leave with that man."

  Mother walked up to the boat and glared at Steve while Steve shifted uncomfortably.

  Mother then noticed Bruce before she asked him,"Who might you be?"

  Bruce held out his hand as he answered,"Bruce Wayne. You must be Y/N's mother. It's nice to meet you."

  Mother just looked at Bruce's hand, and Bruce slipped his hand back into his pocket.

  Mother said,"I want the two of you gone now. I already lost one of my precious daughters. Now, I'm not going to lose another one."

  I looked at Mother confused before I realized what she meant.

  I said,"With all due respect, Mother, I can't stay here."

  Mother turned to me as she yelled,"WHY NOT?! YOU LOST YOUR SISTER OUT THERE, AND NOW, YOU JUST WANT TO GO BACK!"

  I yelled back,"YES, I DO, BECAUSE I ALSO MADE A PROMISE THAT I WOULDN'T LEAVE STEVE AND HELP BRUCE! THEY NEED ME, MOTHER!!"

  Mother shook her head, then she said,"You've always been so easily distracted, Y/N. These men could be using you."

  I said,"Mother, I can't stay. I can't. Yes, I get distracted, but if it wasn't for men like Steve or Bruce, I wouldn't have been able to find out more about myself. I might not have been able to be so confident and accept myself for who I am."

  Mother got in my face as she told me,"Who you are is my daughter, and that is all. NOT whatever these men have put into your head. You will stay here, and that is final. They don't need your help. I'm sure that they can figure that out amongst themselves."

  I stood up for myself as I said,"No, I'm more than just your daughter. I'm a fighter. I have people who are counting on me, and I can't let them down, so I'm making a choice for myself: I'm leaving."

  Steve said,"Baby."

  Mother looked at Steve confused, but she said to me,"If you're truly leaving with these men, then don't ever come back. I can't risk any of our people getting hurt. Because of you."

  "If it were the other way around. If Diana had lived, and I had died, would you say the same thing to her?"

  When Mother just looked at me, I knew her answer.

  I turned away from her before I said,"I love you, too, Mother. It was nice seeing you again."

  I got back on the boat before I sat down on the edge of the boat.
  Then, I looked up towards the heavens and let my tears fall before I felt Steve's arms around me.

  I just accepted his comfort, and Steve said,"I'm proud of you for facing your mother. Aren't you glad that you said what you needed to say?"

  I sniffed before I answered,"I... I don't know. Mother is clearly still doubtful of me. Steve, maybe I should have just-"

  Bruce said,"No. Don't finish that sentence, Y/N. What happened to Diana wasn't your fault. No, you shouldn't have taken her place. You're here for a reason, Y/N. Don't let anything change that. Get some rest. We have a league to unite now that you did what you had to."

  I laid down, and Steve wrapped his arms around me. I held his hands, and it wasn't long before I fell asleep. I just hoped that one day my mother could forgive me.
