I pull the man from the wreck and lie him on the sand in front of me. I study his face and place my hand lightly on his cheek. He stirs and spits up the water he looks around, and his blue orbs fall on me. We stare for a moment words failing both of us.
"You're a man," I state perplexed on how he is here on Themyscira.
"Yeah, do I not look like one?" He questions. He sits up and looks around. "Where are we?"
"Themyscira," I state still looking at him in wonder. He looked confused on the name I just said. "Who are you?" Creaking of metal can be heard from the sea. I turn to look and see a huge boat and smaller one sailing toward the shore.
"One of the good guys and those are the bad guys."
"What?" I stand up with him.
"The Germans. We need to get outta here."
"Germans?"
"Diana! Get away from her now!" My mother's voice calls from above. I look up at her and can barely see the horror upon her face. "Ready your bows!"
"They have guns, right?" The stranger inquires. Shots are exchanged from both sides as the man takes my hand and pulls me with him. "Come on!" We run for cover behind some rocks. I look at the strange men setting foot on the shore and my mother's army descending from ropes to defend our island from the invaders. I watch a peculiar arrow fly past me and hit one of my people as I get knocked to the side by the man I saved. I watch her lifeless form hang from the rope. I watch the chaos happen from all around me. I watch my aunt's quick reflexes take control and can't help but want to fight along with her, but the stranger tells me to stay put. Deciding I can't idly sit by I grab a bow and take aim. I look around for a moment to see if I can see any more attackers coming before I hear a scream I turn around and see my aunt fall wounded towards the ground. I run to her as she lays on the ground that air around us turn still and silent. I hold her in my arms.
"No." I breathe.
"Diana." She struggles. "The time has come. You must, godkiller, Diana go."
"Go where?"
"Diana go." She falls limp in my arms against my objections. Hot tears fill my eyes. My mother falls to her knees to look at her sister. My mother quickly draws her sword and goes after the man.
"Mother no." I stand in front of him with my arm raised. "He fought at my side against the invaders."
"What man fights against his own people?" Menalippe interrogates.
"Those aren't my people." He informs us.
"Then why do you wear their colors?"
"I'm not at liberty to tell you that ma'am."
"You need to tell us now," Philippus demands.
"What is your name." My aunt's lover questions. I look at him as I come to his side.
"I can't tell you that either."
"We should kill him now and be done with it." Someone speaks up from the back.
"If we kill him, we know nothing of who they are or why they came." Philippus reasons. I offer the man a reassuring smile before we take him back to the throne room.

The man kneels before my mother, and I with the Lasso of Hestia wrapped around his torso.
"What is your name?" I ask him politely.
"My name is Captain Steve Rogers, an experiment from the Strategic Scientific Reserve, serial number 987654320." He looked down and back at us. "What is this thing?"
"The Lasso of Hestia compels you to reveal the truth." He looks back to me.
"It's scorching."
"What is your mission?"
"Whoever you are, you are in more danger than you think?"
"What is your mission." My mother demands.
"I'm a soldier who didn't have a mission. I got accepted into the SSR and underwent an experiment that made the way I am, but they dismissed me, and I went to work for the USO. It wasn't until later that I found out my friend's Infantry went missing in enemy lines that I took matters into my own hands to liberate them from their prison." He gives the information quickly. "They did experiments on some of the men in the labs. The base was destroyed after I manage to grab a plane and escape before I got shot down in your gulf. If I can get back to Italy where they are being stationed, then I can help stop millions of more innocent people dying in this endless war."
"War? What War?" I ask him.
"The second world war. Homes and villages looted and burned. Weapons that far deadlier than you can imagine. It's like the world is going to end." I know horror is written across my face.
