Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl

39

Dick Grayson's POV

"We've looked for her everywhere including the woods and she can't be found! Oh, almighty Zeus! Where can she be??!!" Queen Hippolyta exclaims with extreme worry as she sits down on her throne chair, Hippolyta's face was filled with such desperation on Lydia's 'disappearance' , "What if she can't be found? Will she know where she's going? What if someone has kidnapped her?"

"Please, your majesty, do not drown yourself in such a hollow pit filled with questions, the Amazons are on the search for Miss Lydia...now please drink some tea that I have prepared for you...," the servant girl hands Hippolyta a silver cup that was filled with an steamy,red-orange liquid inside

"I'm okay, Kiya, I'm too anxious to drink tea right now..." Hippolyta waves her hand then rubs her face, "my precious Lydia is missing......what have I done?..."

"I'm sure Lydia is okay, Queen Hippolyta, she's a strong girl, I know it. Nothing bad will happen to her, she knows her way around here in Theymiscara," I try to lighten the tension

"Of course, you're right about that, Richard, but Lydia isn't familiar with all of Theymiscara..." A fustrated sigh escapes her lips as she closes her blue eyes and pinches the bridge of her nose, "what if we don't find her before her Diana even notices?" Hippolyta leans back

Kiya sets the cup-filled tea on a silver tray -where a tea set also stood there, then walks up to Hippolyta to massage her tensed shoulders,
"Don't worry, your majesty, everything will be okay...Lydia will be with us...the gods will oversee her,"

"Oh Kiya, you're such a dear, thank you...I know we're in the middle of a situation, but how's the cow Virgrina doing? Is she well now?" Hippolyta asks

"Oh yeah! She's doing really well, the doctors said she passed out because of the flu she had. They're now treating her antibiotics for the bacteria," I inform

"Well, thank the gods that Virginia is better now...the poor thing..." Kiya adds, she steps away from the throne to organize the tea set

"I think I shall go take a walk at my garden, would you care to join us, Richard?" Hippolyta stands up and walks away from her throne, her long furry cape filling behind, boots clanging! here and there

"Sure, I hope my presence wouldn't be a bother to you," I respond

Hippolyta walks over to my direction,
"Why would you be a bother, Richard? You're famil-"

All of sudden, Hippolyta's eyes roll back and close as her body slams the ground

"Hippolyta!!"
Without hesitation, I immediately run over to her limp body

"Queen Hippolyta!!!" Kiya yells out as she immediately lets the silver tray drop from her hands as a loud bong! echoes through the throne room

I place my two fingers under Hippolyta's jawline to feel a pulse,
"She's not breathing!!!!!"

"Guards!! Call in the infirmary!!"

Lydia's POV

"Oh my gods!! Mother!!!" Daphne's loud yell echoes through this dark, dim-lit temple

I turn to see Iris still holding her silver dagger in one hand but the other holds a long piece of brown hair...

"W-whose hair is th-that?" I point at Iris's hand that held hair,

"Well, it's yours dear, of course! I needed a sample of your divine hair!!" Iris chuckles and walks over to a concrete crafting table that had a huge bowl with...coconut water?

The table also had a variety of different vials and random items like an apple, a rose, and even jewelry

Iris places the piece of hair in the huge filled bowl,
"There we go! This was the important step for me to take!" She looks over at my direction, "oh my gods! You look different with short hair! I love it!" She chuckles

I hear Daphne angrily groan from behind,
"Mother! We need to talk!!" She pulls Iris away from the table and stands by the entrance

M-my hair?....

My heart begins to rapidly beat as my breathing was hollow, I could only hear the sounds of Daphne and Iris's bickering slowly fading away...

...My hands both snake up to feel my new hair. I no longer felt my familiar, long strands of  hair....the shoulder-length hair I now have was peculiar...and it felt strange

My hair...oh my gods...why did I let this happen?........

A hand squeezes my hair as I closed my eyes, I couldn't bear to cry for the loss of my long hair

"You know what mother?! I'm taking Lydia back to Hippolyta!" I head Daphne yell

"Daphne!! You will not do that! She's already here, there's no turning back my child...now let us continue..." Iris returns to work on the crafting table

Daphne angrily groans again,
"I'm sorry mother but-"

"No, it's okay, I've dealt with worse scenarios than this..." I say as I push away my dismal, I needed to put on a brave face now...

"Lydia, I didn't know my mother was going to chop your hair, I'm so sorry-"

I pulled myself together from my 'hair incident',
"Don't. I just want to get through this and return back with my family..." 

Daphne opens her mouth to speak again, but closes her mouth and walks over to Iris on the crafting table

Her sorrow gray eyes meet my brown one's before giving the craft table her full attention

There was clinking! and clanking! in the silent air...the two women were completing their own jobs

"It is done, my dear!" Iris exclaims as she holds a closed-cap vial that contained full red dust inside...

Iris walks up to me with her usual excited facial expression while Daphne stays behind, sulking in the shadows

"Are you ready, my dear?" Iris asks, she shakes the glass vial and then uncaps it

"Always and forever will be..." I respond as she pours a huge pile of red dust on her palm

"Okay! Oh- and tell your father I said hello!"
She blows the red dust onto my face,

The horrible, red dust flies into my nose, a disturbing, itching feeling climbs in

Oh gods...my nose-

ACHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
