DC: The Brave and the Bawdy

Wonder Woman: A Proper Older Sister

Donna watched out over the horizon with excitement. Today was the day. Diana had said she would return on to Themyscira on this beach at this time. It had been almost a year this time and Donna was excited to see her older sister again.

Across the sea, Diana was known as the superhero Wonder Woman. Years ago she'd left to combat the threat of Ares looming in the world of men. She fought back against Ares and later other threats as well. Diana began to split her time between Themyscira and the world of men. Eventually her duties as Wonder Woman demanded more of her time, and visits to Themyscira were just that: visits.

Donna understood. She missed Diana, but she could hardly blame her for spending more time away from the island. She always returned with new stories of her adventures abroad as well as fun details about the world of men. No one loved these stories more than Donna. She insisted Diana tell her more every time she visited.

Diana was fond of Donna in turn. The two's relationship went back as far as Donna could remember. 20 years ago a ship sank in a storm near Themyscira. Diana had, against her mother Hippolyta's advice, swam out to try to save the crew. Donna, an infant at the time, was the only one she could save.

Diana had brought the infant back and the Amazons agreed to raise her as one of them. Donna grew up on Themyscira and trained with the other Amazons, inheriting strength far beyond that of a normal human. The divine nature of the island empowered all of the Amazons, even the adopted ones.

Donna was placed in the care of Phoebe, herself a refugee of the Trojan War. Though Phoebe served as Donna's mother, Diana was a huge influence on her life. Diana helped train Donna and the two's bond was as strong as any two sisters.

"<She's here!>*" squealed Donna suddenly, "<Diana has returned!>"

*Translated from ancient Greek

Donna shouted loud enough that the others inland could hear. Donna frantically waved up at the sky as the figure in the sky drew closer and closer. There was no question. If Diana's flight hadn't given her away, she herself was unmistakable. She was incredibly tall and an incredibly muscular stature. There were none in Themyscira that could rival her strength. Diana wore the same traditional white Themysciran tunic with gold trim as Donna, which showed off the impressive muscles on her arms and legs.

"<Donna,>" greeted Diana as she lowered herself to the sand, "<It's good to see you again.>"

Donna wrapped her arms around Diana in a hug. Diana hugged back, mussed up Donna's hair, and gave her a playful shove aside. Donna responded with a light jab, which Diana easily pushed away with her hand. Diana then held both palms out as Donna took turns punching either of them.

Diana and Donna had sparred together since Donna had been old enough to throw a punch. Diana had trained her in hand-to-hand, swordplay, and more. Diana was constantly testing Donna with little play matches like this. Donna liked it. It reminded her of when they were younger.

Diana then quickly gave Donna a light slap in the side of the head. Donna frantically threw both of her hands at the blow, but missed entirely. With Donna's guard now at her head, Diana swiftly lifted her leg and gave Donna a forward kick in the abdomen. Donna coughed up as she fell back and landed on her butt in the sand.

"<You're getting sloppy,>" grinned Diana, offering Donna a hand.

Donna smiled back, taking Diana's hand and getting up to her feet.

"<Diana!>" called out the grand and familiar voice of Hippolyta, "<Welcome back!>"

"<Mother,>" smiled Diana, "<It's good to be back.>"
