And honestly, what would you have done? I just did it better. At the time, I'd like to think my intentions were noble.īut I'm no hero. I just knew I had to get out of there or I'd get killed, and if I left her behind in that state, she would get killed. She's tall, and really strong, so she's heavier than you'd expect for someone so drop dead gorgeous - and ran to my car. There I picked her up - not so easy, actually. But I got her out of the line of fire, and back into an alley. She was shivering, and even her shivers practically threw me back. So I crawled out, and I dragged her back. But right then, I was the only one near her. I have a degree in English, and a job in a bookstore. The two of them rolled out of the way, and for the moment everyone was too busy to kill or save the Amazon. Deathstroke leapt for her, almost too fast to be seen, and he was clearly going for a kill - only the Flash tackled him in the last second. Fall to Earth, hitting the pavement hard enough to shatter the macadam. She threw a punch that knocked Poison Ivy back into next week, but the damage had been done. I don't know what it was, but it made her rubbery, and made her choke. But she nailed Wonder Woman with some kind of gas bomb. Someone who can throw trucks around shouldn't have any problem with her. I know, it seems weird - here's a green chick that Batman beats every time they meet. I'm not convinced some strains of houseplant don't hunger for her. Gay men reconsider heterosexuality when they see her. Straight women see Diana of Themyscira, and they want her. Everything about her made me believe in her.Īnd I lusted after her. I just know it was not going well, and I was caught downtown in Keystone City when it was happening.Īnd I saw her fight. The Flash was being pinned down by Zoom and - oh God, I don't know who they all were. Batman had his hands full with the Joker, the Penguin and Captain Cold. Superman was facing off against both Bizarro and Black Adam. The Justice League was fighting some coalition of villains, and it was a no-holds-barred affair. It was another one of these apocalyptic wars between hero and villain that sometimes litter the landscape. But even if we stipulate it was, I couldn't do that. Well, actually, no I wouldn't love to tell you that, because that's not my thing. I'd love to tell you stories of my ingenuity and iron will, taking a woman who could tear steel in half and decimate half an army and making her mine by sheer superiority. Countless men (and more than a few women) before me have dreamed of capturing Wonder Woman.
