Circe grinned as she listened, yet again, to Batman's performance to save Wonder Woman from her porcine fate. She had kept her word, Diana was no longer a pig in body or mind, having her godly powers, beauty, and memories restored. But that didn't mean Circe was done toying with her. Tweaking would be a better word, she supposed a few moments later, as Batman's voice rang out in her grand hall.
All it had taken was a view into the past and the vast appetite Diana had had as a growing young woman.
From there, Circe had a history to work with, subtly, oh so subtly, tweaking the Amazon's mind, driving gluttony to the forefront, reducing the urge to exercise, and giving her the metabolism she once had from her youth, only this time there would be no Hippolyta to goad her into running off the excess flesh she grew.
It was a long game, Circe knew, but she was immortal and had time to spare. She didn't want to risk drawing the Detective's suspicions or Zeus and Hades. So, along with Diana, Circe took a look into Batman's heart and spied the one woman that equaled Diana's place in it: Selina Kyle aka Catwoman.
A look into the thief's past revealed a remarkable episode with one Dr. Milo and a transformed Selina into a literal catwoman. Circe licked her lips at the glorious sight her scrying mirror revealed, all that tawny golden fur, the purr in Selina's voice.
She would have that again, Circe decided, taking the trace amounts of the formula that remained within Selina's bloodstream and altering it just a tad.
Now all she had to do was sit and watch as Diana started to give in to her hunger and lazing about more and more and the Detective would be torn between investigating this startling change and helping Selina Kyle.
Am I Blue finished, Circe sighing as she looked into the mirror once more at the present day, into the heavens and that orbiting eyesore called the Watchtower.
