Supergirl Invictus - A Resurrection Comedy - Chapter 6 : The Revenge of Prince Charming (U.S.A.F.)

Strangely she wasn't anxious to see what had become of her hometown...things were so different now.

But she had to go, Fred and Edna Danvers were her foster parents after all.

Kara bit her lower lip she hoped they were all right....

Soon the Maid of Might was over the U.S. Capitol, everything looked moderately peaceful.

"No rampaging robots or flying saucers battering the White House...guess my work here is done" reflected the heroine.

Supergirl made an elegant barrel roll and flew off towards the Pentagon...all quiet there.

Except there was one lone figure up on the outermost roof he or she was precipitously close to the edge of the building.

That lone figure looked forlorn and fretful in the gathering twilight.

Kara's feminine intuition told her something was up.

She dove down silently towards what her super vision told her was a handsome man in an

Air Force Officer's uniform.

Sure enough he took that fatal step and plunged towards the ground.

"Great Krypton it's a suicide!" cried Supergirl who swooped down at high speed and plucked the man out of mid air.

He was drop-dead handsome...blonde hair the profile of a John Barrymore-a little too old for a teenaged Supergirl though.

"Good Grief! You are Steve Trevor!!!" said Kara.

"Just let me drop..." muttered the pilot and famous consort of the incomparable Wonder

Woman.

Supergirl set her cargo down and put on a solicitous look.

"Steve, did Wonder Woman turn you down again??"

"No...I haven't heard from her in years...she has run off to New York and some publisher has got her claws into her...writing self help books!"

Supergirl's adorable mouth formed an "O" of raw surprise.

"Steve I don't believe it, Wonder Woman loves you...!"

"Not any more I'm out of continuity she says...I-I'm a dead man"

"Oh yeah? Well I've been dead before!" resolved Supergirl "C'mon Steve, we are going to

New York-Wonder Woman owes you a face to face explanation!"

With no further ado, Supergirl wraps the astonished pilot in her indestructible cape and flies off to Fun City USA!

"And after you do Oprah...then we'll fly off to England for a MAJOR book tour-Every Woman an Amazon will be huge best seller over there" Jeanette beamed at her charge.

"Fine..." droned her friend.

"Oh and Marvin had a super-duper idea - how about this...THE AMAZON COOK BOOK!?"

Jeanette looked at her friend expectantly.

"Yeah whatever..." Diana was listless staring moodily into the huge make up mirror that dominated her "friend" Jeanette's apartment.

"Cook books sell well y'know" offered the publisher.

"If you say so..." said the woman.

"Ohhh are we tired?" wheedled the publisher "I'm going to run downstairs for some sushi, you put your face on and after dinner we'll head over to the studio for the taping-ta-ta dearie! Isn't this the LIFE!?"

"Yeah sure is" sighed Wonder Woman.

Jeanette flounced out the door.

Diana stared at her reflection for five whole minutes silently.

"You used to be a real heroine you know..."

"Young girls used to look up to you...now they send you e-mail asking if your are all right!"

"Dr. Cyber....Pulsar Stargrave...Darkseid...oh and some lout named Ares..."

"They all feared and hated you!"

"Oh and the Justice League remember them....?"

"They never did book tours!"

"Yup, You used to be tops Diana, it was you Supergirl and Batgirl, tight little sorority for awhile there..."

"Yeah but Supergirl's dead...an-and I used to be in LOVE!!!"

Wonder Woman buried her head in her hands and sobbed loudly.... that Fifth Avenue Quack had proscribed Prozac for these mood swings...but that pill pusher didn't understand what was really wrong.

Nobody did.

Diana was alone...it wasn't supposed to be like this.

A sorority of one is no damn fun!!

THAT is what was wrong.

A gentle hand fell on the Amazon's shoulder...a very familiar...masculine hand.

Teary eyed Wonder Woman looked up into the mirror ....it was him.

Those eyes, that thick blonde hair, ....that bed room smile.

Her Prince, Her consort ...her one and only.

It had to be a hallucination.... but it was a wraith with that devilish grin.

The Amazon's lower lip quivered...

Wonder Woman bolted out of her chair and slammed into Major Trevor bowling him over and onto a couch.

"Angel!" he groaned.

"Steve, Steve baby darling love of my life don't go, by Olympus I'll break Lord Hades' jaw if it means keeping you here!!"

Wonder Woman was now on the Pilot's lap and was frantically nuzzling his neck and pouring kisses on his lips and face.

"N-no mwah A-angel mwah! It's me for real!" gasped Trevor.

"Praise Hestia!" groaned the love struck Amazon.

"Angel?" queried the Pilot "Why didn't you ever answer my calls?"

Here a look of black terror crossed the Amazon's lovely face...

"THEY LIED TO ME THEY SAID YOU WERE MARRIED TO ETTA CANDY ... AND, AND YOU WERE TOO OLD-I GOT MAD....!!!!"

"Aw Angel" forgave Trevor who was rewarded with kisses on his exposed chest as Diana had unbuttoned his shirt during her angry tirade.

"Oh it gets worse they told me my books would surely bring peace to the Man's World-I've been on tour for three years THREE YEARS has the violence abated one iota?" raged the Amazon.

"Uh No!" opined Trevor.

"DAMN STRAIGHT! The Man's World is ruled by setting a good example chiefly by kicking evil's backside! I've been remiss in that!!" resolved the Amazon.

By now Diana was massaging Steve's chest and exchanging hot soul kisses with her sweet patootie.

"Angel beautiful angel" sighed Trevor.

"OH OH OH and have you seen my comic??!! They CUT my hair!

My beautiful long dark hair! I LOOKED LIKE A BOY!" sobbed the Amazon.

"There there beautiful I won't let a pair of shears near you" Steve punctuated this promise by kissing Wonder Woman in the special spot below her ear.

Diana whimpered unashamedly.

"My prince...my love" she breathed.

Hey you two-get a room!" laughed Supergirl who was drinking in this happy reunion with laughing eyes.

"Kara!" yelled Wonder Woman with glee.

"She brought me down here...as smooth a ride as your invisible plane Angel" offered

Trevor.

Diana bolted off Trevor and planted a sisterly kiss on Supergirl's forehead.

"I owe you" she promised.

"Aw Diana us girls have to stick together" blushed the Maid of Might.

Diana turned back to her disheveled consort Steve "We need a um...y'know" she an imploring look at Supergirl who smiled hugely.

"A room!" said Steve firmly "Don't worry I'll book us the best suite at the Ritz on my cell-phone".

"Cell phone?" said Wonder Woman.

"Times change Angel" replied the pilot.

Steve got off the couch and began dickering with the booking clerk across town-he ducked into the next room.

Wonder Woman had a look of sheer ecstasy "I'm going to the Ritz!" she exulted.

"No don't wear poor Steve out Diana just because you haven't seen him in a while..."

"Ka-ra puh-lease!" Diana actually blushed.

Nonetheless she raised a hand to her tiara in a very regal gesture and summoned her famous invisible jet.

"All set Angel...room service is chilling the champagne!" called Steve from the other room.

"Champagne?" grinned Kara.

"Oh you'll understand better when you are older...and if you don't come see me, Your Aunt

Diana will explain it all" said The Amazon.

Diana turned and walked towards the window "Sweetie we have to team up someday soon!"

"Everyone keeps saying that to me" said Supergirl-"Hey what do I tell Jeanette when she gets back?"

Wonder Woman wrapped an arm around Steve Trevor's shoulder; outside a high-pitched whine was all that betrayed the presence of the invisible jet.

"Oh Hera...tell her I'm pregnant with twins and I've gone on maternity leave!"

With no more ado Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor jetted off into the Manhattan sunset.

The door of the apartment opened in sashayed Jeanette followed by Marvin her toady loaded down with sushi.

She took one look at Supergirl and was aghast "Wh-what what are YOU doing here??" croaked the publisher.

"Times change" said Supergirl.

"Where is Wonder Woman?" peeped Marvin.

"Didn't she tell you? She's pregnant with twins and either Superman, Batman, or Aquaman may be the father??"

Jeanette fell to the ground in a daze..."No! No-my bay-beee!" she groaned.

Supergirl swept down on Marvin she gave him her most ferocious look.

She drew up nose to nose with the aging courtier and said, "Only once, where is Superman??"

Marv looked stricken "M-m-metropolis! w-w-with Lois Lane look there DON'T KILL ME-EE-EE WAAAH!!"

"Another time Marv....I'm not done with you yet" Supergirl turned and leaped out the window on a fast course to Metropolis.

"Crisis on Infinite Earths my lithesome Kryptonian backside!" she gritted into the wind.
