What the hell just happened? Where is Darkseid? How come the farm is intact again? None of this is making any damn sense.[/I]
High in the sky over the Kent Farm in Smallville floated a man clad in red and blue with a red cape flowing behind him in the wind as he surveyed his area. This man was a visitor to this world, a world like his own, but yet so vastly different. Using his x-ray vision, he surveyed the Kent Farm and found it empty. Letting out a sigh, he looked around the clear sky as a look of confusion covered his face.
This isn’t right. Something is...wrong. Very very wrong. I need to find mom and dad. If anyone knows what is going on it’s going to be them. Nobody has more experience with Darkseid than they do.[/I]
Like a streak of lighting, the hero from the unknown realm was off in a blur of red and blue. Within only a matter of minutes, the caped hero was hovering over the island of Themyscira. An island that, while is off limits to men, was an island that he and his siblings spent much time growing up on.
Lowering himself down into the middle of the arena, he landed in between two Amazon warriors who were training in front of an audience of their peers. While he recognized the face of most of these women, there were some that he didn’t know at all. That unnerved him as there wasn’t a soul on the island that he didn’t know. He also wasn’t too fond of the look he was received either has he touched ground.
“Intruder on the island!”[/b][/I] One of the Amazons yelled.
Intruder?[/I]
As he tried to soak in what was going on, dozens of Amazon warriors rushed to the arena armed to the teeth with swords, shields, axes, and spears.

Deandra was home on Themyscira talking with her Grandmother about man's world. She and her Grandmother had been near the arena walking when they heard the yells from the other Amazons. Deandra and her Grandmother immediately started running to the arena. Deandra tapped into her super speed to reach the arena first. She was furious when she saw a man on the island.
"Defiler! What business do you have on our island?!" Deandra demanded of him. Her face was full of anger. She was hovering a couple inches off the ground as she glared at the man who dared to set foot on Themyscira. Deandra was in her Wonder Woman outfit that she had inherited from her mother.

So not only was he surprised by the reaction he was getting from the Amazons to him being on the island, but someone else was wearing the original Wonder Woman costume that his mother wore during her days as a hero. Whoever she was he had certainly never seen before, but there was something about her that seemed familiar. Either way, he wasn’t too pleased to someone wearing his mother’s costume.
“Watch your tone. I defile nothing,”[/b][/I] he said with a tone that showed his annoyance over the situation. “And my business is none of yours. This is my home and I come and go as I please. The real question is who you think you are to wear my mother’s outfit. You dishonor my mother and my sister by your actions and I will not stand for it. Now I wish to know what the hell is going on.”[/b][/i]
Looking around at the Amazons that surrounded him as he waited for some kind of answer, he grew frustrated when none of them spoke up. If it was a joke that was being played on him by Athena then he was not impressed. Even for his baby sister, this was way too far.
Then the unthinkable happened. One of the Amazon warriors rushed at him with her sword and shield. Blinking in disbelief as the woman swung the blade, Apollo stood there and did nothing at the blade shattered against his chest. Looking at the broken blade, he turned his blue eyes on his assailant, and felt the anger rush through him. Narrowing his eyes at the Amazon, his blue eyes quickly turned red as he used his heat vision to melt the Amazon’s shield.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?”[/b][/I] He yelled as his eyes returned to their normal blue coloration.

"Your home?" Deandra asked with narrowed eyes. "No man has ever called this place home. I wear outfit of my mother in remembrance of her life. As a honor to her life that she sacrificed so that others may live. I am the one and only child of Diana of Themyscira. You are not welcome here!" Deandra told him curling her hands into fist. She watched as her sister attacked the man only for her sword to break then her shield was melted.
Deandra flew at the man and cocked her arm back and then thrust it forward toward the side of the man's face. The punch would echo from the force of the hit if it landed. Deandra's Grandmother arrived as she was throwing the punch and was furious to see a uninvited man on her island.

Her stance. The way she moves. She’s definitely an Amazon, but there is something more. She almost seems to move like mom and Artemis, but she is certainly not my family. Maybe this is some kind of trick put on by Darkseid and not Athena.[/I]
His thoughts were racing at thousands of miles a second as he watched the woman dressed in his mother’s uniform rush at him with her fist cocked back. She was fast, as fast as his mother used to be in her prime, but she was still not as fast as he was. Then again, he only person that was faster then him was Flash.
“You are most certainly not my sister,”[/b][/I] he exclaimed as he grabbed the woman’s fist with his left hand.
The force of the blow was so great that not only did the impact cause ripples through the air but it blew everyone back nearly a dozen feet. It also caused Apollo to be pushed back several feet and a small crater to form underneath them.
Narrowing his eyes at her, he balled his right hand into a fist. “I don’t have time for your master’s tricks. You tell Darkseid that I’m coming for him and that I will make him regret everything he has done,”[/b][/I] he said coldly as he brought his fist up towards the woman’s chin.

"I never claimed to be your sister," Deandra told him. "My siblings are my fellow Amazon sisters. I have no other siblings," Deandra told him. Deandra was not going to let this man get away with trespassing on her home. The force of her blow pushed him back even though he grabbed her fist. It knocked many of her sisters back and off their feet.
He then claimed not to have time for her masters trick got her even angrier. That was followed by punch to the chin that sent her flying straight up and shook her causing to bite her check hard enough to draw blood. She was sent flying high into the sky before she stopped her momentum. She spit out the blood that was in her mouth and let out an Amazon war cry and snagged her lasso and spun it around before throwing it at the man as she raced back down to Earth. She tried tightening it as soon as she was near the ground and stopped several inches from the ground. "I have no master. I answer to my Grandmother queen of this Island and the leader of my team. Anyone else is either my equal or not but not my master. Now who are you?" she demanded of him. The lasso of truth complied anyone in it to tell the truth and Deandra tried to have it tightly around him.

As he watched her soar into the air, his attention turned back to the Amazon warriors who were trying to get to their feet. Again he was seeing faces that he recognized and didn’t recognize and it was confusing him to the point where his anger was threatening to get the best of him.
It all washed away though when he saw his grandmother appear into view. “Grandmo...,”[/b][/I] he didn’t have an opportunity to finish his word when he noticed that he was now wrapped up in the Lasso of Truth.
Looking up into the sky at the woman who was dressed in his mother’s old uniform, he set his jaw, and tried to break free of the lasso. When it didn’t break, a look of confusion crossed his face. It had seemed that the woman not only had stolen his mother’s old costume but had somehow removed the lasso from his sister’s battle axe.
“I am the son of Diana of Themyscia and Kal-El of Krypton. I am Superman. Member of the Justice League and Prince of the Amazons. Now I demand you let me go before I turn this island into a pile of smoldering ash.”[/b][/i]
He tried to break free again, but had no luck. It seemed that indeed he was tied up with the actual Lasso, which made him worry deeply about his sister Artemis.

Deandra face turned from anger to shock. The amazons started to talk among themselves and sending glances at Superman. "Would you really burn Themyscia to the ground? I mean that does not seem like a thing a Prince would do to his home," Deandra pointed out looking him straight in the eye.
"I starting to get an idea what may have happen. Are you familiar with Alternative Universes?" Deandra asked him. Deandra had almost no first hand experience with Alternative Universes herself but she remembered hearing her mother talk about them briefly and she remembered that Rain had explained several of the X-men had come from Alternative Universes. The most memorable for Deandra was T.J. Nightcrawler's daughter from Scarlet Witch. She looked exactly like her father and they even acted like father and daughter so it came as a shock when Kurt said he never actually had kids. Rain tried to clear things up by telling Deandra about Alternative Universes. It seemed that Alternative Universes where at causing headaches for people. With a flick of her wrist the lasso released Superman and she coiled the lasso and placed it back on her hip.

“This is not Themyscira,”[/b][/I] he retorted. “This is just another of Darkseid’s tricks and I’ve had enough of them.”[/b][/I]
His eyes began to turn red as the anger swelled up inside him. He was not one to be trifled with and soon Darkseid was going to regret everything he had done to him. Then his eyes returned to their normal hue when the woman in the costume asked him if he had heard of alternate universes. It was then that it all struck him. During his battle with Darkseid they must of knocked each other into other universes. It was the only logical conclusion, that and according to the woman’s heartbeat she wasn’t lying either. If this was an alternate universe then it left him with two questions. If he had ended up here, where did Darkseid end up and how could he get home?
When the Lasso had been removed from him, he looked at the Amazon, and nodded. “Yes I have. My parents had dealt with them before. I have never dealt with them before until now it seems. At least it explains everything that is going on,”[/b][/I] he said as he looked around at the Amazons. “I’m sorry for my actions.”[/b][/i]
