Kate “We’ll need masks to protect ourselves.  Superwoman may be some alien from outer space who can fly, but we’re human.  And we’re targets waiting to happen as it is.”

Helena “I agree.  We need to come up with something that will inspire fear in these villains.  Something to let these people know that the party is over.”

Stephanie “I like the idea of inspiring hope.”

Helena looks at Stephanie.

Cheyenne “Let her inspire hope, Helena.  We can bring plenty of fear and pain to the rest.”

As the ladies underneath the countryside near Gotham City consider their options, the effects of the debut of this mysterious Superwoman is beginning to spread.

Smallville.

They are sisters, Linda and Karen Kent.  They know of their cousin Clara’s exploits in Metropolis at the Daily Planet.  They also know that the Superwoman can only be their cousin as well.  They watch the news.  Their adoptive mother, Ma Kent has been worried since news of the Superwoman began to spread.  Now these two sisters who had recently been made aware of their own status in the universe and how it coincides with Clara’s now sit in their bedroom and watch on the television.  They see Lois Lane being interviewed by various channels.  They see Lex Luthor, Metropolis leading businessman making a statement about the one they call Superwoman.  They look at each other.

Linda “Maybe they could call me ‘Supergirl’ since I’m younger.”

Karen “Yeah.  You go with that.  I’ll go for something more powerful sounding.”

Linda “Like what?  …Powergirl?”

Karen pauses.

Karen “…Maybe.”

The Rock of Eternity.

Somewhere, he sits.  He observes from this mystical hideaway from the rest of humanity.  He is a tired old spirit named Shazam.  He has waited for this moment.  This moment is the time.  The arrival of the Superwoman has showed as much.

Shazam “It is upon us now.  May this power and responsibility find itself to one with a soul and heart that is pure and worthy.”

This ancient wizard begins to form a ball of energy from his right hand.  He suddenly raises his right arm and from it emerges lightning that shoots up through the roof of his setting and onto Earth.

Fawcett City.

There were no calls for storms in Indiana this evening, yet here is this stray lightning strike and it finds its chosen target.  Her name is Mary Batson and her life has just changed forever.

Themiscyra.

They are called Amazons.  They look after themselves.  They are their own race.  They are an all-female species of something human, but beyond the normal comprehension.  They are ruled by their fair and just Queen, Hippolyta.  She has observed the ways of Patriarch’s World.  She feels the awareness of the spirit of Shazam finally choosing his champion.  She senses the awareness of another champion soon to be chosen.

Perhaps it is finally time.  Another sign that perhaps it is a strange fate that has come across their island of paradise.  A man….lost, stranded, clinging to life.  A man who has been taken in by Queen Hippolyta’s daughters, Diana and Donna.  It was a rarity for a man to wind upon their hidden away island.  His name is Steve Trevor.  He just wants to go home.  Hippolyta is aware of a matriarchal heroine who can perhaps balance the scale in Patriarch’s World, the one known as Superwoman.  The Queen considers that perhaps it is time to send their champion, a Wonder Woman to assist in making the world a better place.

Somewhere in Outer Space.

It is a small object that travels beyond comprehensible speed.  It is green and it is on its way to Earth to find its worthy bearer.

It is all beginning to come together.

Meanwhile, back in Gotham City, there are no champions.  There is simply a group of women who have had to grieve their losses in the hopes of combating the evil within its limits.  Superwoman can inspire hope and dignity.  Others can be inspired by it to become better people.  However, for the seven women that gathered about in this cave of bats and technology under the manor of Helena Wayne, there are designs that shall soon become reality.  That reality will be a flock with one to inspire hope with her vibrant color scheme, one to bring about the distraction of fashion and quirkiness, and five others to inspire pure fear in the most evil of hearts inside the crime ridden city of Gotham.  It will be a city of justice.

It shall start with them.  It shall start with this family brought together by grief and vengeance.
