Lunch Time[/b]


As usual something bad happened whenever Bekka tried to do something considered normal for humans. It was either some villain wanting to make a name for themselves or a criminal trying to prey upon the weak. She was off getting lunch at a local shop and that’s when she heard cries for help forcing her to leave the business.

With a quick command to her Mother Box the device changed her into her Wonder Woman costume in a flash of light. She drew her sword and took off into the air in search of the cause of the pleas for rescue. Her New God eyes spotted a bank robbery going on and she could hear the sounds of gunfire.

“Typical of these earthlings, always causing trouble at inconvenient times” she said to herself as she closed in on the crime scene and landed gracefully next to an police officer trying to keep the situation under control. He was startled by her sudden appearance, but was relieved to see her.

“Wonder Woman, thank goodness you’re here. They’ve taken several hostages and several of their goons started to open fire on us, but if they told us that if we try to enter the bank then they would start killing the hostages. I hope you have some rescue plan” he said to her as he wiped sweat off of his head. 

“Don’t worry I’ll see what I can do” Bekka tried to reassure him. She didn’t really have a plan, but she looked around at the building trying get a sense of what would be the best course of action.

“Mother Box, how many hostages are in the bank and how many robbers are there?” she asked her device.

“Scans show that there are six hostages and ten felons” the Mother Box replied. 

“Are the hostages all together or separated?”

“They are huddled together in one group with at four guarding them.” Bekka almost smiled at the answer, this would make it slightly easier for her and she quickly thought out a plan. 

“I’m going in, try to keep them focused on your men” she said to the officer and the man nodded understanding. Bekka made her Mother Box open up a Boom Tube inside of the bank and she lunged through with her sword held firmly in her hand. The portal had appeared right beside one of the criminals and its sudden appearance startled the man, but it wasn’t as much of a shock as Bekka suddenly lunging out of the Boom Tube and slaming her fist into the mans chest.


The force of the blow caused the bank robber to fly straight into his comrades causing them to tumble over and made a couple of them drop their weapons. Bekka moved quickly and used her sword to free the hostages from their binds. Some of them thanked, but she just ordered them to get out of there as quick as possible. The felons get back up on their feet and began firing wildly at her.

Thankfully her superhuman durability made the bullets bounce off of her skin and she went on the attack. Bekka sliced through the gun of one criminal and then proceeded to chop off the weapon hand of one of his comrade causing the man to scream in agony and fall to ground moaning clutching at the bloody stump that was his hand.

She slammed her knee into a guy’s face shattering his jaw and breaking several of his teeth. Bekka then broke another man’s leg with a strong kick to it and was in frenzy-mode while fighting her enemies. They didn’t even stand the slightest chance, her training as a warrior of New Genesis had made her one of the deadliest fighters in the galaxy. Soon the bank robbers were down and out and she was victorious.

She came out of the bank to people cheering thanks to her and few people held up signs with the words ‘you rock Wonder Woman!’ on it. Any normal person would have been flattered by the praise she was getting, but she was not. She had saved lives, but she couldn’t get what she wanted most, which was to go home to New Genesis. Bekka had to hold back tears to keep the public from seeing her look weak.

Not wanting to speak with the news media, she took off into the air and left the crowded area far behind. She decided to head to the mountains where people wouldn’t find her. Once on the top of a mountain she sat down to look at the surrounded scenery. With no one watching Bekka let her tears roll down her cheeks and buried her face in her arms.

That was one thing about being Wonder Woman and a god among mortals; no one would guess that she could be emotionally broken just like any normal human. Bekka sometimes would hear people ask where she was from and if she had friends or family. She wanted to say yes she did, but her warrior side wouldn’t allow her to open up emotionally to others. And so she only allowed her true emotions show when no one was watching.
