Wonder Woman easily jumped over rubble. Behind her she could hear Steve panting to keep up, even though she was going slower for him. Then again, he had to scramble over what she cleared easily. She almost wished he wasn't so determined to keep up with her. At first she thought it was cute that he thought she was a weak woman of his world. Right now it was not helping.
Diana skidded to a stop in front of a robot. The robot hesitated for a brief moment, calculating this new thing that had come between it and it's victim. Diana didn't give it any time. She leapt and climbed onto his head. An energy beam fried the bottom of one of her boots. Diana cried out in rage as she found purchase under a panel and tore. She heard in the background Steve helping the victim to safety.
At least he wasn't going to get in the way. Diana reached in a grabbed whatever she could fine and pulled. The robot suffered the same fate as it's kin. Despite another arriving upon it's death. A metal arm gripped Diana around her waist and lifted. The Amazon grunted. Sh heard the robot power up to shot a laser but a series of sharp pops ended it.
"
Thank me later." Steve groused as the now dead robot dropped Diana, with a little muscle.
"
Very well." Diana said as she cast a critical eye over the street. It was far easier to battle these with a sword. But her own sword was useless, and no one in this world used swords anymore. And guns were all but useless to her.
Diana turned as another two robots dropped to the ground, reached out and ripped a street sign out of the ground with a mighty battle cry. Both robots moved forwards as one. Her makeshift weapon struck one on the side, causing the pole to crumple. But not before it impacted the other robot. One on the ground Diana easily put them both down.
"
And you may apologize to me later." Diana said as she stood up amongst the robotic carnage.
There was a second of silence then Steve asked, "
What for?"
"
For believing me incapable just because I'm a woman." Diana was pleased to see a shocked look cross his face.
“Protect Unit: Brainiac Prime!” The robots circling above cried. A new larger and quite possible more powerful robot shaped like a skull appeared high above. So this was what controlled all the others. That meant it needed to die.
"
Come. We have more people to save and a monster to kill." Diana said before he could say anything more. Behind her Steve cursed something about it being suicide to fight a giant robotic head thing. Diana allowed herself a smile but didn't deviate from her course. Though she did think that Steve should have mentioned the tentacles. That was... unique.
The robotic "Brainiac Prime" was moving faster than Steve. Diana paused a second to let him catch up. Steve looked quite unhappy when he stopped next to her.
"
We're not catching up." He pointed out.
"
No." Diana agreed slowly. Steve caught on quickly. Even if he didn't like it.
"
D." Steve caught her arm as she turned to run off. "
About earlier. What you said. Well," Steve hesitated. "
I thought about it, and you're right. I did think you were incapable."
Diana smiled. "
If this is later, than thank you for saving me." She grabbed his head and pulled in him for a kiss. Steve tensed until he realized just what she was doing. Then she released him.
"
Don't die before I get back." Diana told him. She pointed out a couple who where staggering away from a smoking car. "
Go be a hero." She told him, then she was gone. Without having to move slowly for Steve she covered ground far more quickly. She dodged and leapt rubble and cars in her path. It felt great to be able to use her full abilities and not hide.
Diana planted to her feet and came to a complete stop when she saw two men standing in more rubble. Mainly destroyed robot parts. Though there was a partially crumbled building. She recognized one from the newspaper article she had read. Had it just been that morning?
"
Superman is it?" Diana asked as she walked up to them. "
Are you with or against those Brainiac robots?"
