| Infiltrating Themyscira to save a resistance member is a disaster. But it leads to unexpected consequences when the Queen captures you.

Sneaking around New Themyscira is a feat you didn’t think you’d ever experience but, lo and behold, here you were.
The island was beautiful in a way that reminded you of what used to be. It’s battle torn, but the skies are still bright blue and the air’s still unnaturally fresh and fizzling with magic.
Even if it’s not the same as you're sure it’d be on the original “Paradise Island”, the residual effect of the Amazon’s whimsy sticks to the place like it was fated to be. Like their magic lays as much claim over this part of what used to be Europe as they do.
It’s a drastic contrast to the wreckage all around you all.
“Alright crew, we meet back at the ship by dusk. This is an evidence gathering retreat and extraction mission so stay out of sight and do not engage.” Steve’s command stays quiet through coms even as he shifts to giving out individual instructions next. His voice a steady balm that you lock onto to distract you enough you don’t have to keep biting back your grin.
─────
It’s hours before anything worthwhile than ducking and hiding takes place.
Initially Steve’s group was primarily tasked with direct extraction of Lois Lane from behind enemy lines but you had run into her, and a small number of other survivors hiding in the nature reclaimed remains of what used to be London, first.
Your branch-off specifically is just meant to be gathering enough tangible evidence that the Amazon’s are taking human hostages to finally push the last remaining world leader to actually let Steve’s task force move in to save them.
Years ago you’d thought politics was hard to navigate. Now it was a literal minefield, one wrong move and someone would take off your head.
You’re hoping at the very least your wrong move doesn’t happen here.
The Amazons were brutal. What little clear footage that still remained showed their killing prowess off well. They didn’t level cities the way the Atlanteans did, but at the beginning of all this they’d conquered their way across the Mediterranean in less than a week and no one had even noticed.
The Atlanteans were too loud, even put up against the Amazons brutality and true disdain for humanity. Especially men. Atlantis had taken over the European Coast with brute force and luck that their extremely obvious assault couldn’t be stopped by any human forces.
If the human world had been anywhere near as technologically advanced and superhuman you’re sure that Atlantis would’ve fallen that day. King Arthur had put all of his forces, after the Amazon’s had near silently ran them off, into conquering Europe’s waters but he’d made a gamble in doing so.
The Amazon’s didn’t gamble.
Call it years of godly military practice coming into play or whatever but the Amazon’s were a strategic power house. They blew through everything they wanted to as if it was parchment paper in a way that the Atlanteans and their ‘throw everything at it until it sticks’ strategy could never.
The Queen didn’t take whatever she wanted, the rumored start of the war in the first place, because she was careless.
“Pilgrim to Mayflower, we’ve been caught in an ambush—”
Your radio crackles to life on your hip. You turn to your team leader but she only shakes her head. She gestures for you all to get closer together. She’s following protocol, if you have to leave team ‘Pilgrim’ behind you have to wait in silence five minutes before doing so, but if you get a response in that period you have to call in for backup.
Beside you Lois’s quiet as she stares at the radio in Boston’s hand, lip between her teeth.
The following crackle three and a half minutes in makes you all jump.
“—it’s The Queen. The Queen’s with them!”
This time it’s not Steve’s voice but a woman from his group. The air rushes from your lungs.
Queen Diana of Themyscira wasn’t careless.
Something presses down on the receiver and the sounds of screaming and gunfire reach your ears. Right behind it cheers of triumph follow.
All distinctly feminine sounding.
The Queen took what she wanted without hesitation because she was self assured in her prowess.
“Dammit to hell,” Boston curses.
Your heart feels tight all of a sudden.
The Queen.
The same one who started a whole world war because she didn’t bow down to such pitiful quirks as apologizing. The Queen who allegedly wore the crown of the woman she killed as a trophy.
When that exact crown, Atlantean in nature, crests over a row of rubble from toppled buildings towards you the sight of that golden headrest becomes an omen.
The Amazon’s are ruthless when they reach you. There’s barely a triumphant yell afterwards the fight was so close to already won once it started. In fact it’d probably be an insult to the Goddess Artemis herself to call it a fight at all.
A mild squabble maybe.
Like a kitten might give a gangly boy throwing her into a box to slowly meet its death. Or the inevitable but hopeless life of a fly when around a flytrap.
The Amazon’s had gained on you too fast for women who were supposed to be on the other side of the island right now.
As you’re thrown into the middle of a circle of stern-faced Amazon’s with your team, knocking right into Steve and his remaining crew, you start to feel a lot like a fly trapped because of its need to further inspect a predator so unequivocally greater than itself.
Your eyes prickle and your breath squeezes past your throat, but as you watch the towering few women around you your heart thuds not with fear but revelation.
In person the Amazon’s were every bit as terrifying as the stories and mission reports made them out to be, then some. Their armor was chinked and dusted with the brutal effects of war and yet they still seemed to glow brighter than the overcast sun as they set their ire upon you.
It was a lesson in skill to be present for the way they fought up close. Every strike and simple step was so clearly packed full with power and yet they moved as one graceful unit, where one woman leaned right two more would work to balance back out the open circle till closed again like feathers in the wind.
They were seamless even as they taunted Steve, held in The Queen’s lasso as he was. The center of everyone’s attention.
Something shamefully akin to envy prods at you incessantly. You do your best to ignore it.
Your fists clench and unclench at your side as you watch the warriors playing with their food. Lois looks like she can’t decide whether to throw up or throw something. For the sake of all your lives you pray she only vomits.
“You’re all Americans,” Queen Diana points out before tightening her hold on the lasso. Steve is forced to rise up on his knees at the movement, hands going to his throat in a fruitless effort to pry off the rope choking him. “But you’re going to tell me a little more about yourself. Who are you and what is your group’s goal?”
For a few seconds you all watch as Steve just…doesn’t answer. Your eyes narrow. Maybe the rumors about The Queen’s lasso were actually just rumors this time around, you’re pretty sure a gift from the gods isn’t supposed to have user defects.
The other Amazon’s seem to think the same thing as five of them huddle closer to their leader and soft murmurs travel around you from the ones that remain vigil.
“He’s resisting the lasso of truth! How is that possible Queen Diana?”
The Queen looks offended, jaw tightening.
“It’s not,” she says before wrapping more of the lasso around her hand and pulling Steve up so they’re face to face, his toes dragging in the dirt. “Who are you and what are you and your people doing in New Themyscira?”
You all gasp. Off to the side Boston starts to struggle, cursing up a storm as Steve truly goes red in the face. You can’t not watch her a bit impassioned, you know what’ll happen next. One Amazon, red haired and incredibly angry looking, kicks her in the face so hard that by the time her body falls to the dirt you can all tell she’s dead. Face crunched to all hell as her lifeless body faces you.
You shiver and look away.
“This is an outrage,” Lois murmurs.
You don’t argue in any direction with her, just turn back to The Queen.
“Thank you for shutting her up, Artemis. Now back to you, I believe I asked you a question.”
Steve can barely put up a token protest, still actively choking, before he starts to spill everything.
“My name is Colonel Steve Trevor of the United States Special Forces. Me and my team, the second of which was headed by the woman you just killed, Colonel Boston Knight, were tasked with gathering information about your base and with the retrieval of Lois Lane.”
The Queen’s brows furrow, “Who is this Lois Lane?”
You close your eyes. You can feel the very woman stiffen where she’s crouched next to you. Your next breath in feels too much like a hiccup.
“Lois Lane is a Politzer prize winning journalist who has been embedded in New Themyscira to gather intel on your Amazons for Cyborg. She’s…she’s also one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever met.”
Steve struggles, doing his best to clamp down on his jaw before some invisible force pries it back open and one of his trembling hands flick out to point. “And she’s over there.”
All eyes seem to shift to the woman no less than a foot away from you.
The Queen looks over at her with a haughty air as she takes in the new information.
“‘Most beautiful’ until me, that is,” she states while lowering him.
You're mesmerized as the glow of the lasso fades while she dismisses you all once again. The Queen’s attention quickly shifts to a blonde Amazon who nods and begins speaking immediately.
“Our information was correct, then, My Queen. Cyborg is amassing the outside world’s superhumans in an attempt to interfere in our war.”
“And he will fail,” her voice echoes across their foggy battlefield with surety. Wonder Woman scowls. “Now seize the Lane woman and take her back to our sanctum.”
“Yes, My Queen,” the blonde speaks up again as all the others quickly nod their assent.
Lois puts up a huge struggle, kicking out at a woman and briefly causing her to stumble before three more are on her. It takes a couple seconds before she stops, limbs twisted every which way as she’s held before the Queen’s unforgiving gaze.
She looks distinctly unimpressed as she and Lois stare down one another. The reporter definitely lived up to her reputation at least. Unfortunately so did Queen Diana.
“Go. I will deal with her later.”
They take Lois away and all you can do is watch.
The Queen glances over all of you again as the blonde waves the women off and then turns to Queen Diana with a wave in Steve’s direction.
“May I deal with this prisoner for you?”
She takes barely a second to decide.
“No, Persephone. The Queen of the Amazons is a servant to her people,” she rises then, taking Steve up with her and letting him dangle from the ropes. His gagging makes you curl in on yourself, “nothing is beneath her,” Queen Diana finishes as Steve takes his final struggling breaths.
The blood vessels on his face pop at the relentless pressure put on them as The Queen stares on impassively. The remaining Amazons cheer and the woman seems to bask in their praise.
“You must remember that this is a win for all of us!” Her exclamation is met with more cheers as she dangles Steve’s lifeless body through the air like a marionette.
“May the gods continue to look down favorably upon the daughters of Themyscira!” That cheer, from a dark skinned Amazon with snowy white hair, gets even Queen Diana calling out in excitement.
Their voices thunder around you all and in all your years both as black and as a woman you have never been made to feel so small as you do till now.
Like this, however, that feeling of absolute insignificance was damningly heady.
In the very next moment The Queen’s sharp gaze seems to snap to you and the skant air you’ve managed to gain seems to flee from your lungs in terror.
“Exactly sisters! And for that the fates of the spoils of our hunt today shall be decided by you!” She bows in mid air. “A gift from your ever faithful Queen.”
Seems the celebration won’t be stopping anytime soon then. You glance around at your teammates and see matching fear welling in their eyes.
Some of the people the Amazons choose are killed instantly and with gusto, others tossed between two of them like nothing as they’re tortured, some are even dragged away for who knows what, but you?
You’re left untouched.
Shaking you watch as everyone is picked off one by one around you and how in the rush The Queen's gaze still manages to stay locked on your form.
You’re watching her back with wide, nearly star struck eyes when she finally starts towards you. Your blood goes cold as she descends, carelessly dropping Steve in the process, before that damned lasso gets thrown around your body.
“Now you see that is a face of admiration!” She hoists you up into the air and your stomach drops. “Now tell me your truth, little human.”
“You’re…ethereal,” comes tumbling past your lips before you can hope to stop it.
The woman looks back at you in mild surprise before her laughter fills your ears.
“Of course I am.” She shifts you in her grip while motioning for the Amazons to move, hovering with you above them as they march back to their sanctuary.
You wonder if its location was one of the things Lois was going to share with you.
You were willing to bet it was too late to find out now.
─────
When you get back to the Queen’s new castle you feel like where they were hiding when they weren’t fighting should’ve been pretty obvious.
It was literally the former royal palace.
You walk in and can tell instantly that while some form of a fight must have occurred within the walls, the palace itself looked in otherwise perfect shape.
While most of the other Amazons that came with you disperse, some stay to debrief the Queen as she takes you along to the throne room.
At the entrance you’re met with a set of Amazons. Swiftly, they bow to their leader before opening the doors for her.
As you get a look inside your brows raise.
The throne that sits at the end of the velvet walkway is singular, first of all, and a lot bigger and more ornate than anything the British could’ve ever scrounged up. It makes even you impressed.
Queen Diana sits in it with all the air of a woman who knows without a moment of uncertainty that little can harm her.
In the following seconds she moves you to join her too, and you flush hard enough for a slight red hue to tint the deep brown of your cheeks.
The binding along your arms and midsection is so strong that you don’t even bother attempting to wiggle loose as you’re made to sit on the Amazon’s lap.
She’s completely self assured as she discusses her next steps with her council, and it makes you feel hopeless the way they blow off the US’s push back efforts as nothing. Easily solvable.
And all while you’re sitting on her lap like a trophy.
Eventually she dismisses everyone but the guards at the door and you're as alone as you’ll get.
You swallow thickly, glancing up at her through your lashes.
It’s a last ditch attempt but you try it anyway.
“If you kill me it’ll be all the US needs to join the war and deploy their forces.”
She looks down at you with a subtle raise of a brow.
“It’s adorable that you think you can scare me,” The Queen says. “Your government is so pathetic they jump at their own shadow. What threat could they ever possibly be to me when they can barely handle the problems within their own borders?”
She laughs, a boisterous sound that you feel just as much as you hear, and you’re unintentionally shaken in her hold. You knew it was a long shot but damn. She didn’t just shoot your idea down, she busted a fucking gut at it. You pout.
Yeah, you were screwed.
The Queen looked fucking unreal when she laughed though; you were a little winded.
NOTES: Hope you enjoyed!!! I love dark!WW, and she was too good looking in the Flash Point animation style; fourteen year old me literally couldn’t handle it.
Also— boy, has this one been in the works for a hot ass minute, but at least now it’s finally out.
In general, though, I’m trying to get out fics with more of The Trinity as a focus that aren’t just Batman fics. So yeah.
btw: if you’d like to leave a comment I’d very much appreciate it!

This was sooo good! I love the idea of Queen Diana just, carrying Y/N back to the palace while she's still tied up! Just, tucked under her arm

In general, though, I’m trying to get out fics with more of The Trinity as a focus that aren’t just Batman fics. So yeah.
btw: if you’d like to leave a comment I’d very much appreciate it!
