Wonder Woman: Inevitable Wonder woman's arms were tied behind her back and more rope was wrapped around her sides to keep her further immoblized. Her nemesis Fausta held her arm as she escorted her prisoner. A huge smile was on her face. "Und zo you zee, Vunder Voman, zis outcome vas....inevitable," Fausta said, then cleared her throat and continued in almost perfect, accent-free English, "Once I caught your little sister I knew that you would come to save her. Then it simply became a chess match, and you--how is it you Americans say?--were playing checkers. All that sneaking about, disabling my agents, only to give in when you found me with my Luger to her head. So here we are, the two strongest women in the world, but even though you are physically more powerful you will always be number two, Diana. Your weakness is predictability, and you are predictable because you are too soft-hearted. Perhaps I would have pulled the trigger, perhaps not. Perhaps you would have stopped me. Either way you would have at least had a chance to defeat me and you would possibly still be free. Now you are both my prisoners, and the only freedom you will experience henceforth will be the freedom that comes with submission." "What have you done with her, Fausta? If you've harmed her I'll, I'll...." Wonder Woman sputtered in anger and frustration. "You'll be a good girl and do exactly what you're told. Spare us both the useless bravado, Wonder Woman. You've been here before. You know you won't be doing anything I don't want you to. Besides, I've grown quite fond of Drusilla. She and I had some lovely experiences while we waited for you to show up. Well, lovely for me, anyway. I think she may still be in a state of shock." Wonder Woman bit her lower lip and got a little chill down her spine as she thought about the last time she was Fausta's prisoner. "Look, just...just tell me you won't hurt Dru. And you've got me now, you don't....you don't have to do those kinds of things to her." Fausta smiled as she escorted Wonder Woman through the facility. "Have you ever considered, Diana, that your sister might like 'those kinds of things' as much as you do? She's not a child, you know. You come from an island inhabited by physically perfect women who chase each other around in togas wrestling and playing bondage games. Just how innocent do you think she really is?" Diana frowned, realizing that line of discussion was going nowhere. She decided to try a new tack. "Speaking of inevitable, what's the point of all this, kidnapping us and bringing us to Germany? It doesn't matter what you do to us, you've lost the war, anyway." Fausta suddenly slammed Wonder Woman hard against the corridor wall. "Do you think me a fool, Wonder Woman?" she said angrily, her voice rising. "We kill fifteen Russians for every man we lose and yet they grow stronger every day and we grow weaker. You bomb us by day and the British by night and our cities burn. Our people endure unbearable hunger and privation. Of course the war is lost. We never had a chance with that mad, paper-hanging Bohemian corporal micro-managing everything. But I was ordered to bring you here and I have brought you here!" she sputtered. "But why does Hitler want us? What good does a propaganda victory do?" Wonder Woman asked incredulously. Fausta shook her head, "It's not Hitler who wants you, it's Himmler. To the Fuhrer you're just another pretty bauble, but the Reichsfuhrer SS is planning for doomsday. He thinks he will retreat to the Alps once the war is lost and fight a guerrilla war while he uses you, me, your sister--every Amazon--to breed an army of real supermen which he will then use to wreak vengeance upon the world. He thinks I don't know his plans, but he is wrong. The only way I could come back home without getting a bullet in the head was to bring you back with me. This achievement will buy me the latitude and time I need to plan my escape." "Escape?" Wonder Woman said. "But...mmmmf!" she started to ask when Fausta kissed her full on the lips. She found herself resisting much less vigorously than she should have. Fausta pulled away and looked at Wonder Woman for a moment. "Yes, liebchen. I'm going to Argentina, and you and your sister are coming with me." Wonder Woman looked away. "This can NOT be good. How did I ever let this crazy woman get her hands on me a second time?" she thought. "At least she's still an amazing kisser."
