Chapter 2 - Bathing

-Timeskip-

Healer:
Is it true you saved his life?

Diana:
Who told you that?

Healer:
He did.

-With you-

You:
Ah.. I didn't see you come in.

Diana:
Would you say you are a... ...a typical example of your sex?

You just stand there holding yourself trying to find a good answer.

You:
I am... ...above average.

Diana:
What's that?

You:
It's a... Oh... It's a watch.

Diana:
A watch?

You:
Yeah, it's a watch. Tells time. My father gave it to me. Went through hell 'n back with him. Now it's for me and, good thing it's still ticking..

Diana:
What for?

You:
Because it tells time. When to eat, sleep, wake up, work...

Diana:
You let this little thing tell you what to do?

You:
Yeah... Can I ask you some questions? Where are we?

Diana:
Themyscira.

You:
No, I got that before, but I mean.. Where are we? What is this place? Who are you people? Why does the water do that? How come you don't know what a watch is? How can you speak English so well?

Diana:
We speak hundreds of languages. We are the bridge to a greater understanding between all men.

You:
Right.

Diana:
You know, I didn't get a chance to say this... Thank you... ...for what you did on the beach.

You:
So... ...you are here to let me go?

You begin to put back on your clothes.

Diana:
I tried, but it's not up to me. I even asked them to send me with you.. Or anyone. In Amazon.. The Amazons.

You:
The Amazons?

Diana:
It is our sacred duty to defend the world. And I wish to go.. But my mother will not allow it.

You:
Well... I can't say I blame her. The way this war's going... ...I don't wanna let anyone I care about near.

Diana:
Then why do you want to go back?

You:
I don't think "want" is the word, right? I guess I gotta try. My father told me once he said... " If you see something wrong happening in the world... "... you can either do nothing, or you can do something." And I already tried nothing.

You finish putting on your clothes and turn around to see Diana in this outfit.

You:
Nice outfit.

Diana:
Oh. Thank you. Now.. I'll show you the way off the Island... ...and you'll take me to Ares. Deal.

-Timeskip: After Diana took the 'Godkiller' Sword and Shield-

Diana shows you a wooden boat that has the TARDIS on it.

You:
I am leaving on that? We could just take the TARDIS instead.

Diana:
We are.. Yeah, we're leaving in that? Do you not know how to sail?

You:
Of course I know how to sail. Why wouldn't I know how to sail? It's just... It's been a while.

-2 Hours later-

Diana:
How long until we reach the war?

You:
The war, which part? The Western Front in France is... ...400 miles long, from the Alps to the North Sea.

Diana:
Where the fighting is the most intense then. If you take me there, I'm sure I'll find Ares.

You:
Ares as in.. the God of War?

Diana:
The God of War is our responsibility. Only an Amazon can defeat him. With this. And once I do... ...the war will end.

You:
Look. I appreciate your spirit... ...but this war is... It's a great big mess. And there's not a whole lot you and I can do about that. I mean, we can get back to London and try to look for men who can.

Diana:
I'm the man who can! Once I find and destroy Ares... ...the German armies will be freed from his influence... ...they will good men again and the world will be better.

You:
Great.

Diana:
You will see. What are you doing?

You:
I thought maybe you wanna... ...get some sleep.

Diana:
What about you? Are you not sleeping? Does the average men not sleep?

You:
Yes, we sleep. We just don't sleep with a...

Diana:
You don't sleep with women?

You:
No, I mean, I do, I sleep with... I sleep with... Yes, I do.. But out of the... ...confines of marriage. Not polite to assume, you know? It's been a very long time since I've talked about this with a woman.

Diana gives you a weird look.

Diana:
"Marriage"? And how long?

You:
927 years. You don't have that... You go before a judge... ...and you swear to love, honor and cherish each other... ...Until death do you apart.

Diana:
And do they.. love each other till death?

You:
Not very often, no.

Diana:
Then why do they do it?

You:
I have no idea.

Diana:
So you cannot sleep with me unless I marry you.. I will sleep with you if you want.

You:
I'll sleep right there.

Diana:
There is plenty of room.

You:
Then fine, if you don't mind...

Diana:
No, it's up to you. I'm just fine.

You:
Coming to sleep with you.

Diana:
Okay.

You:
You know, where I come from, I'm not considered average. Have you never met a man before? What about your father?

Diana:
I have no father. My mother sculpted me from clay... ...and I was brought to life by Zeus.

You:
Well that's neat. Sorry. Where I come from.. ...babies are made differently.

Diana:
You refer to reproductive biology.

You:
Yes, yes.

Diana:
Yeah, I know. I know all about that.

You:
I mean I refer to that and other things.

Diana:
The pleasures of the flesh.

You;
Do you know about that?

Diana:
I've read all 12 volumes of Clio's criticism on earthly pleasures.

You:
All 12 huh? Did you bring any of those with you?

Diana:
You would not enjoy them.

You:
I don't know. Maybe.

Diana:
No you wouldn't.

You:
Why not?

Diana:
They came to the conclusion that man are essential for procreation... ...but when it comes to pleasure... ...Unnecessary.

You:
No....

Diana:
Goodnight.
