Diana didn’t drink often. A glass of wine or a sip of a cocktail here and there. There wasn’t much point, considering what it took to get her drunk, and besides, she didn’t actually like being drunk all that much. “That must be a very lonely life to build,” she said thoughtfully, and never considered the fact that in the outside world, none of the humans (besides John Constantine) knew who she truly was. Diana had been rather frank about her parentage and existence here in this place, even before she’d learned that people would forget anything she told them, and now she saw even less reason to hide herself here. She saw less reason to hide herself out in her actual life, too, but she could not affect matters there from here. Diana simply hoped she’d remember to make changes when the time came, although since she would know Dick Grayson and Kal in her future, she supposed those changes got made.
She shook her head, because she’d been in the middle of another sip of vodka, and continued once she’d set her glass down. “Not at all. I am from Themyscira, which is the island of the Amazons. It is shrouded from outside eyes.” Technically, it was said that it was shrouded from mortals, but Diana knew in fact it was shrouded from the eyes of anyone not on the frigging island. Ask her how she knew. In any case, Natasha had asked her question, but Diana didn’t think that was the question she wanted an answer to.
“I am daughter of our Queen, Hippolyta, and Zeus, King of the Gods.” Diana said this in a somewhat surprising way, as she’d come to find out when she’d introduced herself to Thor, and they’d gotten around to this portion of the conversation. There was absolute pride in the first half of the sentence, as Diana spoke of HIppolyta, her mother who had freed the Amazons from slavery and still stood as a warrior queen, and then as she mentioned Zeus, it was as if she were commenting on a dog she’d had once.
After all, she’d never met him anyway. And then belatedly she realized that Natasha might have meant where she’d come here from, and blushed. “Prior to here, I was in New York City, circa 2008.”
