Selena laughed a bit at Jack’s comment and reaction to the table full of food presented in front of the two teenagers.
“Costco? No…don’t tell anyone I told you this but some of the women here do enjoy cooking and are rather good at it” Selena said with a smile. It wasn’t something most amazons would like to confess too seeing as they were a race of warriors and cooking was often seen as a domestic thing rather than something a warrior would do. But Amazons like anyone else do have to eat this was no exception to anyone else in the world.
Selena motioned Jack to follow her and she handed him a plate before grabbing herself one in the process not realizing she was a tad hungry as well. On the table was meat, milk, cheese, grapes, fruit and vegetables even wheat. Essentially everything from the food groups that made strong warriors, Selena was raised by this diet and was happy she was able to keep it after she moved into the world of man.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Don’t worry Selena, the great secret of the Amazons is safe with me, he said with a wink as he took the plate from her.
Walking over to the table where the food sat, Jack loaded up his plate. Apple slices, orange slices, red grapes, some chicken, and bacon. With a plate full of food, and a tall glass of cold milk, Jack made his way over to one of the empty tables that were set up along the outside of the room.
As he sat there waiting for Selena, he plucked a couple rather large grapes from their stem, and grinned to himself. He had never seen grapes that large before and figured that the Amazons were good at growing things just as good as they were at cooking.
Now I know why all you Amazons are always so healthy. I can see why my grandfather had a deep appreciation for you all, Jack commented when Selena had joined him. |

“Grandfather?” Selena thought aloud for a second confusion on her face before realization came to her facial features.
“Oh the first Batman!” Selena finally concluded once she realized who Jack had been referring to. Only a few men were allowed on the shores of Themyscira and Selena doubted that Jack’s grandfather was Superman. Now that Selena really thought about it she remembered her grandmother telling her stories about her mother’s superhero conquests and one recurring partner was the Batman. It wasn’t till Selena had come to the world of man did she learn a little bit more about the relationship of Batman and Wonder Woman.
‘Ironic’ Selena thought thinking of her relationship with Jake and how easily she could have been related to not only him but Jack as well if her mother had ended up with Batman. Funny how things turned out that way.
“Well I’m glad you and your grandfather find Themyscira as a lovely as I find it to be” Selena said with a graceful smile before taking a grape herself and eating one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yup, that’s him, he said with a laugh before he tossed a grape into his mouth. Sadly I never got a chance to meet him…at least not until a couple days of go. Still think its crazy how he popped back after twenty three years, but that’s time travel for ya right?
Taking a mix of an apple slice and orange slice, Jack tossed them into his mouth, and smiled as he ate them. Looking over at Selena, his eyes looked her up and down once more in all too obvious manner than he didn’t intend to make obvious. It was obvious that Jack was attracted to the teenage Amazon Princess, hell he’d have to be blind not to be. And even then he was pretty sure he’d still be attracted to her. Sure he felt guilty about it because she was dating Jake, but there was no harm in looking.
It’s hard to not find it beautiful. The scenery, the architecture, the gorgeous Amazon Princesses, he said with a playful grin as his eyes looked into hers. It really is paradise here. |

Selena nodded thinking about her own mother, recently the Justice League the original Justice League has been popping up back here when they were supposed to be missing. That’s not to say Selena is upset that they’re suddenly found but they weren’t supposed to be in this timeline apparently and Selena had yet to meet her mother as well. That had always been something that Selena wanted to do in life, to find her mother and meet her; the original Wonder Woman. How Selena wanted to be like her and maybe even talk to her like how mother and daughters are supposed to. Not that Selena was unhappy with her grandmother but there were just things that a mother was needed for was all.
“What was your grandfather like? Is he all that the rumors say he was like?” Selena asked with a smile before taking a bit of her food keeping her eyes of Jack looking toward the scenery of the island that was given thanks to the window. This island truly was Paradise and Selena found whenever she came here it hurt more and more to leave but in the end she always did she was needed in other places not just this Island.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And then some, he said with a half laugh. My dad used to tell me how intense he used to be, but I gotta say he is a lot more intense than I ever imagined. He took me on patrol with him two nights ago and it was pretty intimidating. I saw first hand why he was so feared and so respected, Jack continued before tossing some more pieces of fruit in his mouth.
There was another side to his grandfather that Jack had seen too. He had seen in Bruce’s eyes the pride, love, and respect that he had for his dad, Dick, and Cassie. He never voiced it, but it was there behind Bruce’s eyes. And in the short time since his grandfather’s return, he saw just what everyone admired about Bruce. It was probably because of all it that when Bruce had told him that he believed that Jack had been a credit to the uniform, it had been one of the proudest moments of Jack’s life.
How about you? Any word from your mother? He inquired with a more serious look. |

Selena was interested in everything that Jack was saying about his grandfather, she heard a lot about the original Batman so it was no surprise that she wanted to meet him. He was one of the few men to gain the respect of the Amazons plus he did of course have a close relationship with her mother the first Wonder Woman. When Jack asked her if she heard from her mother, Selena looked down taking a bite of food before replying.
"I have yet to locate my mother, she hasn't been heard from yet though we are hopeful to find her soon. I would love to meet her" Selena responded a sigh in her voice. She wanted desperately to meet her mother, to live up to Diana’s legacy though she hadn’t been able to locate Diana Prince. All her spare time had gone to the search when she wasn’t with Jake though she never felt like she could tell anyone that, she felt that it was hard to explain it to them for some reason though it probably wasn’t that strange.
"But I’m glad you got to meet your grandfather, maybe you or Jake can introduce me to him someday " she told him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oh, Jack said with a rather surprised tone. Open mouth and insert foot, he muttered softly to himself as he tossed another piece of food in his mouth.
Jack felt like a total douche when Selena had told him she had still yet to meet Diana. The first thing he learned about Selena when he met her was the fact that she had never met Diana. He could only imagine how hard it had been growing up and not knowing one’s parents, or parent. He knew that Elena had gone through something similar with Bruce not being around, but she at least had Vicki.
Hey, anytime. I’m sure he’d love to meet to you, he said enthusiastically, thankful for the subject change. I’ll mention it to him and dad tonight when I get back to Gotham. I can show you around the cave too, he added with a bright smile. |

“Don’t worry I know you meant no offense, I grew up with a family even if my mother was not a part of it, one here with the Amazons and my grandmother then one with the Trevors” Selena responded with a small smile. She still considered Steve and Candi Trevor to be just as much her parents as Diana is. They gave her a home and an identity while she fought crime as Wondergirl and still treated her no different from any other child. Of course they never really grounded her or anything like that as long as Selena respected them as she always did.
When Jack mentioned the cave Selena tilted her head confused before she recalled Jake mentioning Batman referring to his home as the Batcave.
“I don’t want to impose I doubt you’re grandfather likes visitors all that often in his hide out” Selena said with a light chuckle. If Batman was exactly like Jack described him she didn’t want to get on his bad side, not that she was afraid of him but he was her mother’s friend he earned Selena’s respect by that alone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ he said with a soft laugh as he grinned. Just don’t refer to the cave as a ‘hideout’ in his presence. I’m pretty sure he might not like that one, he added with a wink. Jack had to admit that the idea of Selena going to Gotham and the two hanging out and spending time together had made him pretty happy. He knew that Jake probably wouldn’t like the idea of him spending time alone with his girlfriend, but, as bas as it sounds, Jack didn’t really care. He enjoyed Selena’s presence. He had never met a girl like her before and she was one of the few people that he would be able to talk to about his divine family members. So how about it Selena? Gonna come for a visit and hang out with the Teen Wonder? He asked her with a playful grin and pleasant tone. |

“I’ll try to remember that” Selena said with a little giggle. The idea of meeting Batman did seem pretty exciting maybe he had a idea of where Diana was currently, if not meeting a close friend of her mother’s was the next best thing. Selena had never been to Gotham city before; Jake had never really brought up the idea of inviting her to patrol with him or even spending some time together there. Though she wasn’t clueless she knew of the reputation that Gotham City’s crime had. Jack seemed pretty excited at the idea of having Selena come to visit the city, and to be honest she wasn’t completely against the thought.
“I think I will I’ve never been to Gotham before though I trust you’ll have my back seeing as I’ll be the tourist this time” Selena told Jack with a smile. The thought of seeing him again was pretty nice in her opinion. She could talk to him about Themyscira and the Gods unlike the rest of her teammates he would actually understand. Plus Jack could actually come to the island of the Amazons unlike her male team mates, Jack wasn’t forbidden from setting foot here or wouldn’t be attacked upon arrival.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Of course I’ve got your back Selena. Think I’d leave you high and dry in Gotham? That’s not how I fly, he told her with a playful smile and wink before tossing a grape in his mouth.
Though Jack certainly did enjoy the site of Selena’s back, or rather backside, he was pretty sure that wasn’t what she had in mind when she asked if he had her back. He was also pretty sure that Jake wouldn’t be too keen on his cousin watching his girlfriend’s backside either, but hey. What Jake doesn’t know can’t hurt him right?
Well, I have to say thank you very much for the food. It was great, Jack said after finishing the last of his meal. I might have to come visit her more often just for the food, he added with a whisper and a wink so that none of the other Amazons would hear him. So what’s next on this fantastical guide through Paradise Island? Do I get to dress up in a toga or something? |

“Well you don’t have to wear a toga but by now most of the Amazons will be sparring, it’s quite a sight if you’d like to see that” Selena offered, she hadn’t sparred today but so far had done it every day since her return to Paradise Island to brush up on her skills. She’d be interested to see Jack fight some of the amazons, he’d have an advantage with his powers plus she was pretty sure he had gotten martial arts training like the rest of the Batfamily men.
Selena stood up leaving her empty plate there the other Amazons would collect it later or she would come back to it. She moved away from the table toward the window balcony that offered a view of the island. Selena leaned against the small wall to get a good look of her home, she wanted to figure out where to take Jack next but there was so much to do on the island but so little time.
