All the women in the village were looking at the trio. Lavinia took point with her eyes pointing straight at her feet. What was she to tell them? Their ancient code broken out of fear? Two men who had no right to be on Themyscira would have to be taught a lifetime of lessons in short time span? There was no knowing when Uxas would even strike next, or if he would strike again at all. Though her heart told her otherwise. Uxas was amassing an army to strike down their fair island, and there was only so long he would wait to exact his plan.

The women of the village noticed the three of them and began congregating around the outsiders and their escort.

"Lavinia," a woman called from the crowd. "What did they say?"

"These two are to be…" Lavinia couldn't find herself to say it. She bit her lip and resumed looking at the dirt beneath her feet.

"We are to be trained by the women of this island." Ollie said this with a bit more command than he had meant to, but it had come out all the same.

The women gasped in shock. This was unheard of. There was no precedent for keeping a man on the island, let alone instructing them.

"There's no way they could have agreed on such a thing," one of the women called out. "Have they forgotten everything?"

Lavinia sighed and proceeded to explain. "The Council is more fearful of Uxas's attack than they are of breaking code."

"Even when that code is from Diana herself?"

Roy took a step towards the group. "The decision's been made, and we're all going to have to live with it." Ollie and Lavinia looked at the boy's newfound courage with a combination of pride and remorse as he'd most likely be dead soon. "Me and Mr. Queen would like to be off this island just as much as you want us away." He thought for a second. "Maybe a little less than you'd like us to leave, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that a madman wishes to destroy your people, and we'd like to help… You. We'd like to help you stop it from happening." He took a pause for effect. "I was once told not to look a gift horse in the mouth. I still don't know what it means, but I think it applies to this situation."

There was a pause as the villagers stared at the bold youth before them. No one quite knew how to take it. Despite his grammatical and syntax errors, he was right. A helping hand was a helping hand, even if it came from a leper. After a short time had passed, a rustle came from the middle of the crowd and moved its way towards the pocket where Lavinia, Ollie, and Roy stood. The source finally showed herself. She was about mid height with short blonde hair. She wore a leather outfit with a large green cloak and hood.

"I will train the men." Blunt, but effective.

Lavinia stepped toward the girl. "Are you sure about this?" she whispered to the woman.

"Well, no one else will, and someone has to. Besides, would you trust them with anyone else?"

"I wish I didn't have to." Lavinia walked back to the boys and put a hand on each of their shoulders. "We have found you a master."

"Yea, I heard blondie over there when she announced it to the whole world," replied Roy.

Ollie smacked him on the back of his head and turned towards the generous woman. "We are grateful of your hospitality and look forward to learning everything you have to offer."

The other women started to walk away, most toward The Temple.

"So who's Wonder Woman here?" Roy asked.

"My name is Cicenia, and I'd prefer if you didn't call me such ridiculous nicknames."

She began to walk away when Roy decided to open his mouth again. "Ridiculous? I thought it was awesome."

Of course the last half of that sentence didn't come out because Cicenia turned back around and whacked him on the head. A very hard whack. After that she turned around and walked back into the village.

Lavinia looked at her sister and then at the two men. "May I hit the young one?"

Immediately, but with a sense of calm collection, Ollie said "Go right ahead."

Roy stopped rubbing his head and looked back at his former employer. "What?" And was then promptly slapped by the raven haired woman they had been escorted by. "OW! Why is everyone hitting me?"

"Well I hit you because you were rude, Cicenia hit you for being insubordinate, and Lavinia hit you because she had been wanting to do that all day," Ollie replied. He looked at the Amazon closest to him. "Am I right?"

Lavinia just smiled at the man. "Come. The sooner we get you boys ready-" She began to follow Cicenia. "The less we'll have to deal with your incompetence."

Ollie patted Roy on the back. "You heard her. Let's go." And with that, Ollie himself trailed the two Amazons.

Roy stood for a second not knowing how to take the last ten minutes. "I had to give a rousing speech, didn't I?" He shook his head and jogged to catch up to the rest of the group.
