Diana flew over miles of farmland, trying to find a good place to stay for a few days...Her apartment in New York City was beginning to bore her, and she wanted to go on vacation. She flew over Metropolis, then stopped. She tilted toward the ground, then shot down, eventually making a soft landing in front of a tall building. She assumed that it was probably a hotel...A nice one, at that. She looked into the window, trying to see if anyone was there.

Immediately, the Watchtower's security systems activated. An alert went out to everybody with a communicator, and a red light went off inside all of the rooms of the tower. The windows themselves suddenly sealed themselves with steel walls, preventing access.
John phased through the walls, taking on his green form as he did so. "You're trespassing on private property."

Diana's head started to ache...Since she had enhanced hearing, the alarm seemed incredibly loud. She was a bit startled when a man that looked like an alien came through the walls, but she then realized that she was right...There were others like her. She started to smile, but bit the inside of her cheeks to hold it back. "Sorry, I thought this was a hotel..." She said, then started to fly away. She figured that it wouldn't seem too weird, considering the guy was a martian that walked through walls. As she flew further away, she turned back. "By the way, I'm Diana. You are...?"

"By the way, I'm Diana. You are...?"
"The last person you want to fuck with." His red eyes seemed to glow just a bit as he spoke, furthering the point of his words. He truly did look alien, with his green skin, red eyes, and elongated skull. "I'll be erasing your memory of this place and of my existence now. I apologize, but we can't take any liberties."

Diana's eyes widened a bit. Erasing her memory seemed a little...Excessive. Besides, if she didn't remember meeting him, she would feel alone again. She turned into a blur as she flew away from the alien...He was definetly the last person she'd want to fuck with.

John, however, was quick, too. He matched her blur in flight, following along side of her. He had entered her mind, preparing to erase the memory of the encounter, when he realized who she was.
~~Slow down, Princess.~~ He telepathically said to her as he flew along side of her. ~~I wish to talk.~~

Diana's eyes widened. She quickly turned around and stopped. "What do you want?" She said, feeling a burst of rage and confusion. She wanted to attack him, but something told her not to. "And how do you know who I am?" She pulled back her arm, ready to punch him out of the sky, but she wouldn't let herself. Could the alien read her mind?

"All of us know who you are." A smile moved across his green lips as he hovered high in the sky. "After all, we went on a mission for your mother to take down a small army Ares was forming. Princess Diana of Themyscira, I am King J'Onn J'Onzz of Mars." A hand was extended towards her.

Diana shook J'Onn's hand. "Nice to meet you." She was a bit unsure of her past. It seemed so distant, even though she had only left Themyscira a few years before, but J'Onn seemed to bring back some of her memories. "And who do you mean by we?"

"My..compatriots and I." John nodded behind him, signaling for her to follow as he began to fly back towards the tower. "The criminal element is increasing, Diana. Ordinary law enforcement agencies can't combat some of these superpowered threats. That's where we come in."
A button was pushed on his communicator, turning the alarm off. As a result, the windows were once more opened. John landed on the balcony leading into Oliver's loft and opened the door, taking them inside. "We covertly attack those threats nobody else can take out."

Diana was relieved when John turned off the alarm. She then followed him toward the building. "So, in a way, you're a super police force?" She landed on the balcony and walked into the building. She looked around the room, and thought, So it's not a hotel. She then turned back to John. "So, how many people are in this 'army?'"

The door was closed and securely locked once again. "We're looking at six right now. We're always looking to expand our forces, though. It seems like every time we get a new member, so do the bad guys." John's green skin softened into a caucasian tone, his red eyes became normal brown ones, and his skull took a humanoid shape. Finally, short brown hair came out of his once-bald skull. He moved his neck, cracking it as he actually looked human.

Diana was a bit surprised when the alien turned into a regular human. He was pretty good-looking, in fact. "Are the people in your group mostly humans or martians?" She was definetly interested in joining...She rarely got to use her powers, and this was the perfect chance to make a change.

John stopped in the middle of cracking his neck to look at her. "Funny. There's only two aliens on our team. The rest are humans. Well, one of them's actually Atlantean, and the one of them can only be considered half-human with the mechanical adjustments."

Diana raised an eyebrow. "In other words, three and a half of the members are human." She stopped to think for a minute, and asked herself questions. If I joined, would I have to leave New York? Is there any space? Even if I do get to stay in New York, do I want to fly to Metropolis every day? She finally decided that it would all be worth it in the end. "Do you have an open spot?"
