Forced to pick up the mantle after the disappearance of Diana, Donna has hefty shoes to fill in the world at large. Diana’s past enemies such as Circe and Ares have started to move pieces on the board, manipulating the heroine’s absence to their own ends. Donna’s investigation into Diana will inevitably lead her to the heroine’s apartments all around the world including Gateway City, Washington DC, Manhattan, Athens, Istanbul, and other locations. But investigations in her experience tend to get sidetracked quite often. That’s not even accounting the mind games and insecurities Donna has to deal with, or the superhuman criminals that want to test her patience.
It’s the making of a great journey.

I had a framework for a Wonder Woman story where Donna was missing, so I decided to do the inverse in a fresh timeline. Diana is the more experienced fighter, investigator, and heroine so throwing Wonder Girl into her role seems a little interesting to me. There’s not going to be any incredible revisions to Donna outside of the framework, so I’m hoping of seeing where that interpretation takes me as I try to have her run into as much trouble as possible.
We’re going to have some Giganta tussles, Ares and Circe doing their thing, and probably a lot of mundane techie criminal types. Maybe Intergang if Hillan feels the need to establish them as doing their usual stuff. You’ll also see me lean a little bit into Greek mythology and some of the stuff I was thinking about doing with Aquaman a few games ago, which probably just means making some things a little more obtuse and complicated than they have to be. Whereas with Aquaman my question was “What if Game of Thrones was underwater?” I’m going to draw on bits of National Treasure and other things to make my interpretation feel a little more whole and hopefully by the end of it I will look like I know what I’m doing and I haven’t forgotten most of the Wonder Woman comics I read years upon years ago.

Diana Prince.
Princess of the Amazons. Progeny of Zeus. Master Tactician of Themyscira. Ambassador Between Worlds. Member of the Justice League. Superhero.
For all of Diana’s reputable titles there was always one that stood above all else for Donna Troy: Sister. It was their connection, their relationship, the mold that truly mattered most. Everytime she fell, Diana was there, ready with an outstretched hand. With that hand absent, Donna had been left to her own devices, but it wasn’t until the weeks turned to months when worry truly settled in the former Wonder Girl’s soul. Diana was independent, but she was never so careless in the time Donna had come to know her. Had Diana gone into incredible danger she would’ve told her. That is what she believed.
But that hadn’t happened. The protector of the amazons, her mentor and sister, had disappeared without a trace.
Hippolyta didn’t give Donna much solace of mind, as was the case for every single interaction Donna had with the Queen of the Amazons since she had come to Themyscira as an infant. But unlike every other time, Donna hadn’t acted impulsive, rude, or disrespectful. The Queen was concerned, she just had a crappy way of showing it. Donna could respect that even if she didn’t like it, besides, she had bigger problems to deal with. She had to leave Themyscira and seek out Diana. Maybe by retracing her steps she could get some sort of idea of where she went? Could she find out what sort of trouble she was in? Should she contact the Justice League and seek aid? Or would this all be up to her in the end? Her burden to bear as Diana’s ward? A smattering amount of questions snaked around in Donna’s brain as she dug through her room on the eastern coast of the island. To answer any of these questions she was going to have to leave the island. She hadn’t ever done the journey alone.
“Hera.” Her voice shook, the nerves still getting to her. “Give me strength.”
There was a quivering laughter as she tightened the bracelets around her forearms. “That’s what Diana always says, right? Does it work?”
She frowned, looking outwards of a window overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. There were no signs from the gods. There hadn’t been those sort of things in centuries, not since Olympus locked itself away from the world. She wasn’t sure why she thought she would’ve seen some sort of sign.
“Right. That makes sense.”
Her hand clutched the lasso on the table by the window as she grabbed the rest of the essential items.
She had some flying to do.
