Gunfire. Never a good sound.
Never.
The raven haired mistress stood in her normal attire being that of Diana Prince. A well suited business suit and a nice pair of shades. Her eyes glanced about as the half empty streets were beginning to fleet into little to no people as the gun fire continued. She knew where it was coming from. A few streets away, not to far at all. Although, it was taking time for the police to respond to this situation. Seems there was a robbery int he works. Well.. at least she was near by... Still. All she wanted was a nice night to relax and be...herself. Her somewhat normal self. But that was all to late as she hurried to a near by Alley way to do the usual.
She stood in place and eyed behind her, seeing no one's eyes were focused on herself, she felt safe enough to prepare. With a raise of her arms, her entire body began to float into the air. suddenly, she began to spin in a graceful sort of spin and her once put up hair was quickly let go and lengthened to that lovely Wonder Woman style. What was once her naked arms now had silver gauntlets. Soon followed, the rest of the very familiar Wonder Woman costume appeared on her body. Like it was entirely made for her.
Quickly, she landed, letting her tiara finish forming before she went to grab the lasso that rested on her side. "Time to take out the trash.." She sighed and flew out of the alley way towards the scene. Her eyes bright with passion as she was prepared to stop this foolishness.

Special Abilities
Wonder Woman's powers are drawn from the Gods of Olympus who also gave her life. Given a link to Gaea by the Goddess Demeter, Wonder Woman boasts power and strength like that of the Earth itself. Demeter's gift translates seemingly limitless physical strength and astonishing recuperative abilities. Among her superhero peers, Diana's vast strength is second only to that of Superman, allowing her to lift far in excess of 100 tons without any effort at all. She was also bequeathed the speed of Hermes and the gift of flight. She has been shown to be able to keep up with a number of DC's speedsters. And although her top flight speed is unknown, she has been able to exceed hypersonic speeds and escape velocities at the very least. During Wonder Woman Plus Jesse Quick, Wonder Woman was able to catch up with Jesse Quick even as Jesse was moving fast enough to enter the speed force. Thus, it is likely that Wonder Woman can travel faster than light. Wonder Woman is also gifted a unity with Beasts and a loving heart which have since been interpreted as metaphysical abilities. She is also virtually invulnerable, being able to withstand the heat of lava unharmed. However, she has a weaknesses to piercing weapons. She has been shown to be vulnerable to bladed weapons, such as swords and spears, and projectiles such as arrows and bullets. However, because she has speed and reflexes that are honed to perfection, she can dodge or deflect these with her bracelets.
Given divine powers by the goddesses, she is also resistant to magic attacks and is effective against her foes which use magic as their main power. Diana's healing capabilities allow her to constantly renew herself, allowing her to last longer than an average human. The goddess Artemis granted Diana a special connection with animals, able to tame them or feel empathetic towards them, even to the extent that she has been able to communicate with them on occasion. For example, in Wonder Woman Vol. 2 #197, she was told by a bluebird of a vast fire that had started. Before the Infinite Crisis, Wonder Woman was blinded, but her sight was restored by Athena, giving her a boost in her super sight. She was able to "see" the feelings of people around her, effectively giving her an astute empathy towards human emotions. Along with this, she had gained an immunity to Dr. Psycho's illusions. She has also been able to withstand the mental manipulation of Maxwell Lord. Also due to Athena's traits, she has great wisdom in which she can learn languages much faster than any other average human being . The languages in which can speak are her native language (Themyscirian), English, ancient and modern Greek, French, Russian, Hindi, Spanish, Mandarin, and Portuguese.
Being an Amazon warrior, she is a finest warrior to be born so far. She is excellent in unarmed combat. She also has learned exotic forms of combat, including the Amazons' way of combat. This gives her an advantage in all fights, as her style of fighting is not practiced outside of Themyscira, unless she is fighting someone who has the equivalent strength and durability, or someone who is stronger. She has been trained to be proficient in the use of various forms of weaponry, including the javelin, broadsword, and bow.
Woman Wonder also knows how to act rationally, diplomatically, is an accomplished strategist and tactician, and is a natural born leader. For a short time, with the writers George PĂ©rez and William Messner-Loebs, she could project herself astrally, in order to gain advice from mystical creatures. She is also able to hypnotize anybody with her lasso, but this is perhaps a default power in all Amazons as Hippolyta had used it on Diana before during War of the Worlds.

Weaknesses
While not invulnerable, she is quite durable, capable of shrugging off high powered rifle fire with some pain but no injury, and even capable of surviving a warp core explosion. She is even durable enough to survive the depths of space for a period of time before running out of breath. As noted, while her superhuman stamina affords her great resistance to blunt force trauma, her skin can be cut by weapons if they are sharp enough.
Brief History [Spoilers][/size]
Born in Themyscira on the island of Paradise Island, she was the daughter to Queen Hippolyta. When the Greek goddesses created the Amazons, all the souls of women killed by male violence were given rebirth as Amazons from the clay at the bottom of the Red Sea, save one, which stayed in Gaea's Womb for thousands of years. After their exile to Themyscira, Hippolyta found herself wishing for a child. She was instructed to mold some clay into a baby girl and Diana was blessed and granted powers of the Gods. She was given beauty and a kind heart from Aphrodite, wisdom from Athena, strength and power from Demeter, hunting instincts and communication with animals from Artemis, and speed and flight from Hermes. When she was a young woman, she spotted a 'metal bird', in reality, the plane of pilot Steve Trevor, whose co pilot had been possessed by Ares and was seeking to crash the plane into Themyscira, killing the Amazons. Diana rescued Steve, and the gods decided that there should be an emissary and Hippolyta held a contest to chose the woman who would travel from Themyscira. Hippolyta forbade Diana to compete, but she did so anyway, won easily and became the emissary to the outside world. She was given a costume based on the army patches of Diana Rockwell Trevor, who had crash landed on Themyscira decades earlier and saved the Amazons during a battle with an escaped creature from Doom's Doorway. Diana has also given up the mantle of Wonder Woman a few times to fellow Amazon Artemis, mother Hippolyta, and Donna Troy (more of that below).
Before traveling to Man's World, she was given some items. She was given the Lasso of Truth and the Sandals of Hermes, which allowed her to travel places in a snap. Her mission was to study the people living on Man's World and defeat Ares and bring peace. Upon arriving in America, she fought against injustice and met Harvard professor Dr. Julia Kapatelis and daughter Vanessa Kapatelis as well as Steve Trevor and Etta Candy who were both Air Force officers. Living with Julia and Vanessa, she swiftly learned to speak English. Diana was given her name, Wonder Woman, when Decay, one of Ares' minions attacked her, and the fight came onto the streets. A reporter coined the name based on the emblem on her chest. Discovering Ares' plan to create a nuclear holocaust, she showed him what would happen, not just to the mortals, but to the Gods who need their worship, with the Lasso of Truth. Ares, humbled, returned to his home dimension. Sorely injured Diana returned to Themyscira where the island and Amazon medicine healed her.
She returned to Boston and worked with a woman called Myndi Mayer to show that Wonder Woman was here to protect. She spent months doing interviews around the world when she met most of the Justice Leaguers. There she met Superman and was completely infatuated with him. (Diana's mother, Hippolyta, actually joined the Justice Society Of America when, in Diana's future, Hippolyta traveled back in time as Wonder Woman). With Wonder Woman's touring, she caught the attention of Cheetah who wanted to steal the Lasso of Truth off Wonder Woman. She told Wonder Woman that she found the lost Girdle of Antiope, but once Cheetah grabbed the Lasso, her true intentions were revealed.
She returned home once again and the gods were satisfied with her work. Zeus however was more than satisfied with her work, and offered to make her a goddess if she would agree to sleep with him. Diana refused and she was given the Challenge of the Gods. She was ordered to retrieve his fondest treasure. Hippolyta was not happy, but she could do nothing about it. In the deepest pits of Paradise Island, she met Diana Trevor who was the mother of Steve Trevor. Diana Trevor revealed that she had helped the Amazons of Themyscira and died during battle. Wonder Woman discovered that she was named after her and also the origin of her costume. Hippolyta found Wonder Woman however, and they embark on the quest together. Together they find Hercules, turned into stone. They bring him back to the surface. With thousands of years of punishment on his shoulders, he begged to be forgiven with what happened to him and the Amazons. The Amazons forgave, a celebration was held and the gods were happy with Diana. She returned to Man's World to continue her mission.
Once she returned, Myndi Mayer set up another interview. The Silver Swan turned up and both battled but did not defeat her. She stayed once again with Vanessa. Wonder Woman found herself thinking about Superman more and more and asked Myndi to set up a date between the two. On their date the two battled against Darkseid and freed Olympus. Afterwards, they both decided it was best to remain friends. Wonder Woman knows of Superman's dual identity and he trusts her enough. Wonder Woman is also one of the few who call him "Kal."
The gods decided it was time for a vacation (or "cosmic migration" as they like to call it), but Diana decided to go to Greece and discover the past of her ancient people. There she met Julia Kapatelis' parents, but had a strange feeling towards one of the smaller islands near Greece. It turns out that Circe lived on one of the islands and sent her minions to capture Diana and bring her to Circe. Circe revealed that she killed Hippolyta's sister, Antiope and the prophecy of Hecate. Circe was about to use a spell that would bring Diana back to her clay form, but Hermes came just in time to save her.
Wonder Woman returned to Boston to learn that Myndi Mayer had been murdered at her home. Steve London was framed for the murder, but Wonder Woman discovered that it was Skeeter Boyd who did the deed. He died trying to escape Wonder Woman by climbing over a fence and was electrocuted. She later learned that she overdosed on alcohol and cocaine before Boyd shot her.
The gods summoned Diana, Hippolyta and Menalippe to destroy the rest of Olympus, which was almost done by Darkseid. It was time for Olympus to completely rebuild itself. They were able to do what they wanted to, and they also voted if men and outsiders would be allowed to come onto their island. They voted yes, and Diana invited Julia and Vanessa to be the first guests there.
