Wonder Woman: Bound Together was an idea for a story I had a few years ago. More or less fan-fiction for my own enjoyment. I outlined it, wrote a fair amount, but there were still large sections that were left undone. I'm posting a few choice bits here, because why not. Just keep in mind: this is a bit rough, and there are some word choices that I would likely revise if I were to finish it. Even so, I'm pretty proud of it for what it is. I hope you enjoy it.
Bound Together is a Wonder Woman origin story about how she meets Steve Trevor and leaves the island, but revolves primarily around the bonds between Diana, her mentor Xanthe, and Xanthe's younger sister Cynna. The script opens cold in a flashback of Diana and Cynna being trained around the age 10:

After that, there are scenes introducing Steve, an Air Force pilot specializing in clandestine transportation of high-value diplomatic assets. While flying from the United States to a sensitive mission in Bialia, Steve's plane's engines go dead and he crashes off the shore of Themiscyra. He is rescued by Diana, brought before Hippolyta and grudgingly accepted while he can make repairs. While there, Diana and Cynna prepare to endure the rites of an Amazon Warrior. These scenes kick off the second act proper and really delve into the heart of the film's themes (that unfortunately won't really be paid off in any of the scenes I'm sharing here).

Diana, Cynna, and Xanthe accompany Steve to Man's World, where he intends to introduce them to the world stage after completing his mission. But while he has been stranded, the situation in Bialia has deteriorated and all out war looms. This last short scene is around the middle of the second act, with plenty of story (and drama) planned for the third... But it's important because it shows the altered relationship between Steve and Diana, and what I consider to be some of her unique challenges as a character, but also what makes her so special. It's important to note that Diana is now wearing the red-white-and-blue armor according to the Amazong tradition of honoring their host nation by wearing their colors. (In a later scene, she addresses the UN in a white and blue version, and theoretically would wear the colors of whatever nation she was visiting in an official capacity).

Suffice it to say: Ares is behind the conflict and our heroes come to face him, but there are several wrinkles that tie back to the Amazons, and what their bonds really are, and what they mean.
Maybe I'll lay it all out there if people want to know the full story, but I'll hold back on the details now in case I do decide to finish this and maybe release it in a more complete form. All that aside, thanks for reading. I usually don't do this sort of thing, but if you like it (or even if you don't, but want to discuss it in a reasonable and constructive way), sound off in the comments.
