Absolute Wonder Woman #21

 

After Zatanna Zatara weakened Diana, Giovanni Zatara attacked her. With Veronica Cale's attack squad wreaking havoc in Gateway City, Barbara Minerva watched the woman she idolized flee. After regaining a measure of strength at the Hieron, Diana returned to the fighting. Still, the Amazon she admired couldn't prevent Giganta from capturing her. 

Even if she fled the fighting once, Barbara believed that Diana would rescue her from Cale's clutches. But as she lay on a torture table, Veronica Cale tells Barbara that Diana escaped from Area 41 without rescuing her. Again. How will the woman who celebrated Diana's return to her world with a museum exhibit react to Cale's announcement? And bound in the Underworld by her deal with Hades, what can Diana do to aid Barbara?
