Central City

How does one prepare for a trip into the past to confront a grieving god? Little as she likes it, increased weaponry seems to be an obvious choice.

So Diana mulls over the options available from Central City's merchants: testing the weight and balance of swords, fitting shields to her left forearm. How helpful any of it will be is uncertain, but she has no obvious access to god-made arms and armor here. There is no Io at her forge, putting keen edges on divine steel and designing weapons meant for Diana's own hand; no Hephaestus answers her prayers.

The third time she slices a blade through a shield the proprietor swore was nigh impenetrable, blunting the one and carving a gaping wound through the other, Diana sighs and tosses both sword and shield aside with a clatter. "There must be some usable weaponry," she demands, uncaring if any passers-by are attracted by the commotion. "These arms are hardly fit for a child's training session. They may as well be made of wood. At least then they'd be useful for building a fire."

Excelsior

The park is comfortingly familiar, though the beasts residing within it are more historical than mythological. Still, she finds the presence of previously-extinct megafauna soothing. Diana lands lightly at the park's entrance, looking for a proprietor. "I was wondering if you require payment for attendance," she tells whoever seems to be in charge. "Or if you accept donations. I'd be happy to help support your endeavors here."

Less familiar and less comforting, both, are the blackouts. Unable to fix the electrical issues, she instead focuses on helping those harmed by the lack of electricity, occasionally swooping down upon any unsuspecting would-be criminals hoping to take advantage of the dark and rolling the dice on whether they'll slip past Bruce's attention.

She helps where she can. It doesn't feel like nearly enough.
