Chapter 37

I still have a very interesting artifact, which I immediately checked on Artemis. She was quite surprised to hear my voice in her head. But she answered. And this is good. Now I will be able to communicate with Artemis and both of us will not be so sad from separation.

After that, the Amazons threw a "feast for the whole world." They didn't even care that their queen had somehow lost, or it was she who insisted on him. Because, seeing her drunk at the holiday, I came across such an idea.

And after ... after the lesbian orgy of the Amazons began. Apparently, give them just a reason ...

But I didn't have time to finish it. Artemis dragged me to her place and there we spent the whole night, along the way stuffing my stamina into stats and pumping the Casanova skill by one level.

Two days later I was already escorted on a long journey. Rather, they told me how to get to mainland Greece. And from there I can already apply to the US Consulate and get to my dear Gotham.

Many Amazons accompanied me, among whom were: Hippolyta, Diana, Artemis and Donna. Artemis was holding back tears. She did not cry, no, but her eyes were shining.

We said goodbye, goodbye to me Artemis, together with Diana and Donna, presented a good gladius sword. So that I train, and do not forget my skills acquired with my red-haired warrior. And sweetheart Donna also secretly stuffed a couple of scrolls into my bag so that I could read something on the road.

And after that I sailed away. Even I had a lump in my chest when I saw the receding shore of Themyscira in the distance. Who would have thought that I would miss the place where I was almost killed?

My voyage took a little over a day.

Towards noon the next day, I stumbled upon, or to be more precise, a whole squadron of NATO warships stumbled upon me. Most of them were American. And I was happy about that. I was picked up by a speedboat from my raft and taken to the flagship, where I was already warmly received, compared to the initial reception at Themyscira. I got to a couple of conversations first with Admiral Collins, the hero of several US military conflicts in different parts of this world, and then with a "psychologist" who was most likely an NSA agent or even possibly "Argus". They asked about Temiskira and my stay there. But I did not tell them everything, but only a pre-edited part of my story, without various nuances and gifts that I received there. They were in the "Inventory".

Then I was left alone, believing that I just miraculously survived after all this. And there I met those whom I did not expect to meet. Old colleagues in the one hundred and thirty-second regiment. There was only one battalion of my regiment. They were on a peacekeeping mission in Syria. And now they come back. They were also happy to see me and even told some news and rumors that they were running. In general, for the next leisurely week of my trip to North America, I was provided with good company.

And after this week we arrived in Boston. There I tried to call the site in Gotham, but for some reason there was no connection. Deciding not to wait long, I took a bus to this city.

They paid me a trip there at public expense.

I arrived in Gotham, already in the late afternoon, and getting off the bus at the bus stop realized that something had happened.

Hearing the conversation of two passers-by, I realized that a new gang war had begun in Gotham City. And it looks like a big one. Since Batman, Batgirl, Robin and Nightwig are actively involved here at the same time. Even Green Arrow was rumored to have stopped by for a couple of days, preventing a couple of bank robberies and bandits' showdown.

- From the fire to the fire. - I sighed and trudged home.

To be honest, there was a thought to go to the station. But I didn't come in, because I wanted to ask Kira and Alice how Katherine was and, in general, to find out all the news from them. I hope they are all right.

Forty minutes later, I was already ready to knock on the door of Kira's apartment, but the voice of another nice neighbor caught up with me. It was an old woman who remembered Gordon as a young boy, when he first joined the police to work. At least this is my guess at her age.

"Isaac, they're not there! - at that moment my hand and heart stopped. - They left. We left this city forever.

Fuh! Thank God they left.

- Where to?

- And is it important? - she chuckled - But if you're interested, I'll tell you. Catherine took her sister and niece a month ago somewhere in a safer city. She, as she said, had been offered a translation for a long time. As for me this is a reasonable act. Nothing will threaten them there.

In principle, she is right. Catherine was wise. I told her before that it was dangerous for her sister and baby here. And she agreed with me. And my "death" was apparently the last straw. If you have become ... However, for now, I need to deal with other matters.

After thanking old Nancy, I went to my room.

I went into my apartment and realized that I was wildly tired. Both morally and physically. And I just need to relax. I went to my stash and poured a whiskey. And at that moment I heard the sound of broken glass in my room.

- Hour after hour is not easier ... - I grimaced, taking out from the "Inventory" the sword that the warriors presented to me. And he went to deal with the noise.
