Wait to speak to a Native

Before Lara can do something rash, she once again hears the padlock open. She quickly draws her blanket up to cover her breasts, before thinking the better of it. Maybe catch her interrogator off-guard, get some answers. It worked in India... except she was brutally **** right after. Maybe not the best idea. But, she was paralysed from the waist down back then, and she wasn't here, so hopefully she could fight them off?

Then Lara remembered the body build of these women and rapidly dismissed the idea. Whatever. She'd just roll with the flow.

She was not prepared however, for the woman who walked through the door.

She was beautiful, summed up in one word. But somehow, beautiful didn't seem to do her justice.

She was no less scary than the women who'd rescued/captured her. Arguably scarier.

She easily stood above six foot, with legs that seemed to go on for ages and tight abs the rippled with her every move. Her raven hair tumbled down her back like the mane of a ferocious lion and her gunmetal-black eyes seemed to bore through Lara's soul. She had sharp, haughty, regal features, high cheekbones and a pursed lip.

But Lara eyes were drawn to one thing only. Her top... or more specifically, lack thereof. This woman was wearing nothing to cover her bountiful knockers, that were swinging hypnotically. Each was topped with a perfectly centred brown areola, like a chocolate topping on a caramel desert. Lea eyes trailed down across her unmistakable fit body.

She seemed to notice Lara checking her out and smiled. Lara blushed and looked down at her own breasts. She knew she had bountiful breasts, and although she suspected her breasts were the same size as this woman's, something about the woman made her seem so godly, so elegant so... perfect.

"Aspazomai." The woman said. Her voice was beautiful, melodic and honeyed, yet there was an addictive, harsh air of authority that it was delivered with.

But the moment the words reached Lara's brain, her heart leapt. Aspazomai! That was an Ancient Greek greeting. Lara silently thanked her younger self for paying attention during her Ancient Greek classes in university.

"Aspazomai." Lara answered back in kind. This got a reaction from the woman, whose eyebrows shot up. Suddenly, the crinkled together and she looked suspiciously at Lara.

A/N: From now on, all dialogue will be in Ancient Greek, I'll just write it in English. If another language is spoken, it will be specified.

"How do you know the Ancient tongue?" She asked harshly. Slightly alarmed by her venom, Lara took a moment to answer.

"I have studied it so."

The woman didn't appear entirely convinced.

"You come from the outside world? The world of Men?" She asked, pressing forward. Lara nodded meekly, taking note of the animosity she said 'Men' with. Did they not have males in this tribe? Ws this tribe comprised of entirely women?

A low growl emitted from the mysterious woman's throat. It was oddly raw, guttural, terrifying and... kinda hot, Lara thought dimly.

"I-I brought none with me! Even on my expedition here!" She squeaked, holding her hands up. The woman seemed to calm down slightly at this.

"What do I address you as?" She asked suddenly. Her gaze pierced into Lara's sheet-covered body.

"L-Lara. Lara Croft."

The woman frowned.

"A strange name. I am Diana." She said. Lara nodded. She seemed friendly, but prone to outburst. Perhaps slightly bipolar?

Lara felt a thousand questions build up in her exposed chest, but took a breath and held them in. It was best not to look ****.

"W-where am I?" She asked slowly. Artemisia looked slightly confused.

"Were you stranded here?" She asked. Lara shook her head.

"I came on an investigation... rumours of a Land that time forgot. I came but my vehicle was attacked." She said slowly. Artemisia nodded sympathetically.

"Indeed, you are correct. We call this land 'Isola Dimenticata' for no Man can trouble us here." Diana said softly. Lara frowned. Isola Dimenticata was Greek for the 'Forgotten Isle'. But something stirred in Lara, a mythology memory. Ancient Greek warrior women who hated men...?

"Who are you people?" She asked suddenly, her heart racing. A smile graced Diana's beautiful features.

"Ah, finally. You understand. We are the chosen of Lady Artemis, the eternal warrior-women, borne of Theymscira. We are Amazons." She said.

Amazons. That was the word. Somehow, it encompassed everything about the women Lara had met so far. Powerful, tall, perfectly built, terrifying, no-nonsense... Amazon.

"Of course." Lara breathed. Suddenly she realised something.

"Wait what are you people doing here?" She asked. Diana scowled. Evidently it was a sore topic.

"After Heracles came to steal our Queen Hippolyta's belt, he went back to Greece and regaled them men with tales of us. They came back to Theymscira in the dead of night and... **** us all. The ground was tainted with male semen, and we came here, away from the prying eyes of the outside world." Artemisia sad stiffly. Lara's eyes widened.

"It appears the outside world has found us, however." Diana said, scowling. Lara's eyes widened, realising what she meant.

"N-no! I won't tell anyone, I swear! Don't kill me!" She suddenly begged. She knew they were capable.

Diana's eyes softened, and she gently patted Lara's head. Lara's skin felt hot at the touch.

"Because you are a woman, and arrived with noble intentions, we shall give you a fair and just trial. You are young and seem adept, so you may be integrated into us Amazons, as have previous outsiders but... I want to be very honest with you... the chances of you going back to your world are very low." She said. Those words hit Lara like a slap to the face.

Diana evidently saw the dumbstruck expression on Lara' face, and smiled sadly. Before she went, she tweaked Lara's nipples with a mischievous glint in her eyes bent low to hear ear, Artemisia's hot breath trickling her lobes and whispered.

"You didn't have to look so downcast when you saw me. Your breasts are not much smaller." Before standing up and leaving a very confused Lara alone.

A/N: Thanks for reading. Smut comes soon, and I'm thinking of adding Marvel and DC characters to the story, similar to the Marvel Path of this same story. Lemme know what you think.
