Try a little tenderness

“That leg doesn’t look great,” you remark after a quick inspection, “I think you broke something when you hit the door jamb.”

Diana’s sardonic expression says “Gee I wonder how that could’ve happened?” better than words ever could.

“It’s already starting to swell up.” You probe the swollen knee and she flinches every so slightly. “I could try to reset it, but I’m worried I could just make things worse.”

“I am also concerned about that,” she deadpans.

“Hey, no shame for trying to make a run for it, but you knew it might not go your way. I don’t actually enjoy hurting you.” You’re not holding the lasso in that moment so you can say whatever you want. “And that knee is definitely not a turn on.”

“How awful for you,” she says in the same level tone.

“Make you a deal.” You do grab the lasso now. “I assume your Amazon metabolism could heal this in pretty short order if these dampeners were turned off?”

“Yes,” her eyes narrow as she says it.

“How long?”

“A day, maybe two,” she says cautiously.

“OK then. I will switch off the power dampeners and leave you alone to heal for a couple days. I’ll bring you food, water. Hell, ask nice and I‘ll bring you a good book and a vibrator. If…” you make eye contact, “you swear not to try and escape or anything for 48 hours. After that, I’ll switch the dampeners back on and we’re right where we are now, but with four working legs between us.”

Wonder Woman considers that for a moment.

“Oh, and the oath would also need to cover not trying to reach the SuperFriends or communicate with anyone outside this facility.”

“Actually,” she says thoughtfully, “I would like to send a message to my sister to let her know not to worry. The lasso will ensure I don’t say anything that would give us away.” You raise an eyebrow at the “us,” but she ignores it. “Agree to that stipulation and we have a deal.”

"For a naked woman imprisoned in some perv's secret underground dungeon with a broken leg, you seem to think you have some bargaining power here."

Diana raises an arched eyebrow. "And yet, you're the one offering to make a deal."
