The Justice League of America had met the new Legion of Doom put together by Superman's age old foe and now ex-President Luthor when the villains tried to take over one of the Cold War relic underground facilities kept by the government in the West Virginia Appalachians. It was only through the subterfuge of having Zatanna alter each of the JLA members to look like another while still keeping their original powers that gave them the edge they needed to overpower the Legion. Overpower is a bit of an overstatement, however. All they had really succeeded in doing was to prevent the Legion from taking over the facility. All of the villains escaped after the debacle, and were still at large.

Of all the JLA members, Wonder Woman in particular was worried about the new membership of Luthor's Legion. It was bad enough that one of the original Legion of Doom's members and a long time foe of hers was back, but Cheetah was not alone. The wicked witch Circe had decided to join with Luthor also, and with these two together opposing Diana and her teammates, it did not look good. The fact that a new Star Sapphire who had no connection to John Stewart as Green Lantern was alongside Circe and Cheetah gave the Legion of Doom a number of potent females who had already proved themselves more than able to take on the JLA.

An idea came to the Amazing Amazon one day aboard the JLA's satellite headquarters while Batman was giving a briefing to the JLA on the current whereabouts of the Legion of Doom. Oracle and he had traced some emails back to certain servers which pointed to Lex Luthor. Logic and a lot of luck combined with the profound detective skills of the two Bats gave hints of the Legion's location, and it was now known that they had holed up in one of Lex's supposedly hidden labs. The odd thing was the location of this lab, for instead of being near Lex's stomping grounds in Metropolis, it was outside of Gotham City. Batman had to wonder if Lex was trying to rub it in his own nose by having a lab in his own neighborhood.

The Dark Knight Detective had mentioned that his old sometimes friend, sometimes lover and other times enemy Catwoman was keeping an eye on the comings and goings at the Legion's temporary headquarters. Eyes around the table had gone up upon hearing this, and in particular Hawkgirl had asked, "Can Catwoman be trusted, Bruce?"

Only Superman and Wonder Woman had caught the slight blush and twitch of an eye as Batman heard this question. They were the only members who hadn't turned to face Shayera when her voice had sounded. "Yes, for the past year Selina has been on the side of the angels. But to keep other villains from catching on, she and I have set up a few targets for her to hit while I do my thing and stop her. So the public and other interested parties still think Catwoman is a feline femme fatale."

Bruce hadn't taken that any further, but Diana had been inspired. If Catwoman was known to be a tried and true villainess to other evil doers, perhaps she could actually approach the Legion of Doom and get inside their organization. But just getting Selina in would not be enough; Diana doubted Selina knew enough of the Legion's background to get as much information as possible. So, Wonder Woman waited patiently for the meeting to adjourn.

When they broke up, Diana approached Zatanna. "Zee, I had an idea while Batman was giving his briefing. Follow me to my room so I can talk to you in private."

The raven haired magician noted the hint of conspiracy in the Amazon's voice, and quickly moved to be side by side with her. "Diana, you sound like you're getting a bit conniving."

Diana just turned and gave Zatanna a wink and a grin. A very suspicious grin. "If we have to wait until we are hidden in your room, Princess, why wait?" Zee asked. "s'anaiD sretrauq." Both of the heroines vanished.

Wonder Woman was totally nonplused at suddenly finding herself inside her room with Zatanna at her side. She had been magically teleported by Zatanna enough times to no longer find it strange. "Thanks, Zee. Now I can tell you all that much sooner about my idea."

Zatanna nodded when the Amazon was finished. "Seems perfectly doable to me, Diana. Do you think Selina would be willing to go along?"

"I sure hope so, Zatanna. Now that I know why she got into that catfight with me two months ago but didn't really seem to be trying hard, I'm pretty sure she'll do it."

"Okay," Zee answered, "but if she does, won't it seem more than a bit odd to the Legion or other evil doers if they fight the JLA and Wonder Woman isn't in their midst?"

Diana put on a wicked looking grin. "I thought about that, Zee. Here's what I have in mind..."

Zatanna giggled. "Oh my, but wouldn't Kal be surprised if he were to find out what you're setting up, Diana! No doubt, he'd throw a super fit!"

"But if we do this right," Wonder Woman replied, "Superman will never know. Let's go down to Metropolis right now, and see if that part of the scenario will work. Otherwise, we're back to plan B without a plan A, and I'll have to come up with some other solution." Zatanna nodded. Wonder Woman walked over to the comm panel on the wall next to her door. "Flash, do me a favor and tell the others that Zee and I are going to Paradise Island for a brief visit."

"Will do, Diana," Wally answered. "Taking Zatanna to the island, eh? Don't you two have TOO much fun down there!"

Zee looked at Diana. "He really needs to get his mind out of the gutter sometimes, doesn't he?"

Diana actually giggled. When she recovered, she pressed the button again to say, "Don't worry, Wally. Zatanna will still be hetero when we get back." She burst out laughing once she'd released the talk button, and Zee joined her.

When the laughing died down, Zatanna asked, "Think we should call first before popping in?"

"Good idea, Zee." Diana changed the setting on the comm panel and in moments was more or less at an in orbit cellphone with NO connectivity problems. "Hi, Lois. This is Wonder Woman. Any chance Zatanna and I could drop in for a few?"

"Sure, Princess," the star reporter of the Daily Planet replied. "When should I be expecting you?"

"Would right now be okay?" the Amazon said from directly behind Lois. Zatanna had zapped them both as soon as Lois had said it was okay.

"Damn, that was fast!" Lois Lane said in surprise.

Zee giggled and told Lois, "My magic makes even your boyfriend or the JLA telepoters look slow. Hmm, even Flash is no match for me!"

Then Wonder Woman put her right hand on Lois' left shoulder. "Lois, I have a big favor to ask. For a week or two, hopefully no more, I'm not going to be able to be with the JLA in any way if what I'm planning works out. Would you be willing to take my place as Wonder Woman for the time I'm gone?"

Lois gasped. "Be Wonder Woman? I know we both have long black hair, Princess, but you are blessed with a few godly attributes that I'm lacking."

"That's where Zatanna comes in, Lois," the Amazon replied. "Not only can she make you look EXACTLY like me, but she can also use her magic to give you all my strength and powers."

Lois' eyes opened in surprise. "This would be a change! Over the years I've worn one costume or another and willingly or unwillingly taken on the roles of a few heroines and even a few villainesses, but this would be the first time I'd actually be the person I was impersonating. I'll have to call the Planet and tell them I'm going to be away for a while."

"Have you got any vacation time," Wonder Woman asked, "or could you say you're on a fantastic new story?"

"This would be one hell of a story, but I'm betting if Superman ever found out I'd be in big trouble."

Diana twisted her lips in thought for a moment, then said, "If I transfer some of my memories and thought processes to you, Lois, I doubt Superman would have any way of telling you're alongside him. Even J'onn might have difficulty in finding your own identity in your mind if we do this right."

At this, Zatanna interrupted. "We may have to bring the Martian Manhunter in on this, Diana."

"For the time being, let's not, Zee," Wonder Woman replied. "Lois, see if you can arrange that leave of absence or whatever at the Planet."

Lois got back on the phone, this time talking to someone a lot closer. "Hi, Perry."

"Good afternoon, Lois, what's up?"

"Chief, (on the other end, the older man cringed) I just got a fantastic lead to a story that can't be beat. I don't want even Clark to know about this. Can you tell everybody I took a vacation, so I can follow this up?"

"Don't call me... Okay, Lois. If even Clark had asked for this favor I doubt I'd be going along, but for you, I'll do it. I do want the story when you get back, of course."

"That you will, Perry," Lois told him, "that you will. Thanks a lot, bye."

"Bye, Lois. Should I say, have fun?"

"Don't you know it! Bye, Perry."

No sooner had Lois clicked off the phone and set it down, she heard a semi-familiar sounding gibberish being said by Zatanna. Milliseconds later, she felt her body expanding and growing taller followed by a familiar red, white, blue and gold costume appearing on her now Amazon body, along with red and white boots on her feet with heels that made her even taller still. She also felt as if her own memories and being were shunted to the side as the identity of Wonder Woman took over in her mind. She now knew herself to be Princess Diana, but still had her own identity as Lois Lane buried deep in her psyche. She looked at her twin. "Well, if I'm now Wonder Woman, who are you going to be?"

"The less you have to know," the original told her replacement, "the easier it will be to pull off what I have planned...WONDER WOMAN!"

"But you will tell me all about it when we're finished, won't you?"

The original Diana grinned. "You'll probably have it all figured out very soon, Lo- Oops, I almost called you by your old name. The plan I'm working on involves someone you yourself took on the role of, as you'd mentioned earlier, Diana. You'll figure it all out real soon, I'm sure."

"Okay. Now what?"

"Wait here for Zatanna to come back and take you up to the satellite, Wonder Woman. She'll be leaving with me in a moment, but she should be back soon. By the way, for the sake of anybody on the satellite, you and Zee have just made a brief visit to Paradise Island."

"And just what kind of fun did we have there?"

The original Wonder Woman and Zatanna shared a grin. "You think just like Wally West, Diana. Yes, you COULD have participated in some fantastic orgies with your sisters, but you and Zee were just there to confer with your Mother."

The new Wonder Woman was thoroughly enjoying the images in her mind and the moistening in her crotch this discussion brought up, and grinned. "Queen Hippolyte is doing just fine right now, isn't she."

"Yes, I do believe she IS Wonder Woman," Zatanna interjected. "Just wait right here for a bit and I'll be right back, Princess."

The new Wonder Woman was feeling good in being called Princess when she heard Zatanna doing her thing once again, and this time, she and her twin disappeared. Bored for just a moment, she decided to experiment with her new powers. She spun in a familiar motion and after a burst of light appeared in the body covering blue dive suit costume. Another spin and burst of light brought forth the identity of Diana Prince. This was really good, she thought. If she imagined any other forms while doing that spin...? After the next burst of light, Lois Lane was once again in her condo. Inspired, she spun again. Using memories of one of her past forced identities, the burst of light revealed the black and purple costume of Catwoman! This new power was too good to be true. She quickly spun again and finally reappeared as the familiar Wonder Woman. She went over to her (her?) couch and sat down with a copy of Newsweek to wait.

This time Zatanna's magic transported the pair to Gotham City. Diana knew finding a phone would be near impossible, so she had Zee take them to the doorstep of the Clock Tower. Oracle was more than a bit surprised to see them suddenly appearing in her sensors, but knew right away when she recognized Zatanna. "Hello, ladies," they heard on the speaker next to the door. "What brings you here to Gotham?"

"Oracle, I need your help, and I need for you to forget you've given it to me once you have," the original Wonder Woman replied.

"Sounds like you'd better come on up, then," Barbara Gordon, aka Oracle told them. "Both Huntress and Black Canary are out right now, so I'm all by myself and my computers."

A few moments later, the elevator door opened to a sight the two JLA members had seen in imagery but never before in person. The redhead in her wheelchair seemed totally dwarfed by the banks of computers and communications gear. "Wow, this is really some setup you have here, Babs." Diana had only found out the true identity of Oracle a year before, and became even more in awe of the JLA's primary information source. "Now, Bruce said you were working with Catwoman..."

A few moments later Babs was in touch with Selina. "Catwoman, this is Oracle."

"Go ahead."

"I have visitors that wish to see you. Are you available?"

"Available for what?" All three could hear the inflection in Selina's voice, and two of them thought she should be grouped with both Wally and the new Wonder Woman.

"They want to talk. Where are you now?"

"Just talk? Damn. I'm in my suite, Oracle. Do I need to get dressed up for this?"

"I don't think so, Catwoman. But if you're nude, you may wish to put on something."

"You spoil all my fun, Oracle." Selina was grinning wide. "Not to worry, I'm all dressed up with no place to go."

"I wish I had video, Catwoman. Watch for two visitors who will just pop into view."

No sooner had Babs said this than Selina saw Wonder Woman and Zatanna appear before her. "Heh! They're already here, Oracle."

Babs looked up to see no sign of her visitors. "Okay, I'll check back with you later, Catwoman." Then she thought, 'And I need to forget that Wonder Woman and Zee were even here...'

In Selina Kyle's elegant condo, the visitors saw the beautiful raven haired woman wearing a metallic gold dress but without what would seem to be needed matching heels. "Now I see what you meant by all dressed up, Selina," Wonder Woman said. "Why so showy?"

"I was originally going to be attending a function at the Opera House this afternoon, but Oracle cued me in to be ready to get close to Lex and company. I didn't feel like getting out of the dress right away, so here I am."

"Selina, I got inspired with a way to get REAL close to Lex and the rest of his Legion while Bruce was briefing us earlier today. So far, Lex has no reason to think of you as anything other than another felon, right?"

Selina gave the Amazon a quizzical look. "I suppose you're right, they wouldn't have any way of knowing how I've been working WITH Batman instead of against him. But why?"

"I thought of a way for me to get up close and personal with not only Lex Luthor but also two of the old enemies of mine that are working with him now," Diana replied. "Selina, if you would go along, I want to have Zatanna put you and I together and share your body. We could go to Lex as Catwoman and offer to join his group or otherwise assist them. In the process, I'd be getting all the inside information I'd need to let the JLA finally put the Legion out of business."

Selina's mouth was agape. "YOU want to join with ME in MY body?"

"Yes, I know it sounds far-fetched," the Amazon replied, "but I think it's a perfect way to get inside and get up close to both Cheetah and Circe."

"We'd be together in my head?"

"I know, it seems strange but I think it can work, Selina. I'd sort of be along for the ride, while you would be in charge. You and I together would be Catwoman, with you being the primary motivator."

"This is really something...okay, I suppose I can manage to still be me with you riding along. You have to promise me that you won't make me do anything I don't want to do once you're inside with me."

"Like I said, Selina, I'm doing this strictly as a rider or spectator. If you will agree to do this, I'll make sure Bruce gets the good word eventually, and you'll get even more credit for helping out."

"Okay, Wonder Woman, I'll do it. What do I have to do?"

"Just sit there, Selina. Zatanna?"

A spell that Zee had spent a good bit of time working out to make sure no slip ups occurred was then spoken. "...era htob anileS elyK dna namowtaC," she finished.

The image of Wonder Woman disappeared.

"This is a new perspective, to see and experience being you after being in battles with you so many times," Selina said.

"I presume you're now able to see and fully understand all my thoughts," Selina replied.

'Yes, and let's just converse mentally now so that we don't give away that I'm along for the ride, okay?'

'Exactly.'

"I am Selina Kyle, Zatanna. You'd better get out of here. This is the home of the ultra evil feline femme fatale called Catwoman, and unless you want to feel the pain of my whip, you'd better go NOW!"

Zatanna saw the deadly serious look on Selina's face, and didn't dare make any kind of reply. She only hoped it was all an act, and that she hadn't somehow screwed up her spell. "oT rednoW s'namoW ecalp," she said, and poofed out of sight.

'We sure put the fear of death into Zatanna, didn't we.'

'Yeah, did you see that look on her face?'

'Time to get ready for work, isn't it?'

'Indeed, let's get dressed.'

Off came the gold dress, and in no time Selina Kyle and her rider were clad in the black leather costume she'd started using after giving up on the purple spandex a few years ago. Both occupants of her mind appreciated the fact that this costume had chunky but comfortable boots with flat heels. Forty minutes later, Catwoman was looking into the sensor outside Lex's lair.

"Well, if it isn't Catwoman. I'd been wondering when you were going to come and join us. Come on in," said the electronic sounding voice of Lex Luthor.

'Well, here goes. Just remember, you're along for the ride, and I'm in charge.'

'Yes, Mistress! Just kidding.'

'Stay away from some of those memories.'

'Sorry, I can't stay away. Your memories are mine, and if you check, you'll find that mine are yours, too.'

After a brief lull, 'Oh, so you and all those other women on Paradise Island do have all kinds of fun there...'

'YOU stay away from THOSE memories!'

'You know, this is going to be a lot of fun with you and I together!'

'Time to get to business now, let's not be playing around.'

After passing through three different security doors, Catwoman walked into what looked like a break room. Lex was standing at the counter on the far wall, with a coffee pot in his hands. Star Sapphire and Circe were lounging in deep chairs conversing. Cheetah was leaning on the top of a chair. "Hi, Lex, long time no see," Catwoman said in greeting.

Lex put down the coffee pot and walked over. "So, we are to be getting the assistance of the premier cat burglar. I've been wondering why when we were so close you haven't come to us any sooner. I'm not taking any chances, so if you're going to be working with us, let's be sure you ARE working with us. Circe?"

As instructed by Lex as soon as he'd seen Catwoman on the monitor, Circe put a freezing spell on the feline felon. Not as in chilling, but as in not being able to move a muscle.

'What's she doing?'

'Hell if I know.'

"Catwoman has been known to be a lover and helper of Batman," Lex said. "But no helper of Batman could ever fight against him. Sapphire?"

Suddenly a magenta hued energy field enveloped Catwoman. "Catwoman is pure, unadulterated evil," said Star Sapphire. "She has no knowledge of any good tendencies. There is only one true Catwoman, the one who knows she is an enemy of all that is good. There is no other mind thinking good thoughts, just the mind of the world's most deadly feline felon. Catwoman also is out of costume in black. Purple is correct."

The energy field went away.

There was suddenly no indication of voices talking to each other in Selina's mind. She had but one identity, and she knew just who she was - the incredibly evil Catwoman. And she just loved finding herself in figure hugging purple spandex with black thigh high boots making her stand five inches taller and shoulder length gloves. Her one thought was to make as much mayhem as possible to help her teammates in the Legion of Doom.

"Yes, I am Catwoman, the Mistress of Malice. Meowwwrrrr!"

"I just knew Catwoman was coming to join us," Lex said. "Cheetah, get Catwoman set up with quarters and get her acquainted with the facility."

"I've been looking forward to working with another feline felon," Cheetah said as she took Catwoman's black leather clad arm into her own. "We cats have to work together!"

Somewhere, deep inside Catwoman's mind, a tiny voice said, 'NO!'

"Yes, we have the claws to keep ourselves scratching, don't we, Cheetah!" said Catwoman in a strong voice.

* * * * *

Zatanna reappeared in the condo belonging to Lois Lane, only momentarily surprising the woman who was now much more Wonder Woman than Lois Lane. "Ah, you're alone, so I presume whatever plan my twin had is now in progress, Zatanna?"

"Yes, and you are now the only Wonder Woman in the world," Zee replied. "From what I saw and heard as I was getting ready to come back here, I just hope things are going according to plan. It seemed like the original Diana may have gone further into what she wanted to do than she wanted, but she may have been just playing with me."

Wonder Woman stood. "Still mum about why I'm the only Wonder Woman now, Zee?"

Zatanna smiled. "I'm not going to betray Diana's trust, so yes, for the time being you'll just have to know that you're who you are now and wait to see how things develop to find out why."

"Okay, I guess that will make this impersonation a lot more fun and interesting. I do have a few detail questions, though."

"There's no hurry to get back to the satellite, so why don't we sit and talk, Diana?" Zee answered.

"Sure, join me over here." Both of the women sat casually on the couch. "The bit you did to my mind must be working pretty well, since I reacted to being called Diana perfectly normally. Now, I'm wondering if I need to collect any of my own old personal gear from here to take up to the satellite?"

"No, at least I don't think so," Zatanna replied. "Since you are now Wonder Woman, you will be using everything in what is now your quarters there. I suppose we can pick up fresh soap and tooth brushes from supply if using the older ones seems a bit foreign."

"That's mostly what I was thinking about, thanks. Now, more about the lack of appearances by Lois Lane. I found out while you were gone that I can use my transformation power to change into Lois again if needed, but I think if I...I mean Lois gets in touch with Superman right now to let him know she's going away on a special investigation, it might reduce the amount of questions."

"Good idea! I'd like to see this transformation you mentioned. I've rarely watched Wonder Woman doing that spin bit."

Wonder Woman stood and moved to the center of the room, then started to spin with her arms outstretched. After the burst of light, Zatanna saw Lois Lane standing there. "What do you think, Zatanna?"

"WOW! I was always under the impression that Diana could only go back and forth from her costumed identity to her civilian identity using that power."

"I think maybe it has something to do with the fact that this is my true form that's still known to my mind, Zee," Lois said. "I found out in my trying this that I can alter my look to any form I can picture in my memories of myself. Let me use the phone to call Clark, since using my or your JLA communicator would be a bad idea."

Zatanna was grinning. "That ability to transform yourself could come in real handy. Go ahead and call Supes."

Lois picked up her cellphone and punched the special series of numbers she'd been given to connect to the watch desk on the satellite. It got picked up in the middle of the second ring.

"Hi, Lois. What's up?" Flash asked.

"That caller ID you guys have must be pretty handy, Flash. Is this line secure?"

"You bet it is, on both counts, Lois."

"Wally, I need to talk to Superman. Can you get him for me?"

"Shouldn't be any problem, Lois. Hang on a sec."

In less than that second, Flash got up from the desk and zoomed through the satellite until he found the Kryptonian hero chatting with Martian Manhunter in the rec room. "Kal, Lois is on the special phone line. She's on hold back at the desk."

"Thanks, Wally," Superman said while standing. "Sorry, J'onn, I'll be back in a few minutes."

"Take your time, Kal," J'onn said. "I know how Lois can get sometimes."

The Man of Steel grinned. "That's why I love Lois, J'onn. I wonder what she's getting into now? Only one way to find out. Wally, I'd race you back to the desk, but I think it's best if you get back and tell Lois I'll be there in just a moment."

Flash winked, then turned and disappeared in a blur. When he got to the watch desk the Scarlet Speedster clicked the button and said, "Lois, the man of your life is on the way. I know he can fly faster than I run, but I guess he's more cautious about zooming around in the satellite."

Lois had placed the phone in a hands off mode while she was waiting, and both she and Zatanna smiled when they heard Wally's remark. Both knew, in Lois' case twice over, about Wally West's almost juvenile attitudes and demeanor. "I am glad Clark's not racing you in those tight spaces, Wally," Lois said as Zatanna worked to keep her lips sealed.

Moments later, Lois heard a deeper and more familiar voice. "Hi, Lois, what's up?"

"Clark, I just arranged with Perry to take a couple of weeks off. I don't know how I'm going to manage with not having you close by, but I need to get some things done all by myself."

"Lois, I know you better than that. What have you gotten into now?"

"None of your business, Smallville. Just don't worry about me until you hear from me again in a few weeks. Even if I end up in a perilous situation, I don't want to have the Man of Steel streaking to my rescue."

Wally saw Kal's eyebrows rise. "Okay, Lois, if you insist. If you end with the story of the year I'll be jealous. It'll be hard not being your guardian angel until I hear from you again."

"I doubt very much you'll have to worry about coming to my rescue," Lois replied. "I'll either watch for you at the Planet or give you a call if you're not here when I get back."

"Okay, Lois. Be careful, and I guess I should say have fun."

"I will, Clark and thanks. Bye!"

"Bye, Lois."

The Man of Steel saw Wally looking at him with a goofy expression. "I know, Wally. Lois is up to something, but I'll wait and see for the time being. That's what I like about her, I guess. Lois is just so unpredictable."

"I'm glad she's your girlfriend and not mine, Kal," Flash replied. "I'd never be able to keep up with her!"

Superman was going to challenge that, but just grinned at Wally. Both knew the younger man was probably right.

Back in the condo, Lois did her spin back into Wonder Woman right after shutting off the phone. "Now then, Zatanna, let's get back up to the satellite to tell everybody about our quick visit to see my Mom and the other Amazons on Paradise Island."

Zee did her thing, and moments later Flash watched as Wonder Woman and Zatanna blinked into view at the desk. The two women joined Superman in a casual walk back to the rec room, where an animated discussion soon ensued about the latest things going on at the Amazon's home.

* * * * *

After spending only a few moments getting settled into her new quarters and then getting a quick tour of the facility from Cheetah, Catwoman made her way back to Luthor. "Lex, I think that for us to just wait for the JLA to come after us is pointless. We need to take the battle to them. I've been thinking while Cheetah was showing me around, and I've got a perfect plan for getting inside the JLA without them knowing it and taking them down from the inside out."

Lex's expression changed from animated glee at seeing Catwoman in her evil glory to one of surprised expectation. "By all means, Catwoman, tell us what you cooked up."

"Let's sit and get comfortable, Lex. This involves all of us, but most especially Star Sapphire and Circe."

Catwoman proceeded to brief her new teammates on the plan she had formulated using knowledge she found in her mind which seemed out of place, but at the same time very handy.

* * * * *

Wonder Woman spent a week doing her thing with the JLA and also back home in Gateway City. Either because she had given him no reason to do so, or Martian Manhunter had found no way to discover any sign of Lois Lane in her psyche as they fought side by side and together with other JLA members in battles with Mirror Master and Captain Cold. The two super villains usually were major pains for Flash or Wonder Woman when they got into each hero's daily work, but even together they proved no match for the prowess of the JLA's teamwork. It was while handing the pair over to authorities that Aquaman uttered an unknowingly significant thought to Green Lantern, "Good thing these guys were working on their own. Could you imagine if Lex Luthor was to add them to his Legion of Doom?"

The others just looked at Arthur and dreaded having to face the group of super villains again anytime soon.

The next day, Wonder Woman found herself doing the daily tasks of her other identity, Diana Prince. Gateway City was such a nicer place to live than Metropolis, but that was a thought she had to keep to herself. She was in the process of getting groceries when an alarm went off in the bank right across the street. 'You've got to be kidding,' she thought. The cart was left in the middle of the bread isle as Ms. Prince rushed to a spot in the back room, since the ladies room was occupied. With the back room seemingly vacant, a quick spin resulted in the appearance of Wonder Woman.

The Amazon quickly made her way across the street, then did a double take when she saw who was robbing the bank - Mirror Master! Hadn't they just had him put away yesterday? It seemed way too easy for Wonder Woman to take the villain down once she confronted him, and was shocked to see his form changing right before her eyes once he was down on the floor. No longer was he Mirror Master, he was just some nondescript guy. She shrugged her shoulders as a crowd surrounded them, and told the police who showed up that they did have a bank robber to take in, but that something was definitely not right.

Then, as she was leaving the bank with many questions in her head, Wonder Woman spotted Silver Swan swooping down into an alley two blocks down the street. 'First Mirror Master, and now Silver Swan?' she wondered, but had to investigate even if doubts floated in her mind. A quick sprint to the alley found the golden haired, beautiful winged villainess around a corner in a much more concealed alleyway using her shriek to try and open a lock box. The Amazon knew better than to confront the woman with the killer cry directly, so instead she stealthily crept up behind her. Taking care to avoid the razor sharp feathers of her wings, Wonder Woman stuck out her right leg to kick the villainess off her feet. As she was unclipping her lasso to secure her foe, the Amazon was frozen in shock once again. The form of the beautiful Silver Swan changed right before her eyes into yet another nondescript GUY!

"A man-" she started to say, when Wonder Woman was startled to feel her lasso being yanked from her hand. "Who-?"

She could not believe the sight that greeted her eyes. It was Wonder Woman holding her lasso! But she was Wonder Woman, so who was this usurper?

This moment of confusion was just what the faux Wonder Woman had counted on. She rapidly wound the magic lasso around what she thought was the real Wonder Woman's shoulders. "I order you to remain silent and make no moves. You cannot move a muscle."

Wonder Woman then felt what she had considered experimenting with back in the condo a week or so earlier. She felt compelled to do just as she'd been instructed.

Then she was shocked to see Circe approach them. "Perhaps you were wondering about your fake foes, Wonder Woman, no pun intended!" The witch was grinning wickedly. "Lex arranged for Mirror Master and Captain Cold to battle the JLA yesterday and lose, just so I could make a false Mirror Master to draw your attention today. And turning this unsuspecting man into the gorgeous Silver Swan was icing on the cake. She really took to her new role!"

The false Wonder Woman held up her left hand. "Don't gloat, Circe. You have way too much fun changing people around, but I am glad you did change me first. You do still have the copy of my costume with its second power gem, don't you?"

Circe held out her hand, with a black and magenta costume in it. "Of course, WONDER WOMAN!"

The fake then turned to her captive. "Yes, that's right. I am Wonder Woman, and that means you're wearing the wrong costume. I order you to take off your false costume."

Feeling a compulsion she could not deny, the woman tied up in the golden lasso proceeded to take off her boots, take off her golden belt, pull down her white starred blue shorts, unzip and pull away her red and gold bustier, pull off her bracelets and tiara, and finally remove the red star earrings.

"She doesn't look quite right, does she, Circe?" the only dressed Wonder Woman said.

"No, which means she must have also changed her physical look. Let's get her back into her true form, Wonder Woman." Circe waved her hand, and the Amazon felt herself becoming smaller once again. She could feel her face and hair changing, too. But what did she look like now?

The only apparent Wonder Woman then said, "I order you to put on your true costume." Circe handed it to the changed woman. "I'm going to remove the lasso so you can change. I order you to have no thoughts of escaping or doing anything other than putting on your costume."

The ex-Amazon, ex-Lois Lane took the magenta mask with a glowing gem centered over the eye holes and placed it over her face. Suddenly, it seemed like no further orders from the lasso were needed. She knew who she was, and wondered why she was out of costume. Before anything else she grabbed the magenta colored nearly crotch high boots and pulled them onto her feet and legs. She felt so much more comfortable in her boots with their incredibly high stiletto heels instead of flat footed in her bare feet. Then she pulled on the long sleeved black leotard with a magenta starburst design between and over her breasts. She finished by drawing the elbow length magenta gloves over her hands and up to her elbows.

Wonder Woman stood facing her with her hands on her hips. "Now, let's see, sweet princess. What's your true name?"

"My name is Star Sapphire, Mistress!"

"Good, and who am I?"

"You are Wonder Woman, of course. My enemy, along with the others in the Justice League."

Before Star Sapphire could lash out with her power, Wonder Woman drew the lasso over her shoulders once again. "Yes, I am Wonder Woman. But for the time being, I am not your enemy. I am now working with Lex Luthor as a spy for the Legion of Doom. Together, we will all turn the members of the JLA into our slaves!"

Star Sapphire nodded. "Ah, I'm glad you're working with us instead of against us, Wonder Woman."

"Okay, Sapphire," Circe said, "let's get back to Lex so Wonder Woman can get back to her teammates on the satellite."

"Yes, let's!" With that, Star Sapphire took off to fly by the power of her gem, with Circe in her hands. It was through careful suggestions to Sapphire that Circe gave her directions, since until she got there, THIS Star Sapphire would have no knowledge of the lair's location.

* * * * *

The person who was now the third but still only present Wonder Woman did just as Circe had suggested. She'd never before been inside the JLA's headquarters satellite, but finding her way around and fitting right in proved to be no problem. While others had no clue, she visited nearly every part of the satellite gathering information to pass on to Luthor. There was just one problem. She had no idea that Zatanna was aware of earlier changes in identity for the Amazon, and so got tripped up. It was as Wonder Woman asked the Mistress of Magic if there were any plans for the JLA to use her as a counter to Circe and get even with the Legion of Doom that Zee started to wonder. Lois as Wonder Woman did know something was afoot, but nothing specific. Yet again, there wasn't any reason she would be asking the magician for info like that.

Zatanna started paying closer attention to everything the Amazon did. She was NOT acting like the heroine who helped build the satellite and would know everything there was know about it and for that matter, all the other JLA members. Zee made her way to J'onn, and asked the Manhunter to do a mind scan of Wonder Woman, something she and the other two conspirators had insisted on not doing before. J'onn reached out, careful to make sure his target was unaware, and found a mind totally foreign. "That's not Wonder Woman, Zatanna, that's Star Sapphire!"

"We've got to stop her quick, J'onn!" Zee replied. "I should be able to constrain her with my magic."

"Let's just hope she has just the powers of Wonder Woman, if those even, and not the powers of her sapphire gem in addition. You go find our faker, and I'll get the others!"

"Do hurry, J'onn. I don't like the idea of taking her on all by myself."

"Just exercise caution, Zatanna. And good luck."

While Martian Manhunter went to hunt down not just the men but also the other two women of the JLA, Black Canary and Huntress, Zee made her way to the last place J'onn had seen Wonder Woman in his mind. There she was, crouched at the computer bank. Couched as she was, the faux Amazon presented a much more tempting target than if she'd been standing and ready to move, Zatanna figured. "rednoW namoW, emoceb dezylarap!"

Since in effect she was now Wonder Woman, the faker felt herself freeze in place.

Zatanna saw the effectiveness of her first spell, and so got bold. "uoY era ylsuoivbo ton rednoW namoW. ekaT no ruoy eurt mrof dna ytitnedi."

Suddenly, still frozen in a crouch, the image of Wonder Woman changed to that of Star Sapphire. At the same moment, Martian Manhunter came around the corner followed quickly by Green Lantern, Blue Beetle and Aquaman. "Zatanna, you sure work fast!" J'onn said.

Aquaman was already using his own mind reading capabilities as J'onn was congratulating Zee. "This is the true Star Sapphire. She and Circe have taken Wonder Woman and changed her to look like Sapphire and think that's who she is!"

"So right now there are TWO Star Sapphire's?" Green Lantern exclaimed. "Let's get that gem away from her so she can be handled a lot more easily." A green pincher reached out from his ring to snatch the glowing magenta gem from her mask.

As soon as the true Star Sapphire was powerless and locked up in the satellite's holding cells, Zatanna gathered all the available heroes, who by now also included Superman, Batman, Black Canary and Big Barda into the briefing room. "I have a confession to make, guys and gals," she said in introduction. "What this Star Sapphire was caught doing is nearly identical to what the true Wonder Woman thought of to do against the Legion of Doom. A week ago, the two of us didn't go down to
Paradise Island. We made a stop in Metropolis, then went to Gotham City."

Superman interrupted. "Zee, does this have anything to do with that call I got from Lois?"

Zatanna hung her head. "Yes, Kal, it certainly does. You see, the Wonder Woman that Circe and Star Sapphire changed into the new Star Sapphire wasn't really Princess Diana. That was Lois."

"WHAT!!!" screamed Kal-el.

"Sorry, Kal, but Diana had sworn me to secrecy. Diana had me change Lois into her twin so that she could go to Catwoman and have me merge her with Selina so they could get inside the Legion and scout around."

It was Batman's turn now. "Maybe that explains why Selina has been seen acting like a woman with not a moral in her body in this past week. Maybe she got caught by Lex or the others just as we caught Sapphire, and had her mind twisted by them...possibly Circe or Sapphire's work, maybe both."

Zatanna nodded. "I fear that may have happened. We need to get close to the Star Sapphire who is now with the Legion and make sure Lois gets her true identity back. But how?"

Silence reigned for a few minutes. Faces screwed in contemplation.

Then Martian Manhunter raised a finger. "Zatanna, could you simulate the powers of Circe?"

Zee thought for moment before answering. "As long as I'm not noticed uttering my spells under my breath, I suppose so. What did you have in mind, J'onn?"

"If we can trap one of the other Legion members, I can change to take their place and lure Circe into another trap. Then you could use your magic to alter yourself to look like Circe and we could then together go in to get both Lois and the combined Selina and Diana."

"That sounds workable, J'onn," Kal said. "I'll fly down there right away and watch for any of the Legion members to leave the lair and try to grab them, then let you know."

As Superman left, Green Lantern turned to J'onn. "I presume you realize that the odds of a male member of the Legion leaving are a lot smaller than a female's?"

As if to prove he had no problem in taking on the identity of a female legion member, before he even answered Kyle, J'onn altered into a feminine form of Martian. "The shape I take is of little significance, Green Lantern."

"Point taken, J'onn. Sorry. I'm glad you have no problem with that, though. I'd hate to even think of being a female."

Kyle drew nasty looks from various women at the table. "Uh...I said that wrong, didn't I?"

Under her breath, Zatanna muttered, "neerG nretnaL si a elamef."

Those watching were surprised to see Lantern suddenly turn into the woman he'd have been if his chromosomes had been different. And while not particularly beautiful, she was quite good looking. "Okay, I'm sorry," she said meekly.

Zatanna undid her spell, and Kyle returned to being the man he'd been before.

It was only moments later that the group heard a call come in from Superman. "I thought I was going to get lucky and find Lois...er, Star Sapphire coming out. But she stayed inside. Cheetah just came out all by herself, and it was a piece of cake for me to grab her. Her claws might need to be resharpened." He continued by telling them exactly where he was.

Martian Manhunter immediately took on the form of Cheetah. "Okay, here goes. I just hope I can get Circe into my claws." She held up her formidable looking hands.

While everybody was gawking at J'onn as Cheetah, Zatanna muttered, "mroF fo ecriC." Moments later, the group turned and gawked at Circe as she said, "I'm going with you, CHEETAH! I can get you there fastest, and be right there if it works out."

As the apparent Circe and Cheetah stood, Black Canary mumbled, "We've got Star Sapphire in the cell and Circe and Cheetah right here. Is this a meeting of the JLA or the Legion of Doom?"

"With luck, Dinah," the apparent Cheetah replied, "we'll have a complete JLA back in form again soon."

Cheetah walked over to Circe as the witch said, "oT s'namrepuS edis." The two popped out of sight, to appear nearly simultaneously alongside the Man of Steel. The true Cheetah hissed when she saw J'onn.

The faux Cheetah said, "Zee, you wait here with Superman. I'll send a mental signal when I've got Circe out of there."

"Just remember, Cheetah, I'm Circe now, not Zatanna."

Cheetah crouched and flexed her claws. "Hisss, yes, Circe." She then went back toward the lair's front door.

Lex greeted Cheetah upon her arrival. "Back so soon, Priscilla?"

"Yes, Lex. I decided it wasn't too smart to go off on my own. How about if I take Circe along? I'd feel a lot safer with her magic to back me up."

With this, Circe's face turned from her conversation with Catwoman and Star Sapphire. "Not a bad idea, Lex. I had fun earlier today, and maybe I can have some more fun going out with Cheetah."

"Okay, Circe," Lex answered. "You both be careful, and if you do change any more hapless fools into villains, Circe, how about giving them some real powers and bringing them here to join us?"

"Hee, hee, maybe Lex, maybe. You never know."

It wasn't more than four minutes after the two left the outer security doors that Cheetah dropped in behind Circe. As soon as the witch's attention was off her, she mentally called to Superman, <Okay, Kal, come and grab Circe so Zee can take her place.>

Milliseconds later, Circe was surprised to find herself being grabbed by the strongest hands in the world. These same hands then did a precision tap on her head to knock her out. The Man of Steel had no intention of letting Circe cast any spells on him. He landed next to the other Circe, who had cast a binding spell on the true Cheetah. "Be real careful to keep her from casting any spells, Superman," the faux Circe said. "We both know you're susceptible to magic."

"I intend to keep her unconscious, don't worry."

"Okay, wish us luck, Kal."

"Yes, best of luck to you. Bring back Lois and the combined Selina and Diana, please."

As Circe approached Cheetah, the faux feline felon said, "Lex suggested to Circe that she come back with some new villains after our trip. We'll have to wing it when we come back empty-handed."

"How long do you figure we should wait before going back?"

"I don't know what the original Cheetah had in mind," the new one said, "but I presume it involved her doing some mischief of some kind. I asked for Circe to come along for backup. Let's wait about an hour, then head back."

"I don't think we should wait that long. Let's go back right now, and I'll just tell Lex I can always bring back more villains sometime later. I'll mess up our costumes to make it look like we got into a scuffle." To make it look like Circe, Zatanna waved her hands as she almost silently uttered the spell to make them look roughed up. Both instantly looked like they'd been in a really tough situation.

Cheetah looked down at herself with her arms outstretched. "Did you have to make it this bad?"

"Heh, do you want me to make it so you FEEL like you got that mauling?"

"Hey, I thought you were Zatanna, not Circe!"

"I am, but from this moment, you and I are Cheetah and Circe."

The disguised J'onn answered, "Right, I just hope this works."

"Let's go."

About fifteen minutes after Circe and Cheetah had left, Lex was surprised to them back at the entrance monitor. "What the hell happened to you two?"

"Get us back in, Lex," Circe said. As soon as she and Cheetah were with Lex, and the other girls listening, she continued, "Batman may have gone up to the JLA satellite like you said, but those young twerps Nightwing and Batgirl are still here. They have a lot less compunction about beating up their opponents than the older Bat. I thought Cheetah and I could handle them, but they must have had some kind of magical shield put around them by Dr. Fate or something. No spell I cast seemed to have any effect on them, and since I have no physical prowess, we both got creamed. Let me go talk to Catwoman, I want to find out what she can tell me about those two."

Lex shook his head. "Just get cleaned up a bit first, Circe. Although I suppose you could just magically clean yourself up."

"I could, but a nice hot bath seems like just the thing for relaxing right now, Lex."

"Women..." he muttered.

"What was that, Lex? How would you like to find out just how good a hot bath can feel?"

"Sorry, no offense, Circe. Enjoy yourself."

"Watch yourself, Lex." Then, as she passed Catwoman, Circe said, "Selina, could you come with me to the bath? I want to find out what you can tell me about Nightwing and Batgirl."

"Sure, Circe. Did you say they seemed to have magical protection?"

"Seemed that way. I'll tell you about it in the tub."

As soon as they were in the bathroom, Circe quickly said, "ehT live namowtaC ezeerf, eht neddih ytitnedi fo rednoW namoW emoc kcab tuo." The purple and black clad feline felon stood motionless, while next to her appeared the form of Wonder Woman. "Am I ever glad I was able to get you back, Diana!"

Wonder Woman held out her hands and looked down at herself to make sure she wasn't imagining things. "Diana? I'm not Diana, I'm Selina. When Star Sapphire did her thing to turn Catwoman evil, Diana's mind was prominent, and I got shunted out of the way. So somehow, Diana's now Catwoman and I'm Wonder Woman! And why did you split us apart, Circe?"

"I may look like Circe, but I'm really Zatanna. And you're saying Diana is still in the body of Catwoman?"

Wonder Woman twisted to see herself in the mirror. "My God, I really am Wonder Woman! I don't know why I came out instead of Diana, Zatanna."

"It had to be the fact that Sapphire's work turned Diana's mind into the true evil Catwoman." The apparent Circe thought for a moment, then added, "I wonder if I can cast a spell to change her back to a heroine?"

"Well, I certainly feel like a heroine now," Selina said. "I sure hope Diana isn't stuck with the unbelievably evil personality I've had to live with for the past week or so."

Circe nodded. "namowtaC esol lla ytilitsoh, wonk taht er'uoy ton a ssenialliv tub a eurt enioreh. ezeerF dne."

Catwoman blinked her eyes, then as Wonder Woman had done before, lifted her hands and arms to look down upon herself. Then she looked at Wonder Woman. "How is it that I'm still Catwoman, and now Selina is Wonder Woman? At least, that's who I presume she is, since I don't hear her voice in my head. Her head. Oh, Hera, we must have split up and gone into the wrong bodies. Now I really am Catwoman!"

Circe shook her head. "I'll try to make up a spell to change you both back later, but right now J'onn is in the form of Cheetah and is talking with Star Sapphire. We still have to get Lois Lane back into her own self instead of Star Sapphire."

Almost in unison, the Amazon and the feline felon said, "Lois Lane is Star Sapphire?"

Then Diana as Catwoman said, "I remember now...it was a plan I gave to Lex to get Sapphire into the JLA's headquarters. Hang on, I'll go get Sapphire. I know she'll trust me, the only woman she knows to be more evil than herself." Catwoman then turned and left, with both Selina and Zee wondering what was going to happen next. Circe uttered another spell, and was suddenly both clean and in a fresh costume.

When Catwoman came back out to find Star Sapphire, she found her talking with Cheetah. The other kitten was still looking like death warmed over, and badly in need of both a bath and a fresh costume. "Sapphire, can I get you to come back to Circe's bathroom? Cheetah, you need to get cleaned up...BAD!"

"What does Circe need?" Star Sapphire asked.

"She's soaking away the grime she came in with," Catwoman replied, "and told me to get you. I'm not sure just what she wants, but hey, you don't get that witch mad at you. Then again, I suppose you're even more dangerous than she is, Sapphire. Just see what she wants, okay?"

Sapphire stood, saying, "Cheetah, if you'll excuse me. I have to see what the witch wants."

"Sure, I'll go get fixed up myself. See you in a bit, Sapphire." Then, after Cheetah and Catwoman were alone, Cheetah asked, "And how are you feeling now, Selina?"

Catwoman grimaced. "I'm feeling much better now, thank you." She looked around to make sure there were no other ears present. "Better and no longer evil to the core. But I'm not Selina. I'm Diana, and somehow Selina is now Wonder Woman. Let's get back and see how Zee is doing with Sapphire, J'onn."

"Oh no, you must truly have been changed back by Zatanna since you know I'm not really Cheetah, but you're in the wrong bodies?"

"Zee said she'd try to figure out another spell to change us back, but it would have to wait. Let's go see what the latest is."

As soon as Star Sapphire got back to the bathroom, she was momentarily stunned to see Circe clean as new and standing next to Wonder Woman. This delay was all the faux Circe wanted. "ratS erihppaS ezeerf."

"What do you think will work best, Zatanna," Wonder Woman said, "my lasso or your magic?"

"Go ahead and try the lasso, Di-...Selina," Circe said, shaking her head.

The golden lasso was wrapped around Star Sapphire's shoulders. "You look like Star Sapphire, but that isn't who you really are. Your true name is Lois Lane, whose mind and memories are yours to have."

When she saw Cheetah and Catwoman stick their heads into the room, Circe took a chance and uttered, "erihppaS ezeerfnu."

Now it was Lois Lane's turn to hold out her arms and look down upon herself. "Oh, WOW! This is a much better Star Sapphire costume than the other one I once wore!"

Wonder Woman looked at Circe, and both nodded. "Yep, that's Lois again, all right," Circe said. "Lois, I know I look like Circe, but I'm really Zatanna. How about trying that spin transformation again to get out of Star Sapphire's body and costume?"

"Uh, have I been Star Sapphire and acting like her?" the now confused instead of awed Lois asked.

"Yes, but don't let it bother you, Lois," the apparent Circe said. "Now, please try your spin."

"Spin?" Selina now asked.

"A power you may not yet know you have, Selina," Zee replied.

Just before she spun, Lois said, "Selina?"

"Selina is Wonder Woman, Diana is Catwoman, and I do hope to get this all fixed, Lois. SPIN!" Zee said in exasperation.

It looked odd for Star Sapphire to hold out her arms and spin, but sure enough, since she had been in the form of Wonder Woman, the burst of light occurred. Two mouths dropped when the light dissipated. Lois Lane was back in her own Catwoman costume. She giggled. "I just had to show you, Zatanna. And I know Selina must appreciate this."

When she'd recovered her breath, Wonder Woman said, "Okay, Lois, don't rub it in that you can be Catwoman and I can't. Or maybe I can..."

Circe shook her head. "Not now, Selina, PLEASE! Lois, since we know that you can change this way now, how about doing Star Sapphire again so we can make tracks and get past Luthor to go back the satellite?"

Another spin brought back the form of Star Sapphire, and Circe said a spell that made Wonder Woman invisible. Another spell reversed what she had done to Cheetah earlier, and the whole troupe then proceeded back to the entryway. Lex was only a bit surprised to see all his female villains going out together. Star Sapphire put a finger on his nose and said, "Don't wait up, Lex. We're going out for some all girl fun. Or maybe you'd like to change and join us?"

Lex Luthor shook his head. "No thanks, Sapphire. Just stay away from the Bat's junior batties, okay?"

Lex could have sworn he heard five different giggles as they all went out the door past him. He must have been hearing things...

* * * * *

Lex was more than a bit alarmed when he saw a bit in the paper about Circe and Cheetah being behind VERY secure bars. When he heard their stories eventually, Lex was one very mad scientist!

* * * * *

Back onboard the JLA satellite, the easiest changes were for J'onn and Zatanna. They became themselves with no problem, though J'onn did admit to Zee only that he did have a lot of fun being a female and playing the role of Cheetah. Lois Lane hugged Clark tightly for the second time in a Star Sapphire costume, but eased his fears when she spun back into herself moments later. She and the others were keeping it a secret from Smallville for the time being that not only could she spin into Lois, but also any other form or identity she had portrayed over the years. She particularly enjoyed the fact that as Star Sapphire she had all the powers that came with the gem.

No matter what Zatanna tried, Selina found that she was stuck being Wonder Woman while Diana found that she was stuck being Catwoman. Selina also found out about doing the spin, and found out that she could appear in any costume she could imagine whilst spinning. Since she was already used to the slightly shorter heels of her original costume boots and had gotten to feel very much at ease in the stilettos on the boots of her purple and black costume, the ex-Amazon decided to stay in the much sexier 'old' costume instead of going back to the more recent black one. Diana got used to being the feline femme fatale instead of the super strong Amazon, and the relationship between Batman and Catwoman started to really take off soon afterwards.

Catwoman did enjoy having two kittens helping her in her crime fighting who could spin into their new forms. One was always in a fetching black and purple costume which brought back memories in Gotham City, while the other seemed to never be in the same costume more than once a year. There were also the rarer times when her third kitten showed up, usually in a yellow costume with black spots.

Then there were the even rarer occasions when her magical kitten who said things backwards joined in.

Oracle turned out to gain a lot for her trust in Princess Diana; the Birds of Prey became bigger and more capable, almost an all female version of the JLA.

One of the biggest surprises came when Princess Diana made her next visit to her mother, Queen Hippolyte on Paradise Island. The Queen nearly fainted when she found that it was the cowled and masked passenger dressed in a body hugging purple catsuit with black boots and gloves who got out of the invisible jet and was her daughter. It was shortly arranged for Selina Kyle to become Hippolyte's adopted daughter, since she was now in the eternal body formed from clay. While Princess Diana did still hold her title, it was acknowledged that since she was now in a body that would age and die, aside from the fact that she was known as a past criminal, she could no longer visit Paradise Island without an invitation. As Catwoman, Diana herself felt no more need to do so.

Yes, it all turned out quite well for Princess Diana, aka Catwoman.
