Last night Alfie used up his time one a few people.

Mostly a few small organized crime groups and a big one called the Stidda Mafia.

The Stidda was a big force in Italy, rivaling the very first Mafia family since ever: Cosa Nostra.

The Cosa Nostra were a bunch of bandits back in the old days, but just like everyone it also evolved into the very first Mafia ever.

The Stidda wasn't as old as the Cosa Nostra but they became as stable as them and held their grounds through years in Italy.

Stidda had connections to the Red Skull during his travels and Alfie believed the Stidda Mafia had donated some of their men to the invaders of Italy.

But luckily enough the Cosa Nostra also had a hand in the war, and sided with the Allies.

The Nostra Mafia at first sided with the Axis some time ago but changed sides again later spilling out every thing that would have been bad to Italy.

With that the Cosa Nostra Mafia sided with the Allies and started fighting against the invaders of Italy in 1943.

Mostly against the Stidda Mafia as they had a score to settle and had more things they wanted from each other.

The Cosa Nostra wouldn't have gone this far if it wasn't for their big boss Don Caló.

Calogero Vizzini more specifically.

He was a man of great respect and honor.

The Cosa Nostra existed for a long time and even past "Boss of Bosses" was not as respectable as Don Caló.

Even law enforcements in Italy have big respect for him along with the civilians.

The old man around 64 years old was a family man as well as a country man.

Helping those with family as well as protecting his country.

Even Alfie knew a bit about him and had a tinge of respect for the man, of course he didn't do anything to earn his respect but the Don had one of those aura of wise and respectful men.

But that was all.

The night before was something easy, just find human traffickers, break their bones, disable them and then free the captured victims.

That was pretty much it.

All the other operations in the Stidda Mafia were left alone, they were pretty much just drugs, money and weaponry but Alfie was not in need of any.

His goal was to use the Grappling gun and Staff and get familiar with it, and it was pretty useful.

The staff gave Alfie more reach than the sword ever could while the Grappling Gun was just used in an unorthodox way that the Mafia men didn't expect.

He used it the way Batman would when he fired it, hooking a thug before pulling and hitting.

In the end Alfie got more in his arsenal.

At this moment Alfie was sitting in a restaurant eating with James and Luna having a pretty heavy and hefty breakfast.

Even now James had the mindset to have alcohol even this early, but Alfie just got himself coffee, a change of pace for once.

James sat with him drinking, asking Alfie about his night activities, Luna was playing with Alfie's hand which was waving around her as she tried to bite it.

Till this day the military is still probably interrogating Zola, even if he started talking now it would take some time to really get all the information they can for a plan.

Where, when, how's and a bunch of things Alfie wouldn't wanna spend doing.

Then after gathering everything they can, there still needs to be a gathering and another days and night of planning and operation of attack.

And it won't just be an attack, it will be the start of the final battle in this world wide war.

The three left soon after paying as a lot of plebeians were bothered by Luna.

But just about a few minutes in their walk all three felt watched.

It was more confirmed when Luna started growling.

"Alfie." James grunted.

"I know, just keep walking for now this is nothing new to us." Alfie said.

Luna was just about to turn to the direction of the watcher and start baring her teeth when Alfie just wrapped his arms around her and picked her up carrying her like a baby.

Luna whined but Alfie just demanded her to stop, surprisingly it worked considering how wolfs are, let alone a mother wolf.

After some more time the feeling of being watched still hasn't disappeared, so Alfie and the others just took a turn in one of the alley ways.

Because everything seems to happen there.

Walking in Alfie put Luna down as she started baring her teeth and got down ready to jump looking at the street side.

James had his hands inside his pockets but he was more than ready.

As the three faced the alley way to the street they saw someone started walking towards them on the other hand.

A full grey coat on and a hat to cover their face.

The fact that this person was just casually walking to them and slowly even showed their confidence.

"Haha, is it the Hand?" Alfie asked with a smirk.

"No, this one smells different, it...it's-" James paused as if something he didn't expect to appear.

Alfie looked at him waiting for him to say what was up.

By the time James huffed out and said what was on his mind, the person already appeared in front of them and looked up.

"...it's a woman.." James said, what he found more weird is that he didn't sense any intents to fight from this woman.

And he could tell she wasn't normal.

Luna was still baring her teeth growling.

Alfie on the other hand had his eyebrows scrunched up in confusion.

Because the woman was extremely familiar yet he couldn't find out where he had seen her.

"Hi." She said.

"You must be the American Wolf, Mr.McBride?" She asked.

The reason Alfie recognized her is because he has seen her, in fact more than a few times and she should be imprinted in his mind.

Yet he just couldn't put a finger on where he has seen her

It was Gal Gadot.

Wonder Woman in the series of DC movies in Alfie's previous life.

And he has seen the movie a hundred times yet now in this life, the memory of her face seemed to have disappeared, only the feeling of familiarity.

Even when he grew up and started to look like Joe Manganiello, he didn't realize it.

The fact that the famous Gal Gadot and him looking like Joe Manganiello was not ringing any bell was a sign that his mind has been tampered with or something close to it.

Seeing her gave Alfie the feeling of closure as well, as if she was someone he has known to an intimate level with.

Alfie's mind came back when James elbowed him, thinking Alfie was probably starstruck as his stare at the woman was a bit…

"Uh sorry?" Alfie asked again.

"You are Mr.McBride, are you not?" She asked.

"Oh yes, yes I am...I mean who are you?" Alfie asked.

He didn't know why he was acting like that, as he was not starstrucked or anything, but he felt so...open.

Since she came this woman has donned a smile that wasn't leaving anytime soon.

She darted her eyes back and forth on Alfie and James, as well as Luna with a hidden excitement.

"I am called Selena, Princess Selena of Deliosa, daughter of Metisia." Selena said confidently.

Alfie's mind was going rapid looking for Marvel terms such as "Deliosa", "Metisia", and even the name "Selena."

In his head it was a bunch of bullshitt, because none of them was ever in Marvel let alone the MCU.

And the fact that she had a speech pattern and talks like Wonder Woman is more crazy.

Luna was still baring her fangs and growling.

"Why is she talking like that?" Was all James could say.

"I'm sorry but what?" Alfie said standing still.

"I said I am Selena, Princess Selena of Delio-"

"I know what you said, I'm just...what?!" Alfie said, lost again.

Where the fuck was Deliosa? Who the fuck is Metisia? There were a whole bunch of questions in Alfie's mind now.

Was there a wonder woman rip off in this universe?

Before they can proceed to anything else, Selena went and kneeled next to the still growling Luna and pet her.

Which got a bark from her.

But after a few head pets Luna surprisingly calmed down and started moving forward against Selena for more intimate pets.

"Awww what a beautiful creature you are." Selena said as she played with Luna.

"Yeah, I'm sold, she is definitely a princess." James said.

"What's her name?" She turned to the two.

"Luna." James spoke up for Alfie since he was too busy...standing.

"Hello Luna, I am Selena, your fur is as beautiful as snow itself." She said to Luna who had taken upon herself to lick her now like a dog.

"Hmm, I didn't think she was ever that friendly." James muttered remembering Luna always growling at everyone who wasn't him or Alfie.

Alfie finally shook his chaotic mind and came to the kneeling Selena and grabbed Luna's head before pulling her back.

Selena stood back up facing Alfie.

She was a few inches shorter than Alfie's 6'3 standing at 5'10.

She looked calm and smiled at Alfie, while Alfie looked a bit troubled.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Alfie couldn't help but feel that there are mind games in the works here.

The fact that there was so much he felt about her yet still don't recognize her, and her similar identity to Wonder Woman.

Did she mess with Luna's mind as well?

"I have told you who I am." Selena said.

"Fine, what about what you want?" Alfie said.

Selena finally dropped her smile, she had some thoughts before she spoke.

"I want to fight alongside the Allies against HYDRA." She said.

••••••••••••••••

In Howard Stark's mansion Alfie and the others arrived, choosing the place to have a ait and talk properly.

Howard wasn't here and was already off busying himself with his toys.

James went to the kitchen already doing what he does when relaxing.

Alfie sat on one side of the couch while Selena sat on the other couch facing him.

Luna jumped up the couch and laid her head on Selena's head which she happily massaged.

Alfie wanted to yell out the term "traitor" but he needed to be serious now.

Apparently this Selena is from a Marvel version of DC's Themyscira.

The Amazonians, she was the daughter of Metisia the queen of Deliosa, an island full of women.

A group of warriors from the Greek mythologies.

Alfie hadn't done any research on this world's mythologies since he didn't think much of it, but now it seems like there was more to look into.

The only difference between Selena and Diana of Themyscira was that she wasn't the daughter of Zeus.

Or at least she hasn't said anything of it.

She said that a few weeks ago, a few ships landed in Deliosa, which was supposed to be invisible and unreacheable to the rest of the world, and brigades of HYDRA soldiers invaded their peaceful island.

She didn't know what their purpose was but some of her people have gotten hurt and even this Queen Metisia has been wounded.

Selena along with a couple of her fellow sisters took a boat to the states using the technologies of the now dead HYDRA to look for allies.

But so far everyone they met were pretty arrogant and told them off.

But Selena sooner or later heard of the so-called Captain America and the Deathstroke.

And so again she and her sisters sailed here with more hope that these two heroes could be of help to comply and let them fight the HYDRA with them together.

As they sat down and talk Alfie cleared up any reason why he shouldn't trust her.

She was a bit straightforward, and that seemed like a reason to trust but Alfie was not stupid.

She was pretty, that was for sure but that wouldn't break his defenses.

An hour later Alfie got most of his questions out and was relieved of some things.

That the Greek gods are closed off or in hibernation so they won't be involved much in the mortal world.

The Norse was enough, the God of Mischief was enough, another pantheon and the world just wouldn't be able to handle much.

But Alfie felt worried since a daughter of the Greeks have landed on planet earth and is now going to participate in the Game of Stones.

More chaos.

Alfie since then moved onto more personal questions, like how old she was.

Selena said she was more than 500 years old but that was all she was gonna say.

They were about to progress more when someone barged through the door making Luna bark at the doors direction.

A man ran in panting hard, looking around for Alfie.

It was Fitz.

With a look of unwillingness he ran up to the couch Alfie sat on and got down on his knees.

"You- you gotta help them!!" Fitz said, panicking.

"Help who? Don't be rude, don't you see I'm talking to miss...Selena?" Alfie said.

"Selena, Selena Gord." Selena said her full name.

"I- I don't care, Mack, Coulson, Daisy, they are captured and they need help." Fitz said quickly.

"You don't care? If you don't care about what I'm doing, what makes you think I will care about your worries?" Alfie said looking at Fitz.

"You!! How could you be-..YOU HEARTLESS…" Fitz couldn't handle it anymore losing his patience and pounced on Alfie gripping his shirt yelling at him.

Luna would have ripped off Fitz's throat if Selena wasn't holding and consoling her.

"It seems you have urgent matters to attend to.

I will go back home and gather my sisters shortly, from how our talk went I assume you can vouch for us in the war?" Selena stood and said to Alfie.

Alfie stood up as well before nodding and shaking her hand ignoring Fitz's hand still on his collars.

He had no rights to make this kind of move and bring civilians in warzone, but who the hell was he?

He was Alfie McBride, and he was the friend of the Chief General Dwight Eisenhower.

Selena bend down and kissed Luna on the head before heading out.

And like instinct, Alfie couldn't help but look at the back when she bend down.

But he didn't see anything due to the big ass coat.
