Description
Gimme Shelter
At DMA headquarters, Sarge Steel plays a couple of advertisements for Athenian Women's Help Shelters for Diana Prince and Nemesis. The ads show abused women being inspired by Wonder Woman to find help and take control of their lives, sometimes going a little too far. Steel sends Diana and Nemesis to check out the shelter, as it's the closest thing they have to a lead in their search for Wonder Woman. Diana meets with Allison Addison, the woman in charge of the shelter, who explains that the only link they have to Wonder Woman is that she was personally inspired by her example. As they talk, a woman urgently calls for help, and Diana flies off to help her. As Wonder Woman, she arrives at the address she overheard and breaks through the wall. She grabs the man, threatens him, chokes him, and throws him through the door to the front lawn, where he begs for the police to arrest him. Later at DMA headquarters, Diana reports that there is no connection between the shelter and Wonder Woman. Elsewhere, a bailiff brings the abusive man's lawyer to meet with his client, and they find him quite dead and splattered all over the room.
