I was ecstatic!  I had been working as an architect for two years now and had finally got my big break.  A Japanese company was wanting to build a new facility in Italy.  They had seen my work and wanted me to design their buildings!    If they liked my designs my commission would be  $250,000!  I packed my bags and equipment and was on my way to Italy when disaster struck.

The private jet that the company sent for me started having engine problems over the Mediterranean Sea.  The pilot radioed for help and attempted a water landing.  As the plane skipped across the water it started to break apart and then everything went dark.

I woke up on my back on a beach.  My body ached all over and i had cuts and scratches all over my body.  I also had a throbbing headache centered over my left eye.  I walked down to the waters edge and looked at my reflection.  I had a large contusion just above my left eyebrow that was crusted with dried blood.  I looked around and walked up and down the beach a couple of times looking for any wreckage from the plane that might of washed up on the beach.  I found nothing.  After a couple of hours i noticed a dull throbbing pain in my left side.  I lifted my shirt and saw a large deep bruise.  Great.  I'm probably bleeding inside.  Where are the justice league when you need them?  I decided to walk inland to see if i could find some fresh water to drink.  As i walked the pain in my side got worse and worse.  When i broke through the tree line the scene i saw was like one from a science fiction movie.  I saw a woman and a young girl cornered at the base of a cliff, boxed in by a twelve foot tall man dressed in furs and wielding a club.  With the pain in my side i thought i was delirious with fever until the giant roared and swung a vast overhead blow at the two people in front of it.  The woman scooped the girl up in her arms and rolled out of the way of the strike.  Sand and gravel blasted out from the impact with enough force to sting my face and i was 40 feet away!  I saw that the woman had some sort of blade hanging from her waist but was too busy protecting the child to use it.  I was at a loss on what to do.  I was in too much pain to charge at the brute so i looked around for something to throw at it.  I saw a fist sized rock and grabbed it.  I hefted it a coulpe of times to test its weight and then i stepped out of the brush and yelled,  "HEY!  Pick on somebody your own size!  You overgrown pile of sh....?"  i trailed off dumbstruck at what i saw as the giant turned to face me.  He only had one large  eye in the center of its face!  The thing roared at me and charged me.  Its charge broke me from my shock and i threw the rock with all my might at its face!  My side erupted in pain as ai felt a tearing sensation as i threw the rock.  As i collapsed to my knees in pain i saw my rock fly harmlessly past its face.  The thing lumbered up to me and raised its club above its head and readied my death blow.  Clutching my side and blinking tears of pain out of my eyes i looked at him and said under my breath, "Go to hell."

It started laughing at me and tensed its muscles to deliver the strike when 4 arrows sprouted out of its chest and the woman that i saw from before buried her blade to its hilt in the monster's kidneys.  I stared dumbfounded at it as it toppled to the ground on my left.  I brought my gaze up to look at the woman with the blade, coughed a tearing type of cough and toppled to the ground unconscious.

When i woke up i was lying in a bed in a candle lit room.  I turned my head and saw 4 plain white stone walls and an end table next to the bed i was in with an earthen pitcher on it.  I was staring at the pitcher wondering if it had water in it when i heard a voice from the door.  I turned to look and saw the girl from before walk up to my bed side and pick up a cloth off the table, poured some water on it and laid it across my forehead.

"Thank you."  i said in a horse whisper.

She replied in a language i didn't recognize and poured me a clay cup full of water.  She helped me take a couple of sips. I said thank you again and laid my head down on my pillow and passed out again.

I woke up some time later and saw that it was day time.  I felt a heavy sensation in my side and it was hard to breathe.  I was covered in sweat but felt cold. This time i saw a woman enter my room.  She walked over to the side of my bed and took the washcloth off my forehead, rewetted it and wiped the sweat from my face.  I didn't have the strength to do anything this time but stare at the woman with half opened eyes.  I must have blacked out for awhile because the woman was no longer in my field of vision but i heard voices at the foot of my bed and it sounded like they were arguing.  I turned my head and saw two women having an animated discussion.  One of the women had a spear in one hand and pointed at me with her other hand.  I was staring at the two of them not understanding a word they said.  Just as i was closing my eyes to pass out again i caught the same little girl from before peeking in through the doorway.  I managed to smile a little at the girl before darkness washed over me again.

When i woke up again i was wracked with pain and sweating profusely.  i felt someone raise my head and i saw an earthenware cup being brought up to my mouth.  The liquid inside was thick and syrupy looking with glowing silver sparkles floating in it.  I was made to drink the entire contents of the cup.  A pleasant feeling of warmth radiated through my body as i blacked out once again.  The difference this time was instead of being a restless fever filled unconsciousness i was sleeping peacefully for the first time since the crash.

When i woke up i felt very, very tired but i was in no pain.  I was so tired i could barely even move.  About all could manage was to turn my head from side to side.

"Ah, you are finally awake!"  a woman seated next to my bed said.

"Wh..what happened?"  i asked in a scratchy whisper.  "Why does my voice sound funny?"  i also asked in that same whisper.  I have been sick before and my voice never sounded as different as it did now.

"There is no need to worry.  It is just our medicine that we gave you that is affecting your voice."  she explained.

The woman was wearing the same type of clothes that everyone i had seen so far had been wearing, a plain knee length toga drawn in with a belt and metal bracelets on her wrists.  The only person I'd seen so far since my crash that wasn't wearing bracelets had been the girl that i had seen off and on.  Thinking about the girl reminded me.  "That woman and girl that were being attacked by that...thing.  Are they ok?"  i whispered.

The woman smiled at me and said.  "Yes, the two that you saved are all right and it was that selfless act of distracting the cyclops that ultimately saved your life."

In response to my puzzled look she said.  "We debated for two days while you laid dying as too what to do to you.  You see, we are a closed society, separate from humanity and our cures don't work on outsiders without consequences.  We finally let our seer inspect you to determine if you were truly worthy of the gifts our cure would bestow upon you.  The seer saw your soul and deemed you worthy."  she explained.

With that, she held out a mirror made of polished steel and showed me my reflection.  What greeted me in the mirror was the image of a tired looking woman of significant beauty with long auburn hair,  green eyes and a mouth with full, sensuous lips.  Stunned, i looked at the woman holding the mirror and passed out from the shock.

When i woke up i was alone in my room.  I was clear headed and relaxed.  I still felt very weak though.  I saw the pitcher of water next to my bed and reached out for the pitcher.  I levered my self on my left elbow and pour the cup full with my right.  I was on my second gulp of water when i froze.  I lowered my hand from my face and looked at it closely.  It was toned, but rounder and more delicate than i remembered it.   With a gasp i set the cup down and sat blot upright on the bed.  The covers fell down to my waist and i looked down at my chest and saw my very womanly breasts!  I quickly pulled my sheets up to cover my front and thought.  "OH MY GOD!!  I didn't dream that conversation!  I'm a woman now!"  

I was a 24 year old man when i crashed!  Now i was a woman.  Is this the 'gift' that woman was talking about?

"My god!  Where am i?"  i said.   'my' voice back to normal now.

"You are in Themeyscara young one."  a voice said from the door.

I quickly turned my head to see who had spoken.  I saw a tall, regal looking blode woman wearing a floor length toga.

"Hello, i am Hypolata, the ruler of Themeyscara and i am here to explain what has happened."  she explained.  Two servants came in with her.  One carrying some folded clothes and one carrying another chair.  The servants arraigned the chairs by a window, set the clothes on the foot of my bed and left the room.  Hypolata then took a blanket from my bed and held it up as a partition for me.  "Go ahead, and put these clothes on."  she said gently.

I picked up the toga and stood up behind the partition and while in the process of pulling the toga over my head and i paused to look at my body.  I looked down at my full breasts, they looked like a solid c-cup and looked perfect.  I leaned forward and saw the rest of my body.  I saw my flat stomach and shapely hips and legs.  It was just too much to take in.  I quickly finished pulling the toga on and sat down on the edge of my bed, put my head in my hands and started crying.  The Queen wordlessly sat down next to me and draped her arm around my shoulders and comforted me until my crying stopped.

"I'm sorry ma'am, i'm not sure what brought that on."  i said as she guided me to one of the chairs.

"Nothing to apologize about."  she said with a gentle smile.

"Why have you done this to me?  Why am i a woman now."  i asked, sounding hurt.

"Child, there was no other way to save your life.  Our society is composed of only women.  We are the amazons of greek legend, created by Zeus and we are the army of olympus."  she said.  She spent the next half hour going over Themescara's history and society.

"But how does all that explain why i'm a woman now."  i asked wearily.

"Because Amazons are not human.  We do not age or get sick.  We can only die due to violence.  Therfore our medicines are geared totally towards the healing of wounds.  Because the potions are magical in nature they effect mortals differently than they do amazons.  The magic of the potions seeks out the cause of the hurt andif t e person that takes the potion detects they aren't an amazon and 'heals' that too."  Hypolata explained.

She continued, "Normally, any outsiders found on our island are captured and taken off the island.  When my warriors found you you were already confronting the cyclops that you saw getting ready to kill two of my subjects.  Your selfless actions put us in your debt.  Especially when you did what you did with the grievous injuries you had sustained in your crash from the airplane that you were in.  So, you may not think of your new gender a blessing at this time but in addition to being immortal the potion gifted with gifts even beyond normal amazons.  You should be able to lift around 10 or 20 tons, fly and are greatly resistant to harm."  she said while laying a hand on my leg.

"Super strong?  Fly?"  i stammered.

"Yes, my daughter is going to pick you up and take you home in six months.  That should be enough time for you to earn your bracelets."  she said.

"Daughter?  What are the bracelets for?"  i asked.

"Well, the bracelets let you deflect arrows, or anything else shot at you and my daughters name is Diana.  You may know her better as wonder woman."  she said with pride.

My jaw almost hit the floor with that proclamation but before i could say anything she said,  "She also told me to tell you that a friend of hers was going to arrange a new identity and name for you."  She said.

Still not sure if was dreaming i asked,  "Which friend?"

"She said his name was Batman."  she answered.  "now, you need to get back into bed and lay back down.  Even with the potion healing you your body still needs to recover.  I shall have food sent to you when you wake up.  If you feel strong enough feel free to explore the city.  Just don't over exert your self, OK?"  she said.

As i was crawling into bed i nodded my head yes and she walked out of the room and shut the door.  I pulled the covers to my chin and thought about everything Hypolata had told me.  If it wasn't happening to me i wouldn't believe it.  Glancing at the door i lifted the sheets with one hand and cupped a breast with the other.  Oh my god!  They're sensitive!  After a few minutes of fondling i hesitated for only a moment before my hand went between my legs.  It only took a couple of seconds of stroking before i went to orgasmic heights i didn't know were possible!  A few minutes later my breathing calmed down and i fell asleep.

I woke up feeling refreshed the next morning.  I put my toga on and tentatively opened the door and looked out into the hallway.  There was a red head dozing in a chair that was balance against the wall.  She was dressed in a plain toga that she was wearing a boiled leather breastplate and a heavy leather skirt over it.  She also had a gladius strapped to her side.

Upon hearing my door swing open she looked at me and said,  "S'bout time you woke up!  I thought you were going to sleep the day away."  with a good natured smile on her face.

"I was tempted."  i said returning the smile.

She took me for a tour of the city.  The city was straight out of a history textbook.  White marble building in classic greek style.  one of the buildings was the public baths.  It was incredibly embarrassing going to the public baths.  I was still unfamiliar with my new body and then add to the fact i felt like i was a peeping tom looking into the baths.  After i was clean the embarrassment was a small price to pay.

The city was spectacular.  It was all classic Greek styling.  There was no running water in any of the buildings except for the bath house.  The library was useless to me however as i could not read even a single word of greek.

A couple of days later my training started.  Over the course of six months i was taught to use defensive bracelets, spears, gladius and hand to hand combat.  The training was very vigorous and would have pushed me to utter exhaustion had my new body not been super strong.
