Chapter 1: The Robbery and Time Travel

Wonder Woman received the invitation through the Amazon Embassy. She was invited to attend, as the guest of honor, the One Hundred and Forty Second Anniversary of the Southern Deposit Bank's robbery by the James-Younger Gang. Her first question was why? Why would they invite her to the re-enactment and celebration of a bank robbery? She fought crime and would have arrested the 6 men. The Embassy said it was in the Amazon's best interest for her to attend.

So here she was, outside the bank that was credited as being the second robbery committed by Frank and Jesse James. She had been greeted by the Mayor and City Council of Russellville like a visiting Queen. They had provided the nicest room in the hotel for her and a banquet had been given in her honor the night before. Now the reenactment was about to begin and she and the Mayor entered the bank together to observe.

Two men stood behind the counter acting as bank tellers, They were both dressed in shirt and pants with string ties, vests and green eyeshades like the ones worn by card dealers in casino's or bank tellers over one hundred years ago. Wonder Woman and the Mayor stood at the counter against the wall and waited with the crowd of visitors.

Suddenly the doors were flung open and 5 men entered the bank, while another could be seen outside on his horse watching the street. One of the men approached the counter and asked a teller for change for a bill, the James –Younger Gang's method of starting a bank robbery, and when the teller opened his drawer, the man pulled his pistol.

"All right, put all the money is this bag and no one gets hurt," he said. Wonder Woman watched the acting with a smile but one of the men was keeping an eye on her and she began to get suspicious. She started to step forward and the man who had been keeping an eye on her, and happened to be the great-great grandson of Jessie James, pulled what looked like a kid's space ray gun and a green beam came from it, striking her in the chest. The gun was preprogrammed to send her to a specific point back in time and suddenly her vision swam as if the scene before her was changing and then it stopped.

She looked around, she was still in the bank, 5 men were still robbing it, but there was no crowd watching and no Mayor beside her. One of the outlaw actors saw her,

"Where did you come from and where's yer clothes?" he said. Wonder Woman took another look, these weren't the actors that had been robbing the bank! The one at the counter looked like Jesse James himself! "Great Hera," she thought, "what is going on?" Before she could think about it, or recover from the shock of seeing a Jesse James look alike, the barrel of a pistol was brought against her temple. She sank to her knees as she fought to remain conscious but another blow with the pistol to her head and she sprawled to the floor, unconscious.

"Dammit Cole, what'd ya go and do that for?" Frank James asked Cole Younger.

"I dunno Frank, it seemed the right thing to do," Younger responded.

"Well take that there gold rope offn her gold belt and tie her up. Think we'll take her with us," Jesse said.

"Sure thing, Jesse," Younger responded and knelt to remove the magic lasso from Wonder Woman's belt. "Give me a hand, would ya, George?" George Shepherd moved to Younger's side and the two men secured Wonder Woman with the lasso. Following the procedure from the Liberty, MO robbery, their first, the tellers were placed in the vault. With Younger's help, Shepherd got Wonder Woman slung over his shoulder and the 5 men exited the bank. Shepherd quickly threw Wonder Woman over his horse and mounted. The others were in saddle and awaiting him. They proceeded to race out of town and into the surrounding countryside. People rushed to the bank to see what had happened and the bank president showed up and opened the vault to release the two tellers.

Several hours later, ensuring they were not being followed, the 6 men rode up to George and Nancy Hite's residence near Adairsville KY. They had fled here after the robbery in Lexington, MO as Nancy was a sister to the James boy's father. Their aunt had provided them with shelter but they had gotten to the point of needing money so had rode to Russellville. Cole Younger moved to Shepherd's horse after dismounting and Shepherd helped him get Wonder Woman onto his shoulder and off Shepherds horse. The crazy woman had regained consciousness and when he noticed her lift her head, Shepherd had again struck her with his pistol. She had been knocked unconscious 3 times after leaving the bank.

Frank James had opened the door to the house and Jesse entered with the sack of money and Cole with their prisoner.

"Take her upstairs and put her on the bed in the first room on the right," Frank told Cole. "Then come to the kitchen and help Jesse and me with the money." Frank moved through the house and into the kitchen, where Jesse had dumped the sack and was now sorting the money. Frank sat in another chair and began to help. Their aunt entered the kitchen, looked at her nephews and all the money on her table, then crossed to the stove to get a pot of coffee going.

Outside the other 3 members were taking care of the horses and discussing their prisoner.

"Where'd she come from, was she in the bank?" Jim White asked the others. He had been the lookout outside the bank.

"No, one second there was nobody in the bank but us and the 2 tellers and the next she was standing there," George Shepherd answered.

"Yeah, and next second Cole had pistol whipped her and she was unconscious on the floor," John Jarrett added.

"Never seen anyone dressed as skimpy as her," Shepherd said. "Even the whores in the saloons and brothels wear more than that."

"Yeah, you see her ass was naked, only that string of material in her ass crack?" Jarrett asked. "Them there titties of hers is the biggest I ever done seen."

"Well," Jim White said, "I hope when Frank, Jesse and Cole are done with her, we get our shot at the big tit whore."

Inside the house the three men had the money counted and segregated into shares for the 6 men and a 7^th for their aunt Nancy and her husband for providing them shelter. They were also discussing their prisoner upstairs as Nancy Hite listened.

"Damndest thing how she just all of a sudden popped up there," Cole Younger said. "I mean one minute she wasn't there and the next she is."

"Well she has very little clothes on so I figure she must be some kind of whore," Jesse said.

"I agree with little brother," Frank said. "She must be a whore and with those huge titties she has, I figure we should partake of her services, for free of course."

"That's one hell of an idea, big brother," Jesse said. "Did you see that magnificent ass of hers when she was over George's horse? Not a damn thing covering it, just that string of cloth through the crack of her ass. Makes a body wonder if that's her specialty, giving up her ass to fuck. Aunt Nancy, go up and check on our guest and see if she's awake yet, I think we need to talk to her." Nancy Hite climbed the stairs and entered the room. Wonder Woman lay bound on the bed, glaring at her.

"In the name of the Goddess Hera, I demand you release me woman!" she demanded. Wonder Woman took in the woman's dress as she made her demands. "Who wears gingham dresses with a hem sweeping the floor?" she thought. "Where in the name of Hera am I?" Nancy turned and left the room. In the living room she picked up one of the three books on the shelf and went into the kitchen as she opened it.

"What's that Mrs. Hite?" Cole asked.

"A book on the Greek and Roman gods and goddesses and the mythology surrounding them. The whore is awake and said she demanded to be released in the name of Hera. Here she is, Hera was the Queen of Heaven and the wife of the King, Zeus, and was believed to be the protector of women. Guess that's why she called on her to help in her release. Says here she was the Greeks belief while the Romans called her Juno," she answered.

"Don't care what she says," Frank stated. "C'mon Jesse, Cole, let's go talk to the whore." The 3 men went up to the room and looked at the trussed up woman. Wonder Woman stared at them as she took in their dress. Boots, pants, shirts, vests and bandanas around their neck with crossed gun belts around their waists. The one she would swear was the spitting image of pictures she had seen of Jesse James, had another gun in a shoulder holster. These men really looked like authentic Old West outlaws, what was going on?

"Okay whore, I want some answers before we use your services," Frank said.

"You cannot speak to me like that, I am Wonder Woman and I demand to be released," she replied. The Jesse James look alike slapped her.

"You keep your mouth shut whore," he said. "You speak only to answer a question and you make no demands." Unknown to the men Wonder Woman felt the magic lasso begin to work on her. She was tied up by man and so helpless, but now she had been commanded by man and felt the lasso compel her to speak the truth.
