Steve Trevor accidentally arrives on Themyscira after his plane is shot down by a mysterious group and meets the Amazons. The Amazons debate on what they should do and realize they need to send a Champion to Earth to defeat Ares. Queen Hippolyta decides to send in Diana Prince after she successfully parries Steve Trevor's bullets. When they head back to Earth, police decide to put Wonder Woman in a cell until they know what to do with her, and Steve Trevor meets Lieutenant Candy Etta to debrief on her.
Diana Prince does not know how to speak English so she starts talking Greek, and Etta sends in Barbara Minevra to translate for her. In the past, it was revealed that Barbara Minevra was a struggling archaeologist who tried to find Themiscyra but failed. Wonder Woman realizes that her Lasso of Truth allows her to communicate with Etta, Barbara, and Steve and at a mall when The Sear Group (same group who shot down Steve Trevor's plane) attack, but Wonder Woman and Steve help apprehend them.
Wonder Woman tells Steve that she can not go home and while debriefing in front of the group, Ares attacks. Wonder Woman willingly surrenders in front of Ares, and manages to defeat him in a sneak attack. Her actions across Washington DC make the public know her and refer to her as "Wonder Woman".
