At a gladitorial stadium, one chained slave is brought out to face an army
of ancient Greek soldiers--only she is victorious, even deflecting a volley
of arrows with the shackles on her wrists. Her victory is interrupted by the
screech of twin jets.

While chasing a rogue pilot, over the Atlantic Ocean, Steve Rogers watches
it disappear into thin ear--until he enters an invisible field and runs into
a flying monster and parachutes to safety while the monster chases the his
damaged plane. Rogers is stuck in a tree until flies in and rescues
him--keeping him from touching foot on Themyscira, or else die like the
other pilot.

She flies him back to the USA where she "deals" with the flying monster--and
she becomes a media darling. After getting the celebrity "treatment"--from
coverage in news papers, news magazines, news channels, Larry King, David
Letterman, touring sights, such as Mount Rushmore, The Statue of Liberty,
the Greek-influenced Washington DC monuments, to an intriguing Smithsonian
display of a plane so stealthy that it's nicknamed "The Invisible Jet"--she
finds out the monster was female, and had left eggs in New York harbor,
leading to a final battle.
