Synopsis for "Loveless, Part Four"
Virginia, Wonder Woman's apartment
In grief for the end of her relationship with Steve, Diana asks herself if their story together would have ended anyway, even if Love still existed. While she lays desperate in bed, she realizes that she's just taking an excuse: an Amazon cannot despair and, in times of need like this, must rise and fight: if Love does not exist anymore, the memory of it does, and it must suffice. Donning her armor, Diana prepares to fight, and then finds a package left from Veronica Cale: keeping her promise and closing their deal, her enemy gave her the means to break the link between the Cheetah and her formidable weapon, the God Killer sword.
Washington D.C., not long afterward
Cheetah is searching for the gateway that will allow her to get to Themyscira, to punish the people who rejected her: as Diana finds her, she once again tells her that what she brought upon the world, the loss of Love, could have been avoided if the Amazons accepted her into their ranks when she asked for it. Now, she will take what she wants by force. Trying to hide the fact that she owns a weapon able to neutralize Cheetah's link with the blade, Diana starts the fight and lures Barbara into her trap, then pouring the serum on the God Killer. But instead of breaking the genetic link the blade has with the Cheetah, the serum enhanced the blade's power: Veronica betrayed Diana, as she was an ally of Cheetah from the start. They plotted about Veronica stunning her with the neuro-toxin and revealing to Diana about Lex Luthor's machinations on the sword, so that Wonder Woman will trust her to produce a "counter-serum" to Lex's tech.
Now impotent and in the hands of the Cheetah, Diana must tell her how to access her rightful place, the Island of Themyscira, so that she can have her revenge. Or she can choose to die at the hands of Barbara and her God Killer sword.
