She smiled and made her way over to him by the fountain, causing various heads to jerk and turn she was sure they’d have whiplash. Lex. somewhere around the one month mark they had opted to drop the little pretense they had left and simply call each other by their names.
“Diana. Just when I thought you couldn’t be more beautiful, you show up like this.”
She smiled, glad her venture to buy the dress had been successful. “It seems we’ve finished our list of hobbies, in your favor.”
“I’ve had more practice with this world than you have. In time, I’m sure you’ll be beating me at everything we attempt.”
“It was a most enjoyable series of endeavors that I doubt I would ever have attempted had you not agreed.”
“I can say the same. I don’t think I ever would’ve attempted to build a model in my life.”
“I doubt I would have either.” she smiled. “I’m sure we can come up with a list of other new experiences…” she stared at him.
“Of course. I’ve already been creating one.”
“Do tell.” she carefully sat on the edge of the fountain.
He sat down beside her. “There’s a myriad of different things we could try. I’ve always wanted to try painting or sculpting. I would think that you may have the edge in that.”
“You’ve given me quite the tour of Metropolis, but I still have yet to see where you live. Your office doesn’t count.”
He smiled and nodded. “Very well. After dinner, we’ll have dessert at my place.”
“I believe it’s your pick for dinner since I chose last time.”
He nodded. “Indeed, but I think I’ve changed my plans.”
“Oh?”
“I was planning on taking you out to dinner, but I think that since you want to see where I live, maybe we have dinner at my place tonight.”
She smiled and stood “Your lead.”
He stood and offered his hand, leading her back to his car and helping her inside. As they drove away, they were completely oblivious to the shadowy figure perched on the rooftop above them.
It can’t be possible the voice inside the cowled head said. He took off behind them, going from rooftop to rooftop while he pursued the car. The car pulled into the driveway of a manor that gave Wayne Manor a run for its money. This must be where he lives. I can’t believe Diana is going to Luthor’s house.
They stopped on the doorstep and Diana paused in curiosity as she stared up Lex?
Wordlessly, he leaned down and caught her in a slow kiss. Her eyes widened for a moment in surprise. She hadn’t kissed anyone since Bruce and their sparing session and that hardly counted since it wasn’t returned. This was warm, slow, tender even. She closed her eyes and responded in kind.
His eyes widened behind the lenses as he looked at the scene. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Diana… Wonder Woman… kissing Lex Luthor on the stoop of his mansion. He brought his fist down hard on the ledge of the roof he was perched on and turned away as the door opened. He headed back to a secluded spot to teleport to the Watchtower… to try to forget.
Diana stepped out of the mansion with a smile, brushing a lock of hair out of her face. The moon was up now and the air was cool and felt good against her flushed skin. She walked down the drive, listening to the sound of her own heels echoing in the secluded area. A few yards down she took to the air and flew until she was just inside the city limits, far enough away from the mansion.
Her heart was still racing as she called for a teleport and appeared back on the Watchtower. She stepped outside the teleporter room and nearly smacked into the kevlar chest.
“Look what the cat dragged back in.”
Her brows drew together “Excuse me?”
“Back from your date?”
She nodded “Yes.”
“How did it go after the kiss?”
Diana paled “What?”
He glared at her. He knew she couldn’t see his eyes, but she could read his face. “I saw you two.”
“You were following me? Why?” her eyes held hurt and anger.
“I was worried about you” he said truthfully. “We don’t talk anymore and I wanted to see if you were doing alright.”
She scowled slightly “You could have asked here. You followed me on a date that you had no right there.”
“If I had asked, would you have told me?”
She paused “That I was finally finding some happiness again.”
“Would you have told me it was with Lex Luthor?”
“I don’t know.”
“I don’t think you would have. I had to know what was going on.”
Her eyes narrowed again and she stiffened “Why? Because it wasn’t you? It has nothing to do with you and you should’ve stayed out of it. You had a chance Bruce. I’m finally moving on and you have to try and tear it apart.”
“It’s not the fact that you’re moving on. It’s who you’re moving on with.”
“You don’t know him.”
“Don’t I? I don’t know Lex Luthor? The man who’s tried to destroy Superman and the Justice League?”
“Not like I do.”
“Apparently not” he said with a scowl.
“What does that mean?” she scowled back.
“What do you think it means?”
“I have no idea.”
“Don’t play innocent with me Diana. I saw you go into his house, and after that kiss…” he let it hang.
She couldn’t believe what he was insinuating. Yes, she cared for Lex and found him attractive but she was an Amazon, raised with the highest respect for her purity. How low he thought of her when she still respected him. What a fool she was. She swallowed hard as her eyes grew wet “You’re a real asshole Bruce. I’m a virgin.”
“For now” he said lowly.
Before she could stop herself she lashed out, slapping him hard “Do not insult my honor!”
He stepped back from the force of the slap. “And how honorable is it to strike a teammate?”
“Now who’s playing innocent. I’m warning you Bruce, stay out of my way. You’ve insulted me once already. Next time it won’t just be a slap. Now get out of my way.”
“I will not stand idly by and watch you consort with the enemy.”
“You don’t have a choice.” Diana moved to brush him aside.
“You’re spitting on what we believe in as the Justice League.”
She snorted “Drop it.”
“Tell that to the rest of the League. If you can.”
“In the same way that you’ve told them about your many times ‘consorting’ with Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman? A known thief and liar? Or Talia Al Ghoul?” she glared.
The world knows who you are, and the world knows who he is.”
“You have a ridiculous double standard going. It must be nice.” she growled through clenched teeth.
“You’re one to talk. Why don’t you go ask Clark how he feels about it.”
“Because it’s none of his business. Or yours. For some reason that I still don’t understand, you two have been harping obsessively about this even before you knew it was Lex. Why don’t you do something useful and go build a simulation like Flash has if you’re so obsessed with me and what I do with my body.”
He shook his head sadly. “You don’t get it Diana. We care about you.”
“If you cared, you would have respected my privacy and let me have my happiness that you wouldn’t give me.”
The remark struck him harder than the slap. “That’s not fair Diana. I never wanted you to be unhappy.”
“No? Doesn’t seem that way from where I’m standing. You’ve attacked my honor more than once in this conversation and apparently believe I’m either naive or stupid or otherwise incapable of making a decent judgment call in matters of..” she trailed off, realizing where her statement was leading and giving away and glared instead.
“We’re not your enemies Diana” he said softly. “We’re not trying to ruin your life.”
“Just…go.” she sighed. “If you want to tell Kal, go ahead. I don’t care anymore.”
He shook his head. “You tell him. You look him in the eyes and tell him that you’re seeing someone that’s tried to kill him.” He turned and walked toward the monitoring womb.
Diana sighed and collected herself, before moving towards the cafeteria where Clark was dining. “I think we should talk.”
Bruce punched the wall lightly. “Damn it Diana.” He paused and slammed his fist into the wall with full force. “Damn it Bruce… you coward.”
Clark looked up from his tray. “Uhh… sure. Have a seat.”
She sat down and stared at him, trying to figure out what to say.
He set down his fork and looked at her. “What’s on your mind?”
“I’ve been seeing someone. Off the station.” she started. “It wasn’t intentional to have a relationship but it seems to have progressed into one.”
“We gathered as much. How’s it going?”
“Well. It’s not Bruce but…it’s nice.”
He nodded and smiled slightly. “That’s good Diana. It’s been good seeing you happy lately.”
“You may not feel that way in a moment.” she took a deep breath. “It’s Lex.”
The smile ran from his face. “What?”
“I’m seeing Lex.”
“Lex. Lex Luthor. You’re seeing Lex Luthor.”
She nodded. “Yes.”
The color ran from his face. “Diana… why?”
“I care for him Kal. He’s not evil. Believe me, I know what he’s done. I remember the fights. But he has his pardon. I believe he’s capable of goodness and he’s shown me he can be. Don’t we believe in second chances?” she stared at him.
“Not when it comes to attempting to kill me three times. Second chances, yes. Fourth chances are too much.”
She sighed and looked down, pulling her hands back. “I didn’t come here to ask you to accept my relationship. I just wanted you to know. This is important to me and I have to see this through. I respect you and I can see that this is going to cause conflict.” she stopped for a moment, swallowed, then looked up at him “I formally resign from the League, affective immediately.”
“You’re an adult Diana. It’s your life and your decision to make. Don’t wait for me to accept it, but I respect your decision.”
Diana nodded sadly and got up, leaving him in the cafeteria and moving to her room. She packed quickly, taking only her most cherish possessions. Then she exited the Watchtower for the last time, not looking back.
Clark remained seated in the cafeteria, pushing his tray away and staring sadly at her empty seat.
