Batman
Diana turned around and started humming, the song that I had just sung not two hours ago to turn her human again. Obviously someone told her what happened, who. Why did they, I told them not to. After the conversation I had with her about dating she will know how I feel for her. She is not stupid. She is brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. She is amazing. But we can't even be together. Guys like me don't get the girl. She needs someone who deserves her. I have to many skeletons and demons, I am haunted by my past. I can't dirty her with who I am. I leave the tower and go back to the place we were staking out earlier, it feels like its been days. I must control myself. "One, dating within the team always leads to , you're a princess from a society of immortal warriors. I'm a rich kid with issues. Lots of issues. And three, if my enemies knew I had someone special, they wouldn't rest until they'd gotten to me through her." I wasn't wrong, but I was also deflecting. I knew that she'd see through any other defense that I have, and if the alarm didn't ring when it did I know she would've pull something out of me. It's so much harder for me to lie to her than it is anyone else. Back when we were turned into children it became apparent that she felt something for me, but per my usually fashion I pushed her away. Unfortunately prior to that when Gorilla Grodd attacked Gorilla City and Diana was crushed by the rocket I display my feelings towards her. She is my one and only weakness. Its been almost two hours of "brooding time" and I'd still here. Which for me isn't long, but unsettling. She is probably heading over here now, most likely going to confront me about what I've done. She'll definitely have more to say to me than I can talk my way out of, and considering how long of a day its been I don't want to let anything accidentally slip. With this thought I decide to leave when I become aware of my surroundings. She is here, I can smell her natural and enthralling scent, I stiffen my shoulder before trying to relax them. I am worried, I am actually worried about how this conversation will go. I shouldn't because it is Diana, but I am because its Diana. She only ever has my best at heart, but her heart is whats best for me. She can't ever know that though, life itself will become too complicated. She walks over to me and the moment of truth has arrived.
Wonder woman
I turned and walked away from Bruce, the only one who went to great lengths to save me from my sorcerously inflicted doom. I heard from Zatanna that he wouldn't stop looking for a way to save me. Oh my dear Bruce. He told me to stay away from him, but then he does something so wonderfully sweet. He tells me that dating inside the team is bad, but he goes to such great lengths to save me in a way no one else would. He sacrifices his pride for my safety. He is so much sweeter, kinder, and much more of a gentleman than I could have ever thought. When we danced together during that whole Kasnia thing I knew that he was wonderful. But he seems to continuously exceed my expectations. I don't know what to do or how to feel. Well, thats not true, I know what I feel but I'm debating on acting on those feelings. Bruce doesn't want us, he doesn't want me. Hera help me. He wants to protect me from himself, but obviously he does want me. As I am. I lied to him about my memories of being a pig, I have foggy memories of the horrors that I endured. But I also remembered him, my personal Hercules. He was sweet and was very kind to me the whole time, he even cared about my reputation. Withholding the truth from the rest of the League. I know that he cares, just as he knows that I care. But after today I refuse to allow us to avoid our feelings for each other. He sang for me, he sang to save me. Though I do not need a man I know that he is the only man I may ever need. I need to find him. The watch tower computer said that Batman teleported to the perch that we were on prior to my transformation. I look at the time its been nearly two hours since he left, but considering its Bruce he's probably been brooding this whole time. I chuckle to myself imagining him moping over his actions, and what I may be thinking about them. I teleport down to our perch and find him staring down at the night life, though he said he doesn't want to be apart of it he seems to be looking very longingly at the people. I meander over to him and watch, waiting for him to realize that I am here. Looking at his profile I can see more of him than he wants me to, I don't have to see his eyes to see his feelings, I can see it through his body language. I can see the moment he realizes, his shoulders grow slightly stiff. If I wasn't staring at him so intently I may not have noticed, but when am I not looking at him intently. I can see it in his posture, he doesn't want to have this conversation with me, but I must. We must. I walk over to him and I put my hand on his shoulder.
No Ones POV
Diana looks at him, places her hand on his shoulder and says "Hello Bruce" he turns to her and smiles painfully "Hello Diana, I was just leaving." She shakes her head and sits next to him "We need to talk, in fact we are going to talk." Bruce looks at her and shakes his head "Please don't do this, we don't have to do this." She grabs his arm and leans her head on his shoulder "Its about time we do Bruce, I'm done lying to myself and you should be to. What you did today was the amazing and I know why. But please Bruce. Why did you go to such great lengths to help me?" Batman then did something no one, not even himself would ever imagine him doing. He took off his mask and looked her straight in the eyes, baby blues to baby blues. "Diana you know why, don't make me say something I will never be able to take back. Don't change our dynamic, we are fine the way we are." She stared at him with a glare that should put him to shame. He stands up and paces the roof. "Fine Diana do you want to hear me say that the moment Circe turned you into a pig my heart stopped. The thought that I would never see you in all your glory made me want to puke. Imagining how worse off the world would be without your beautiful soul and amazing will power made me feel devastated. Worse than that having anyone else in the League see you in such a vulnerable state made me angry, firstly because you were only in that position because I am useless to you, and secondly because no one is worthy to see you in any position other that perfect. Did you want me to say that I am not the hero you deserve, and that the demons that follow me around would besmirch the perfection that you embody. Did you want me to tell you that I have loved you for almost as long as I've known you but I was content to just be your teammate and watch over you in my own way. Diana we can't be together. I am no good for you." She stood up and walked over to him, turned him around to face him before hugging him not to tightly and kissing him on the cheek "Bruce. Please listen to me. I didn't want you to blow up like that, though considering how often you actually talk I shouldn't have assumed anything less. I truly feel as though in some way we were meant for each other. For some reason the gods brought us together and I couldn't be happier. You Bruce Wayne are the most elusive man I have ever met. And while I do not fully understand your customs I believe that it is time we stop running from what is going to happen. I do not know what it feels to love a man, but I believe I feel that for you. Please Bruce after today do not push me away any longer." He looked at her and sighed quietly to himself before kissing her on the lips. When they came up for air they both said "Thank Hera" before laughing at one another and looking at the sky. A beautiful night to end their crazy day.
