Diana looked back at Bruce. His worried face said it all, everything she had done was to protect the world, to protect him. She gave a weak sad smile, she poured all the love she felt into that last look. She whispered "I love you"
It killed her that she would never be able to tell him.
The blast turned her attention back to the battle, it raged in war and death. She pulled the weapon from her belt and strode towards the monster. "Curselich!" She screamed getting its attention, it looked down at her and sneered. She breathed know what she had to do,
Diana threw her sword at it, smashing directly into the center of its chest. It roared in agitation, it grabbed for her but she flew out of range. She stared him down, head on. Placing her gauntlets together she smashed it with energy knocking it backward, stunned. She threw herself forwards, pulling out the bomb she had carefully kept hidden. Diana held her hand forwards and felt as it crushed under fingers into the heart of the beast. It exploded.
"Don't be anywhere near the explosion, It will kill you"
It burned. The light blinded her eyes. She felt the weight of her decision on her shoulders.
"There's no other way"
Bruce smiled. His blue eyes sparkled when she spoke. He laughed harder then she had ever seen. "Is that so?" He said grinning.
Nothing…
Bruce shaded his eyes from the light.
Not that it mattered, his soul had died with her. Turning around he broke free from the robots destroying them. The blast had shattered the monster turning it to dust, he looked at the crater. His eyes found her, the tiny form in chaos, through the burning flames and the ash. He ran, faster then he had ever before. "Diana!" Her face was relaxed almost peaceful. "Can you hear me?" He asked quickly holding her warm body, grabbing her wrist, nothing.
The warmth he had once felt when she had smiled when she laughed when she had kissed him. He felt all of that, She was warm but gone. The one that kept him grounded was gone. The one that made him feel... was gone. "No, please no," He said "Don't you dare do this to me"
"What happened? What's going on?" Wally asked. Bruce didn't say anything, he just stood, alone. "Bruce?" J'onn asked. "She's gone" He choked out. Zatanna whimpered, the silence that followed was terrible. "Diana is gone" He couldn't believe he was saying it.
