Through the skies they flew on a mission. There was the shape of a bat in the sky as well as another figure which appeared to be a woman. They both landed on a rooftop. They looked around, searching for the criminal they lost. The shadowy man suddenly turned his head and knocked the woman down. He covered her with his cape as a gunshot fired through the air. The mysterious man grunted. He had been hit. It couldn't have been a pain unfamiliar to him but it still could not have been a warm and fuzzy feeling. In fact, it hurt like crap. He attempted to cover the woman completely from the man with the gun but she would not have that. She clambered out of his grasp and walked toward the man.

"How dare you hurt him! You will pay for this and you will receive your punishment under the hand of Wonder Woman!" Wonder Woman walked toward him as he frantically searched for a way out of this mess that he had gotten into. Wonder Woman grabbed him and held him up by his throat. She shoved him up against the wall of the entrance that lead to the rooftop. She pushed harder on him until he almost couldn't breathe at all. Just as he was about to choke and lose all grip on life, the shadowy figure grabbed the arm of Wonder Woman.

"Let him go!" Wonder Woman immediately did as she was told. The man slumped to the floor, unconscious.

"Why did you stop me? I was this close to giving him what he deserved!"

"Diana, you lost all of your control. Why did that happen? You are usually the most calm and patient person in the team. As for why I stopped you, when I took up the title of Batman, I vowed never to kill anyone. Not even a worthless piece of trashy scum like you see before you." Diana's expression calmed a bit.

"I'm sorry but I couldn't help it. He hurt you, Bruce. I couldn't just sit there and let him do it again." Bruce looked at her for a moment.

"You should've let me handle it." He started to walk away.

"You're not even going to thank me? Unbelievable." Batman stopped and turned his head toward her.

"Thank you, Diana. I really do appreciate it." He jumped off the roof and glided. Diana walked toward the spot where he sailed off.

"You're welcome. People protect those that they love." She then took off through the sky, heading back to her apartment.

So that's the first chapter. What do you think? Give me a review, please! You know how I love them!
