Chapter 1

Sitting by herself in the Watchtower's cafeteria, Diana picked at her food. Sitting at a table to her right were Flash and Fire. Wally had just told her one of his cheesy jokes, and she was no doubt laughing out of pity.

Diana sighed. Waiting for Bruce always tested her patience. He was busy in Gotham, but had promised to make time for dinner. As of now, he was nearly an hour late. But then again, maybe she should've been happy with the fact that he'd even agreed to a relationship with her in the first place. Diana had been dropping hints since, well, forever, and Bruce had finally caved. Although he had feelings for her, he'd been reluctant to date her because of their differences. (She was an immortal Amazon princess, he was a rich boy with issues, etc.)

But Diana had been relentless, telling him that differences didn't matter as long as you cared for the other person.

There was actually another reason she'd been interested in Bruce: Kal, at the time, had been taken by one Lois Lane.

It'd been three years since she left Themyscira, three years since she first laid eyes on Superman. For her, it'd been love at first sight. Not only did he possess a face and body that rivaled Apollo's, but he also had a heart of gold. Kal never flaunted his powers or acted as if he were superior to anyone else; instead, he always carried a sense of humility. Every life – no matter how big or small – mattered to him, and he'd sacrifice himself to save anyone. Plus, his good looks were a huge hit with the ladies.

Diana remembered how, a few months back, there'd been an interview with Natalie Portman in Vanity Fair. (She never read this garbage; it was Zatanna who had shown her the article.) One question the interviewer had asked was who Portman's celebrity crush was.

"Superman," the actress had replied without any hesitation.

She then went on to describe in great detail all the reasons why he was so hot and her "Super fantasies" with him.

Diana had ripped the magazine to shreds after reading this.

"Sorry I'm late."

Diana snapped out of her thoughts. Bruce had finally arrived. He kissed her on the cheek and sat down next to her.

"Aren't you going to get anything to eat?" she asked.

He shook his head. "Sorry, but I have to leave in a few minutes. I still have to take care of a few things in Gotham."

"Oh. I understand."


Clark Kent sipped his drink, trying to block out the excessively loud music to no avail. His friend and coworker Jimmy Olsen had urged him to come to this new nightclub in Metropolis, claiming that it would help Clark lighten up since all he seemed to do lately was mope.

Glancing around, Clark realized he'd give anything at the moment to be able to get drunk. Sadly, his Kryptonian genes made that impossible.

His mind wandered to Lois. They'd broken up a few weeks ago. She was getting tired of the fact that he couldn't tell her his identity or spend more than a second with her before rushing off to battle some evil villain from Apokolips or whatever. Not that Clark blamed her; Lois deserved somebody who would always be there for her. Still, he'd loved her and still cared for her deeply.

"Clark? What the hell are you doing here?"

Clark turned around to see Dinah, a.k.a. Black Canary, standing in front of him.

"Hey, Dinah. I'm just, you know, chilling out. What about you?"

"I'm here to get drunk." She promptly ordered a martini.

He furrowed his brow. This was very…un-Dinah-like. "Uh, you okay?"

"Not exactly." She downed the drink and ordered another one.

"Care to talk about?" Clark asked, worried and confused.

Another shot. "Ollie dumped me."

He couldn't help but feel surprised. Last time he checked, they were really happy together. "I'm sorry," he offered. "May I ask what happened?"

Dinah was starting to look very tipsy now. "Oh, he gave this long speech about him not being good enough for me, yada yada yada."

"Oh, I see." (Though he really didn't) "I hope –"

"Seriously, Clark, you talk too much."

"Um, w-what are you doing?" he asked nervously as she maneuvered herself onto his lap.

Dinah smiled seductively. "I'm taking a risk," she whispered softly into his ear. "You should try it sometime."

"I-I really don't think this is, um, a good idea." His voice came out shaky.

Before he could stop her, Dinah claimed his lips with hers.


AN: I know this is a pretty short chapter, but the rest will definitely be longer.
