PROLOGUE

Superman flew straight towards Grundy and rammed his fist into his chest. The monster flew away from the force of the blow. He looked around and saw Diana fighting with Giganta, while Fire and Flash were fighting Shade and Banshee. Green Lantern was trying to stop Banshee. These villains attacked the bank out of nowhere in the middle of the day. It seemed almost a mindless attack. Why would they attack a bank? Superman knew someone is behind this chaos.

Meanwhile Diana dodged Giganta's massive fist and countered with an uppercut of her own. Her fist connected underneath the other woman's chin, and the giant fell down with a huge thud. The others leaguers also managed to stop the remaining villains. The police was taking care of them.

Superman landed beside Diana who seemed alright, just out of breath. "Diana, you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'm alright." Diana said with a smile.

"Hey look at Wally." John said with a chuckle.

Diana and Superman looked at where Lantern was pointing. It seemed that Fire is flirting with Wally and he seemed to be out of words. He looked flushed. Superman raised his eyebrows.

"What?" John asked looking at Superman.

"Is that our Wally?" Superman asked.

"Huh! Why?" John asked bewildered at Superman's question.

"I mean our Flash used to always flirt with the ladies on the Watchtower. Now what happened to him?" Superman asked with a smile.

Diana chuckled. John grinned at Superman's question. "Looks like he met his match."

"Yeah you are right." Superman said with a huge grin on his face. "Just like you and Shayera, right?"

John flushed a bit. "Hey, we were talking about Wally. Shayera and me….. We're…. Well…." He stammered.

"You're?" Diana asked sweetly.

"Um. Nothing, nothing." John looked a little flustered at the mention of his love life. Then he looked at Superman with an evil grin. "What about you and your reporter, Superman? How's it going?"

Now it was Superman's turn to blush. "Well, Kal is planning to propose to her. Aren't you?" Diana added.

"Really?" John asked, a bit surprised. "Good luck man."

"Um. Thanks." Superman was now totally embarrassed.

Now, John looked at Diana who was laughing at Superman's expense. "What about you and him, Diana?"

Diana was a bit surprised at the sudden attack. "We're taking things slow. He is ….. Oh….no…"

"What happened Diana?" Superman asked concerned.

"Bruce has a press conference today. He wanted me to be there, as Diana Prince so he could introduce me to the press as his girlfriend." Diana revealed.

"When is it?" Superman asked.

"It was about an hour ago. He will be mad at me." Diana sighed.

Superman smiled. "Diana he will not be mad at you. He will understand because our duties comes first."

"True. That man is madly in love with you for such a long time. He will understand of course." John agreed.

"You knew about his feelings for me? How?" Diana asked a bit surprised.

"When we time travelled, he met his future self. He was a bitter old man, all alone. You were with us too but then you vanished into thin air, in front of him. I know I shouldn't have but I overheard his future self advising him to follow his heart." John explained.

"But I don't remember anything. He never said anything about it. Why did I vanish?" Diana asked.

"Because you were dead Diana, along with most of the Justice League. The man was a living corpse. He had nothing to live for. He was all alone. His biggest regret was that he couldn't save you." John said.

Tears brimmed in Diana's eyes. She now understood better than ever why he was so reluctant to admit his feelings. But Diana now swears that she will not let him be like his future self. He will live happily and he will always have her by his side.

"The future is not set Diana." Superman tried to console her by putting a hand on her shoulder.

Diana smiled a little. "I know. It's just that I understand his pain now. Better than ever."

"Of course you do." Superman smiled gently at her.

Diana called Bruce but the call didn't connect. She tried a few more times but the result was the same.

"I should call Alfred and see where Bruce is." Diana murmured to herself. She immediately used her league communicator to call the Wayne Manor. She had to wait a few seconds before Alfred answered the phone.

"Alfred, it's me Diana." Diana said.

"Miss Diana. Where are you?" Alfred asked.

"I got a bit late Alfred. Is Bruce already gone to the conference to Arkham?" Diana asked.

"How is it possible Miss Diana?" Alfred asked surprised.

"What is not possible Alfred?" Diana asked concerned.

"Master Bruce already told me that you reached the conference an hour ago. You were with him. He even introduced you to the press." Alfred said.

"But, I was never there. I am in Metropolis, duty came in. I got late, that's why I called you because I can't reach Bruce's phone." Diana explained.

"Master Bruce's phone is not available? And you were never there?" Alfred murmured to himself. "Then who was with him?"

Diana had no answer to that. It is really a big question, who was impersonating her and as Diana Prince?

Circe? That was the first name that came to her mind. But it was unlikely because Circe was banished and even if she is back she has no idea about her or Bruce's secret identity. Then who…? Wherever Bruce is now, he is in grave danger.

NOTES: Finally started the sequel. Just a heads up though to give you an idea about what's coming next. This chapter is very short I know, but next chapters will be longer. I promise. Let me know, should I continue? Are you interested? Don't forget to R&R.
