Author's Note: Hi everyone, I Hope you guys are enjoying all my other stories! But for now, I felt like writing a short ONESHOT. I really hope you guys enjoy my first ONESHOT.
For some people, eternity is something they crave.
It's a goal.
A goal that can never be reached.
Though, don't tell that to me.
I've already attained that goal,
Since the day I was born, made of clay on the extinct island of Themyscira.
You could call it a blessing,
I could call it a blessing from Hades himself.
A billion years…
Time can never be measured.
365 billion days…
For an immortal anyways.
8.760 trillion hours…
Death would seem peaceful.
5.2560 quadrillion seconds…
Since everyone I have actually cared for are gone.
Clark, he was more of a friend than I could ever ask for.
Shyera, my dear sister, as good as my kin from Themyscira.
Hal, little brat, never gave me that box of chocolates he promised me a billion years back.
J'onn, my fellow comrade, not god nor human, but male, an honorable colleague.
Wally, my first and only brother, the harsh times of my Earth days never seemed to disturb his spirit.
...
Bruce…
My love…
My one and only…
How time cannot cease the raging fire of loss.
My other half…
My significant other…
If you could see how the world we fought for ended, you'd be ashamed of what your heirs have done.
I am ashamed too, for they are our heirs…
You're face is still fresh in my memories of my early Earth days.
With the millions of years that have gone by,
There's not a single day where I haven't thought about you…
Us…
Our kids…
Our memories…
I think about our lives,
Our ups and downs…
The little things in my undying life is what keeps me going.
Your smile, Bruce…
Your eyes…
I lay motionless, floating…
Not knowing where I'm going…
The feel of nothing surrounding me, just open space…
It gives me time to think…
Think about my billion years of existence.
I'm the last of the Greek Gods.
They vanished about 500 million years ago.
I killed half of them, the rest destroyed themselves. They had it coming.
It was just a matter of time before they died, even with immortality, there is always a loophole, immortality is unnatural.
Even for gods.
Closing my eyes, seeing the never ending darkness…
So peaceful, so inviting…
So alluring...
My eyes open slightly, seeing the milky way, the millions of galaxies that float before me.
There's a planet and its three moons, uninhabited, yet the closest substitution of the Earth that I have come to love.
I reach up slowly and press two fingers up upon my forehead, where a part of him lies in the star above my eyes.
'Bruce, this is yours… Ours…'
I slowly fly towards the massive land on the cloud covered planet.
My home for the past 100 million years.
The house located on a small island right off the massive continent 'West'.
Wayne Island is very similar to Themyscira.
Landing on the soft sand of Wayne Island's beach reminds me of the time Bruce and I had a passionate night on the sand of a hidden island near Themyscira.
The thought made me flush in the cheeks.
In the distance on the beach, I see glass cases at least seven feet tall. Walking towards them, I swallow the lump in my throat, my eyes burn like Hell's fires.
Walking closer, the cases come in view.
I have displayed the suits of Batman.
Looking at Caped Crusader's most famous suit, the Dark Knight, my legs shake and my knees give out.
I fall to the ground, kneeling, then sitting back on my legs.
I cry…
Cried like I have never had before.
There's no one to see me,
There's nothing left.
My family has died,
Bruce is gone.
Clark, the only person I had let in my life after everyone died.
People said he had no end, but, he too died eventually, about a thousand years back.
His death pushed me off the edge.
I look up from my sobs, I see Bruce's face through my tear struck eyes.
A time where we found Ra's Al Ghul's Lazarus Pit.
The memory made me crumble.
I fist the sand under my hand, grabbing it and throwing it at the sealed suit.
"Why?!" I see the sand slide off the glass and fall back to the beach.
Time itself is cruel, the only barrier between me and Bruce.
I walk back to my house, an exact replica of the Wayne Manor.
I walk through two rooms and down one hall before I reach the grandfather clock that leads to the decommissioned Batcave.
The inoperable monitor greets me with a blank black screen.
In a case similar to the eight or so outside along the beach, is my Batwoman costume.
When I die, I'm going to depart this eternal life as Batwoman, not Wonder Woman.
I spin and attain the costume of Batwoman.
I look down at myself and there's nothing but pain that I feel, no happiness, no joy, just grief.
I see the pieced together Batwing, the last one he flew.
I fly back up the stairs and out the replicated Manor.
Flying into the sky, I leave Earth two's atmosphere.
I see planets, the milky way, galaxies...
The black, purple, pink, white…
They're all so majestic.
So quiet, it's a perfect place to pass.
I fly towards Earth two's sun, then stop abruptly.
Floating, I watch the flames of the purple sun reach for the blackness that surrounds it.
I let myself drift slowly towards the sun until it sucks me into its strong grasp. I feel the cold flames lick my face.
I fall...
And fall...
I see the purple turn into white,
I close my eyes and let the cold icy fire engulf me.
Finally,
I feel free…
I feel at peace…
I open my eyes, I'm dressed in nothing but my traditional Wonder Woman suit.
Everything's white, too white.
Too quiet.
The last time everything was too quiet was towards the beginning of my eternal life.
When Bruce was my life.
'There's no way…'
"Bruce…?"
I feel a presence in the neverending white.
"Diana…"
My eyes widen, my body stiffens…
I turn around and see a much too familiar and painful silhouette…
That voice, even after a billion years, I haven't forgot how it made my heart soar.
The bright light illuminates his body…
As he moves gracefully,
Closer…
And closer…
I see him for the first time in forever.
I truly see him.
My Batman…
My Bruce Wayne…
There's nothing more I can ask for…
"Welcome home, Princess…"
Some people believe that eternity is priceless…
It's something they crave…
It's a goal…
A goal I've attained…
Time itself is cruel.
I'm finally with my love,
There's nothing more I can ever ask for…
