Terry looked at Bruce. He was staring at the portrait again. He had been feeling all right after getting back from his valentines date with Dana, but this just seemed to depress him. He knew that when Bruce was like this there was a 50/50 chance he would talk, the other 50 was that he would bite his head off, still terry Mc Guinness walked forward, we wasn't about to be intimidated by an old man.

"Bruce what's wrong?" he looked over to terry, and terry noticed something that he knew had not been there before. "Bruce your wearing a wedding ring..."

Bruce looked at his hand," I bought it a long time a go, for Diana." Terry had distant memories of wonder woman from the time she had traveled forward in time. He had also seen her briefly at a justice league world leaders meeting, although this time she was on the world leaders side.

" Tell me." Terry demanded in a softish voice, he wasn't about to go all motherly on him. Terry was the only one that Bruce would occasionally take orders from.

"It was a long time ago…"

" Diana, I know this isn't the best time," said batman as he hoisted a woman servant of star sapphires over his shoulder and onto the grass. They and a few other leaguers were rather busy dealing with another of Star Sapphires, "women's rallies to defend the earth from the deceitful male populace." "But…"

"She turned around to face me and Star hit her in the back. She had 3rd degree burns. She had to be beamed to the med bay and couldn't leave for 5 months. If she wasn't wonder woman I don't think she would have lived. All my fears came back that night. It was only 2 years later that Tim was kidnapped."

For a moment terry saw the old Bruce Wayne, the one who had lived in the golden age of superheroes, had co founded the justice league, and who had lost his family in one of the greatest tragedies Terry would ever know.

He silently left knowing that Bruce wouldn't say anymore, he just needed to be left alone again. He went down to the cave and started up thee Batmobile. He needed to talk to someone who had known them both. He headed for the Metrotower.

Terry walked up and knocked on the meeting room door. Clark was most often seen there more than anywhere else, and since they got a Soul Power pinball machine, so was Static. The door slid open and Clark greeted him with his typical happy face. He may be to old to call a boy scout, but he still acted like it. Now he was more of a den mother.

Terry laughed inside thinking of superman as a den mother as he walked to the table.

" Terry what is it?" Asked Clark as they sat down.

" Its about Bruce and Diana." He replied.

" I see." Said Clark sitting down in his chair. Static leaned up against superman's chair.

"Its really a shame that we couldn't get the two of them together. Ritchie and I tried everything we could but nothing really worked. Diana didn't seem to mind but we had to stop when Batman started to get mad." Said Static.

Terry sat down next tom the "FLASH" chair. Wally West had painted his logo on this one and the one on the watchtower not long after the "almost disbanding" of the league. The new flash was slightly more down to earth than his counterpart, but he still had that same fun loving attitude, although that same attitude seemed to get him in trouble with his girlfriend a lot.

" So what happened, to Diana? I read the files but they don't say much why she left. She is still part of the league right?" Terry asked.

" Oh yeah, Diana is still in, but she cant do much with the queenly duties in the way." Said Static.

" It took her 5 months to recover from those burns. She was back in action for about a year when she got a message from Donna." Said Clark.

Terry had met Donna briefly at a teen titans reunion thing. He had never really been a member but Tim invited him. He spent most of the time with Starfire, Dick's girl friend trying to him and Bruce to make up. They still had a lot of work to do, but it was progressing.

" What was the message?" he asked getting back on track.

" Diana's mother fell ill. She was rather old for her age and she only had about 2 years left. Diana returned to be with her, and then became queen of Themiscara when her mother passed away. It seems that her mother left the island once and her immortality was reduced. Diana did occasionally business with the league, but her time was so occupied and she was getting older, that she decided to take a leave of absence."

Clack looked over to her chair. Although most of the senor leaguers were retired now, (although it was common knowledge that they were still out and about often.) they were all still considered part of the team. Terry looked down at his belt to a little compartment. He had also bought a ring for Dana, but he had to clear up a few things first.

"He was going to propose." Terry said downcast. They all seemed shocked, not from the realization that batman, terror of the night was going to settle down, but rather that he didn't. Clark was wide eyed. And static managed to get out a breathy " no way."

"He even kept the ring." Said terry, looking at them. Clarks solemn look faded away to one of stubbornness and almost anger. He sat up quickly in his chair, so much that he almost knocked static over, at that he started to march out of the room yelling.

" THAT'S IT, I KNOW HOW MUCH HE IS GOING TO HATE ME FOR THIS, BUT THIS IS THE LAST STRAW! HE HAS LIVED IN SELF PITY FOR TO LONG!" static ran up to him.

" You thinking what I think your thinking?" He asked in a rather childlike manner, it kind of reminded terry of the way he and Matt used to team up to play pranks on Wally. It was kind of had to do that now that Wally was in central city 24/7 now.

Static lead them to another room on the same hall as the conference room. And typed in his pass code. The door slid open as the walked inside.

" Dr. Hamilton made this back in the day and gear and I have been working on it a little here and there. Well mostly gear, I just hand him stuff and act as a battery." Said static proudly.

" It's a dimension portal, but it can also be used for time transport. I use it now and again to visit Kara." Said superman. Terry walked forward to the big metal loop.

" You can send me back in time?" He asked. Static replied.

"Yup, I've been working on this baby long enough to figure out how to work it. Just don't do anything other than block that shot at Diana. I fiddled with the time stream once and it nearly killed me." He said. "And my mom."

" You know Bruce is not going to like this." Terry said as the stood in front f the big circle that looked similar to a big bubble wand, except more mechanical and shiny.

Clark looked at him and gave him that "don't worry about it look."

" I've known Bruce for long, time, I know he isn't going to like this, but it's for his own good. Now its my turn to be the persistent one." Said Clark.

" So you in kid?" Asked Static as he griped the power input bars.

"What do you think?" said Terry sarcastically.

Static poured full power into the machine and he could see it warming up.

" I can hold'er for about 20 minutes, so hurry up kid." He said still pouring electricity into the generator.

" You got it." Said Terry.
