Ok, chapter 2 up! Thats actually pretty fast for me. This one was requested by The Sacred and Profane.

Now, let me tell you something right here- I am not a BMWW fan. Never have been, never will be. I am, however, a fan of good reviews. That being said, I hope I did the story justice. (pun very much intended)

Anyone who can tell me the significance of the kids names gets an honorable mention in the next chapter!

"I get to pick the story!"

"No! Me!"

"I'm oldest!"

"Da'ey like me bestest!"

"Does not!"

"Do too!"

When Bruce had promised to tell his children a bedtime story, this was not what he had in mind. His first plan had been to tell a normal story, the kind that started with 'once upon a time' and ended with 'and they lived happily ever after', but that was wishful thinking.

"No offence, Dad, but your terrible at making up stories."

"Mommy say Da'ey ha no 'magi-a-shun!"

Plan B was to read them a story from a book, but...

"No book, Da'ey. New stowey!"

Of course, then he decided he might be able to confuse them into sleeping by telling them an abridged version of The Odyssey, except...

"Mom told us that one last night. The fun version, where she tells how bad that Homer guy messed it up."

So that left just one thing: kids' choice. Unfortunately, that led to the current argument. Why was it that when he had boys, they would hit eachother and be watching TV an hour later, but now that he had (three) girls, they fought about who was the favorite?

Four year old Thalia and eight year old Calliope had resorted to hair pulling, and while he could still take down Croc with his hands behind his back, he had no intention of getting inbetween two screaming little Amazonian girls. It was a wonder how they even heard Clio when she quietly said, "Tell us another hero story."

Thalia and Calli both jumped down in agreement.

Uhh... "What kind of hero story?"

"Justice League kicks Luthor's butt!"

"Hewos!"

"Can we hear about Wonder Woman? Weren't she and Batman in love?"

Bruce blanked. 'Should a six year old be that perceptive?' Thalia and Calli were both already proving to be as fierce and proud as their mother, but Clio seemed to take after him. She was quiet, reserved, observant.

"Yeah! I want to hear about Wonder Woman!"

"Yay! Won'r Wom'nan!"

"Oh, OK girls, lets see. There was a woman named Diana-"

"-The same as Mother?"

"-Yes. She was the princess and champion of the Amazons. She was very caring and very brave, so when the world was in danger, she left her island and came to help. When everyone saw how amazing she was, they made her one of their heros and called her Wonder Woman.

She fought in many battles alongside the rest of the Justice League. -"

"But what about Batman! I thought she liked him or something?"

"Yes, Wonder Woman did like Batman-"

"So did they get together or what?!"

"Not at first, Calliope."

"Why no, Da'ey?"

Bruce sighed. How was he suppose to tell a story if he kept getting interrupted every five seconds. "-Because Batman was very idiotic, and he turned her down at first."

"Wa's 'i-do-ah-dit' Da'ey? "

"Not very smart"

"So how did they get together if Batman was being stupid?"

-"Because a Woman always has her ways, isn't that right, Bruce?" Diana asked from the doorway.

He smiled, "Always, Princess."
