A/N: Here's the second chapter, guys. Enjoy. Hehe. Just to tell you now, it's a really late Christmas Fic. It's the only way I could spin it to work out right. That'll come in to play in a later chapter. Like, the next one I think.

Disclaimer: I don't own Justice League. I can always wish.

Friday, when they had duty again, Batman came in early. Normally he came in right on time, but today he had a mission. The mission was to find out if Flash had told anybody what he had told him.

First, Batman headed to the cafeteria, a place he normally avoided. Supergirl and her table of gossipers were laughing. Batman casually walked by. He planted a listening device on one of them. Who, it honestly didn't matter. He chose the darkest corner that still faced them and listened.

"Oh my gosh, he's really cute." One girl, Black Canary, gushed.

"Who?" Supergirl turned her attention to Black Canary.

"Batman, duh. I'd kill to see him without the mask on. I'd bet he's super hot." Black Canary said. Batman nearly choked on his own spit. That was a little disturbing.

"He's okay." Supergirl confirmed. "Seriously, though, Flash is pretty hot, too,"

"Oh, speaking of, you know what I heard?" Stargirl said. All of them leaned in a little closer. "I heard that Flash," Batman knew he'd tell someone. Great, now he'd get to listen to them laugh at him. "Totally ignored that new girl when she was flirting with him."

So, maybe he didn't tell. Batman was already frustrated by this 'girl talk'. "Wow. That's, like, really strange considering Flash flirts with every girl." Black Canary said.

"He hasn't flirted with me in about two weeks." Supergirl said it like it was a big deal.

"Me either."

"Me either, come to think of it." Stargirl said. They shrugged. "Oh well. Anyways, you know what else I heard? I heard that Wonder Woman and Superman are going out. Is that true?" They all looked at Supergirl.

Supergirl nodded. "Yeah, but don't tell anyone. Apparently, Wonder Woman got tired of waiting for Batman." Here, Batman decided to end the conversation. Well, at least his eavesdropping on it. He discreetly took the listening device off and headed for the monitor womb.

Sure, the last bit of gossip made sense, but Batman didn't know how to feel. Yes, he was happy for them, but it gave him a sinking feeling. What was this feeling?

Batman was still puzzling it over when Flash walked in. "Yes, Bats, I know I'm late. Work kept me again, but we caught the guy." Flash said before Batman even looked at him.

What bothered him was the fact that everyone else had someone. Clark had Diana now. John and Sheayra had gotten back together. Batman had even heard that Booster Gold had someone. Of the founding seven, only J'onn and he were alone. Then, Batman looked at Flash. Surely Flash had a girlfriend. Girls were all over the tower. Some even flirted with J'onn, who had no interest in them and was a Martian. None of the girls even acknowledged him except for Black Canary, but that just disturbed him.

"Flash, do you have a girlfriend?" Batman asked out of what seemed the blue.

Flash turned a red to match his uniform. "Well, no, not really." He sputtered. "Why?"

Bats ignored that. He was still puzzling. He'd never even thought of having a serious girlfriend before. Bruce Wayne didn't either, but that was for reputations' sake. Wasn't it?

"Bats, do you have a girlfriend?" Flash cut through his thought.

Batman's eyes narrowed. "No, why?"

"No reason. I'm just trying to find out more about you. We've been teammates for a long time and I still don't know much about you. I'm just trying to figure out what makes you tick." Flash shrugged.

"Don't." Batman was surprised that slipped out in an almost normal tone instead of cold. He quickly changed the subject. "You didn't tell anyone what I told you." It was an accusation.

"No, I didn't. Wasn't even sorely tempted, even thought the ballet thing was funny. I gave you my word, Bats. As Granny Flash always said, 'Honesty makes for a better heart and in turn a better world.'" Flash smiled.

"How is Granny Flash?" Flash quoted her all the time. Batman had never asked before.

"She'd fine." Flash answered quickly. "She's totally fine." He stared at Batman.

"That's good." Batman suspected he was lying, but played along.

"Yeah. So, how's the people watching going?"

"Fine." Batman looked at Flash and suddenly wanted to invite him along next time. He shook his head, wondering where this uncharacteristic urge came from. Alfred was right; spending more time with people was making him soft.

"That's real good." Flash and Batman let the conversation drop there. They didn't say anything the rest of the night, each lost in his own deception. They didn't even speak when Wonder Woman and J'onn came to relieve them at midnight.
