Chapter Two: You Could Be Happy

...-"You could be happy and I wouldn't know, but you weren't happy the day I let you go..."-Snow Patrol

"You're kidding, right?" Agent Stevens gaped at his comrade, Agent Faraday, as he rode back with him to headquarters. Both agents were settled in the backseat of an unmarked car stuck in horrific traffic, giving the two plenty of free time to discuss Faraday's 'date'. "Is that why you pushed so hard to become the official Justice League liaison? To get date with Wonder Woman?"

"Does that even sound like something I would do?"

Agent Stevens laughed. "Seriously, King... I wouldn't put it past you."

Faraday shrugged nonchalantly, avoiding to delve too deeply into how much he admired and respected Diana. The fact that he thought she was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes one was just a given. Momentarily, King wondered if Stevens was going to regard him as some sort of player, but that was the last thing on Faraday's mind. A date with Wonder Woman was a privilege.

"I'm just considering it as winning the lottery," he paused, knowing full well he had his partner's attention and then continued. "Something I've always wanted, and shocked that it even happened."

It had been only three months since he had been promoted to liaison for the League. It wasn't nearly as difficult as he originally expected, considering the Justice Leage was so damn easy to work with. King even briefly helped out the League, which was surprising considering how un-powered he was compared to everyone. But that's how the League worked, everyone was treated with respect. Needless to say, King was enjoying every minute at his new position, and he made it his personal goal to mend any burned bridges between the U.S. Government and the Justice League. So far, his goal was succeeding his expectations.

Project Cadmus had left numerous scars, not for just the World, but more so for the Leage. And the was just the least of it. This made King determined to uphold the standing between his government and those who protected the entire Earth. Because he owed them that, just as much as the Earth owed them their thanks.

"Uh-huh." Stevens was trying to not sound condescending, and it drew King from his thoughts. "Having a date with an Amazon super-model is a perk? More like a fantasy come to life."

"She's more than just a pretty face with super powers."

"And you know this because... you've been friends with her for how long? Two hours?" Stevens attempt to hold back his biting sarcasm wasn't working. "And she just readily agrees to go out with you? I'm surprised you had the balls to actually ask her, man."

King shook his head and laughed. "Someone sounds jealous."

Stevens put his hands up in surrender. "Um, let me think about that one. Yeah. Who wouldn't be?"

"Besides, we've met before, of course. So we had some common ground."

"Oh that's right. You told her that you would shoot her if she even blinked at the Vice-President. Smooth."

"Hey, I was under orders," he said while gazing out the window of the car. He sighed deeply while he continued to stare at the passing scenery, apparently the traffic had eased up some. "You should have seen her in action. She's nothing but amazing."

Stevens chuckled. "You should hear yourself. You are hooked. Really hooked. And I think you are starting to freak me out."

Faraday looked over at his partner after a few seconds of silence. "I'm sorry, did you say something?"

"Uh, never mind. So is she really a princess?"

"Yep. I have a file on everyone. She's from an isle in the South Atlantic called Themyscira. Her mother is the queen, obviously."

Their driving pulled the up to a very large, very official looking building and parked.

"Thanks, Marshall," King said with a pat on his driver's shoulder.

"No problem, Agent Faraday," their driver said as the two agents exited the car.

Stevens gave King an approving nod as they walked up the large stone steps. "So she is a princess. Some tabloids are true."

"I'm glad you've been keeping up on your tabloid reading."

"Shut-up. Though I do wonder if the rumors are accurate that she dated Superman."

"That's something I don't have a file on. Thank God."

"Yeah knowing someone might be comparing you to Superman might be a bit of a turn off. But it's good to hear the poor woman can have some privacy away from the government's prying eyes. And TMZ."

Faraday laughed and opened the heavy glass door of his HQ. "I just have a vital statistics file on every member. A little parting gift from Cadmus. That was something we didn't have to scrap."

He paused for a moment and pondered something.

"Come to think of it, the only League member I don't have a file on is Batman."

Stevens stared at him, wide-eyed. "Batman? He's part of the Justice League?"

"Yeah. He's pretty quiet about it."

"I can only imagine. My buddy in Gotham told me he saw him once... and scared the shit out of him. Literally."

King scrunched his face up at that. "Thanks for that visual. I have met him, you know. And he seems like a decent guy. A little rough around the edges maybe."

Faraday was, of course, lying, unless seeing Batman from afar could be considered the same thing as meeting him. Batman left him a little too unsettled, so he tried to avoid the masked man at all costs.

However, little did King Faraday know, that the very same Dark Knight of Gotham would have his own detailed file on the agent in less than twenty four hours.

Agent Stevens checked his watch as they both walked to the elevator. "I'm late for a debriefing." He nudged Faraday in the arm. "If I don't see you, have fun this evening. Try not to make her angry. I've already been to one funeral this month."

Faraday smiled. "Don't worry."

Stevens pressed the 'down' button on the elevator panel and called out to his partner. "Hey, it's the King and the princess," he said with a wide grin.

"Don't get any weird ideas, Stevens. Now get to your debriefing."

Wonder Woman peered around a lone hallway of the Watchtower. She wasn't sure why she was taking precautions to keep her actions quiet, but she was doing everything to possible to make it so.

She walked up to the door she had been spying on and knocked quietly. After a few seconds, the door opened.

"John, I promised to see you in five...-" Just then Vixen looked up to who she was talking to.

"Wonder Woman?"

"Shh..," Diana said as she placed a finger to her lips. "Can I talk to you in private?"

"Um, yeah ok." She watched as Diana filed into her room, and close the door behind her. "Is everything alright, Diana?"

Diana stood awkwardly for a second and was unsure where to start. "I, um.. I need some advice. You see, I have a date."

Mari burst out laughing, but then she stopped.

"I'm sorry. I thought it was something serious! You had me freaked for a second."

"It is serious!"

"You are right. I apologize." Mari walked to the couch in her room and took a seat. Diana was glad she caught Vixen here, since she was hardly ever on the Watchtower, let alone in the room set aside for her. She was usually off on various photo shoots or at her own apartment down in New York.

Mari looked over at her coyly. "So is it..."

"Batman? No," Diana interjected coldly. She didn't have the energy to discuss Bruce with anyone else today. And Diana found it odd that so many people considered the two a couple to begin with. Which was funny considering Bruce seemed to think they were far from it.

Diana gave out a sorrowful sigh. Oh how she wished it were Bruce, but she knew she was going to have to move on. Amazons were not allowed to be emotionally hung up on one certain man, or any man for that matter. Especially one who didn't reciprocate her feelings. She was better than that.

Mari waited to question Diana as she took a seat on the couch next to her.

"So no Batman. Ok. Who's the ever so lucky guy?"

"A man I met for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I saw him today while on a mission, and he asked me to dinner."

"Cute. So what exactly do you need advice for?"

"Well...," she looked over and smiled. "What should I wear?"

Mari held up a hand. "You do realize that Shayera will be angry when she finds out that you came to me for dating advice?"

"Yes, I did think about that. It seems I was avoiding two people before I came to you," Diana said as she sat back into the couch. "I needed something more specific. Shayera is a dear friend, but I need your expertise."

"Well, I will certainly take that as a compliment." Mari sat up quickly, as if a thought occurred to her. She walked over to her closet and opened the door.

"Sweetie, I have just the thing." She pulled out a semi-short light blue dress. "Emergency supplies. Works well with a formal situation or a casual one. You can't go wrong."

Diana walked over and eyed the dress carefully. "It's beautiful. Though, it might be too small for me."

Mari cocked her head to one side and smiled. "Well, you're too nice to say that. If fact, that might be the nicest thing I've heard all week. It's a little loose on me, so it should be just fine on you. In fact you can keep the dress. It'll do more good for you than it will me."

Diana took the dress and held it up to herself. The color complemented her sable hair and matched her eyes perfectly. "Thank you!"

An approving smile crept over Mari's lips. "It's chiffon, so it will be a bit snug in just the right places. But when was that ever a problem?"

"Really? That's a good thing?" Diana wondered why anyone would want their dress a little too tight, but she had to remind herself that the women in man's world were an oddity.

"Honey, who ever this man is... he will thank me. I can guarantee that."

After Vixen gave her a few pointers, which included how to wear her hair, Diana thanked Mari profusely and left.

As the door closed behind her, she stood there momentarily and contemplated what she was getting into. This was a new mission for her. A personal mission. And if she was going to have a good time with King Faraday this evening, she was going to have to play the part.

Suspiciously, Diana looked up and down the hall. Thankfully the corridor was empty but she knew it wouldn't be for long. It was getting close to early evening, right in time for a change over of Watchtower personnel.

She took a weary glance down at the dress that she was holding. A pang of guilt hit her, but she then angrily pushed the emotion aside. Who was Batman to make her feel guilty over something as simple as this? She was going to have fun, with out without him.

Diana's mood changed for the better. She was ready.

Diana made it to her room without any mishaps along the way. Once securely in her room, Diana studied the dress once again. The fabric was light, perfect for an early summer evening in a city. Not to mention, the color was magnificent.

She walked over to the mirror in her bathroom and held it up once again, and studied her reflection. This was going to be fun.

Making a shoe choice was perfect. Diana chose a pair of metalic strappy sandals that she had splurged on once awhile ago during a venture to a mall. The style of the shoes were reminiscent of Themyscira, only considerably more modern. Plus the shimmery metallic was a good off-set to the blue in the dress and they matched her duel bracers. Diana loved the fact that at any time, her arm bands could serve as either a fashion statement or a weapon.

Satisfied with her selection, Diana laid down on her bed and waited. She wasn't sure how long it took to get ready for such things. She had routinely been to various charity events where she had to dress up, but somehow this felt different. A date with Bruce meant meeting him in the batcave at some insane hour while in her uniform. She never had to dress up for him, so that part of her experience was still quite new. But this was a real date, so she wanted to enjoy the experience.

Maybe her 'dates' with Batman hadn't really been dates at all. Just his excuse to fuel the attraction between them while letting their blossoming relationship go nowhere. The thought of him made her clench her jaw.

Tonight was her night. No thinking of Bruce.

She looked at the clock and knew that it was close to 6 PM EST. Even though her initial reaction was to panic, she sat up from her position and calmed herself down. It was time to get to work.

After pulling on the dress, she surveyed herself in the bathroom mirror. It looked fine from her standpoint, though Vixen was correct about it being a little tight. Diana's uniform felt similar, so she could easily ignore the sensation.

Diana next pulled her hair into a loose chignon, leaving a few wispy strands strategically placed to frame her face. After, she pulled out her one tube of lip gloss, another souvenir from a rare shopping trip. She applied it generously and decided to keep it with her, since she wasn't sure if she would need it again.

King Faraday might be used to women who used lip gloss more prominently.

Diana walked to the far side of her quarters and crouched in front of an ornate chest. It's where she usually kept various items for safe-keeping neat and orderly. Right next to a couple of swords and her lasso, she housed a couple of clutch purses for such an occasion. They were gifts from her friend Princess Audrey, so they were of excellent quality.

The thought of Audrey made her smile and reminded her of Paris, an exquisit city. Probably full of places to take a date, if she and King ever made it that far.

Paris also reminded her of a dance with a certain someone. The way his eyes sparkled when he introduced himself, the way his hand felt on her waist, the way he said her name...

Diana quickly got angry at herself for bringing up those memories. She didn't need that at a time like this.

After making her decision, she grabbed her clutch out of the chest and walked back to her mirror. She stole one last quick glance at herself and then pulled on her sandals and tugged down on her dress.

Now she was finished, but that wasn't even the hard part. She still needed to get to the teleporters. The less onlookers, the better.

Diana let out a deep breath, opened the door to her room and deemed that it was safe. She stepped out and was about to make her way to the teleportation room when not one second had passed when she felt a whoosh of air behind her. She could only imagine that whoosh being scarlet red.

It was.

"Oh. My. God. What's that guys name again? King something? I hate him. I hate him and I hate everything that he stands for."

She turned around and saw Flash's slack-jawed face. "Wally, I need to get to the teleporters; I don't want to be late."

"You have the nicest legs. Ever. Has anyone told you?"

Diana smiled."Thank you, that's kind of you to say. But I really need to...-"

"No really. I mean it." He zoomed over and then stood directly next to her. "You're always wearing boots, so I see your legs all of the time. But the sandal stiletto thing is really nice too."

"Thank you, Wally," she said as she walked down the hall.

"Don't mind me... I'll just be up here, coveting," he muttered.

Diana was almost to the lift terminal incident free. A few personnel watched her as she walked down the hall and a few stopped to give her an approving smile or nod.

Fire walked past but then halted. "Wonder Woman! You look fantastic. On a date?"

"Yes," Diana said with a nod. "I am just hoping it goes well," she added with a smile as she kept walking.

"You look fabulous, how could it not?" Fire called out to her

One problem with living on the Watchtower, everyone knew your business after awhile. Batman had it lucky, he owns a large manor to resort to when he wants to be anti-social. Which happened to be more often than not.

How could Diana not make a scene walking down the hallways in a new dress and lip gloss? Everyone usually saw her in her warrior armor, anything new was practically a shock to the system.

Diana marched towards the elevator terminal and stepped inside. She was trying to avoid anyone else at all costs. As she watched the doors close, Diana cringed at the thought of Flash talking up a storm. She could only imagine the entire first floor knowing where she was going, and not to mention, what she was wearing.

"Where are you going?"

The voice and tone sent chills down her spine. Diana had been so careful at avoiding others in the hallway, she had not noticed that she wasn't alone in the lift.

And yet, it wasn't too hard for him, he camouflaged so easily when he wanted to.

She turned around and looked into the eye lenses. "What does it matter, Bruce?"

He didn't say anything for a few seconds and he walked forward a bit, to the point where they were almost touching.

"I just want you to be careful," he said quietly.

Was he joking? As if she couldn't take care of herself. The comment infuriated her.

If she were one of her sisters, she would just pull the man apart into two pieces and get it over with. But, thankfully, for his sake, she wasn't.

"Don't worry," she seethed, forcing a half-smile.

Neither one of them had noticed that they were now on the appropriate level and that the door had opened to the elevator. Two technicians, who were wishing to get on, just stood there and stared. Diana moved around Batman and walked out. He followed.

Right before she could make her way toward the platform and before Mr. Terrific and Superman, especially Superman, could make a big deal over how she looked, Batman pulled her over to him.

"You look nice," he whispered almost harshly. "King Faraday's fortunate."

And with that, Batman turned and walked away, leaving Diana to stare at him as he marched down towards the Javelin bay, his cape billowing behind him menacingly..

How did he know?

A/N: I tried looking up more about King Faraday. Wikipedia doesn't have much on him. The only thing I can go on for his personality is from the few Justice League episodes. :)

Let me know what you thought!

Gamine: Thank you! Glad you are familiar with Faraday.

Miguel Dubón: I totally agree with you, Batman can totally be a pointy eared jerk sometimes. And relationship advice from Flash would be kind of scary... haha. Thank you for reviewing:)

Amy/Batman Wonder Woman fangirl: Thank you, that's the idea I got from watching 'to another shore' too. He was a good 'other man'. :D

Camelotlady: Yeah, I got that inkling about him too. Like, 'oh, he's totally into her...' lol. Thanks for the review!

Nicole: Thanks for reviewing!
