Chapter Two
The next morning, Diana decided she would explore Gotham when it was light outside, to maybe get used to her surroundings. She really wanted to get to know Batman better, but she did not know where to find him.
When Diana arrived, she headed for a nearby coffee shop to get something to eat. She was about to sit down at a booth, when she noticed Barbara Gordon walk in. Diana and Barbara had been friends only for a few weeks. Diana knew her because Kara had introduced the two.
"Hello Diana!" Barbara said walking over to her table.
"Hi Betty," Diana said nodding.
"May I join you?" Barbra asked. Diana gave her friend a grin.
"Sure, I do need the company," Barbara sat down across from Diana and started to look through the menu. "So what are you doing in Gotham?" Barbara asked still looking through the menu.
"Oh, well, I was thinking about getting to know this place better," Diana replied smiling.
"Oh I get it," Barbara said grinning. Diana gave Barbara a questioning look.
"Well, I wanted to get a good look of Gotham, because, Clark sent me here to be Batman's partner," Diana said lowering her voice. Barbara grinned.
"Did Batman agree that you could?" she asked, grinning.
"Well, I guess," Diana said thinking of the night before.
The two ordered their food and talked the play boy Bruce Wayne.
When their food arrived, Diana was about to bight into her ham and cheese sandwich, when Barbara gasp. "Speaking of Bruce Wayne," she said eyeing Diana. "Look behind you."
Diana looked behind her, as Bruce Wayne came into the coffee shop trying to avoid a crowd of news reporters and cameras. Diana quickly looked away blushing when he caught her gaze.
"Oh, so you like him?" Barbara said giggling. Diana's cheeks grew redder.
"Well, yes but..." Diana trailed off when Bruce stopped at their table.
"Hello ladies," he said smiling at Diana. Diana gave him a light smile, and looked over at Barbara who was not so shy.
"Hello," Barbara said. "Has anything interesting been happening to you lately?"
"Well, yes. How did you know?" Bruce ask looking over at Diana.
"I just know theses things," Barbara replied giving Diana a grin. Diana knew Barbara was trying to pair her and Bruce up, you could tell by the mischievous grin she had on her face.
"Well I'll see you two later," Bruce said walking away. Diana let out the breath she was holding in. "I can't believe you were trying-" Diana trailed off.
"Oh so you noticed?" Barbara said knowingly.
"Noticed what?" Diana asked growing frustrated.
"That I was trying to pair you two up," Barbara replied. Diana glared, and then took a sip of her water. "He is cute isn't he?" Barbara asked.
"What? Oh I guess," Diana replied. Barbara smirked.
"Well, at least I got you two to notice each other," she said. Diana smiled, and then finished her sandwich.
Bruce drove home, thinking about when he ran into Barbara and one of her friends at the coffee shop. He could not forget how familiar Barbara's friend looked. Maybe it was her blue eyes? But Bruce knew he would run into Barbara again and would ask of her friends name.
When Bruce walked into the Wayne Mansion, as Alfred met him at the door.
"Master Wayne, don't you remember that you have to go to a Gotham charity dinner at five o'clock? You where supposed to be the main guest." Bruce startled for a moment.
"Oh I completely forgot about that Alfred!" He said. Alfred smiled.
"I have already laid out what you need on your bed, so you should get ready so you won't be late." Bruce nodded and headed to his room to change.
When Bruce arrived at the dinner, and was surprised when he saw James Gordon and his family. Of course Barbara was there, and she had brought two of her friends. He recognized Kara, and the beautiful blue eyed women he saw earlier that day.
"Good evening Bruce," Gordon said standing up. "And I see you have not brought a date," he said smiling.
"Yes I have not, but I was planing on coming here alone anyway," Bruce replied. He smiled, and walked over to his table sitting down. Bruce watched as cupels got up to dance, feeling like he should have brought a date. Then he spotted Kara and Barbra get up and thought it was the perfect chance to ask if the the women with the blue eyes would dance with him. Bruce got up slowly, and made his way over to her.
"Would you like to dance?" Bruce asked when he got to the table. "And I still don't know your name."
"Yes, and my name is Diana," Diana said smiling.
Bruce saw a hint of shyness in Diana's face, but she took his hand as they went out to the middle of the room. Bruce looked into Diana's eyes as they danced, and then it hit him. Her name was Diana and she had the same features as Wonder Woman. 'It can't be...' Bruce thought to himself.
"You know, you remind me of someone I know," Bruce said smiling.
"I do?" Diana asked puzzled.
"Yes," Bruce replied. Diana grinned and looked over to see Barbara and Kara looking at them in a dreamy way. "You know, my friends over there have been trying to pair me and you up," she said looking at Barbara and Kara. Kara who could hear anything, grinned telling Barbara who was also grinning. Diana rolled her eyes and turned to look at Bruce again.
"So where are you from?" Bruce asked. Diana thought for a moment and smiled.
"I'm from Athens Greece," Diana said not really wanting to tell where she was really from.
"I have heard Athens is a beautiful place," Bruce said, hoping he was right.
"I really is, of course you would have to go there in order to really see it's beauty,"
Bruce smiled again, as he held Diana gently in his arms wile they danced.
After dancing, Bruce lead Diana to his table, so he could talk to her and get to know her. He would know later on if she was really Wonder Woman.
"So Bruce Wayne, what do you enjoy doing?" Diana asked smiling. Bruce grinned.
"I really don't know...Spending time at my mansion and enjoying the outdoors. May I ask you what you enjoy doing?" Diana was thoughtful for a moment.
"I enjoy doing most anything I guess," she replied. Bruce loved how Diana was not like any other woman he had ever met. But he was feeling that if he got to close to her, he would lose her. "Diana, would you like to came to the Wayne mansion tomorrow? I would love to show you something," Bruce said hoping she would say yes.
"Yes, but are you asking me on a date?" Diana asked.
"I guess so," Bruce said his voice in a teasing way. Diana grinned.
"What time do you want me to be there?"
"Is twelve noon alright?" Bruce asked.
"Yes it is," Diana replied. Bruce smiled at her, and watched as she got up. Bruce did the same and fallowed her. They walked out of the room, and into the hall.
"Il'l see you tomorrow Bruce Wayne," Diana said flashing him a smile. Bruce leaned down and kissed Diana's cheek.
"Goodnight Diana," Bruce said softly. Diana looked deep into his eyes before giving him a final smile and walking away. "This by far, was one of the best nights I have had in ages," Bruce said to himself. He felt a hand on his shoulder, and turned to find Gordon. "Are you alright Bruce? You have all the sudden grown quiet," he said a look of concern crossing his face.
"Yeah, I'm fine Gordon," Bruce said in a quiet way. Gordon chuckled shaking his head, as he walked back over to his family.

Diana knew she was going to be an hour late seeing Batman, but she really did enjoy her dance with the charming Bruce Wayne. But there was something about him, he almost reminded her of Batman? Diana shook her head, and landed on a building where Batman was standing.
"Am I late?" Diana asked looking at the Dark Knights face.
"No, I just got here," Batman replied. Diana sighed in relief, and fallowed Batman to the edge of the building. As they were watching the ground below, Diana heard something. She looked over at Batman, who had heard it to. Diana sighed, and flew to the ground as Batman fallowed, hiding himself in the shadows. A thick tenseness filled the air, as Diana looked around the corner of the building. Something was wrong, but she could not place it. Just then, Diana heard an explosion near the bridge that was on their left. Batman lunged forward pushing Diana down. When the smoke cleared, the two looked over at the bridge that was now gone.
"What h-happened?" Diana stammered. Batman got to his feet and helped Diana up.
"I don't know, but someone might be hurt." Batman walked to the edge of where the bridge used to be, and saw more then six cars had gone under with the bridge.
"Diana, I need you to help me get the victims out of the water," Batman said calmly.
"Ok," Diana replied looking down into the deep black water. She stood on the edge, and jumped down, into the cool water. She swam further under, until she came across one of the cars that had sunk. There was no time to waste, Diana ripped off the door, and grabbed the two passengers, quickly swimming to the surface. Gasping for air, Diana handed the two victims to Batman, and dove back under. Before Diana could swim down any farther, she came across another car. Diana looked through the windows, and saw a little girl who looked very frightened as water rushed in through the cracks on the window. Diana did what she did to the other vehicle, and reached in taking the girl quickly before returning to the surface. By then, there was ambulances, police cars and other rescue squads lined up near by, helping taking the injured safely to shore.
"Where is your mother?" Diana asked the girl gently. She had not seen any more victims in the vehicle she had rescued the little girl from.
"I-I don't k-know," the girl whimpered. "Mommy was on t-the bridge when it fell, I was w-waiting for her i-in the car." Diana shuddered at the thought of what might have happened to the girls mother. Batman felt the same, and gently handed the girl to an officer.
"We will find you mother," Diana whispered. She waded through the shallow part of the water, trying to find at least a living body and not a dead one. But this tragic scene was not an accident, it was more of revenge it seemed.
"Diana, come over here," Batman called. Diana waded over to Batman, who had a limp body of a women in his arms. Diana came up next to him, and looked down.
"Oh Hera..." She whispered, "This can't be the girls mother..." Batman waded back to the shore where he placed the women on a stretcher.
"I would not tell the girl yet," he advised the officer next to him who nodded.
"Hopefully she has a family out there," The officer said shaking his head.
"I can't believe someone would do something like this," Diana said sadly, coming over to stand next to Batman.
"It happens Diana," Batman whispered.
When the scene was cleaned up, Batman told Diana to go home and rest. Diana smiled, and thankfully went back to the watch tower, where she got a hot bath, and crawled into bed.
Later that night, Bruce did the same, but his thoughts where elsewhere as he flowed into a deep sleep.
