Six Months Notice

Kal and Diana stared down at the marriage license just so taken aback.

"Married?!" Diana questioned again.

"It's authentic and we signed it," Kal said.

"How did we get a marriage license here? A ceremony? Signing? I don't remember anything beyond a flash of light."

"We were in that souvenir store."

"And that's it..." Diana sighed starting to pace around.

She then looked at her ring. Married to Kal? Was this a game with her deepest feelings? She had day dreams of the possibility of marriage, especially with him, but that was buried a long time ago. She never wanted to think of it again as heartbreaking as it was now.

"Diana?"

She turned back to Kal, who was still naked. She was fighting hard against her emotions trying to keep her composure.

"We should put on some clothes, get out of here before someone sees and go back to the store."

Kal just stared at her for a moment trying to still wrap his head around this. He wanted to make things right with Diana but this surely didn't come to mind. He has had thoughts of this, very serious thoughts.

Kal watched as Diana picked up her shirt, shorts and bra. She frowned looking under the sheet then looked under the bed.

"Where is-"

She glanced up then did a double take seeing Kal holding up her thong. She frowned and walked over to him snatching it away.

"It's not funny, Kal!"

As she was about to turn from him, he grabbed her arm.

"Wait...wait a sec..."

She rolled her eyes turning back to him.

"I know it's not funny. But I'm going to admit that I'm relieved this happened between you and me. If I would've woke up married to anyone else, I'd be a wreck. I don't know why this happened but we will go back to figure out what's going on."

Diana looked away from him.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing," she shook her head still looking away from him.

"It is something. Tell me."

She sighed. "I just don't know. I thought this would be..." she trailed off looking away again.

Kal stared at her knowing exactly what she meant. His heart breaking all over again.

"Diana, I didn't want this trip to be ruined."

"It's not. That's not what I'm saying, Kal. I'm just not sure how to explain it right now."

He slowly nodded. He knew she had been holding so much in and it was a matter of time before she let it all out. They both had to be emotionally prepared for that.

"I do understand. But I don't want this to make things awkward for us." He noticed Diana glancing down. "I mean...even more awkward with us still without clothes," he smiled sympathetically.

Diana bit her lip but then laughed softly.

"It's still really early. We have time to get back to our rooms to change."

"Okay."

They quickly got dressed and Kal sped cleaned the room as if no one had been in it.

Opening the door he slowly peeked out making sure the hall was clear so they wouldn't be seen.

They hurried out going to the elevator. Diana saying a silent prayer to the Gods they wouldn't be seen.

As the elevator opened to their floor, they simultaneously let out a sigh of relief. It seemed no one was up and out yet.

As Diana reached her door, Kal grabbed her hand.

"Half hour?"

She slowly nodded.

"Okay."

Diana watched as Kal walked to his room door. Before walking in they both were looking back at each other as if trying to confirm once again this was really happening.

Now in their rooms, they leaned against the door taking a moment.

The whole time being alone together, it was extremely difficult for them to keep their composure, fighting the temptation to jump back into each other's arms. Floods and floods of flashes of what had occurred the night before replayed in their minds. They could still feel each other all over their bodies.

They tried once more taking off the rings but it wasn't budging, completely attached to their fingers.

Stepping into the shower, letting the steaming hot water cascade all over their bodies didn't make it any better. Thinking back on their times showering together and making love at home or at the WatchTower, they couldn't let go of the feeling of each other's hands.

Kal sighed as he stepped out the shower wrapping a towel around his waist. He leaned against the sink staring down yet again at his ring.

He thought back to the moment that was taken from him...from them. This has to mean something as an opening to get that back.

Diana's Room

She has been in very complicated situations and always knew how to figure it all out. This was completely different. The battle of and with love was much more difficult and complicated.

Coming to man's world, she's learned nothing is straight forward and to expect the unexpected. Falling in love was quite unexpected and she didn't think she could ever be so connected to a man but Kal is no ordinary man.

There was this unspoken and unexplained divine connection between them. No matter how hard it's fought against, the connection grows stronger. So was this to be a sign of solidifying the bond or a trick that could weaken and ultimately break their connection?

Diana jumped hearing a knock at her door snapping her out of her daze. She quickly finished tying her hair up in a ponytail and answered the door.

"Kal...I'm sorry for taking a bit longer."

"No, it's okay. I wanted to see if you were okay though."

"Yes. And I'm ready."

Diana turned back to close the door, which automatically locked.

They walked silently to the elevator. Their minds racing.

MassaoKin's Store

Staking books on a shelf, MassaoKin grinned, hearing Kal and Diana walk into the shop.

"And the newlyweds have arrived..."

"MassaoKin?"

MassaoKin disappeared from the book shelf and reappeared in front of Kal and Diana.

"Congratulations!" MassaoKin smiled and bowed.

"What happened last night? What did you do to us?"

MassaoKin's smiled faded to a confused frown. "Are you not understanding?"

"No, we don't."

"Hmm.." MassaoKin walked around them slowly, looking them up and down. "Tsk...tsk... blinded by the mind."

"What does that suppose to mean?" Diana questioned.

"What happened is that you were given the gift of what you have longed for. An answer and guide to settle your deepest dilemma. My gifts are specific to the deepest desires...of the heart."

"We thought this to be an antique and souvenir store."

"We are not on earth, Diana, remember?"

"But married? And what's with the rings? Why can't we take them off?"

"You were past lovers, correct?"

Kal and Diana paused.

"Well...?"

"Yes..."

"There are some things unresolved between the two of you. The door is now open for you to resolve it all."

"You still aren't answering about the rings. Why can't we take them off?"

"You can not run away from what needs to be resolved. You will have six earth months to learn, understand and accept."

"We can't-"

"Can't? Or won't?"

"What is this suppose to be?"

"Six earth months to find your own truths. The risks and doubts that you ran away from, now you will face them. Whatever outcome that brings, only then will you be able to take the rings off."

"This wasn't suppose to happen. This shouldn't be happening."

"Diana of Themyscira, you are a goddess of the wise. You of all know...fate."

She stared at MassaoKin, who only nodded slightly.

"And you, Kal-El of Krypton...a man of determination."

Kal and Diana looked at each other.

MassaoKin smirked. "It's an interesting lesson of life. Especially for beings such as yourselves. Now you two should go along. I've done my part. I have other work to do, gifts to give."

"Wait. What? This is it?"

"Depends on you two..."

Before Kal and Diana could say anything else, they were teleported to the outside of the shop. They both gasped. Quickly turning around, Kal tried to open the door but it was locked.

He pushed and pulled as hard as he could but it was like a magical barrier. He hit his fist against the door then his forehead and sighed.

He then noticed Diana walking away.

"Wait a minute."

She was still walking away.

"Diana, no. Wait a minute."

Kal stepped in front of her.

"I want to go back to my room."

"We need to talk."

"Why? This shouldn't be happening but there's nothing we can do. How are we suppose to hide wedding rings we can't take off? This doesn't just effect Clark Kent and Diana Prince but Superman and Wonder Woman."

"We will figure it out."

"We couldn't even figure out how to deal with our relationship unmarried. How can we figure out this?!"

He could see the anger and heartbreak in her eyes all over again.

"If someone sees, the League will be under scrutiny yet again. That can't happen, Kal."

"A lot of things went wrong and we weren't prepared. We will be now. That's the only way we can get through this."

Diana shook her head. "It's like we are being punished and tormented for how we felt and can't move passed it."

"I don't know what this is but it's far from being a punishment. How we feel is just that, how we feel. It wasn't wrong. It's not wrong."

"Supes?! Wondy?!"

They looked up to see Billy waving.

"We have to tell them all now."

Kal slightly nodded.

"Billy, round up everyone else and meet us on the deck."

"Yes, sir!"

Kal grabbed Diana's hand and gently rubbed his thumb across her ring.

"I promise you. I won't make the same mistakes I did a year and half ago. I want us to be in a better place."

Kal and Diana sat at the bar waiting for everone.

"I have space money to win and more sexy alien chicks to impress," Hal said. "So what's up?"

"Are those rings?!" Billy asked shocked already eyeing them.

"Quiet down, Billy," Diana said.

"No way! You two got hitched?!"

"It's not like that."

"But that's what they are, right?" Vic asked.

"Yes."

"Wow! And you all thought I would be the one doing something crazy! It was just the first night here," Billy snickered a bit.

"Let us explain. It didn't happen how you think."

"Kal and I went to that supposed souvenir store. We don't exactly remember everything from last night but woke with a contract and rings. We can't take them off."

"Wait what? A contract? And the rings are stuck on your finger?"

"We don't remember signing anything but apparently we did and we have six months-"

"Six months of what?"

"It's like a trial."

"Ok? Let me see if I'm getting this..." Barry said scratching his head. "So you guys went to a shop, everything went a blank until this morning. Wake up married. Go back to to find out you guys can't do anything about this for 6 months because of some contracted trial?"

Kal and Diana both nodded.

"Well um... you guys already act like a married couple anyway. We'll all be sure to get a wedding gift when we get back to earth," Barry smiled optimistically.

Barry had always had this certain incling of the possibility of something going on between Kal and Diana. It was quite obvious to everyone really until they had their all of a sudden fall out. He was rooting for them to one day tie the knot. This wasn't exactly ideal but maybe this was a push needed.

"I say, you two have a lot of fun celebrating because once we get back to earth, it's back to earth, Bats is going to have cow."

"Thanks for stating the obvious, Hal," Barry said sarcastically.

"What? I'm just saying. But it's all good! More spice with this trip and come on! What's a trip to Vegas, space Vegas, that is, without a shotgun wedding. The headlines are going to be hilarious, too."

Diana rolled her eyes and got up to walk away.

Barry slapped Hal in the back of the head.

"What?! We suppose to be having fun! It's not that big of deal."

"Did you forget already about last time?"

"Oh, that load of crap! We were all targeted but none of it was true...except for whatever has been going on with these two."

Barry slapped Hal in the back of the head again.

Kal got up and hurried after Diana.

"Diana! Diana, wait!"

Diana turned to him.

"They don't know how serious this is for us."

"They don't need to know but Diana neither of us can react to it that way or they will figure it out."

"Our friends were ridiculed because of us."

"No, we were all questioned at that conference."

"But what started it was us. Because you and I were too close."

"No, it was Luthor and Waller trying to make something wrong. Trying to make everyone have doubts and fear us."

"Clark Kent needs his privacy. Superman needs the world to not be in fear of him. To trust him."

"Diana Prince needs some time of privacy, too, as well as Wonder Woman. Especially with your Ambassador position. I know it's walking a fine line but it's not hiding or pretending, Diana. It never is, never will be that with us." He grabbed her hand. "It's still a shock but we can't let this consume our time here. When we get back home, we will deal with whatever comes but that's then, okay?"

Diana looked off. Kal cupped her cheek.

"Okay?"

"I don't want to hurt all over again."

She pulled away from him.

"Di..."

"I just want to be alone. I need time to think for myself."

Kal sighed and nodded. He reluctantly let go of her hand and watched her walk away.

Barry walked up and placed his hand on Kal's shoulder.

"Diana isn't the run away bride type but this wasn't ideal for either of you. Give her some time, man, then go talk to her."

"Yeah... Thanks, Barry."

As Diana was walking the hall back to her room, she saw Sef.

"Hello, Diana. Is there anything wrong?"

"Oh, no. Just a little tired."

"Ah, I understand. Last night was quite the night for you newlyweds."

"Excuse me?" She frowned.

"Would you like for me to transfer your belongings along with Kal-El's into your joint room?"

"You were the one that gave us that room?"

"Yes? Diana, are you sure you are alright? You seemed very happy and excited."

"I...I'm just really overwhelmed. Last night was quite a rush. Kal and I will stay in separate rooms for the time being."

"Understood. If either of you just can not resist being alone together and change your minds, the room will be available anytime."

"Oh...well...Thank you."

Sef smiled and bowed before walking away.

Diana sighed going into her room. She tried to remember what all happened but it was nothing but blurred flashes. She still couldn't make sense of why it happened.

MassaoKin spoke of fate. This was a dream they both longed for, to one day, come true. But with how things have spiral down to heartbreak, this just another dream shattered, showing the happiness they wanted could never be. Kal and Diana would have to completely let go and move on.

Diana was sure once the Gods of Olympus find out, it will be a bit amusing and for some a relief. Kal was a unique being that could rival the mighty King of the Gods, Zeus in power. Their union posed a potential threat to both the Gods and mortals.

They were both two lonely unique souls, not belonging to any one world yet it was coming to a point of the possibility they would have to choose.

2 hours later...

KNOCK. KNOCK.

"Room service."

Diana smiled and shook her head getting up. She took a deep breath before opening the door.

Kal stood there with a covered up tray of food.

"I know you just wanted to be alone for the rest of the day but that doesn't mean miss out on eating. So I got you everything I could and thought you would like."

"You are very kind, Kal."

She stepped aside for him to come in.

He set the tray on the table as she closed the door.

"So...um...I'll go ahead and-"

"Can you stay for just moment?"

"Oh yeah, yeah, of course."

They both sat on the edge of the bed.

"When I was coming to my room, I saw Sef. He is the one who gave us the room."

"So even he knows?"

"Yes. I've tried to remember but it's just flashes. Sef said that I was so happy and excited. Maybe we will be able to remember it all in time. Part of me want to..."

"But the other part doesn't. I understand that. I want to see you happy again, Diana. Whatever outcome this brings I hope that you will be. I don't want you hurt."

"I don't want you hurt either."

"As long as you're not, I'm not," he said with a reassuring smile.

Diana walked him over to the door.

Before opening it, Kal then leaned over giving her a quick kiss on the cheek. "Go ahead and eat something. I'll check on you a little later. Is that okay?"

Diana nodded and smiled. "Thank you, Kal." She kissed him back on his cheek.

Moments like this is why Diana couldn't let go. Why she continued to fall for him more and more.

Later the next day...

"Awe man, I need more days to stay here."

"No worries, my friends! You can come back anytime. We will be sure to make the right accommodations."

"Awesome! We will definitely be coming back!" Billy said.

"All aboard!"

Kal again carried his and Diana's bags as well as sat together.

"They are so getting into this married thing already."

WatchTower

Walking into the briefing room, they were all surprised to see Batman already sitting, staring at the screen.

"Has he been sitting there the whole 3 days or...?" Billy asked.

"Nah, but timing sure is a helluva coincidence," Barry said.

"Still so weird. We're back, Bats. I know you missed us!"

"Hm..."

"You seriously missed out. Space Vegas was amazing! But you know what's a trip to Vegas without a wedding?"

Bruce then turned in his chair to see Hal and Billy snickering.

"Don't worry, Bruce. None of us took your place as best man. But I'm sure you will get the newlyweds a very expensive gift. Say hello to Mr. and Mrs. Superman or Wonder Woman."

"Ha! Mr. Wonder Woman," Billy teased Kal.

"Shut it," Kal glared.

Diana placed her hand on his shoulder to keep him calm. They both looked at Bruce who they could already tell was silently judging them.

Bruce didn't say a word but turned back to the monitor screen.

"If it makes you feel any better, we weren't invited either."

It was awkwardly silent for a moment.

"Anyway, I'm going to go catch up with Iris."

"Yep. Back to reality we go."

Everyone left except for Diana, Kal and Bruce.

"I'm going to go home first, unpack and everything then go see Tiffany," Diana said to Kal.

"Ok. Tell her I said hi."

"I will. Though, she would want to see you."

"We'll catch up some time. Can I call you later?"

"Yes, of course."

Although a bit hesitant, Kal kissed her cheek. Diana smiled and returned the kiss on his cheek.

"Talk later, Kal." She glanced at Bruce. "You can stop pretending you're actually researching data, Bruce."

Kal raised his eye brows and chuckled as Bruce turned in his chair.

Kal shrugged and watched as Diana walked out the room.

"When I said do what you have to, I didn't mean go off to another planet and get married."

"That wasn't my plan. Diana and I talked. After that we went to this antique and souvenir store, woke up the next morning with a marriage license."

"What do you mean woke up with it?"

"There's things that happened in between that really hazy. Apparently, we had a good time, at least."

"Clark, this is serious."

"I am serious."

"You both still have the rings on. So you've just accepted it?"

"No. This is where things get complicated." He pauses for a moment. "We can't take them off."

"What?!"

"Our marriage license is also a contract. 6 month trial of if Diana and I can work out things we haven't. The rings are to insure we do."

Bruce stared at him for a moment then turned to look at the screen again.

"There might not be a next time of another vacation trip to a different planet of this is what happens. Don't let this become a distraction."

"What we had was never a distraction and it will never be. Diana and I will work this out for the better. But this time it will be for the better for us."

"Hm..."

Glamtastic Boutique

It didn't take Diana much time to unpack and relax a bit taking a shower to get ready. She also had a little time to really think over the trip.

As much as she felt a bit nervous about all of this with Kal, something was giving her a bit of hope.

Diana walked in grinning.

"Be with you in a moment!"

Diana walked to the back of the store.

"I just want to know have you gotten yourself into any mischief while I was away?"

Tiffany gasped and dropped the bag of dresses, squealing. "Awww! Diana, you're back!" She rushed to Diana embracing her.

"I missed you, too, my friend!"

"I need to know everything."

"Yes...you do." Diana held up her hand showing her ring.

Tiffany's eyes widen. "Girl! No you didn't?! You and Clark eloped?!"

"No not exactly."

Tiffany quirked her brow. "But you have a ring?"

"It's very complicated."

"Come on! Come on! Give me details!" Tiffany paused for a moment. "You pregnant?"

Diana's heart dropped. "What? No! No!"

"But that's next."

"Tiffany!"

She laughed. "Girl, come on in here and tell me everything!"

"So, it happened the very first night and-"

"Wow! See told you. Neither of you wasted any time."

"Kal just wanted to talk. He didn't wanted any awkward tension between us."

Tiffany smirked.

"No, not that either. He just wanted us to have a good time. He told me about what happened with Lois and he has his focus back."

"What I tell you..."

"Oh, stop it! Anyway, we went to the souvenir store together. The owner, MassaoKin, talked in riddles. We had our suspensions but were just cautious."

"But you still let your guards down."

"We were told to clear and relax our minds. The perfect gift was to be symbolic. We lit candles and oddly the scents were specifically familiar. After that, there was a flash of light. What happened between then and waking up with Kal the next morning I don't know."

"Everything between that time is a blank?"

"Yes...though I do remember moments of us...together."

"OH! OH!"

Diana couldn't stop blushing and grinning. "It took us back to how things were. It was incredible."

"So why don't you want to stay married? I know it's not the way you wanted it but...?"

"That's exactly it. If Kal and I decided to get married, if he proposed...I would say yes in a heartbeat. But I don't want it like this. I want the choice to be ours. For us to be ready."

"How do you know you aren't ready but because y'all are going at glacier pace, someone had to help speed things up?"

Diana smiled. "It's not easy to get where we want to be, Tiffany."

"You know I know that. But what I'm saying is the love is there. Stop trying to hold it back. There's nobody and I mean absolutely nobody in this whole damn world, universe, galaxy...whatever that can judge you for who you want to be with and love." Tiffany took Diana's hand and smiled. "Baby girl, you and that fine ass man of yours deserves all the happiness there is to offer."

"Thank you so much for your support."

"You have so many others rooting for the both of you. Don't let minor negative overshadow the greater positive. Have you talked to Hessia, yet? I'm sure she would say the same thing."

"No, not yet but yes, I'm sure she will, too" Diana laughed.

Later, Fortress of Solitude

Kal flew in heading to the data room.

"Rawf! Rawf!" Krypto, Kal's direwolf hound barked happily greeting Kal.

"Hey boy! What's up?!"

"Rawf!"

Kal noticed a piece of cloth hanging from his mouth.

"What's that?"

Krypto set it down and laid down flat whimpering.

Kal kneeled and picked it up. He then realized it was Diana's scarf. Kal looked at Krypto with a sympathetic smile while Krypto was looking up at him with sad puppy dog eyes.

"I know you miss her just as much as I do. But something happened and it might change things." Kal patted him gently on his head. "Don't worry. I'll tell her to come visit you."

"Rawf!" He barked excitedly wagging his tail.

Kal smiled. "Alright. Alright. We won't be in a rush. Gotta take things slow so I can make this right with her."

"Rawf!"

"Yeah...I know. I won't screw it up this time."

Kal then walked to the data room with Kyoto tagging along and sat in his chair, taking out his cellphone.

He took a deep breath before calling. Hearing it ringing made his heart beat faster.

"Hey, Kal."

"Hey, Diana. Were you busy?"

"No, not at all. Was going to go to Hessia's but she's still out on her retreat."

"Oh ok. So you're at home all settled and everything?"

"Yes. I relaxed a bit earlier before going to see Tiffany."

"Ah, any mischief?"

Diana laughed. "A little bit. But she didn't say much just yet."

"Ah, I knew it."

"She wanted to know about the trip."

"Did you tell her?"

"I did and she was quite excited for us even with explaining everything."

"It seems everyone around is taking this lightly. Tiffany knows what we went through, so even for her to be so..."

"Optimistic."

"Yeah...I don't know. Maybe-"

"Rawf! Rawf!"

"Alright! Alright! Calm down!"

"Is that Krypto? What wrong with him?"

Krypto kept barking and whimpering.

"Is he hurt?" Diana asked worried.

"No, no. He's fine but...he...uh...misses you. He kept up with your scarf."

"Oh. Aw, I miss the big fluffy hound, too. I'll have to come see him." Diana laughed. "I knew I would never get that back, though."

"I'll have to get you a new one."

"Oh, you don't have to."

"I want to. I won't hold you much longer. I just wanted to make sure you were home resting."

Diana couldn't stop smiling. "Thank you, Kal. You get some rest as well."

They both were silently for a moment, wanting to say those 3 words.

"Good night, Diana."

"Good night, Kal."

The next day...Embassy

"Good Morning, Diana!"

"Good Morning, Gwen!"

"How was your vacation?"

"Very interesting," Diana smiled.

Gwendolyn gasped noticing Diana's ring as Diana was getting the files from Gwendolyn. "Oh wow! You got married?! Why didn't you say anything?"

Diana beamed. "It was a low key ceremony. Quiet and intimate."

"Oh I understand. Well congratulations! I will have to give you a gift."

"Oh no, that's not necessary."

"Diana, please, let me."

Diana smiled and nodded. "I'm grateful for your generosity."

Daily Planet

Clark Kent stepped out of the elevator he looked down at his ring and took a deep breath. He was mentally preparing himself for the reactions of Clark Kent now a married man.

He went to his desk and started work as normal.

No less than 10 minutes, Jimmy walked up to his desk.

"CK, you're back! Where you been, man?"

"Took a little vacation."

"Oh, that's awesome! Did you mee-" jimmy paused for a moment. "Oh no way! Dude, you got married?!"

"Yeah..."

"I didn't even know you were engaged? Wait...I didn't even know you were dating someone?! Who is she? Is she hot? When can I meet her?"

Clark chuckled. "Slow down, Jim. My personal life is private. It was just us. Something quiet and simple."

"Oh...cool, cool. So when do I get to meet her?"

"Depends on her. We want to get things settled first."

"Oh. You met your perfect match. Seems like she likes the whole mysterious, private life too."

"Not exactly. She's very open and outspoken. But marriage life is much different. Have to slow down taking the steps."

"Ah well, good luck, man and congrats!"

"What are you congratulating Kent for?" Cat asked.

"CK got married over the weekend."

"What?!" Cat was taken aback. "No way!"

"Yes, way!"

"Clark?!"

"It's true, Cat."

"Oh my God! What?! Who is she?!"

"I-"

"Clark won't tell yet."

"Thanks, Jim."

Cat side eyed Clark. "Come on, Clark. Are you serious? Why can't we see her?"

"Look at his ring."

Cat grabbed Clark's hand examining his ring.

"Wow! That looks expensive and it is real." Cat grinned looking at Clark. "And here I thought I might have had a chance. I can't wait to meet the bride. We are going to have quite a talk."

Clark chuckled nervously.

Just then Lois walked passed glaring.

Cat smirked. "Don't be jealous, Lane."

"Jealous of what?"

"Clark is now officially off the market. A married man now."

Lois stood there for a moment staring at Clark's hand.

"Married a life sized doll I'm sure..." she said walking away.

"Rude." Cat frowned. "Anyway, Clark. I'm happy for you and I can't wait to see the new Mrs. Kent."

Clark smiled. Diana Kent? It did have a very nice ring to it.

"Thanks, Cat."

Steve and Etta Trevor Residence

Diana, we are so glad you could take the time to come here at such a short notice," Steve said.

"Of course. Especially when it's urgent."

"Sit down, Dear. It's about Welman."

"Oh? I haven't heard anything else from him. Even away, Gwen didn't mention anything."

"Well that's good and hopefully it will remain that way."

"What's wrong, Etta?"

"Martin Welman was a member of checkmate. You know there's the good, bad and ugly with that. As I said, he is one who tries to stay neutral. Jumps to which ever side is winning though. I've gotten word, he is playing on the more ruthless side. They are interested in the Justice League."

"I see. I will let the League know."

"Did you get a chance to speak with Clark?"

"Yes, I did. And actually I want to tell-"

"Is that a wedding ring, Diana?" Etta questioned with a raised brow.

"What?" Steve questioned as well.

Diana blushed. "That's what I wanted to tell you both. Clark and I are married."

"WHAT?!"

"Are you pregnant?"

"No. That's not..."

They both still looked at her questionably.

"I'm not with child. Our marriage is a trial. A bit complicated to explain."

"Was some kind of magic shenanigans evolved with this?"

"It was but that doesn't mean what we feel for each other isn't real. All of it is real. We are taking it as and hoping it is to get to a better place with each other."

Back at the Planet

Clark contemplated if he should call Diana. He didn't want to seem pushy or anything but really wanted to take the opportunity with her.

He got up from his desk to go to the break room as he started calling.

When she didn't answer, he sat at the table, thinking over what to say to her.

"What kind of game are you playing at?!"

Clark looked up to see Lois pissed.

"What are you talking about now, Lois?"

"Married?! Don't act all cocky now, Kent!"

"I'm not. But what's the problem? I was never a concern to you so this is none of your concern."

"I was concerned enough to waste my damn time trying to help-"

"I'm not a charity case, Lois. I didn't ask nor need your help with anything. You and others just assumed of me and ran with it."

"Oh so whoever this broad is, really has made you change your attitude."

"Don't talk about her, Lois. And no, I'm just tired of these assumptions."

"You haven't proven any of it wrong. You are a liar and a creep! Did you get a cheap thrill of acting useless to get attention from me? How long have you been engaged."

"It's not about you and I never wanted attention. And we weren't engaged."

Lois laughed. "This is unbelievable. So you just run off to elope with your ex? Or have you been married and you had some type of open marriage?"

Clark sighed. "This is exactly what I'm talking about. Assuming what you don't know nor can ever understand. You don't know her."

"Who is she, Clark?! Does she actually exist? Is she from some small hayseed town, too?"

"I said stop, Lois. You don't know her. I know I messed up in a lot of ways dealing with things. I said I was sorry but that doesn't give you the right to talk down on her nor me."

Lois rolled her eyes. "You know what? Whatever. Congratulations to you and Mrs. cornfed farmette."

Clark was just about to say something but his phone started ringing. He quickly walked out and made sure no one was around hearing him as he walked the hall.

"Hey, Di."

"Hey, Kal. I'm sorry I missed your call."

"Oh no, it's okay. I was just on break and thought to get a quick call in."

"Is everything alright?"

"Yeah...well as good as it can be I guess but I wanted to ask you something..."

"Oh? What is it?"

"I was thinking about having dinner tomorrow night? Hoping no interruptions."

"I would like that."

"Great. Where will be you be? London?"

"Yes, I'll be in London. Was there a particular place you wanted to go?"

"No, nothing in particular so I'll pick the best spot around to make reservations and text you with everything."

"Ok. Perfect."

"Ok...so, I'll talk to you later."

"Bye, Kal."

They both hung up with huge grins on their faces. If this was truly their chance to reconcile, they were willing to take advantage with any and everything, each and every step, to make things right.
