"Come, Alfred. I need to find her and tell her!" and both men started running up the stairs and just as they were to make it through the door they heard a heavenly voice from the shadows behind them: „Tell me what?"
Both men's feet froze. They turned around and there she was. Even in the shadows, her beauty radiated the entire room. After a few moments to regain himself, he took of his cape and cowl.
"Alfred, take care of this, please."
"Very well, Sir. Miss Diana.", and he return down to take care of the items he was entrusted with.
Bruce jumped to where the woman of his dream was, put his left hand on her shoulder and took her hand in his right. He looked into her eyes and she saw a look full of adoration for her.
"Come with me" he said and led her out of the cave, up the main stairs, through the master bedroom and onto the balcony. The morning had not yet come, the night sky was still prevalent, though the first rays of dawn were visible on the horizon. He put his arms behind her back and pulled her closer to himself. She put her hand on his chest, so he couldn't pull her completely towards him. She looked at him and saw that his eyes hadn't changed. He was still looking at her as if she was everything and except for her there was nothing at all. In his eyes, it truly was that way. She looked at him with a loving, if slightly confused look. He was supposed to tell her something, so what is he waiting...
"Diana, I... I..." he stopped and took a deep breath, and looked into her eyes, that showed a slight fright at his stopped confession. "Diana, I love you so much. I love you more than words can say."
Her mouth formed a smile, her hands went from his chest to around his neck. Her head lay on his shoulder, he rested his on her hair, which he was stroking with his left hand while holding her strongly to him, as if he'd never let go. After some minutes they released each other just enough so they could put their lips together and the kiss they shared lasted, and lasted.
When their lips eventually parted, Diana spoke first: "Bruce, I'm happy you finally said it, happier than you could possibly realize. But we still need to solve some issues."
Bruce was struck confused for a moment, but then he remembered. There was still the matter of him kissing Selina, and the understanding or misunderstanding of THEIR home.
"Bruce who is Andrea Beaumont?"
Struck by the unexpected question he took a moment to answer. "Andrea was the first , and only woman aside from you, that I could have had a future with. But life was against us. There were... problems. After that I..."
"It's okay. You can tell me the details later..." she said, stopping him from remembering that part of his past. „But there is still the thing about you kissing Catwoman..."
"Diana, I'm sor..."
"Just don't do it again. Ever. With any woman."
"Except you. But you do realize we're going to have to make you Bruce Wayne's official girlfriend then, right?"
"Always thinking of your reputation as a playboy, huh?" she smiled.
"Somebody has to..." he said in his cocky voice, but turned serious soon after. "We still need to clear up what I meant when I said that you should go home..."
"You explained that you meant here." She noticed her reply had surprised him a little, and that he tried to recall. "What does that mean for us, Bruce? That you want this to be my home?"
"Our home. Diana, you are the most precious part of my life and I want you close to me no matter when, where or what."
After a short silence, Diana spoke in a teasing voice: "Well, I don't know, Bruce. This place is awfully big. We might get lost in it and not even be able to find each other during the day. I think you're going to have to persuade me some more."
"That can be arranged, princess. Though we'd have to get out of these uniforms first..." he smirked and lead her into the bedroom.
And so they did. They took of their uniforms and hid them in a special vault Bruce had built into the wall. He went to take a shower. She declined his offer to join him under the shower, but wasn't about to pass up on the opportunity to watch as water flowed down skin.
Diana slipped into a silk nightgown, and Bruce in a pair of silk pants, they laid into bed together, and after a good night kiss fell asleep in each other's embrace...
