Chapter 3


Me: Hi! I'm walking to the supermarket to get some food so I can make my favorite Olive Oil Pasta with Garlic-Basil Shrimp!

(I'm walking towards the supermarket)

(Lightning strikes me)

Me: Aaaaaahhhhhh!

(I black out)

Me: What? What happened?

(I start to stress out)

(The Earth starts shaking and rocks start floating and breaking apart)

Me: OMG! I've got superpowers!

(I start to freak out)

Me: OMG! I'm a geomancer! What am I going to do what am I going to do, what am I going to do?!

Booster Gold: No worries ma'am, I'll be okay. Booster Gold is here to save the day!

(BRAINSTORM!)

(I focus and make one of the rocks rush towards Booster Gold and I have it press him against the wall)

Booster Gold: Mmh!

Me: Say the disclaimer

Booster Gold: Mmh!

Me: SAY It!

Booster Gold: MMH!

Me: OOOHHHH! (Sheepish) Sorry!

(I make the rock pull away from Booster Gold and he falls down to the ground)

Booster Gold (weakly): Mythology Bookworm does not own any characters of the Justice League. DC Comics are the lucky people that do.


"What do you think you are doing here, Princess?" I asked. As she stepped out of the corner, I felt my heart jump as it always did when I saw her. My heart was unmovable, but this 5'11'', blue-eyed, raven-haired goddess seemed to be able to do the impossible. Make me feel.

I blinked as my eyes adjusted to the bright lights that gave light to the Batcave. I had teleported here half an hour ago, filled with anger at the fact that, once again, Batman had abandoned us. Once I realized though that Batman was not at the cave, I decided to wait till he came. And as I leaned against the wall I managed to slowly calm myself down and think calmly about the situation.

I understood that Gotham came first, if Themyscira was ever in danger, I would fly of there to help in a heartbeat. But didn't he see that Gotham would be destroyed if the world was?

"Where were you?" I asked, letting only some of my anger seep through. I was known for letting my emotions get the better of me, indeed even Clark, who was very like me in that regard, had commented on it. But I was a princess and, though I would be the first to admit that I wasn't the best at it, I had been trained in diplomacy since I could walk.

I did have some restraint and I was using all the willpower and control Hera had given me, to use it. But I should have known it was nothing compared to the master of control.

He gave away nothing, though with his cowl on I wouldn't have been able to see any reaction anyways as he said simply, "I was busy."

"As was I. And our fellow Leaguers. There was nobody in the Watchtower. Nobody except Wally. That's how busy we all were. So don't give me that crap, Batman."

"Crap, Princess? You've been spending too much time with Flash. What would Queen Hippolyta say when she finds out her innocent daughter has been corrupted?"

"I am not that innocent, despite what all of you seem to think. And it's Wally, Batman. It's Wally. We are all the Justice League. We all have each other's backs. We all know each other."

I didn't have to remind him off the fact that he was the only one who had not revealed his identity to the others. Though we were reluctantly allowed access to the Batcave, nobody was to know where it was or to find out who he was.

A pause seemed to go on eternally as Batman and I continued to stare at each other, neither of us giving an inch.

The tension grew until Batman said softly sharply, "Last time I checked, I wasn't an actual member of the League. Now, Princess, if you will excuse me, I have to finish up writing the personal bio on the attempted child rapist that I spent the past 24 hours tracking and watching."

A stab of pain at the abrupt dismissal and a bit of embarrassment hit me, but I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of seeing me back down, give up. He was going to try to push me away, well I'd push right back.

"Batman, I…"

"…Diana, are you there, Diana if you can heat this please respond," Shayera's voice came out of my ear comm.

Activating the audio receptor and staring at Batman, I replied, "Yes, Shayera, I'm here. What I it?"

"Just checking in on you. Wally told us you finished you mission early but you weren't here. And since I'm on monitor duty I asked him where you were but he just suddenly made up an excuse and ran away. Typical speedster. Ugh! I swear one day I'm going to to…"
"Shayera, focus please."

"Right. Sorry. Anyways, I wanted to ask, where are you? We couldn't get a place on you."

Realizing that of course, Batman would have made it so that nobody could locate the Batcave by GPS or connect through the comm links, I assured her, "Don't worry Shayera, I'm at the Batcave."

Diana amused, saw Batman's eyes narrow and she knew he too heard the sound of someone spitting out coffee as Shayera's, "Shit" and other colorful words describing just how good hot coffee felt spilled one's lap were heard through the comm.

"YOU'RE at the Batcave. THE Batcave? Dark, freezing cold, gloomy cave filled with the teeny tiny little creatures and a big hulking OCD emotional black hole?

Barely able to contain her laughter, I replied, "Do you know any other Batcave?"

"Okay, good point. But nobody goes there except for Clark. And that's only if Batman invites him! You are so giving me the details once you get back. An you have to tell me how your little date went. I mean the guy gives a whole new meaning to hot mess but still… "

Is it just me or did Batman raise an eyebrow under that cowl of his? "Um, Shayara…"

"Crap. He's right there listening isn't he?"

"Uh, ha."

"Then I'm out. But remember, details Diana. See you in a little while."

"Bye, Shayera."

Disconnecting the comm I turned towards Batman, intending to continue our discussion. However I noticed that he was still looking at me but this time with one of those infuriating smirks.

"What?" I asked.

"So I'm a hot mess?"

I blushed at his knowing smirk, I hated it when he got all flirty like that. It made me so confused, his mixed signals. One moment he was all hot and smoldering, then cold and distant. It was enough to make any woman crazy, and I had no real knowledge of any of this. But I gathered up my courageous I looked straight into his eyes and said, "You know you are."

The smirk immediately disappeared from his face and I knew I had overstepped my bounds. It was an unspoken rule that we were never to talk about this connection between us. Though it was only he who wanted to keep it buried. But I am an Amazon, and it is not in our nature to keep our feelings hidden.

"I think it's time for you to go, princess." He stated lowly.

"Batman…"

"Go, Diana. You know how I feel about this,"

Keeping my pride intact, I forced myself to stand straight and walk towards the telaporter without turning around.

"Oh and, Princess," a cold voice remarked. Pretending to ignore it, I kept on walking.

"Don't let me catch you in Gotham again."

The sound of a wall or something being hit, no smashed, underground could be felt by everyone in a 10 mile radius surrounding Wayne Manor.


Hey everybody! It's MythologyBookworm here again! Poor Booster Gold. I know I haven't introduced him but I couldn't help myself. First I want to give a thanks to Lloyd RPGFan for her correction of Gotham's prisons. Though I know quite a bit about the Justice League and its characters I don't know everything so if any of you find something that you believe I should correct please let me know. Also, as a reply to mbembet and any other readers who believe that these chapters are too short I wish to apologize but as a senior high school student taking 3 AP classes and 2 college classes I am really busy and unfortunately do not have a lot of time to write fanfics. Luckily, I just finished my last final for this semester today so I just have one week of easy school o go through and then 3 weeks of writer break so I'll try to make the next chapter longer. Also, sorry for the delay but I will be putting up the first chapter of my new fanfic, Summer With the Cahills up in a couple hours tonight so please try it or recommend it to somebody you know is into the 39 Clues series. Now I'm trying to decide who is going to be the guys in this fanfic. So please choose from one of the bad guys in the poll I'm going to be putting up on my profile. The three choices are Cadmus, the Secret Society, or Ares. If you can access it then tell me your choice in your reply. Or, if you have another villain or villains in mind then let me know as well. Which reminds me, PLEASE REVIEW! I would greatly appreciate it. Well till next time, my fellow otakus. Ja ne!
