Chapter 4-
Okay this chapter I am going to start before Batman and Superman find Wonder Woman and Veronica fighting, I am just going to show you how the fight happen and then go from there.
Veronica opens her blue eyes and looks around the small dark room. She is able to locate the dim light of the alarm clock across the room.
'How long have I been asleep and where is Bruce?' She thinks as she gets up.
She feels her legs nearly buckle under her but ignores it. She is curious and decides to take a walk around to see what all the fuss is about this place. She has heard a lot of stories down on earth but has never really cared about them since she has always had more pressing issues to attend to.
Just as she steps out of the secretive Batman's room the fastest man in the planet is walking by. Flash looks up from his mussing of what he has witness just a short time ago to see a maroon hair, blue eye beauty.
"Well hello." He says giving her his best smile. "Who may you be?"
"Veronica." The woman answers.
"That is beautiful name. It sooths you."
"You're making a big mistake." A female voice says from behind him. "Did you notice whose room she just left from?"
The two turn to face a winged woman.
"What do you mean?" The Flash asks.
Shayera signals to the door where Veronica just came out of. The usually perky man's eyes widen in surprise.
"Oh," he exclaims making the women laugh.
"You act like you're afraid of B-Batman." Veronica says.
"I am not afraid. I just… I am just careful when around him. He is a no nonsense type of guy." Flash says.
"Yeah, but deep down inside he is a big softy." Veronica answers with a big smile.
"So you know him pretty well?" The other woman asks as the three start walking around.
"I would like to say yes but we haven't been together in a long time. I been busy traveling the world and he has been busy with this I guess." Veronica shrugs. "Now we are just friends. Believe me he is a good friend to have."
"We know." Shayera says.
"So you're single now." The winged woman glares at him as the new woman nods slowly in answer. "Let me introduce myself then I am The Flash."
"You mean Wally." Veronica says giving him a playful smile.
Flash's jaw drops making her giggle in response. Shayera laughs as well.
The three stop as they enter the dinning area. Everyone stops what they are doing to look at them, well more specifically the new woman.
"Hungry?" Shayera asks.
"Famish." Veronica answers.
"You're my type of woman." Flash says placing an arm around the new woman and leading towards the buffet. "I am lucky tonight getting to eat with two beautiful women."
"Hum." The three heard from behind them.
The three turn to see Wonder Woman walk fast away from them.
"I don't think she likes me very much." Veronica says.
"It might be because she is jealous of you." Flash says.
"Ha, why would she be jealous of me? She doesn't even know me. Very few people truly know me." Veronica says turning pale as she looks down.
Shayera looks at her sadly. She can tell she is carrying a very heavy burden on her. She places a hand on the other woman's shoulder.
"Come on; let's go have something to eat."
The three head to get something to eat.
"Wow that is crazy." Flash says as they are walking back to Batman's room.
"I know. That guy is totally mess up. To actually think that I would be interested in him." Veronica was telling the other two one of her stories. One that soon lead to her meeting Batman.
"But to have a villain like the Joker hitting on you." Shayera shudders at the thought.
"You're telling me."
"So how did this lead you to meeting our dark knight?" Flash asks.
"Well Batman had heard that the Joker escaped and has taken a hostage. Some rich heiress I believe." Veronica stops and lets out a laugh. "The only thing is that when he was finally able to locate us the Joker was the one in need of assistance. He really pissed me off and I kind of went puff."
"Puff?" The two asks.
"Let's just say that the gloves he wears are now hiding his 'little' problem." Veronica lets out a sigh before smiling once again. "Anyway Batman was impress. The look he gave me made me have butterflies in my stomach. It was like love at first sight again, for me at least. So when I saw all the bodies of the unconscious accomplices of the Joker I couldn't help but kiss him. He is an amazing…"
At that moment she is interrupted by someone bumping hard into her. When that woman doesn't apologize Veronica turns angrily at her.
"Hey, you could apologize." Veronica screams at her.
"I don't feel like it." Wonder Woman says turning to the side.
Flash and Shayera gasps but the other woman doesn't even flinch.
"Well I might have to make you." The other woman answers back with the same detached voice.
"I will like to see you try." She says now fully facing her.
"You know what; you're not worth my time." Veronica says walking away.
Wonder Woman gets mad and pulls Veronica by the shoulder to face her once more before throwing a punch her way. Veronica quickly ducks and moves behind the Amazon before kicking her ass making the princess even more angry.
Wonder Woman turns as she unleashes a kick on the way barely gracing the other woman's chin as Veronica tries to move backwards but ends up hitting a wall instead. Just as she begins to come out of a daze state she sees a fist flying her way before moving to the side and hearing the hard sound right next to her left ear. Before she can do anything else she feels Wonder Woman's fingers around her neck. Her warm breath tickling her nostrils and chin.
"You insolent…" the Amazon princess starts but stops as she feels her hand warm up.
But not just warm up she feels like her hand are on fire. Before she can react she is push away and kicked to the floor by the very fiery woman from the day before. Then she is surrounded by a fire wall all around her.
That is when the two women see their stun audience for no one has stood up to her and actually won.
They then see Batman and an open mouth Superman before the man of steel finally says something.
"Ronnie, it's that really you?" He says.
Veronica turns to her human form and look over at her ex boyfriend and the man she never thought she will see again, her ex husband. She is so surprise that the wall surrounding Wonder Woman disappears but before the Amazon can move once more Batman grabs her arm.
"You should get back to the room." Batman says to Veronica before walking away with a very livid Amazon princess.
"Everyone else move out." Superman says to the assemble crowd. "The show is over so I suggest you go back to what you were doing."
All the heroes begin to go talking amongst themselves to what they have just witness. Shayera and Flash give Veronica a small smile before leaving her with the man of steel.
When they are left alone Veronica gives Superman one hard look before walking away.
"Ronnie, we need to talk." Superman says following right behind her.
"There is nothing to talk about, Clark, and stop calling me Ronnie. You stopped having that right long ago." Veronica says walking faster.
"Ron…" he begins but stops when she gives him a hard look. "Veronica, love…"
"Love? Are you joking with that?" She says letting out a laugh. "I would rather you still call me Ronnie than that." She finishes.
"I am sorry. It's just you been in my mind lately." Superman says looking down. "Actually every time around this time of year I think about you the most. You do know what is approaching soon?"
"If we are going to be arguing we should do it somewhere private." Veronica says as she opens the door to Batman's room. "Come on."
She stops in the room and turns to face him as he closes the door softly.
"I can't say that I remember, Clark those days so long ago I have burned out of my mind so long ago." She finally says quietly. "It's not like you can blame me for that. So know tell me what is really in your mind?"
She crosses her arms over her chest and waits for him to go on. A few minutes later he talks.
"So…what is going on with you and Batman?" He says after a lot of consideration.
She narrows her eyes at him.
"That is none of your business. You don't see me asking you about your personal life and that reporter that hangs on you like cheap drapes. The moment I walked of your life I stop having that right, as you have as well the moment you stop believing in me."
"So you know about me and Louis?"
"Everybody knows about the two of you." She looks away letting out a breath before facing him once more. "But you want to know the truth? He is the best man that has ever been in my life, not to mention I love him to death. He trusts me. He understands me. He loves me. I just wish I would have met him first instead of you."
"You don't mean that." He says walking towards her.
"Don't I? You abandon your family, Clark, your wife and your son. You believed them and not me; the woman that gave you her soul and heart, your devoted and loving wife, but you chose to believe your parents, my parents. You know what its worst? You still don't believe me."
Superman grabs her arms.
"Veronica, why would they lie to us? If we were already happily, no blissfully married why would they want to do that to us?" He shakes her a little. "They care about us and raised us. I don't understand why they would feel they needed to do that. You're talking about me not trusting you but you didn't trust our own parents."
"What would I have gain in lying to you Clark?" She pulls away. "You better go." She says fighting tears that are threatening to go down her cheeks. "Batman should be back soon."
"Have you told him about us?" He says walking towards the door.
"I love and trust him, what do you?" She walks towards the window. "I've told him some stuff, well almost everything he just doesn't know it's you."
A few minutes pass by where she stares out into the enormity of space and then Veronica hears the door open and close. She turns around to find Batman and Superman looking into each others eyes before Batman looks over to her.
"What is going on here?" The dark knight asks suspiciously looking between the two of them.
