More procrastination for the date, but I think it'll be in the next chapter!! Sorry. BTW: I DO not own Justice League, Flash, Batman, Hawk Girl, Jo'hn, Diana or anyone else. I don't own any T.V show. Or book. Or magazine. Or cartoon in a newspaper. Or AD in a newspaper. I DO, however, have a subscription to a newspaper. I think... But, other then that: Nothing. Zip. Nada. Sorry. No mooching.

Chapter 4: Bank Robberies Suck

Wally grinned at his reflection in the window of the shop, pushing down a cowlick. He looked through the glass and spotted a dark haired woman, reading a newspaper. He smiled proudly, and began to walk in.

Flash.

"Dammit," He muttered to himself, though Jo'hn probably heard it. What is it Jo'hn?

There is a problem in your vicinity. The martian replied.

Is anyone is direct danger? He asked.

Well, no, but the bank is currently being-

Jo'hn. I understand I'm The Fastest Man Alive, but there's a guy who almost as fast as me around the corner.

Superman has an important meeting.

So do I! Date, man!

Bank Robbery, Wally. When the martian said his name, Wally knew he was pissed and frustrated. So was he, but Jo'hn didn't care. What was a mad, fast, scrawny kid in comparison to a mad shape shifting, telepathic martian with short shorts on?

Fine.

He sighed and rolled his eyes. Just then, Amazon Lover, his one and only love, he was sure, stood up and left the cafe with a sad glance over her shoulder. He stepped gingerly out of her way, eying the pavement. She didn't give him even a glance. She seemed pissed and he wondered whether she thought he had stood her up, which he was about to do, but hadn't yet. He sighed dramatically, then walked to an alley to get dressed.


God, Jo'hn. Could you have worse timing? Diana marched down the street, her heart pounding wildly. Her ONE chance at a date, and what did Jo'hn do? Call her for some mediocre bank robbery taking place in her 'vicinity'. When she complained that Flash would already be at the robbery, being both the protector of the city, and the fastest man alive, he responded that he already contacted him, and that she was just back-up. SHE was HIS backup. And while she was being back-up for some fast punk, WallyWest182 would be waiting in the cafe. Her one hope was that he would wait a while, and that the bank robbery would be taken care of and she wouldn't be needed. She growled at a couple in her way, and they moved swiftly out of the angry-looking woman's way.

Good choice, she thought to herself. She was mad. Those robbers were going to be very, very remorseful that they made her miss her date.


Batman stared at the scene. He was mad. And confused. And happy. Not because Diana didn't get to have her date. He didn't care that she was dating. He was just happy that she hadn't been embarrassed. Not that he would have cared if she had been knocked down a notch. And Flash didn't even show. He sighed and leaned back in his chair. What had happened? He got into the Justice League computer to check missions around Central City, and nearly burst into more insane laughter.


"Jo'hn!" Hawk Girl landed beside the green Martian, looking more then a little peeved. John felt a little sorry for Jo'hn. He was in trouble. A lot of trouble. Hawk Girl had worked for a week to get Diana and WallyWest182 together, and they FINALLY have the chance for coffee, and what does Jo'hn do?

"What?" The martian asked innocently, turning. Hawk Girl's mace looked like it was already crackling with electricity.

"Diana had a date." John said quietly. "And you took her away for some small robbery that Flash could have easily handled." Jo'hn shrugged.

"She was back-up."

"She had a date," Hawk Girl snarled.

"She can reschedule it." Jo'hn replied reasonably. But, unfortunately for him, Hawk Girl wasn't reasonable. And, since he kinda-sorta liked her, John wasn't either. He followed suit. As back-up.


"Damn Back-up!" Diana muttered, now in costume as she flew to the bank. She noticed Flash fighting with some thug. He punched him hard in the nose, and the goon fell, out cold. Blood covered the young hero's glove.

"Yucky." He muttered in distaste, shaking his hand quickly. The blood remained and he scowled. "Ewwy."

"Yucky. Ewwy." Diana told him with a raised eyebrow as she landed beside him.

"Yo, Princess!" He said, apparently happy to see her. "What are you doing here? I needed company. I thought Jo'hn was sending me on my own." He mocked sadness. Diana rolled her eyes.

"Shut it, speedo, or I'll shut it for you." However, she couldn't hide her small smile. Flash grinned.

"Speedo?" He chuckled lightly, the walked towards the bank. "Coming?" he called over his shoulder.

"Wish I wasn't," Diana replied, following suit and heading towards the scene. Three masked robbers were standing by the tellers desk, each with a gun in their hands. The tellers were fumbling uneasily with money.

"What- I'm not great company?" Flash asked, picking up the five tellers in five runs, in less then one blink. He deposited each of them outside the bank.

"Well, that too," Diana replied with a smirk. She flew to one of the thieves, their bullets knocking off her wristbands. She punched one of them into a wall. He slumped after he collapsed to the tile floor. "But I did have plans."

"Me, too," Flash complained, running and punching the remaining two robbers; their guns dropped to the ground. One fell to his knees and started to crawl for the door, while the other remained on his legs, and began to run for the exit. Flash appeared before him with his classic grin. "Dude- fastest man alive. Ringing bells?" He punched the guy in the face, and he fell unconscious. "But Jo'hn called me away for some inexperienced bank robbers," He said, continuing his talk with Diana. Diana nodded in annoyance.

"He said you need back-up." She walked slowly to the final man, who was breathing heavily on his knees, continuing to find an escape route.

"Me?" Flash laughed. "I could do this in my sleep!" The man on the floor finally collapsed, completely exhausted. He turned to Flash and glared angrily.

"Who you calling inexperienced?" he finally demanded. Flash looked confused.

"You." The man rolled his eyes, and finally drifted away. Flash glanced at the clock.

"Maybe she'll still be there!" He said, though the hope in his voice was obviously feigned.

"You got a date?" Diana asked teasingly. "Who'd be so stupid to date you?" Flash rolled his eyes.

"Ha, Ha. You're so funny, you should be the new team jokester." He muttered sarcastically.

"You call yourself the team jokester?" Diana asked with a chuckle at his expense. Flash shrugged.

"I like the sound of it. Now, later. I gotta get back to my Amazonion." He raced off, leaving Diana with a very confused mind. But, she got over it quickly, disregarding his last sentance as a joke she didn't understand. Maybe she could be in time for the Cafe?


Wally stared through the glass. He had seen her go, but he had been hoping she had come back. Which she hadn't. He muttered a few words, then began to walk away.


Diana marched to the cafe. She saw a redhead turn a corner and began to chase after him, but the high heels Hawk Girl had suggested she wear were not Amazonian high heels, designed for fighting. She tripped, and levitated from biting into the sidewalk. As she turned the corner, he was gone.

"Good going, Diana," She muttered to herself. Her last thought was that Jo'hn would pay.


"Jo'hn!" Flash shouted. Jo'hn slowly came through the wall.

"Are you angry with me?" He questioned. Flash rolled his eyes.

"You bet your alien butt I'm mad at you!" Flash replied. "I had a date!"

"I know you and Diana both had dates, but you were closest to the bank." Flash sighed, then smiled slightly.

"You know who she was going to date?" He asked with a wicked grin. Plans of spying on the two of them and pulling pranks on them all night on one of their dates danced through his head. Before Jo'hn could reply, Batman walked in with a smirk on his face.


"Billy Watson, or something," He told him easily. "Now. I'm going to help you set up another date." He grinned. "I checked her profile, and I know what girls like Amazon Lover are like." His smile spread. "I know the perfect place for you to take her."
