A/N: I'd like to thank the support I have on this story! Didn't think it would get much what do you know!
"This place looks amazing," Diana exclaimed, admiring the expensive décor surrounding her. The Amazon certainly did appreciate fine dining.
"La Gastronomie," Clark responded in a smooth French tone, eliciting a smile from the princess. "Oliver owns this restaurant, so I knew I couldn't go wrong."
"Are you sure you can afford this?" she asked worriedly, furrowing her brows. Clark's heart nearly skipped a bit when he caught sight of the worried Wonder Woman. Her aquatic blue eyes, framed by incredibly long dark lashes, were wide with concern and her white teeth bit just slightly at her full bottom lip.
Keep it together Clark. He scolded himself and cleared his throat.
"Oliver owed me a favor. I'm sure," he said reassuringly. Diana breathed out a sigh of relief. She looked beautiful in a sparkling red strapless dress, gold necklace and complementing red heels. She had no makeup accompanying her face, and it wasn't like the princess needed it. Her porcelain skin and luscious curls of jet black hair were enough to make any man drool.
"You look…incredible tonight," Clark said quietly. Diana's eyes widened just slightly and her cheeks grew pink.
"Thank you…you don't look too bad yourself," she replied eyeing his expensive looking dark blue suit. He shrugged.
"Another favor from Ollie," he chuckled and straightened his jacket. Diana smiled wearily and tilted her head.
"Are we going to discuss clothing or," she paused giving him a knowing look.
"That's why I called you here today," he admitted and Diana straightened up.
"I'm all ears. Tell me everything," the princess said firmly and Clark knew she meant business. It was time she knew why he had recruited the entire league in Gotham.
"I'm guessing you've heard about the-"
"Hello," a smooth voice interrupted the pair. In front of them stood a tall, slender yet curvy brunette. Her caramel eyes had a devious look to them, and her smile looked force. But her posture seemed perky and polite.
"Selina?" Diana asked in confusion. It was Clark's turn to look confused. This was the same familiar woman Bruce had introduced him to yesterday.
"You work here?" Diana asked trying to hide the laugh slowly escaping her lips, earning her a glare.
"Yes," Selina said curtly. "And I'll be your server today."
"Clark," Diana said turning back to the man before her.
"This is Selina my…friend." Selina could barely hide her smirk. The feline never considered this woman her friend.
"We've met before," Clark murmured. Diana raised her eyebrows and glanced at Selina.
"Ah yes, it would appear so," she mused. Something about this Clark Kent made her feel odd. And the fact that he was with Wonder Woman made her suspicious.
"I'm so glad you both could come to this wonderful restaurant," Selina hinted, smiling innocently at Diana.
"Of course kitten," Diana shot back, smiling innocently as well.
What's up with these two? Clark thought silently.
"So how did you and Clark meet?" Diana asked before Selina could say anymore.
"Bruce Wayne introduced us," she replied eyeing Clark. Not bad looking, Selina judged and whipped out her notepad. Something familiar about those eyes though…
"Bruce is known for…acquainting people," Diana muttered with a flip her hair.
"Can I take your order now?" Selina placed a hand on her hip impatiently.
"Sorry, of course," Clark cleared his throat once again. She rolled her eyes noticeably which stung Clark. Why did this woman seem to dislike him so much? He'd only met her once before and tried his best to be polite.
Once they'd ordered, and Selina stomped her way back to the kitchen, the two resumed their conversation.
"You've heard of Catwoman before, right?" Diana asked, completely off topic from their original conversation. Clark was taken aback by the sudden topic change.
"We've met," Clark admitted and Diana drummed her fingers on the table.
"What was she like?"
"Thieving, compelling…" he paused. "And tempting I might add. I couldn't decide if she wanted to attack or seduce me."
He doesn't know, Diana thought. Clark had no idea who Selina Kyle really was. And it certainly wasn't her place to tell him.
"Why have you brought up Catwoman? Have you met her before?" he wondered and she shook her head quickly.
"Catwoman and I are two very different people. It would be unlikely that we cross paths," she lied smoothly. He seemed to believe her.

After the two members of the league had finished eating their food and Selina rudely tossed them their check, it was time to call it a night.
"So the justice league will go on patrol tonight," Diana stated as Clark paid the check.
"Right. The disappearance of lead seems to be occurring through the night."
"And you think we'll be able to stop the crook doing this?"
"Not a crook," Clark insisted. "Bizarro."
"Are you absolutely sure it's him?"
"He's knows it's a weakness. Of course I'm sure." The amazon sighed just as Selina came to their table to collect the check.
"Hope you enjoyed," she mumbled, taking the check.
"The service was excellent," Clark said with a smile. He'd hoped he could correct his wrongs to whatever he did to this woman.
"Thanks Clark," Selina replied, avoiding his gaze. Those large blue eyes were really getting to her. Diana watched the awkward interacting with the two.
"What's up with you two?" she asked when Selina left.
"Nothing," Clark said quietly. "Nothing at all."

As soon as the tired brunette entered her apartment, she kicked off her Chanel pumps and threw herself on her plush couch.
"Bad day?" Jen guessed from her spot on the loveseat.
Selina groaned loudly.
"Did I ever mention how much I hate customer service?" Jen laughed.
"At least you get paid the big bucks Hun."
"I guess." Selina stretched her legs. "I think I just want to crash tonight." Jen raised her blonde eye brows.
"No Catwoman tonight?" she immediately clamped a hand over her mouth. Selina laughed.
"Not tonight. Selina's way too tired." That seemed to satisfy Jen.
"Alright kitten. This girl's gotta sleep." They hugged each other good night and she watched her disappear in the bedroom. She was lucky Jen was a light sleeper, for she only waited ten minutes before a soft snoring could be heard.
"Purr-fect," Selina whispered and danced to the living room closet. Time to let the cat out.

"Wonder woman, Aquaman. Flash, Batman and Green Lantern," Superman assigned the groups of the league.
"Hey how come you're by yourself?" The Flash pestered.
"Because I can be. Do we all know our groups?" The league nodded and Barry huffed.
"Yessir!" he exclaimed obnoxiously. Superman sighed. The Flash could be a real pain when he wanted.
As the team split up, Superman automatically flew to the heart of Gotham. The exact same place he met Catwoman. The man of steel didn't know why he was here; he didn't even realize where he was until he'd landed.
Maybe he'd hoped to see her again? He quickly shook off the thought. Sure Catwoman seemed incredibly alluring, but he had no idea who really was, let alone what she looked like.
Superman roamed the city, roof top by roof top when he spotted something. Near the Gotham City jewelry Department, a feminine shadow lurked. The shadow
The sly movement, the cat like stance gave it all away. It was her.
He had no choice but to confront her again.
A/N: So this took forever! I kept messing up and redoing certain parts of this chapter. I really wanted to make it right! I feel I did this ending part a little sloppy but :/ Well hope you didn't wait too long! As always, R&R!
