Back at the Restaurant

"Here you go miss" the waiter appears with shark fin soup.

"Hey who are you?"He gazes at Byakuya who was peering out the window.

"Where did she go?"The waiter continues to demand but Byakuya just pointed out the window.

"Say I better call the police" The waiter drops the soup on the table and ran for a phone. Byakuya continue to observe from where he sat it bother him that he could only watch and not participate but he knew she wouldn't have it any other way. By the time police arrived Diana had successfully apprehended all the bank robbers. To Byakuya's relief she had been knick with a flesh wound but was fine other than that. Byakuya paid for her meal and joined her outside.

"Oh I could have walk in with you" Diana blushed watching him carry her doggie bag.

"I insist this is the least I can do"Byakuya flash her one of his rare smiles. Just then a man appears in the air with a red cape and a yellow s on his chest.

"Diana!"Superman yells flying over to her. Diana could make out Batman's silhouette as well.

"We were worried sick about you" Superman landed and embraces her in a bear hug. Diana questions him with a look. Before Superman could explain himself Batman jump in.

"Black Canary and Maxima alerted us as soon as you disappear" Batman extended his right hand out. Diana could see the tracking devices which he was so fond of in his belt compartment. Superman looks at her.

"We search high and low but found no evidence to go on" Superman continues to explain Batman's explanation.

"I'm sorry that you two search relentlessly" Diana looks from Superman to Batman.

"I would have contacted the League but there were no phones or computers" she explains.

''I was afraid of that" Batman looks suspiciously at Byakuya who was standing on Diana's right. Byakuya remain in his spot unfazed by Batman's silent accusations.

"When the girl you rescue came forward and gave us her story we had an idea what happen then" Superman gently added.

"Clark was worried that you had been killed" Batman lowers his voice quietly but enough for them all to hear.

"We weren't willing to give up though" admitted Superman who acknowledges his fears.

"I knew better though" Batman replied quickly keeping his voice steady.

''I am grateful for that" Diana smiles laying a reassuring hand on Superman's shoulder since Batman doesn't like to be fondled.

"All that matters is that you are safe" Superman patted her hand. Batman narrows his eyes as he glances to and from Byakuya.

"Who is your friend?"Batman moves his chin in Byakuya's direction.

"Yes, who is he?"Superman looks interested in Byakuya.

"Oh permit me to introduce Byakuya Kuchiki"Diana reaches over and tugs on Byakuya.

"Please to meet you" Superman elbow Batman out of the way. Batman just steps back and observes Byakuya from a distance.

"Please to meet you"Byakuya bows causing Superman to retract his hand.

"We are in Japan" Batman murmurs reminding Superman his place.

"Oh I am Superman" Superman bows "and this is Batman" he gestures to his left. Batman continues to stand withholding his courtesy.

"Don't be offended he is always like this" Diana tilted her head over so Byakuya could hear.

"I see"Byakuya narrow his grey eyes at Batman. Batman continues to stand behind Superman.

"Well I am glad that you help Diana in defeating that awful monster" Superman continues as if nothing happen. Batman could be heard clicking his tongue. Batman took the time to look up Byakuya's biography and found that none exist. Batman peered from his research his watch provided.

''Why is there no such biography on your friend?"Batman threw a questionly glance at Diana. It was Byakuya who interfere

"There would be none since I am consider to be dead and have been for a very long time". Superman step back in shock.

"Allow me to explain" Diana assures Clark. Once Diana had finish her story it was Batman's turn to drill.

"So you are saying that you can waltz in here" he gestures around them "anytime you want?" Byakuya nodded his head slowly while keeping his eyes on Batman.

"You want me to believe that cup of horse crap?"Batman retrieves his extended hand in his cape. Byakuya continue to nod.

"Alright then I guess I will buy it" Batman looks over at Clark to see if he understood the story. It was clear that he did otherwise he was disguising it very well.

"Should we leave?"Batman turns his attention once more on Diana.

"Oh well" Diana looks over at Byakuya then at Superman.

"Is there something wrong?''Batman analyze her bewilder look.

"I want to remain behind" Diana carefully chose her words.

"You mean a vacation?"Superman asks but Batman read between the lines.

"You want to stay here with him don't you?"Batman pointed at Byakuya.

"Yes I do" Diana's words finally roll out" I want to stay here permanently". Superman looks from Byakuya to Diana then to Batman.

"So you are willing to give up your role as Wonder Woman?"Batman tried piecing the whole story together so he can have a better understanding.

"Yes the way I figure it you can have Wonder Girl or Super Girl take up my empty spot'' Diana gesture hopelessly.

''You are one of our strongest" Superman started to say but Batman held up his hand

"If that is what you want Diana then we will recognize your retirement" Batman answer. Superman shot Batman a look.

''Thank you" Diana looks at Batman. The pair normally doesn't see eye to eye but this once she was grateful he understood her. Superman seems unable to grasp the concept.

"We should be leaving" Batman spun around and left. Superman gazes sadly at Diana but soon follows Batman's lead. When Superman caught up to Batman he asks

"Why did you let her do that? Don't you know she is making the biggest mistake for herself?" Superman paused for him to answer.

"You see Clark she never had anybody and when she found Mr. Right as we would say well she is better off out of the game than in it. No sense in having her around if her head is going to be in the clouds" Batman open in his bat jet.

"But you don't think she will get bored?"Superman asked.

"That is for her to find out after all she has her own life'' Batman jump in the jet.

''One more thing" Superman stops him from closing the cockpit.

"How do you know if she is with a good man?"Superman asked.

"A hunch besides you can only find one in a million" Batman smile while clicking his seat belt on.

"Maybe she got lucky after all" Superman nodded finally grasping the whole picture.
