Diana was reviewing the order information for several new cars but she was finding it hard to focus as her mind wandered elsewhere. She had picked up a pair of knee high leather boots this morning and all she needed now was a mask. She had looked at the masks that the costume store had and thought she needed something better then a simple black mask that covered her eyes. She came out of her fantasy when her phone started ringing. Annoyed that she'd been interrupted she answered and rudely said

"Hello?"

"Hey," said Bruce, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," she said in a more cheerful tone, "just a lot of work to get done today."

"Well then you'll be happy to join me tonight for dinner?" Excited that he wasn't choosing one of the many supermodels he was acquainted with she went to answer yes excitedly but then remembered that she wanted to go out for the first time tonight.

"What time?"

"8:00," he said. Why so late? As much as she wanted to get out to see the city she couldn't turn down his offer. She knew he'd turn straight to one of his supermodels friends if she said no.

"Alright, where are we going?"

"It's a surprise," he said, "Just dress really nice."

Diana left work at 6:30 and went home in a hurry to get ready to go out with Bruce. She had a few nice dresses she could wear out and chose a nice dark red strapless dress. As she was putting her shoes on she saw her black costume lying on her bed, waiting to be worn.

Bruce was fixing his tye in the mirror. To his surprise he had no trouble convincing Diana to come to dinner with him that night. He thought he'd have a hard time getting her to come. He saw Alfred walk up behind him.

"So how long has Diana had this idea in her head?" asked Alfred.

"A few days maybe," said Bruce, pulling on his vest.

"Diana has always had big ideas," said Alfred smiling, "Even as a child I remember her wanting to do the most challenging tasks, like climbing up the tallest tree in the yard." Bruce laughed and said

"Thanks to that idea I broke my arm." Bruce thought back to the warm summer day that Diana had come down to visit him. She had been eleven and he was thirteen.

"Bruce!" He heard Diana yell across the yard. He turned his attention onto her.

"What?" he yelled back. She was standing next to a huge oak tree. It was one of the biggest on the Wayne's property. If he had to guess it would take at least four people to circle the entire tree's trunk.

"Come see this!" she called back. Bruce sighed in irritation and dropped the bat he'd been hitting rocks with and ran over.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Look how tall this tree is!" she said in amazement.

"Ya I know," he said.

"Let's climb to the top!" she said excitedly. "We can do it!"

"No we can't," said Bruce. "The bottom of the tree may have a lot of branches to climb on but the top half doesn't have much, we'd fall."

"We'll be fine," she said. She walked over and pulled herself up onto the first branch.

"You really shouldn't Di," he said.

"You're just a scaredy pants," she said laughing. She continued to pull herself up onto higher branches. Feeling torn between his own safety and the want to go and pull her back down from the tree before she got hurt Bruce paused a few seconds before making the decision to go on up after her. She was at least eight branches up ahead of him and he was having a hard time pushing himself up past all the thick leaves. He needed to catch up to her and he moved faster up the tree to get to her. He felt his heart skip a beat and adrenaline rush through his whole body when his right foot felt nothing but air as he tried to find a place to put his feet. He scrambled to grab onto one of the branches but it was too late and he felt his body falling to the right. Before he knew it he was flat on the ground and a huge amount of pain was coursing through his right arm. He yelled out in pain and held back tears, not wanting to cry in front of Diana and seem like a wussy. He felt anger as she easily hopped back down the tree without missing a step. She was far more agile then he was.

"Bruce you're hurt!" she said worried.

"Clearly," he said sarcastically. He blinked and let a few tears slip past. He sat up and yelled in pain as his arm moved. Diana had tear in her own eyes and she said

"I'll go get help!" She ran off towards the house and Bruce let the rest of his tears pour out.

Bruce came out of his thoughts and said

"It seems like every time I tried to help her or keep her safe she'd end up ok and be the one to get hurt."

"Maybe you should just let her do what she wants, who knows maybe she'll turn out ok without your interference."

Diana saw Bruce's familiar gray Lamborghini come down the street. She smiled when he pulled up and she got into the car.

"Good evening Ms. Atkins," he said smugly. She laughed and said

"You're not going to treat me like one of those supermodels you take out." He smirked at her and said

"Don't worry I won't," he said, "But there will be a lot of camera there, this restaurant is not a low profile place."

Ten minutes later they pulled up to the front of what looked like the entrance to the Buckingham palace. Like Bruce had said there were news reporters waiting outside with cameras. Suddenly feeling a little nervous she turned to Bruce and said

"I'm going to be on TV aren't I?"

"Probably," he said like it was no big deal, "Don't worry Di we'll get some privacy once we're inside."

"It's not that," she said, "I just don't want to be known around the city as your newest arm candy."

"Don't worry about what everyone says, it's all a bunch of talk." He got out of the car and came around to her side and opened the door. The flashes of cameras blinded her view for a few seconds before she stepped out, suddenly feeling very wobbly on her heels. She expected Bruce to curl his arm around hers like she'd seen him do with all of his other dates but instead he took her hand tightly and smiled at her. "It's ok, let's go inside." His warm smile made her feel better and she walked alongside him into the restaurant. Soon they were inside and the doors shut behind them, closing them off from all the obnoxious reporters. She sighed in relief and said

"That was interesting," she supposed Bruce was used to that kind of attention but she'd never been in the spotlight like that before. Bruce told the hostess his name and they were led to their table. His charming smile and smooth talk made her forget all about her plans for the night.

Before she knew it was 9:30 at night and she and Bruce had been talking long after they'd finished their meals. By the time they left there were no more reporters waiting outside for them and it was a relaxing car ride home.

"I supposed I'll make the front page tomorrow," said Diana laughing.

"Just ignore what everyone says, that's what I do," said Bruce shrugging.

"You like the attention Bruce, it obvious," she said smiling at him. They got out and Bruce walked her to her apartment.

"I had a wonderful time with you Bruce and I'm glad I went with you tonight," she said.

"Me too," he said.

Bruce knew the minute he left she was going to run into her room and put on that suit. His expression softened with concern and he softly put his hand on her cheek and said

"Stay safe Di," He ran his thumb lightly down her face before he turned and left. As soon as he got into his car he sped off back to the Manor. He needed to get home as quickly as possible to change and go out to meet her.

Diana did exactly what Bruce had expected and rushed off to her room. She threw her things down and pulled off her dress and got into the latex suit and boots. She still didn't have a mask yet so she'd stay out of people's sight for tonight and just check out the city. She knew getting around quickly was going to be a problem for her. Being a thickly settled area it wouldn't be much of a problem for her to jump from rooftop to rooftop. The buildings were all close together and she wouldn't have to make any magnificent leaps to get around. She started out by going to the roof of her apartment building. She easily hopped over onto the next building and to the next. She didn't look down at the alleyways which were at least four or five stories down and kept jumping. When faced with a building that was taller then the one she was standing on she jumped onto the fire escape or a window ledge to pull herself up onto the roof. She came to last building she could jump onto and was amazed with the amazing sight of the city. Out in front of her she could see all of Gotham's night cityscape. It was so beautiful and she felt hypnotized.

"What are you doing?" roared a voice from behind her. He jumped in shock and turned around to see Batman standing there.
