Diana's POV
Kara's cape was thrown over her head haphazardly as she flipped it up and away from her head. Her blonde locks sat a mess atop her head as she frantically batted the loose strands from her face. "Diana!" she bellowed as she jumped to her feet excited. I didn't even have time to react before I felt her equally strong arms wrapping around my torso in an embrace. "It has been such a long time!"
"It certainly has," I responded as Kara stepped back and lightly clutched to each of my shoulders.
Thor groaned as he lifted himself to his feet, the handle of his hammer still clutched tightly within his grasp. I watched as Kara turned to look at him, one of her thin blonde eyebrows raising to the skies. She lifted her left hand to point at Thor. I could tell she tried to hide her obvious attraction to the blonde Norse god.
"Who…is your…friend?" She managed to blurt out, but what caught my attention more was the glint emanating from her left ring finger. I furrowed my eyebrows as I yanked her hand towards me, eyeing the unique stone setting atop her knuckle.
"Kara, are you engaged? To whom? Grayson?" I asked, having assumed that she and the former Robin finally realized their clandestine future together.
"Not exactly," she started as my face morphed into confusion.
Suddenly, the dark form that I was all too familiar with landed amidst the three of us. His dark cape surrounded him like a black pool of water as he slowly rose to his feet from a crouch. He didn't even acknowledge my presence as his gaze locked onto Thor. He took a few steps forward, keeping his jaw squared as he stood toe to toe with the Norseman.
"Who are you?" Batman said in his gruff, intimidating baritone of a voice.
"I am Thor. God of Thunder, King of Asgard, and the strongest Avenger. You must be the Man Bat."
"You think you're a god?" Batman beseeched as I took a step forward, placing a hand delicately on Batman's arm.
"Bruce," I said without even thinking. Batman's head turned towards me in a flash. I could see the anger fuming within his eyes through the holes of his cowl.
"Are you out of your mind using my real name in front of this stranger?"
"He is a friendly," I countered as I watched Batman look over his shoulder at Thor with a scowl.
"That is yet to be determined," Batman said through clenched teeth.
"Hun, these two almost literally fell out of the sky together. They appeared right in front of me out of nowhere and I crashed right into them. Besides, why would Diana lie to us?"
Did she just call him 'Hun'?
"If it would make you feel better I can give you references. I am certain Tony Stark and Bruce Banner would vouch for me," Thor said as he nonchalantly twirled his hammer.
Batman stared on at him blankly before idly shaking his head. "I have no clue who those people are."
I on the other hand stared between Kara and Bruce, still hung up on her calling him 'Hun'. "Are you two…together?"
Kara parted her lips to answer before a creature with wings that flew past us with such speed interrupted her the speed was so fierce it caused tussled hair and capes. Kara cleared her throat.
"Was that a Parademon that just flew past us?" Kara asked so matter of factly it would have bothered any other company aside from the company of superheroes.
"You want a chance to prove you are who you say you are?" Batman said as he removed a grappling hook from his utility belt.
"One step ahead of you, Man Bat," Thor said with a sardonic grin, the hammer rotating in a circle above his head. His form lifted into the air, followed by a disgruntled and mumbling Batman who launched his hook into a nearby building and followed suit.
"I promise I'll explain everything later," Kara said with a small smile.
"So you two are together!" I bellowed as Kara continued to smile, ignoring my comment before launching herself into the air in flight. I pursed my lips together in slight irritation as I unsheathed the sword from my back and started to run. Once I spotted a good enough spot to launch from a planted my booted feet into the curb and used the leverage to launch myself into the air, scaling across buildings as I did so to join the others.
A portal had opened above us where dozens of Parademons flew into the sky screeching as they did so. Batman did not hesitate to jump into the fight as his grappling hook caught onto one of the demons. He held on with both hands as the rope pulled him towards the demon, his hands raising to collide with the demons face and sent it catapulting towards the ground. He leapt to another demon, which struggled to knock Batman off him, as it seemed that Batman used the demon for his wings. While the two struggled, Thor's hammer suddenly launched past Batman's face and into another approaching demon.
Batman's eyes widened behind his cowl as he watched Thor's hammer fly past his face again and back into the hand of its owner. "You almost took my head off!" Batman bellowed as Thor smirked.
"It would seem as though, I saved your life. You are welcome," Thor said as Batman's eyes narrowed into slits.
"Fat chance," Batman replied as his head collided into the demon that was currently his only source of flight.
Gravity began to pull me back towards Earth after I leapt as high into the air as I could go. I grabbed onto the nearest demon slamming my sword into its shoulder and began to use it as a living hover board. I watched as Kara appeared near me, punching several of the demons and using her heat vision on others that were of a further distance from her. She grabbed onto one and spun around before launching the demon into several others like a bowling ball into pins.
"So, I was thinking, "Kara began as she spoke between punches.
I removed my sword, kicking the demon in the face before I performed a back somersault in midair. I saw several demons flying at top speed towards me and I slammed my gauntlets together causing them all to tumble backwards, flipping several times before losing momentum and plummeting towards the ground.
"Is this really the best time to have a revelation?" I asked, grabbing onto another Parademon, fighting him into submission.
"There is never a bad time for a revelation! I think we should go on a double date!" Kara bellowed with excitement, punching demons in between her words, not the least bit distracted.
"A double date with who?" I asked quizzically, grunting as one demon launched what felt like a rock at my back. I looked over my shoulder with a grimace as I pushed from the current demon towards the rock thrower, launching the balls of my booted feet into his chest.
"You and Thor, silly. I may be from another planet but I wasn't born yesterday!"
"You honestly think Bruce would be up for that?"
"Doesn't matter if he is or not because I'm for it," she responded with a coy grin.
"You know what, let's do it. Just as soon as we force these things to retreat," I replied, when suddenly the loud noise of crackling thunder and lightning cascaded across the sky. Dark clouds appeared and I knew exactly the source of the sudden weather change. We both looked in the direction of Batman and Thor. Thor's eyes glowed as the lightning entered his hammer and began to swirl around him in waves.
"Well, if that doesn't make them retreat," Kara said as we watched Thor launch a multiple directed lightning strike towards all the surrounding demons. Once they all convulsed a few times, they fell to the ground like a slew of dead flies, including the one that Batman had been hitching a ride. Batman glanced around himself, realizing there wasn't another demon in sight. As he began to fall, he looked over at the electric Thor with a grimace before he launched his grappling hook behind him. It latched onto a nearby ledge on a building and he pulled himself towards it crouching atop it.
We watched as the portal reopened and the few remaining demons scurried into it as fast as their dragonfly looking wings could carry them. I tucked my legs into my chest as I cascaded back down to the ground, landing atop one knee. I glanced up towards the skies as Kara floated towards Thor and they exchanged words. She was undoubtedly informing him of the up and coming event.
The following evening…
"So, let me get this straight? The only reason you two met was because you both were summoned via portal to some Elder of the Universe's alternate dimension, so that he could study your godly powers?" Kara said, leaning forward in the booth at the table we all sat in at Giorgio's Italian Restaurant. She wore a light blue cocktail dress that hugged her curves and sat next to Bruce Wayne, who donned his trademark pristine suit and tie.
Thor, who also donned a suit and tie, but had his long blonde locks pulled into a low ponytail, pressed his index finger to his nose and then pointed it at Kara.
"Precisely," Thor said as he gave that sexy, Cheshire grin that always managed to make me weak in the knees.
I smiled at him as I reached a hand under the table to squeeze at his nearest knee. My long, dark locks fell in cascades around my shoulders, complimenting the red cocktail dress that I wore. "Ask Bruce how he met Kara, though," I said, my eyes panning over to Bruce who cocked an eyebrow at me.
"Oh? Do tell," Thor said with another grin as he took his glass of beer into his hand to take a swig.
Bruce cleared his throat as he leaned into the booth, wrapping his arm about Kara's shoulders. Kara responded in kind as she leaned backwards, nuzzling into the crook of Bruce's arm. They were so adorable they made my teeth ache.
"Well, I discovered Kara's…well, transportation in Gotham harbor when I was conducting an investigation. It was a matter of following the screams that started to occur like dominoes within the city as she was walking around stark naked, running into vehicles, shooting laser beams from eyes, you know the typical sort of terrorism," Bruce began as Kara's eyes widened, her hand idly slapping him in the shoulder in response.
"Okay, seriously, you're making me sound like a crazy woman," Kara said with a light laugh as Bruce raised one hand to rub at his clean shaven chin as if he had to think about it. This action received another slap from Kara.
"In my defense, Thor, I didn't know that the Earth's sun would give me these crazy powers, I didn't speak the language, and I was supposed to have arrived 30 years prior to when I actually did but my 'transportation' got thrown off course. I was completely out of sorts," Kara replied as I smiled, looking back and forth between my three counterparts. It gave me an overwhelming sense of contentment that though we were all incredible beings for own reasons and in our rights, we could still be as human as the family two tables away from us.
"I still did not follow the reason you wore no clothes, however," Thor said as he lifted the glass of beer to his lips again, peering over the rim at Kara.
"Well, that I don't actually have an honest answer for you," Kara said as the realization sunk in. She slunk back into her seat, leaning into Bruce again. Bruce leaned over with a smile and placed a kiss on Kara's temple. I couldn't be certain, but I could've sworn her cheeks blushed.
"So, Thor, you really are a god?" Kara asked.
"Yes. I am the son of Odin, former King of Asgard. I can control lightning and conjure a storm at will, amongst other things," Thor said as Bruce idly rolled her eyes.
"I believe we got a firsthand account of that parlor trick of yours yesterday," Bruce said as he lifted his tumbler of Scotch to his lips. Kara furrowed her eyebrows and idly elbowed him in the ribs. He responded with a grunt, the ice in his tumbler clinking against the glass.
"You never seemed to be bothered by my lightning Bruce," I mentioned, crossing my forearms subtly towards him with a smile.
"I've also known you for years, Diana," Bruce said all seriously. I honestly wondered if he could count the amount of times he cracked a smile in his lifetime on one hand.
"Bruce, I can assure you that I am on your side. Where I hail from, we have a very similar group of superheroes akin to what you have here. The Justice League, I believe Diana mentioned it is called? Our purpose is the same we just choose to see it as more avenging rather than, well justice," Thor replied as Bruce only nodded in response.
An awkward silence suddenly cascaded across the table. Kara cleared her throat as she lifted her purse and began to rummage through it.
"So, we were going to formally send these out next week, but I wanted to ask you personally since you are here," Kara started as she slid a card towards me.
I lifted the card to read that it was a wedding invitation to occur in six months' time. It said the wedding of Bruce Robert Wayne to a Linda Alura Danvers. I smiled to myself, having never imagined Bruce getting married, and certainly never to Supergirl.
"Your middle name is Robert?" I said raising my eyebrows to Bruce.
Bruce muttered something into his glass before he smirked. "Funny, I figured you'd be surprised it wasn't something like Bartholomew."
"Now that you mention it, it is rather…well, normal," I replied. "Of course we will come, Kara. I wouldn't miss it for the world."
"Well, I actually was sort of hoping you would be my, maid of honor?"
I slapped a hand to my chest in shock as I felt actual tears start to well in my eyes.
"Are you kidding?" I started as I scooted from my seat, Kara following suit as we embraced, tears beginning to flow and I felt like I was 12 years old again as a girlish scream escaped my lungs. I could see Bruce and Thor out of the corner of my eye, awkwardly looking across the table at one another.
"Are wedding festivities always like this on Earth?" Thor asked with a clearing of his throat.
"Just wait until the actual wedding," Bruce said with a smirk. Bruce lifted his tumbler, idly jiggling it back and forth. Thor caught the idea as he too lifted his glass and they clinked them together before downing the remaining contents of their glasses.
Wondering when and how Batman and Supergirl got together? It happened in the first story in this series: Let's Keep This Between Us !
