Hello! So the last chapter would have been longer, but I didn't have time to write this part until today and I wanted to give you guys something. So here it is! Thanks for all the support!
Diana POV:
I slowly cracked my eyes open blinking away the dirt and plaster. I looked around, smoke blocking most of my view. My eyes were still filled with a hollow ringing. I started to push myself up when my eyes connected with Batman's face.
I began calling his name, but I couldn't even hear myself. I lean closer to his ches, watching for his breathing. Before I can tell Kal is flung into me, and the two of us roll away before crashing into the remains of a wall.
I crouch and begin to stand back up. Kal taps on my shoulder and I look at him. I watch his lips for a few times when I realize he's mouthing my name. I point to my ears, and Kal nods. With that Kal jumps back into the smoking fray.
Dimly, I begin to hear the sounds of battling, and the sounds get louder and louder. I finally find Batman again. This time when I lean close to his chest I can hear his heart beating and the whispers of air flowing in and out of his mouth and lungs. Knowing he's safe I'm able to turn my attention to the battle.
Able to hear now, I head to the loudest sounds of fighting. The source of the sound is Hawkgirl and Flash doubleteaming one of the martians. The white martian is swinging left and right and changing forms to defend itself from the onslaught. I easily slide up behind him, and timing his shift into a solid form, I throw the lasso arond him, and quickly followed it with a few jabs at its pressure points. I guess it was a good thing that Batman made us go over martian anatomy.
"Nice shots Wondie!" compliments the Flash as he walks up.
"Thanks, do you think you could do something about this smoke while Shayera and I lock the martian up?"
"Sure thing," is all I get before he takes off zooming around the room. Hawkgirl helps me quicky lock up the white martain in the cell next to where Batman and I locked up his buddy earlier.
This time when I look around I can actually see what's happening. Kal is locking up the white martian he was fighting earlier in a cell across the room.
Near the doorway Jonn is staring down the leader. I could tell by the body language that Jonn was gaining the upper hand.
I walk over to Kal and softly ask, "should we help?"
Without turning his gaze from the mental fight in front of us he responds, "no, I think this is something Jonn needs to do."
I nod my head in agreemeent, and just as I do so the white martian crumples down to the ground. Jonn follows falling to his knees, breathing hard, but it's obvious who the winner was.
Kal grabs the leader and places him in one of the cells. Flash and Hawkgirl go to check on Jonn. I'm finally able to really see if Batman is ok.
He's caked with dirt and grime and plaster, but I think I was able to shield him from the brunt of the explosion. I kneel down next to him, and run my fingers along his jawline. I'm met with a grunt.
"Batman are you ok?" I inquire, relieved that at the very least he's conscious.
He wheezes, coughing a little before answering, "I'm fine Diana." He begins to push himself up, ignoring the hand I offered.
"Well I'm glad your ok," I say, anger sharpening my tongue. I stalk away, heading toward Jonn.
