Diana and Peter finally meet after not seeing each other for over eight months. The affair between one of the most powerful heroes in the world and one of the world's deadliest assassins begins!
To answer a few reviewers' questions:
Lustful-Angel96: Peter's connection to the 'Web of Life' will be explored…
Aniimeziing: It's meant to be a sort of dark twisted parallel version to that. And the spider demon entity's reasons for willingly 'bonding' with Peter will be explored later on. It may not seem like it, but it has its own hidden agenda. I'll also delve into why it's also connected to Kaine around that time as well.

It was a little over eight months since Metropolis when Diana found Peter and a dog sitting on her bed covered in blood and burns.
It was late in the evening with a thunderstorm rolling in when a drenched Diana returned home through the apartment's balcony after a particularly grueling mission with the Justice League when the scent of blood and wet dog assaulted her nose. Diana's eyes narrowed as she slowly drew her blade and approached her slightly opened door which she saw had a bloody handprint on it. She also saw that a small amount of light was coming from within the room, likely one of the lamps on her nightstands
Diana paused just beyond the door frame and listened for any movement inside. What she herd was a voice that she's been longing to hear for quite some time
"Would you stop trying to eat that? There's no telling where that thing's been!"
'Peter!' Diana's eyes widened before she threw the door open hard enough to send it off it's hinges and on to the ground.
Peter didn't hesitate to raise his arms with his web shooters at the ready while a black German shepherd beside him began to growl with it teeth bared.
The black lenses on Peter's mask widened as he saw the form of Diana clad in her Wonder Woman attire enter the room "…I'm not paying for that, just letting you know"
Diana stared at Peter for a moment in surprise before she regained her composure and addressed the man "What in the name of Gaia where you thinking!"
Peter's head quirked to the side before gesturing to his and Wolf's condition "Umm… we needed a place to crash and it's not like we could just waltz into a hospital. Especially given the large target on my back at the moment!"
"What if my roommate walked in on you instead of me?" Diana said with a frown on her face
"I'd tell her that we're… both members of the Justice League and I'm new so your showing me the ropes" Peter said as he scratched the back of his head before letting out a hiss of pain as he accidently scratched a bruise that was still sensitive and started to bleed
Diana sighed and pointed to her bed "Sit down while I get the first aid kit for you and your dog"
"His name's Wolf, he gets snappy if you call him dog or mutt or pet" Peter said as he looked towards the bed before turning to Diana's expectant gaze "Not how I thought my first time in your bed would be"
"Should have taken up my offer after dealing with the android…" Diana said with a smirk as she left to retrieve the first aid kit from her bathroom
Peter let out a chuckle as he sat down on the edge of the mattress while Wolf jumped up and made his way towards the pillows before lying down in a huff.
"Yeah me to buddy, me too…" Peter said as he pulled off his mask to reveal his face covered in purple bruises and a few still bleeding scrapes. The wounds on the rest of his body were already healed with only faded scars and slowly drying blood left. Apparently the entity in Peter thought that a few bruises to the face were less important than some of the other injuries he sustained from his recent assignment
"Peter what did you do to end up like this?" Diana said in surprise at the sight of Peter's face after returning with the first aid kit in one hand and a towel in the other
"This?" Peter pointed towards his face "Is what happens when I took on an Ex KGB agent in the Russian tundra who has his own paramilitary force that happens to have several bodyguards that hit harder than I thought. And after killing most of his men one of his female body guards knocks you out and placed me on a plane bound for D.C. because some government stooge wants to have Spider-man either in a cell or as an unwilling government operative. Thankfully my boss had the foresight to advise me to place a bomb in a small geothermal cavern that was under the man's compound before I was captured. I had it set to go off when I got too far away. Hehehe… kaboom…"
Diana's brow raised at the man's story "You planned to be caught…"
"Yeah… my favorite targets are the ones that do exactly what you hope they do! Afterwards me and Wolf here who I found out was caught too and thankfully not killed woke up, killed the pilots and then bailed out of the plane a few miles off shore and swam the rest of the way which wasn't too fun given the fact it was raining and caught a cab" Peter said with a shrug. There was far more to the story and it was far, far more complicated than he made it sound but he didn't see a reason to go into detail. Job's done and the check he got from Deimos cleared.
It was then that Wolf crawled over towards the edge of the bed "Bark, Bark, Bark!"
Peter nodded at what the black furred canine was saying "Yep… last time I work for some weird Greek guy that's for sure! You know, I'm not even so sure that he was telling us the truth when he said he was looking for a family heirloom!"
The dog responded with a growl of what sounded like annoyance and nipped at the man's arm which caused Peter to hiss and bat his hand like a cat "Hssss, Hssss!"
Diana giggled at the sight of Peter arguing with the shepherd as she placed the kit by his side and opened it and took out some bandages and some sort of oil that had an alluring fragrance to it that drew Peter's attention from his companion.
"What's that?" he asked with curiosity
"It's a healing alloy that I learned how to make when I was a child. It's properties help disinfect wounds and speeds up one's healing by almost two hundred percent" Diana said as she poured some of the oil on the towel and began to rub it on Peter's face gently
"Wow, sounds like first aid clinics are about to go out of business if you decide to go public with that" Peter joked
"Unlikely, it takes almost a year for the oil's ingredients after being mixed to settle and even then it has to be kept in dry environment for the better part of a month. Afterwards you have to heat it almost constantly for another year at a specific temperature without it going one degree over or under" Diana explained the outline of creating the healing oil. There was more to it but she didn't feel like explain the very long and dull process of creating the ancient liquid
"Damn… and I take it the ingredients aren't easy to find?" Peter said as he examined Diana's features closely
"No…"
It was when Diana finished applying the oil to his face and placed the bottle back in the kit did Peter looked inside to see that it wasn't just filled with your standard band aids and hydrogen peroxide. There was a bunch of small gadgets that he didn't recognize and herbs sealed in small jars that were probably mystical in nature if the faint glowing runes on the lids were anything to go by.
"Wow, you have a miniature hospital in there" Peter said as he watched Diana pull out one of the containers that contained what looked like small rocks or pebbles. She pulled one out and offered it to Wolf who took a cautious sniff before devouring it.
"What's that?"
Diana placed the container back into the first aid kit before closing it "A mineral that speeds up the healing process for animals. It also makes them a little drowsy so that way the mineral's effects can work easier"
Peter nodded at the answer before he began scratching Wolf's ear which in turn caused the dogs eyes to close slightly as he slowly begins to drift off to sleep. That mineral was pretty quick.
"So… what have you been up to these past few months?" Peter asked his Diana made her way to a small foot locker inside her walk in closet and began to remove her armor and weapons.
"I've been working with the Justice League mostly… and collecting ancient artifacts of incredible power." Diana said as she removed the top portion of her armor and gently placed it in the locker
"Oh… so what's it like working with them?" Peter asked as he examined Diana's room in the low light.
"Alright for the most part… Though it does get difficult on occasion…" Diana said quietly as she finished removing the last of her armor and stood in her closet deep in thought. She was tempted to walk out bare for Peter to see but she thought that might seem a bit too forward on her part, she didn't want to come off as some sort of slut.
She's had over eight months to assess her relationship and feelings for the spider themed assassin after all. She was well aware that it would be difficult given their professions, Metropolis made that perfectly clear, and should anything between them come to light it could cost her greatly in terms of standing amongst both the Justice League and hero community. Not that she gave a damn, as far as she's concern her private life was none of their business and if they tried to cross that line and use her to get to Peter…
'Olympus help you all if you try…' Diana thought darkly as she reached for a thin white bath robe that ended just above her knees
Several moments of silence passed before Peter herd the closet door open and he turned to see Diana with her hair still wet come out clad in a thin white robe with the upper part still open a little to show the top of her breasts while the waist portion was tied closed with a cream colored sash. The sight caused his eyes to widen as he observed her toned legs and partially covered breasts.
'Sweet mother of the spider demon thing sealed in me…' Peter thought as a blush began to build on his face. He was pretty sure that the demon inside him was drooling at the sight the woman was giving them
Diana placed a hand on her hip and smirked at Peter's gaze. 'Let's see how far I can take this…'
"Peter, would you care to join me for a drink?" Diana asked as she made her way into the living room with a sway in her hips.
Peter looked to see Wolf was sound asleep and slowly rose from the bed and followed the powerful woman out into the living room of her shared apartment. He came out to see Diana gesturing to the couch while she went to retrieve the drinks from a cabinet by the fridge in the kitchen.
Peter took a cautious look around before sitting on the comfortable looking furniture and turned to see Diana entering with two glasses and a bottle of what looked like scotch.
"Hmm, you have good taste" Peter said as his enhanced vision allowed him to better make out the drink's label
"So I'm told" Diana said as she opened the bottle and poured herself and Peter a decent amount of the alcoholic beverage before setting the bottle on the coffee table and handing him his while taking a seat on the same couch. She then placed her bare legs across the man's thighs as she leaned back and took a sip of drinking, all the while eyeing the man's reactions. She didn't want to make Peter uncomfortable with her advances.
Peter on the other hand was really starting to wish he still had his mask on to better cover his blush. He tried to distract himself by taking a sip of the scotch "So what are the other members of the League like?"
Diana shrugged while running a hand through her hair and brushing it to the side "Superman is still a bit of a…" she trailed off as she tried to think of an accurate term for the man of steel "… a boy scout. Flash is talkative, Cyborg a little emo with the whole questioning if he's still human while the Batman is…"
"A brooding paranoid ass that needs to smile every once in a while?" Peter guessed as he slowly placed a hand on Diana's exposed leg and left it there.
Diana didn't show any outward signs but was pleased none the less by his actions "Exactly! It gets even worse when he's left alone with Superman. How they haven't killed each other is beyond me."
"That bad?" Peter asked surprised that the dark knight seems to have a problem with the man of tomorrow
"When they first met, Batman tried to kill him" Diana said plainly before taking another sip of her scotch "The only thing that prevented it was Brainiac's invasion… and me throwing the man off Superman"
"Wow, the Bat took on Supes and was winning?" Peter said impressed that the man could face down Superman and give the man a beat down to apparently rival his. 'I wonder how he did it… did he find out about…'
"He was using some sort of green mineral that's radioactive and deadly to Superman and Kryptonians in general." Diana said unknowingly confirming Peter's suspicions while she examined her finger nails that had black nail polish on them, similar to her toes "I'm willing to bet he still has some left, Batman strikes me as a man who doesn't put all of his eggs in one basket"
"And you'd be right in that regard" Peter said with a shrug
The two drank their respective glasses in silence for the next half hour and quietly listened to the rain outside. Diana at one point got up to lower the lighting in the room before returning to the couch and landing on it with a bounce that caused her breast to bounce ever so slightly.
"S-s-so what was Brainiac, a robot or something? From what I saw on YouTube he looked like if Piccolo and the Borg had a kid" Peter said as he took a large gulp of the scotch while he forced images of Brainiac's appearance to flash through his mind to replace the ones of Diana's breasts bouncing or the feeling of her soft but firm legs on his thighs
"Really?" Diana said with an amuse grin as she pushed one of her legs a bit more into Peter "He struck me as a Reaper and a Martian put together"
"Heh… what's it like working with an actual Martian anyway? He hasn't tried to probe any of you has he?" Peter said as he leaned back against the couch and slowly began to gently rub Diana's leg
"No, that's the Korugarian's according to Green Lantern" Diana said with a straight face
Peter looked at her with wide eyes "Wait, seriously?"
Diana's face broke into a smile before she started to laugh "Hehehehehe… no I don't even know what they do to people…"
"So is he like Superman? Last of his kind, sent here for a reason, blah blah blah, can also get superpowers from the sun" Peter said as he took another larger sip of the scotch
"Believe it or not… he's stronger than Superman" Diana said as she chugged the rest of her drink before reaching for the bottle to refill her and Peter's glasses all the while keeping her legs on Peter.
"Noooo" Peter said in disbelief "He's more powerful that Super boy scout?"
"He was able to fight me, Superman and Green Lantern to a draw… and it turned out he was holding back. He's also a powerful telepath" Diana said as she pushed herself closer to Peter until the bottom of her thighs and rear were resting against the side of Peter's thigh and her feet were dangling over the side of the couch.
"Guy sounds like Piccolo if he went Super sayain" Peter said as he tried to ignore the fact that she didn't seem to have anything on underneath her robe
"Hmm…" Diana hummed in agreement as she reached out and began to rub Peter's shoulder
It was then that his hand shot out and grabbed her wrist, much to her surprise. She looked to see a guarded expression had replaced Peter's smiling face.
"What are you doing Diana?" Peter said quietly as his eyes bore into hers
Diana didn't respond as she met his gaze with one of her own "Relaxing with a friend… why?"
Peter snorted "Diana… I know when a woman is trying to seduce me"
"…Do you… not like it?" Diana asked nervously
"Never said that I didn't, I just want to know why you're trying to sleep with me is all!" Peter said as he let go of Diana's wrist
Diana stared at Peter for a moment before placing her glass on the table and looking at the man "Maybe because I want too?"
Peter quirked a brow at her "Really, with me?"
Diana's eyes narrowed "Yes, is that a problem?"
"No, no, it's just surprising that you would want to is all…" Peter trailed off as Diana slowly moved to straddle him and brought her face close to his. Peter couldn't help but automatically place his hands on her waist as she began to slowly grind against him. He let out a shiver of feeling her exposed sex brushing against his clothed member.
"Ohh I want to alright" Diana said with a coy smile and her voice lowered and took on a seductive tone
"Uhhh…" Peter could seem to find a response to that as he stared at the goddess of a woman rubbing herself against him with her robe falling slightly, exposing a shoulder
Diana smirked as Peter's hands began travel up her robe and grip her breasts while she moved in to kiss Peter-
RNNNG RNNNG RNNNG!
Diana's lips stopped millimeters from Peter's as the doorbell rang before she slowly pulled back and turned towards the locked door with a glare that would have made the Spectre himself pale and whispered darkly "I. Swear. To. Fuckin. Chronus. Himself!"
The amazon rose from Peter's lap that had a noticeable bulge in it and nearly stomped towards the door while straighten her robe. She unlocked it and nearly ripped the door off with her glare still present and prepared to tear whoever it was that interrupted her and Peter's time a new one with her bare hands. Her eyes narrowed at the sight of the three people standing there
Bruce Wayne dressed in an expensive black suit looking a bit uncomfortable, Clark Kent in a far cheaper grey suit she would expect him to wear for work at the Daily Planet looking ten times more uncomfortable than Bruce, and beautiful woman with a blank expression that was a little taller than Diana with fiery red colored hair that was done in a flowing topknot that reached her thighs dressed in a brown overcoat with what looked like a red tiara in her head, partially covered by her hair.
Diana closed her eyes and took a deep breath before asking in a strained voice "Bruce, Clark! What brings you and your friend here?"
"We have a problem!" Bruce said before he slid past Diana and entered her apartment. The billionaire playboy glanced around the room and saw a glass of scotch and two glasses on the coffee table "Are we interrupting something?"
Diana gestured for Clark and the mysterious woman to enter before she closed the door with a little more force than necessary, causing the others to flinch in surprise "No"
Bruce gave her a look that clear said he didn't believe her while Clark looked even more uncomfortable then before as he pulled at his collar
"Diana, we're sorry that we hadn't called ahead but it's important" Clark said as he nodded towards the woman who was removing her coat to reveal she was dressed in a red and black armored chest plate, black pants, red armored boots that reached her knees, and red grieves over grey bandages on her arms.
Diana's interest was piqued at the woman's appearance and how she carried herself. It was fairly similar to…
'No it couldn't be…'
The woman placed her hand out and spoke in a calm but confident voice
"Greetings Princess Diana of Themyscira, I am Artemis of the Bana-Mighdall…"
…
And done.
Yep I ended the chapter right there! Looked like it was going to delve into a lemon but nope Superman and Batman have unknowingly cock blocked Wonder Woman…
I've also decided to introduce Artemis from the Wonder Woman mythos who will be joining Diana's group of people that act as a support cast. The woman was also Wonder Woman at one point, only she preferred a bow and arrow to a sword or lasso like Diana prefers. I've also used her DC rebirth appearance because honestly it looks awesome!
And Chronus is the Greek deity that's the personification of time, not Cronus the titan that ate his kids and all that though misinterpretation over the years has confused the two which eventually gave rise to the figure 'Father time'
