I Want You

London, Kensington Gardens

Hippolyta quietly sat on a bench looking out to the beautiful morning scenery. For the past two going on three weeks her beloved daughter, Diana, was an emotional wreck. No matter how strong Diana tried to be, Hippolyta could see her sadness. She had always been like that as a little girl. Stubborn little Amazon that never wanted to cry in front of anyone. She would only rarely show her emotions and open up to the very few people she trusted the most.

Hippolyta never would've thought she would be here, in man's world. She never thought she could bring herself to trust the outside world. But Diana has changed so much of her view. Showed her that while things were not perfect, so much has changed.

Even Kal-El, has shown Hippolyta that even if it was a rarity, there were men that could be trusted and who could be respectful to women. Kal had immense power, worshipped as a god by some, yet still remained so humble, a noble, honorable man that has proven time and time again that he was worthy of Diana's love and heart.

Flashback: Themyscira

Hippolyta was in the artistry temple painting when the Amazonian guards rushed in.

"Queen Hippolyta! Queen Hippolyta! Please hurry!"

"What happened?"

"The Princess...she has been badly injured."

Hippolyta and the guards rushed to Diana. Hippolyta gasped seeing her daughter unconscious carried in Kal-El's arms, wrapped in his cape.

"She is stable and I've tried all I could."

"Bring her into the temple."

Once inside, Kal quickly laid Diana down gently and unwrapped his cape from her body. She was covered in blood and bruises. Her breathing was faint. Kal leaned down and kissed her forehead gently.

"Move, Kryptonian!" An Amazon yelled.

Kal quickly stepped back.

"It's best you leave now," another said.

Kal sighed and flew out of the temple.

"Take care of my daughter," Hippolyta ordered.

"Yes, your Highness."

Hippolyta stormed out the temple quickly, hurrying to stop Kal from leaving.

She saw him standing by the shore looking out into the ocean.

"Kal-El!" She called quickly going towards him.

He turned. "Your Highness, I'm so sorry I-" he stopped talking abruptly as Hippolyta raised a sword and had it pointed dangerously close to his neck.

"You broke your word."

He swallowed hard. "I...No, please let me explain."

Hippolyta glared at him. "My daughter is dying because of you."

"Please put down the sword."

"What happened? Don't let me have to ask again."

"Ok...ok...We were helping the Lanterns in a battle with Larfleeze. I told her to pull back when things started to get out of control but she didn't listen. She wanted to keep fighting." Kal paused and looked at Hippolyta. "I'm sorry. I should've held her back. I should've done more to get her out."

Hippolyta raised her sword. "If my daughter dies, Kryptonian, it will be on your hand!"

Hippolyta suddenly went into a rage. She swung her sword and Kal quickly dodged her strikes.

"Woah! Woah! Wait! Your Highness!"

"You said you would protect her!"

"I know..."

"You brought her here bloodied and bruised!"

"Your Highness!"

"I trusted you with my daughter!"

Hippolyta swung the sword once more this time slashing Kal's arm as he blocked. He winced.

"Your Highness...please...stop."

Hippolyta dropped the sword, tears falling uncontrollably as she held her head down. Kal looked at her shocked and was hesitant but he stepped closer and hugged her.

"Diana is strong. She is a fighter and still fighting. She won't die. I will never let her die."

Hippolyta hugged him back and cried more into his shoulder.

"If you speak a word of this to anyone, I will have your head."

"Understood."

Flashback End

"Good Morning, Hippolyta."

She looked up and smiled. "Good Morning, Kal-El."

"I grabbed a latte for you from the café. Diana's favorite. White chocolate mocha with extra caramel. She told me a while ago you liked it, too."

"Thank you."

Kal smiled and sat beside her.

"How is she?"

"Stubborn as always but filled with regret. I've listened to her cry herself to sleep at night for these passed few weeks."

"I wanted to call or even send her a text message but I knew she would probably ignore it. Seeing her in person would've caused a problem too."

"She believed you were angry with her. She wanted to call but thought it was best to give you space."

Kal sighed. "Diana has always put so many people and their feelings ahead of her own. She thought that she was holding me back. That I would be happy with someone else. But that's not it at all. I miss her so much."

"You really do care for my daughter?"

"She means so much to me. She is my best friend."

"That's what she says about you. Though, I believe you two have defined that in a much different way then what it suppose to be in man's world."

"She's been my rock. Kicked my ass a few times." Kal stopped realizing what he said. "Sorry."

Hippolyta nodded." I understand, Kal."

"She's just amazing."

"You've never told her about the sword incident?"

"No..." he laughed a bit. "Although she has questioned why I get a little nervous with a certain look you give and being close to sharp objects."

Hippolyta looked at him with a raised brow.

"That one. That look. Reminds me of the look Ma used to give when I was a kid."

Hippolyta smiled and placed her hand on top of Kal's.

"No need to act unnerved. You have proven over all this time you are worthy of my daughter's heart. I give you my trust and my blessing."

"Thank you, Hippolyta. But I don't know if Diana will even talk to me to give me...us this chance."

"Oh, leave that up to me."

A few hours later...

"Yeah Bruce, I don't need to hear I told you so."

"You said it yourself. It's the same thing you have been doing for years. What are you going to do this time."

"Those times don't even compare to this but I have a plan. I just hope it works."

Flashback: WatchTower

Kal walked into the training room to see Diana kicking robots. He sighed and felt a bit nervous really not wanting to end up like the robots.

"Diana?"

Hearing him, she frowned and hit the robot harder.

"I just want to talk."

"I have nothing to say to you."

"Come have dinner with me."

She stopped and turned to look at him with disappointment.

"Clark...please...not now."

Kal quickly got in front of her. "Hit me."

"What? Kal, move."

"You want to. So do it. You are taking your anger out on these damn robots. But that's not enough, so hit me."

Diana was just about to turn away from him until he took her hand.

"I'm sorry, Diana."

She looked at him to see the sincerity in his eyes.

"I was just trying to-"

"I know what you were trying to do but I don't want or need you to put yourself at risk like that again, trying to fight my battles."

"I know you can fight your own battles."

"But you don't trust me?"

"Of course I trust you but don't want you hurt or worse. I can't let that ever happen."

"There are sacrifices and risks we make together as as a team...as partners but there are also some we must make alone. You have to trust me and my judgement."

"I understand." He nodded. "Now could you please, come with me for dinner?" He pleaded with a hopeful smile.

Diana sighed deeply with a hint of playfulness not able to resist. "Fine."

Still holding her hand, they left out the training room and he guided her to a conference room.

Diana gasped seeing how he made up the conference room with the conference table decorated set for two face to face.

"You did this for me?"

"Yes. It might be too much. It might not be enough but I just want to show you how sorry I am. We can talk and start over."

Diana couldn't help but smile and to Kal's surprise, she kissed his cheek.

"This is more than enough."

Embassy

"Diana, call him," Mera demanded.

"I want to but I can't."

"Why the hell not?"

"I'm not sure what to say right now."

"Seriously, Diana? Tell him how you feel. Tell him you love him. Aren't you the goddess of truth and have the wisdom of Athena?"

"Mera, that has nothing to do with this. If I tell him, it will be difficult for us to move on for the better."

"No, it will be difficult to try to keep pushing him away knowing damn well you want to be with him. Years of the flirting, will they, won't they. Enough."

Diana sighed. "This wasn't suppose to go this far."

"What? Thinking you can just have a baby without you two showing your true feelings? I can't believe you are still on that."

"I feared losing my best friend."

"And yet, now you are on the verge of losing him completely anyway."

"This is a total different battle field."

"Yes, it is. And you are going to need your man by your side. I told you and you witnessed what Arthur and I went through. Dinah and Ollie, Shiera and Carter. The entire league knew the risks and sacrifices both of you made and it was more than any of us ever did. Diana, what you and Clark both deserve is each other."

Diana was silent for a moment. "Thank you, Mera. I do have a lot to think about."

"I have to go but I'll talk to you, later. Call him, Diana."

Diana deep breathed as she looked at the clock. 2:30 pm. Kal would've text by now counting down the time for them both to get off work.

She picked up her phone and went to his contact tempted to call him. She shook her head and put her phone down. No, she had to let him go. It was for the best.

"Ms. Prince?"

Diana looked up. "Yes, Michelle?"

"Here you go. These were just delivered." Michelle walked up, placing a bouquet of daffodils on her desk.

Diana frowned confused. "Oh?" She then smiled. "Thank you. Do you know the sender?"

"Oh, no ma'am. Just the mail carrier said they were for you."

"Oh...ok. Thank you again, Michelle."

She smiled and nodded walking out Diana's office.

Diana picked up her phone again, debating. Of course she knew who sent the bouquet. Kal was the only one who has ever sent her flowers. She couldn't deny, she was happy he was thinking about her. Relieved he wasn't mad but she still couldn't bring herself to call him just yet.

An hour and a half later...

Diana sighed finally home. Mentally preparing herself for the inevitable moment she would sit idle in her bed and no matter how hard she tried not to, she would cry herself to sleep.

When she walked in, she expected to hear the living room TV on or her stereo on with classical music playing but it was quiet.

"Mother?" she called closing the door. "Mother, I'm home."

Still silence. Diana tossed her keys on the table and frowned.

"Why didn't she call me and tell me she-" she stopped abruptly talking to herself out loud and gasped as she walked into the living room.

She was in awe, stunned to see her living room covered with bouquets of different flowers that represented love, purity, innocence, beauty, and loyalty.

She gasped again.

Standing right in the middle of her living room was Kal-El.

"Hippolyta is with Hessia. She helped me with this."

Diana was even more shocked.

"The daffodils represent new beginnings. When you asked me to be a donor and we started this journey together, it was a new beginning for both of us. A new life we can enjoy, together."

"Kal, I-"

"Remember when we first met?"

"How can I forget? In the middle of a fight you kept staring at me, flirting and being a bit of a show off."

Kal chuckled and nodded. "I was instantly mesmerized by you and in that moment I knew my life would be changing even more and for the better. Diana, when I was a kid, no one understood what I was going through. I grew up holding in so much until I met you. I could easily talk to you and you understood because we've got so much in common. We've gone through so much of the same."

"I know that. That's why I want better for you."

"And I want better for you."

"You told me you aspired to have a life like your parents. You want a marriage and kids. You can have that, Kal."

"When I said that, I meant having the kind of partnership they had. They were a team just as you and I are." He paused for a moment. "Remember the first time we laid in the field watching the stars?"

Diana looked at him confused.

"That was a beautiful night. We didn't even have to talk much. We've never had to say much because the tension between us says so much more than what we could ever say in words."

"Why are you saying this?"

"Our first argument, when you stopped talking to me and ignored me for 2 weeks and that was the first time I made dinner for you to let you know and show you I was sorry."

Diana bit her lip and her face started to heat. "I remember."

"When we were on patrol together and on those really quiet nights-"

"You went to go get pizza, would wrap your cape around me for no reason in particular and sometimes even you would hold me in your arms..." Diana stopped getting herself caught up in reminiscing. "I remember everything, Kal. Even the smallest, simplest things. I cherish it all."

"20 years of memories together. What I want, Diana...I want more of that with you."

Diana shook her head. "This is different than all of that. This life isn't for me. I can't have a child, Kal! I can't have your child! I-"

"Then we will adopt!" He blurted out.

"What?!"

Kal moved over to her and cupped her face. "We'll adopt or not have children at all. I just want to be with you no matter what."

"Kal..."

"I love you."

Suddenly, Diana's heart fluttered and tears streamed down her face.

"What did you say?" She asked in a whisper staring into his eyes.

"I said I love you and I've been in love with from the moment we met 20 years ago. You know me better than anyone. Even better than I know myself. And I know you, Diana. I love everything about you. From your laugh, your smile, the way you walk and talk, to your facial expressions, and the attitude you always have when you get pissed off," he said. Then he laughed slightly. "Di, you have this affect on me that no one else could ever have. This kind of relationship we have, there's not, can't, and won't be any other like ours. "

"I...I don't know what to say," she confessed.

"Tell me how you feel," he said softly gently wiping her tears with his thumb. "Tell me truthfully what you want. No more trying to deny it and doubt it."

Diana looked down trying to quickly gather her thoughts then looked up at him, staring deeply into his eyes.

"I want to be with you too but this frightens me. These feelings I have for you are so deep...still feel so new. I've had debates with myself about opening myself up because for so long I thought I shouldn't have these kind of feelings for a man. I thought about the stories I was told and heard on Themyscira. I believed I shouldn't give myself to a man in the way I've given myself to you. Be so open, showing my vulnerability. But I've learned so much for myself. There's no weakness to have what we have. You are no ordinary man, Kal and what's between us isn't ordinary."

"We've faced a hell of a lot of unordinary things and have taken some unordinary risks."

"Yes, we have."

"So let's not stop this unordinary life we have together. You said you were holding me back. No, Di, what's holding me back is not being with you." Kal kissed her lightly. "We've created our own sense of normalcy and that is what I want. I want you, Diana. I love you, so much."

Diana caressed his cheek. "I love you, too, Kal."

She took a deep breath and exhaled relieved feeling a weight lifting off her shoulders. She felt so much freer telling him those simple yet powerful words.

Kal smiled. "It feels so good to hear you say that."

"It feels so good to finally tell you and for me to hear you say it as well."

Kal pulled her into a loving embrace. Their lips met in a passionate kiss. Diana loved the way he made her feel, and this felt right to both of them.

When they pulled apart, Diana was smiling.

Mount Olympus

Hera and Eros looked down into the scrying pool.

"This union is quite powerful. I can feel why so much was held back."

"This union creates new bounds, new challenges for us all. No such thing as this should be held back."

"Are they ready?"

Hera nodded slightly. "This union shall proceed..."

Kal's hands tangled in Diana's hair as he kissed her hard and passionately. Diana kissed him back, equally intense and passionate, their tongues dueling. Kal pressed himself against her hips, and Diana could feel his erection through his jeans.

Tearing his mouth away from hers, Kal breathed hot, wet kisses against her neck and shoulder while Diana pulled his shirt up. His mouth was gone for only a second while he took off his shirt, but it seemed like an eternity to her.

With both hands on the back of his head, Diana kissed him deeply, inhaling him, making him part of her.

They broke apart, panting. Diana took the opportunity to take of her shirt and Kal nipped at her neck before placing open-mouthed kisses there. Kal made his way down further leaving little kisses all the way through. Diana caressed his hair as his face was buried in her cleavage.

"We should move this to the bedroom," she whispered.

"I was just thinking the same," mumbled Kal still with his face buried on her cleavage.

Diana giggled starting to get breathless.

Kal scooped her in his arms and took her into the bedroom. He gently laid her down in bed. Diana was smiling as she reached up caressing his cheek. Kal smiled back at her before taking her lips into a lustfully kiss.

Kal softly made his way to her back and unclasped her bra. Diana took it off without breaking their kiss and tossed it to the floor. Diana's hands then reached for his pants and she started to unbuckle his belt and unzipped them. Kal broke away from their kiss for the moment and moved his hips away from her enough to slide down Diana's skirt.

After discarding the remainder of their clothing, Kal towered over Diana once more and rested his forehead against hers, both of them breathing heavily.

Diana moaned and ran her hands up his chest and around to the back of his neck as Kal slid his hands across her entire body. Diana's small whimpers filled the thick air as her nails scratched at Kal's back. His breath was haggard and primal as he lowered his lips to her throat, kissing her pulse and eliciting a deep moan. Kal grinned triumphantly against the flesh of her collarbone.

He lowered his head down further and began to worship her chest. He started squeezing her breasts gently, making her moan. Squeezing them a little harder before planting wet, open-mouthed kisses everywhere, enveloping her nipples in his warm, inviting mouth, teasing them with his tongue, gently nipping and sucking at them. Diana held his head still as his teeth grazed along the tender skin of her breast and arched her back as she let out little needy whimpers at his ministrations.

"Mmmh...Kal?" she whispered.

He looked at her and she took her chance to roll them over, straddling him. She sat up, and Kal found his breath being taken away by her exquisite beauty. Diana leaned down, kissing his neck, making her way down to his chest and abs.

Diana bit her lip and smiled with a look of desire in her eyes. Kal flipped them over again before he captured her mouth with his again, kissing her in shorter, yet still passionate kisses.

Staring straight into each other eyes, Kal slowly entered her. Diana gasped, closing her eyes and pressed her nails into his back. She threw her head back and moaned in sheer ecstasy. Kal groaned breathlessly at the sensation of her wrapped around him. His movements were so gentle. They found the perfect rhythm. Skin sliding against skin, and they were so lost in each other physically, emotionally and spiritually that neither was sure of where one begins and the other ends.

Kal kissed the place where her neck and shoulder met and bit down just enough to leave her with a love bite. Diana ran her fingers through his hair, breathing heavily, kissing his cheek, jaw, chin, neck, wherever she could reach.

Diana tightened her legs around him and tightly gripped the sheets, trying to maintain her breathing. Her whole body filled with passion and pleasure. She trembled as Kal picked up his pace, thrusting deeper and harder.

There were feverish kisses and hands everywhere. Hard, quick movements replace the gentleness and teasing from minutes earlier. There was a hunger between them, a desperate need to be as close together as possible. Kal could hear and feel Diana's heartbeat, and he was pretty sure his own changes to match hers. He has never felt more connected to anyone.

"Clark…" she gasped.

He captured her lips in a mind shattering passionate kiss. His hands trail over the sides of her body and down her thighs before he grabbed both of her hands, pushing them above her head and interlocked fingers. Diana groaned, knees nearly buckling from the sensations. Her eyes locked with his as they continue to became one; mind body and soul.

Kal took her in never before experienced heights of ecstasy by rocking deep into her, with each thrust hitting the precise point that made Diana groan in her own need.

Kal snaked his arms around her waist as he rolled them over, Diana now straddling his hips. She threw her head back, her long raven hair flying wildly behind her as she placed the palms of her hands on his chest. Slowly she began grinding her hips against his, slowly rocking back and fourth.

Leaning down, she placed kisses along his collarbone while still rocking her hips against his. Slowly she began to raise herself up off his hardened member before sliding back down on it just as slowly. Diana continued this motion, her pace soft and slow at first, but when she couldn't take the teasing she was doing to him anymore, she began moving faster. She bit her lip as Kal gripped her hips and moved her a little faster.

Kal nearly lost it with his head swimming at the sensation of her muscles clenching around him, clamping down on him as she continued to ride him.

"You are so beautiful..." he groaned.

Diana smiled and kissed him hard. Kal wrapped his arms around her waist again and flipped her back over to lay on her back. Diana wrapped her arms around his shoulders as she buried her face in the crook of his neck.

Kal went faster and harder inside of her. Diana's walls were getting tighter and tighter every time he slammed inside of her. He smashed his lips onto hers, quickly urging her to part her lips for him. Diana of course obliged and let his tongue slip into her mouth, both of theirs wrestling the others. Suddenly, she broke the kiss and panted harshly.

Kal could feel her womanhood tightening even more around his throbbing length. He knew she was on the very edge.

Diana gasped as time seemed to stand still and waves of pleasure came over her. Kal saw her writhing under his vigorous love making. He stared down at her in a cloud of lust, astonished to see the real extend of fire burning in her. He felt her upward bucking hips to meet his thrusts.

Right at the moment, Diana saw Kal's eternal love shining in his eyes, sending out vows of endless devotion at her as she felt a tremendous orgasm jolting through her. She panted repeatedly in her release while she stared in Kal's lust-darkened orbs, feeling the waves shuddering through her body.

Witnessing her riding out the waves of her climax and seeing what she looked like in this big moment, spotting the beam in Diana's eyes and what they'd told him, he could hardly breathe. He was overcome by pure joy.

Diana's cries were silenced as he kissed her forcefully, and neither could think beyond the warmth that was spreading from the place they were connected. Kal gave a particularly forceful thrust; he followed her, reaching his peak too, and wanting to hold as much of her as possible at the moment of release.

Exhaling heavy gasps onto her lips, he spilled into her. He buried his face in the crook of her neck, while he slowly rocked his hips, letting the rest of his essence coat her inner walls.

Kal lay on top of Diana, holding on to her until they were able to catch their breaths. Diana closed her eyes, trailing her fingers lightly over Kal's back and reveled in the feeling of their bodies molded together. Kal pressed a kiss to her temple and nuzzled his nose in her hair, breathing her in.

They allowed themselves a moment to analyze their own feelings, coming to the happy conclusion that indeed, all doubts, all fears have been erased, never coming back. This felt damn good, natural and right. Neither one of them knew what the future held, but their line of work, as heroes, taught them to savor each day like it was their last. And for the first time in a long time, they knew that savoring the days is exactly what they wanted and needed to do, as long as they had each other.

After a few more minutes, Kal pulled out slowly and fell to the side. Diana wrapped her arm around his middle while Kal moved her closer to him. Diana sighed lovingly, laying her head on his chest. Kal rubbed up and down her side and kissed the top of her head.

"You okay, Princess?" he mumbled sleepily, his voice slurred.

"Much more than okay, Spaceman."

Diana lifted her head to kiss him and look him in the eyes. They're half closed, adding to the whole look of a very happy, thoroughly satisfied man.

"Good, because this with you and me being partners, best friends, and lovers, is my everything. I'm going to be greedy and selfish that way."

Diana laughed softly. "That's not being greedy or selfish, Kal. You deserve your happiness an-"

"And my happiness is you, Diana."

"I feel exactly the same. My happiness is you, Kal."

"I love you," he said cupping her cheek and kissed her softly.

"I love you, too," she replied among his kiss.

And that soft kiss soon turned into a passionate wildfire and then a fire was set as the two lovers showed their love of each other all night long.
