The Fortress of Solitude – Infirmary
"it's over there" Kal said as he pointed towards a nearby shelf. Diana had to admit to herself, she was surprised by the lack of a... well a wow factor when she saw Kal's infirmary. She's just got so used to being amazed every time she saw something new related to him. But the infirmary was surprising bland, very similar to the one on the Watch Tower, except for the bright crystal walls and glowing containers. Walking over to the shelf she grabbed a glass beaker that was full of a glowing green type of gel.
"is this..." She started as she turned around and paused, her cheeks turned a deep red as she saw Kal sitting on the medical bed. Without his uniform and shirt, he was wearing the same type of clothing he had on when she first saw him. The thin blue type of body suit without all the armor, she didn't know that it was in two parts. From the outside it looked like a onesie but apparently not. Looking at his chest, she was blown away by the amount of scar's scattered around his body, she could three long slashes across his chest, most likely from a sword or some type of blade. She saw smaller dotted scar's spread everywhere on him, she's seen them before on Bruce from bullet wounds.
But what made her blush was the amount of muscle on his body, the abs he had looked like they could replace a dinner plate to eat off of and his pecks looked like they would be very comfortable for her head to sleep on. Her eyes widened 'Diana, what is wrong with you. It's just muscle, it's nothing you haven't seen before. SNAP OUT OF IT' she yelled inside her head "is this it?" She asked holding out the beaker for him to see.
Kal looked up at her "yes, that's the one. Hand it to me" he said as Diana walked over to him and handed him the beaker. Kal took it and stood up, leaving behind a small puddle of blood that he left on the bed where he sat. Kal couldn't understand why his wound wasn't healing like all the others, he understood that must have had something to do with that blade. He needed to look into that further. He tipped the beaker and spread the contents of the gel on his hand before rubbing it on the stab wound.
He sighed in pleasure as the pain from the several inches deep wound in his back started to fade. He placed the beaker on a nearby table before wobbling in place and feeling a little disorientated. Diana moved quickly and placed her hands on his front and back to help steady him, ignoring the blood on his back and went to inspect the wound to see if it needed more attention but was amazed to see that the wound was completely gone, not even a scar. Just dried blood around the area of the body where the wound use to be 'how in Zeus's name does that work' Diana thought to herself as Kal slowly pushed himself away from her and steadied himself.
Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath Kal regained his composure and turned to look at her "I'm thankful for your help today Diana, but what where you doing here in the first place?" He asked.
Diana was about to answer him but paused when a hovering machine teleported in the room near the ceiling. She took a step back and lifted her hands in a defensive stance ready for any attack. The machine was small, only half the size of her, made of a shiny sleek metal, a single bright blue eye in the center of it (Picture a Sentinel from Halo for an idea) Kal frowned at her in confusion, wondering what she was doing. He turned and looked to what she was looking at "you can be calm Diana, it's just a vanguard" Kal informed as the drone came in closer towards her before heading over to the blood pool on the bed and cleaning it up.
Diana turned away from the vanguard and looked back at Kal who was heading out of the room and went to follow him "well, I needed to talk to you about a few things" she said stepping out of the infirmary and into a long crystal hallway, she saw Kal walking away from him not showing any sign that he was injured just a few moments ago.
"oh? and what might those things be?" He asked as he entered the main atrium of the fortress.
Diana was going to answer but she paused as she saw what they entered, her jaw couldn't help but drop. She's never been in this room before and it was incredible. At first glance she could tell that it was a massive hall that was at least the size of a football field, in the center of it all was a large statue of a middle-aged man and woman, both with one arm raised holding up a large sphere. If she had to guess she would say that it would be Kal's mother and father and the sphere is Krypton, it was easy to see due to it being made of a type of dark gray stone. It stands out when the walls and ceiling was made of a blue crystal. Around the sphere of Krypton was what looked like two fleet of ships hovering in the air. Both had clearly different designs and they were made of the same stone as the statue which made it all the stranger to see them floating, she would guess that it was some type monument to the war Kal was a part of.
Looking to her right she could see at least four different large banners that were hung on the wall going all the way down to the far end. They all had different symbols and colors on them but they seemed to have writing going downwards from the large primary symbol on the top towards the bottom. Diana figured that it must have been Kal's language written down. Though underneath the banners themselves where different objects. Under one was what she could only assume was weapons but not swords and axe's but guns of some sort. Under another were books but they looked very old 'must be some type of tomes' she thought to herself as she saw what was under the others banners as well. Robes, crowns, staffs. It was incredible.
Looking to her left she saw more of the 3D oil paintings that she saw on the watch tower. Some where really large and others where smaller, she found it similar to visiting one of the large cathedral's around the world, the paintings practically replaced the wall. It went without saying that the paintings themselves where very beautiful. The main peace of the wall was the largest painting in the middle. It showed a round table with three men and one woman standing around it, they wore different clothing and different colors but when she looked closer Diana saw that they were the same colors as the banners and they had the same symbols on their chests. They all had their hands raised and they looked they were holding goblet's.
But what made Diana feel like she was in another world wasn't what was on the walls. It was what was on the ceiling, she was amazed by it. As her eyes got closer and closer to the ceiling it got darker and darker until it was nothing but darkness, or it would be if it wasn't for the multiple huge incredibly realistic galaxy's that dominated her field of view. It was beautiful, and it wasn't just galaxy's but nebula's, shooting stars, and some other things that she couldn't even recognize but they were just incredible. She's been in space before, sure it was incredible but it never looked anything like this.
Her eyes eventually found their way back to Kal-El he was staring at her with an eye brow raised. It was then she realized that she had stopped walking to look at everything around her. Her face went red slightly before she managed to calm herself down at look back at him with a neutral look "what is this place?" She asked.
Kal shrugged "I haven't named it, this is just the main atrium of the fortress. I suppose you could call it a place where I put all the primary historical moments of my people" he informed as he lifted his hand and pointed at the banners "these are the banners of the four Kryptonian house's. Military, science, culture & history and religion" he then pointed at the paintings on the wall "and these are all the art works I was able to recover, apart from the one you have at your watch tower" he turned back to face her "was that all you wanted to know?" He asked.
Diana closed her eyes briefly before looking at him and find the courage to ask, if she was honest with herself she was worried about what he might say "I want to know why you pulled away when we kissed?" She asked. Kal frowned at her slightly before nodding his head in understanding, Kal sighed before closing his eyes and turning around scratching the back of his head. He was hoping he would've been able to avoid this. Diana could sense his hesitation and she realized that it wasn't right of her to just ask that out of the blue, she wanted to know true but she didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable "Kal, I don't want to put you in a difficult position. I just wanted to know, is it because you don't find me attractive? Or is it because you just don't like me?" She asked wanting to know 'when did I start calling him Kal' she thought to herself.
Kal turned to face her with a shocked face "is that what you think?" He asked confused "Diana, you're one of the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on. I can't think of one thing about that isn't incredible, your figure, your eyes, your hair, your determination, your courage. I could go on all day" Kal explained as Diana's heart was beating quickly and she was stunned by his words, she's been called beautiful before but she's never felt this way when someone else told her. It spread a warmth throughout her entire body "I pulled away when I kissed you because when I allowed myself to be with you intimately, I felt guilty" he answered.
Diana frowned at him, she didn't know what he went "guilty?" She asked wanting some more information.
"Diana, despite what my life was like before I went into my... very long Cryo-sleep. I still found a very small amount of happiness in it. And that happiness came from my life mate..." He paused before closing his eyes and cursing internally "you would call her my wife" he informed. In one moment it all made sense to Diana 'he was married and he misses her, of course' she said to herself. It never occurred to her that Kal had someone in his life before they met, someone he loved. She just never thought of something like love existing in the world he came from "and even if I never had wife, my entire race is dead. I turned my head and ran while my planet burned behind me. I know they were my orders but I still did it, didn't I? So why do I even deserve to have that kind of happiness, let alone have it again. I should have died on that planet with what was left of my people. I pulled away because I know that I don't deserve that" he said Diana could tell that he seemed different, he seemed on edge.
Diana didn't know what to say, she felt like he was finally being honest with her. she didn't expect him to just open up like that. She was expecting him to be closed off and... well soldier like but it seemed he was opening up about everything she asked. And though Diana understood what he was saying she still wanted to be with him, she didn't want to force him but when he said how beautiful he thought she was, it only made her want him more but she didn't know how to convince him. With the Lasso on her hip she couldn't stop it from telling her not to deny herself. She took a step forward and used her own speed to place her hand on the back of his neck and bring him towards her. She closed her eyes as she placed her lips on his.
Kal placed his hands on her shoulders ready to push her away but as he held her he couldn't find the strength to do it, he frowned in anger as he was unable to push himself away from her. Unknowingly to him with Diana's lasso was brushing itself against his thigh with a glow as it was starting to affect him. He was unable to stop himself, breathing through his nose, his hands became less tense and started to be gentler. His right hand began to caress her shoulder while the left made its way downwards to her lower back. He could feel Diana smile against his own lips as they opened and used their tongues to explore each other's mouths. The worst part about all of this was that he knew that what he was doing was wrong, he shouldn't be doing this but she just tasted so good to him.
Diana smiled as she felt Kal's hand find its way to her lower back. She didn't know what came over her, she's never been like this. She's always tried to keep her emotions away from important matters, true she came here to understand the whole kiss situation but she never intended to let things go this far. Diana couldn't help but feel a warmth spread through her, she didn't want it to stop, she wanted more. She lifted her right leg around his thigh and felt more he flow through her as Kal's hand lowered and was now cupped firmly on her behind.
Before Kal could do anything else he was able to regain some sense of self and using his training to suppress his emotions he moved his lust to the back of his mind, he placed both his hands back on her shoulders and pushed her back. Diana's leg came back down and looked at him bewildered "Don't do that" Kal said looking at her almost sadly.
"why not?" She asked placed her hands on her sides "we both clearly want to be with each other" she took a step towards him and gently placed a hand on his chest "no one's ever made me feel the way you do, I couldn't even explain it if I wanted to. Even now, after just hearing that my mother has been lying to me my whole life, just being close to you makes me feel better" she reached up and placed a hand on his cheek "like all that pain is gone"
Kal couldn't help but nestle his head in her hand, he sighed before bringing up his own hand up and bringing hers back down "Diana, you don't know what you're asking for. It doesn't work the same way for me as it does you" he tried to explain.
"I don't understand" Diana said shrugging her shoulders.
Kal closed his eyes for a moment trying to figure out how to explain everything "Diana, I... my people. We don't love like you do, with me, with my people. It's forever. Now I'm not saying I'm in love with you but you and I both know that if we do this, falling in love will happen eventually" he sighed seeing that she was having trouble understanding what he was saying "when two Kryptonation's make love to each other for the first time" he snaps his fingers "a connection is formed between to two, and that's it. They're together until one of them die's. We call them life mates for that reason, unlike you humans there's no affairs or mistrust. Not even rape because we know that when that connection happens that's it. It's not even a choice, it's a fact in our biology, we are unable to stop feeling that way about someone and I don't know if that connection might go both ways with you.
Diana was blown away by that, she didn't know what to think and she definitely didn't expect it. On the one had she did find it incredibly romantic but she didn't think she could handle that level of connection with someone "we can still be with more than one person but never at same time, only when the person we were with die's, and that is not a pleasant process. When you make a connection with someone and that connection is taken away from you, it's like losing apart of yourself. Believe me, I know" he said sadly. Before Diana could come back with some reply, Kal took a step forward and placed both of his hands on her cheeks and pulled her towards him. Kal and Diana both closed their eyes as their lips touched, unlike before there wasn't a large amount of lust or forcefulness it was just passion. Their lips separated and they looked deep into each other's eyes "go home, think long and hard about whether or not this is something you want. Because if we make that connection, there's nothing that can be done to change it" he said before stepping back "Kelex"
Before Diana could say anything else a bright yellow light surrounded her. She blinked and looked around when the light left her body. To her amazement, she was now in her quarters on the Watch Tower. She didn't know why she was surprised 'new rule, when it comes to Kal. Just accept it' she said to herself before looking out of her window and thinking deeply about what Kal just told her.
Once she was gone Kal sighed before turning around and headed down to the sanctuary, he always went down there to clear his head. As he neared the elevator that was used to enter it when the whole fortress shook. Kal instantly became on high alert. Once the fortress had all of its defenses installed it became the most secure place on the planet, it didn't just shake like that "Kelex, what's happening?" He asked in his native language.
Kelex's hologram appeared next to him "master, I'm afraid that the H'Raka is having a violent reaction to the yellow solar radiation that has now been increased to one hundred percent within the sanctuary" he said as the hologram followed Kal through the halls as he ran towards the elevator.
"well sedate him then" he said as he entered the elevator and it started to descend to the sanctuary. Kal was worried about what was happening and he didn't worry often, normally he could be very calm but when it came to the fortress and the sanctuary he couldn't help it. This was all that was left of his people and his world, they needed to be protected above everything else.
"that... is no longer necessary, master" Kelex said before the elevator descended through the ice sheet and entered the sanctuary.
Kal stepped to the edge of the elevator and looked through the glass, his eyes widened and his mouth dropped at what he saw "oh Rao" he gasped.
Watch Tower – Cafeteria
Barry sat with his head dozing off as it was rested in his right hand and the other was busy poring the fifth pack of sugar in his coffee. Yesterday didn't go has he wanted to, but he doubted it would go that way. Honestly, he didn't mind it that much, it wasn't going to change anything. He loved Donna and they're going to raise their child together. He smiled at his dad's reaction when he told her about it, he was over the moon. Barry hasn't seen his dad smile that much since his mum died. He sighed as he dipped his head, unfortunately he could only guess what her reaction would be.
But that wasn't why he was so tired. After Hal had dropped the two off at their apartment, Donna didn't get any better. She spent all night crying into his chest, he hated that, he hated that she was upset and he couldn't help. But when you tell your parent's news like that and that is the reaction, it's bound to hit you where it hurts. She didn't say anything, they just stayed in bed cuddling each other, her crying while she held onto him and Barry saying everything he could to make her feel better but the problem was that their where no words to make her feel better that soon.
She was in class at university right now, he could only hope that her friends there made her feel better than he did. In all honesty he was fine with Diana hating him because the way he saw it, he may have lost one Amazon as a friend but he gained one as his girlfriend and soon to be mother of his child. It went without saying that he would love that child unconscionably but he knew once Kal said he saw lightning coming off of it that he or she was going to be a speedster, that's going to be interesting.
He looked around him and saw a handful of other members scattered around the place. You don't get this many people around the Tower this early in the day. He felt a hand on his shoulder and he looked to see Hal sit across from him "hey, man. How's Donna doing?" He asked with his own cup of coffee in hand.
Barry sighed "not great" he answered.
Hal nodded back at him "yeah, she didn't look like she was coping well with everything" he said taking a sip.
"who didn't look like she was coping well?" Zatanna asked as she took a seat next to Hal with what looked like an omelet.
"Barry's girlfriend" Hal answered without really thinking about it.
Barry looked at him for a moment and was about to scream in is face but he realized that he said girlfriend and not Donna which wasn't too bad but he was still going to at least slap the back of Hal's head when he next got the chance "girlfriend?" Zatanna asked with her eye brows raised.
Barry frowned at her slightly "and why is that a surprise Zee?"
Zatanna opened her mouth to respond but paused and thought more carefully about what she was going to say next "err... well, you're a very talkative guy and it's just a surprise that you haven't said anything, anyway what's she upset about?" She quickly.
Hal chuckled internally at her quick response 'nice save Zee' he thought to himself.
Barry thought about telling her but he thought that maybe it would be best if he asked Donna first "she's just got some family trouble" he answered.
"ugh, that's the worst kind" Zee said as Hal and Barry nodded back at her "so when do we get to meet this secret girlfriend of yours?" She asked.
Barry couldn't help but look at her surprised "you really that interested?" He asked.
Zee shrugged at him "well between everything that's happening with Kal-El meeting the U.N and Bruce being on the over-obsessed warpath. It would be nice to do something normal for a change" she answered before taking a bite out of her meal. Hal and Barry both shrugged at her in understanding "So?" She said.
"I don't know Zee, we haven't been together long. Not really at the meeting each other's friends yet" he lied, Zee simply shrugged at him.
"I didn't know that was the case Barry" a voice from behind them. Barry looked up and all the color left is face 'shit' he cursed before using his speed and sped around the table and now stood behind both Hal and Zatanna. Standing across from him with a 'I'm gonna kill you' stare was Diana.
Secret Lexcorp Research Facility
Lex stood grinning with his arms crossed in the middle of the facility's main control room. The control room was based in the third level off the ground, giving him and everyone else in the room a good view of the large atrium that resembled an empty warehouse. Looking through a large glass window in front of him, he saw what this entire facility was dedicated to. In the middle of the atrium, sitting eerily still and calm was a large black cube.
On the ground floor with the cube, it had cables and wires attached to certain areas of it, trying to get as many readings as they can but that was the problem. That is why the cube was given to Lex by the president five months ago along with the best technology and America's smartest scientists in every field you could think off. It was given to Lex because despite all that, they knew nothing. The cube gave off nothing, no mass, no radiation, no heat signatures, no way of knowing what the it was made form because they couldn't sample any of it because it was so damn strong. Absolutory nothing to prove it even existed apart from seeing it and even then, it had to be with your own eyes.
They had no idea how but every time someone tried to take a picture or use any kind of camera it wouldn't show, picture's and video footage showed everything else but when it came to the cube itself, it might as well have been invisible, it just didn't show at all.
The cube crashed in the middle of the Nevada desert in 1942 but after trying everything they could in order to understand it and failed. After that President Roosevelt decided that it would be best that it should be hidden so every record of it was destroyed and it was hidden within the united states air force base of Area 51. Over time it was completely forgotten, not even the commanders of the base knew about it, to them it was just some large storage box that someone lost the key for as it was sealed in a large wooden crate. The only person in the whole world who knew about it was the president, no one else in government. Because the only recorded of it that still existed was within the president's book.
And it would have stayed that way if it wasn't for Kal-El. Because the only thing that could be seen on the surface of the cube was a circle made up of some kind of inscriptions. The cube itself was ten feet large and ten feet long and a circle of inscriptions on each of its six surfaces, it was three lines of inscriptions that made up the circles. The reason for Lex even being allowed to study it was because that after the League informed the president that Kal-El had escaped the Watch Tower and he was shown the file that they had on him, once he saw the sword that Kal had on him it was all made clear. Because the cube's inscriptions matched the ones on the sword.
The cube belonged to Kal-Els people, it had to. That only angered Lex more, humanity's first encounter with alien technology and it's his technology. That self-righteous, smug, arrogant, alien filth. Lex needed to understand what this cube was and how it worked. It might be the only thing that could give them an advantage against Kal-El when the time came, and the time was coming. Apex had assured him of that. Hearing the familiar sound of magic teleport behind him, Lex didn't need to turn to know who it was. There was only one person it could be and Lex was very thankful it was the night shift and there was only a handful of security personal on the perimeter of the facility "I trust you have what he asked for?" Lex said as he felt the presence of someone large standing beside him.
"I do not fail" a deep voice said to his right. Lex turned his head to see Ares standing next to him holding a small vile of blood "least of all in battle"
"so, it would seem" Lex smirked as he turned to face Ares fully "so what are you waiting for god of war?" He asked.
Ares turned his head and Lex could have sworn that he heard him growling before turning towards the door which led to the cube. Walking toward the stairs into the atrium even Ares himself couldn't help but feel... off in the cube's presence. An object that by all sense of logic shouldn't exist but it did, he was looking at it and every step he took to get closer, it's like the cube was beginning to affect him in some way, every fiber of his being was screaming at him, telling him to run away and get as far away from this place as he could. But he was Ares the god of war, he feared nothing, least of all some small black box.
He stopped a few feet in front of the cube easily guessing that Lex was looking down at him from above "Apex" he announced out loud knowing that if Apex could infiltrate his own quarters on Olympus without him knowing that it was a safe bet that he was here somewhere "I have upheld my end of the bargain" he smirked holding up the vile of blood "it is time for you to uphold yours"
There were a few seconds of silence before Ares and Lex both felt the familiar sound of Apex joining them "so show me his body" the voice of Apex echoed through the large atrium.
Ares looked around the room trying to pin point the sound of his voice but was unable to locate it. Ares growled at the request "there was a complication. The princess Diana interfered and Apollo is dead but I assure you, with the wound Kal-El sustained, he did not survive" he said confidently.
"you fool" Apex spoke there was large noticeable difference in his tone, he was angry and it showed. Before Ares could say anything else he felt a large hand grip the back of his neck a squeeze, hard. Ares struggled but couldn't free himself but his effects where completely futile as he was pushed forward and his head was forcefully slammed against the side of the cube, brought back and slammed again. The gods blood could be seen splatting against the cubes black surface. After the tenth slam against the cube Ares was thrown onto his back, his helmet fell of his head reviling his face. Ares looked up as he coughed up his own blood, he saw Apex standing over him with his two shortened scythes on his hips "when I say I want you to bring me his dead body. I mean it"
Apex leaned down and picked up the vile of blood that was in Ares's hand "you can't even do this right" he shook his head "while I would have been less harsh for you not bringing me his body for I want him here to witness my arrival. To see the look in his eyes when he realizes that everything he has done was for nothing" he said turning to look down at Ares "Kal-El. Te taerg naast" he spoke in his native language "the great destroyer" he translated for Ares and Lex "but even there you failed" he held up the vile "this blood is corrupted by the blade I gave you, it's usless. This is your only warning Ares. Bring me Kal-El's body or I will see to it that you experience the worse kind of hell you can imagine" he crushed the vile in his hand before disappearing as he black smoke cape incased him and he vanished.
Ares didn't wait around to hear Lex gloat at him and teleported out the same way he came in. Lex walked down the steps into the Atrium "oh I don't know" he said to himself as he took out a small syringe and used it to take some of the blood that was in Ares's vile "I don't think it's that useless" he smiled as he looked at the blood in his hand.
Watch Tower – Cafeteria
"Diana, why don't we just take a deep breath" Barry said with his hands raised. Diana was walking calmly over to the three but all you had to do was look at her face to see how she was. It was when she stopped in front of the table that Barry became really thankful that he kissed Donna goodbye before he came here.
Zatanna looked at Diana as she stood in front of them with her arms crossed and a really angry look on her face that seemed to be focused on Barry. Now that she thought about it, the last time she's saw that look on her was when that reporter cupped a feel with her a year ago. She punched him square in the face and put him into a coma "ok" she said turning around in her chair to face him "what'd you do?" She asked.
Barry ignored her and focused all of his attention on Diana "I know you're really upset about everything" he said calmly as Diana didn't move an inch "but I never did it to hurt you"
Diana didn't know what to say. She completely forgot about everything with Barry, Donna and her parentage, she was just so thrown off with everything that happened with Kal and the new information he told her. She couldn't believe that she forgot, she just came in to get a cup of coffee to help clear her head but when she entered and saw Barry, everything came back to her. Her comrade lying to her about a relationship, her own mother lying to her about the nature of her own birth, the pain and anger she felt because of that but thankfully she was also happy that she made some mile stone with Kal, so that did help calm her down "Barry" she said calmly "you are very lucky that I am in a good mood right now" then she frowned at him "... but you are going to tell me everything, right now" she said with strong voice.
Barry nodded at her, while Zatanna looked confused and Hal looked worried for his friend. Barry was happy that Diana was at least willing to hear her out "ok, first thing that you should know is that she came on to me" in Barry's defense he thought that would make him seem less to blame for the whole situation... but in reality, that just pissed Diana off even more.
For a moment she lost control, she took a step forward and kicked the underneath of the table causing it to go flying through the air across the cafeteria and landing on the opposite side of the room. Zatanna and Hal both fell of their chairs landing flat on their backs, Barry used his speed to dive under the table as it flew through the air "Diana, what the hell?!" Zatanna yelled as she picked herself back up off the ground but Diana didn't listen to her.
As Barry picked himself back up Diana charged at him again, he barely got out of the way as her fist collided with the ground creating a large hole through the floor "Diana, calm down!" Dinah shouted as she and Oliver came in to see what the noise was about.
But Diana didn't listen and lunged at Barry as he stood with his back against the wall, he barely got out of the way, even with his speed and Diana yet again made a huge hole in the wall where her hands went "Diana, really. Just calm down" Barry practically begged "let me start over, I sware it was very platonic relationship at first" Barry paused for a minute, looking up into his head thinking "And... well obviously thinks changed and became more adult, that's where the pregnancy came from..." He started before Diana grabbed him by the neck when he was in thought.
"wait, pregnant?" Zatanna asked confused as she looked to the crowd that gathered around room looking at the spectacle "who's pregnant?" She asked out loud.
"WONDER WOMAN. STAND DOWN!" Batman shouted as he made his way in the room with J'onn by his side. The group of hero's made way for two of the three top hero's in the league. Bruce had a way of getting everyone's attention when he calmly, when he yelled, that made even the villains pause. Diana had her fist drew back and Barry held against the wall ready to create a very large hole in his head "I said stand down!" He repeated by Diana didn't listen but she did pause.
"Diana, I do not know why you are upset" J'onn said calmly stepping forward and placed a hand on her shoulder "but you are better than this, you always have been"
"he's right" Barry agreed finding it very hard to breath at the moment "besides, how do you think Donna would feel if you threw that punch" he said. There was a moment of silence before Diana closed her eyes and sighed before opening her hand and dropping Barry to the ground.
"wait, what does Donna have to do with this?" Dinah asked the group.
"Yeah, and what was that about someone being pregnant?" Oliver continued frowning in confusion.
Zatanna tilted her head for a moment before turning to face Hal, who himself looked at her wide eyes knowing that she's about to figure it out "hey, Hal" she started "who's Barry's girlfriend?" She asked.
"…... I don't know?" He said after a long pause.
"it's Donna" Diana announced to everyone "he's dating my sister" she added. Everyone took a step back at that news, except for Batman and Diana could guess why.
"wait, wait" Oliver said "you got an Amazon pregnant" he grinned "good job Pal" before getting an elbow in the gut from Dinah and a death stare from Diana who turned back to face Barry.
"I assume she lives with you in Central City?" She said crossing her arms at him, he nodded at her "great, hopeful Donna can explain the whole situation without making me want to kill her" she said turning on her heal and walking out of the room.
It was quite for a moment before Barry looked at Bruce "you knew, didn't you?" He asked. Bruce didn't say anything, he just narrowed his eyes for a moment before turning to leave.
Ok guys, sorry this took longer than expected and I know that not much happened in this chapter and it was mostly fila but anyway, it's done now and I have a good idea for what comes next.
Anyone I heard what you guys said about Kal's blood being corrupted by the blade and everything so there you go, don't worry I listen to what you all say, I promise.
And it's all going to be coming together soon so if you're worried don't be, it will all make sense soon.
Anyway, Rebel's a new origin is next until then I will see you all in the next chapter.
