DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN JUSTICE LEAGUE

Chapter 2

Diana calls Fitzryers the next morning.

Fitzryers: "Hello?"

Diana: "Hi Daniel, it's Diana."

F: "Oh, hi! How you doin'?"

D: "Fine, thank you. Listen, I'm free tonight. Do you want to have dinner?"

F: "Please hold. I need to see my personal schedule." 10 seconds later
F: "It would be my pleasure. Name the time and the place."

D: "I was hoping you could help me out with that."

F: "Have you been to La Vie? It's not too crowded, but the food is amazing."

D: "Sounds good. Shall we say...7:30?"

F: "Do you want me to pick you up?"

D: "Oh no...I'll meet you there. Um...where exactly is it?"

F: "It's in Paris. A few blocks down from Queen Audrey's banquet hall."

D: "Oh ok. See you."

F: "Bye."

Diana hung up and turned to look at Superman.
"The deed is done," she said to him. He nodded and remembered that his shift was coming up.
Diana felt hungry so she made her way to the kitchen. On the way, she passed Hawkgirl's room.
"Princess, have you seen John?" she asked. She was wearing pajamas and holding a toothbrush. Diana shook her head and continued to the kitchen. Flash was sitting at the table with J'onn, and they were talking in low voices.
"What's to eat?" She asked, and the Flash immediately stopped talking and looked at her.
"There's some toast beside the fridge, your highness," J'onn said.
"What are you two talking about?" Diana asked curiously, helping herself to some toast beside the fridge.
"Nothing," said Flash, a little too quickly. "I'm just uh...explaining foosball to J'onn."
"I already understand foosball," J'onn said, without realizing that the Flash was saying, "Shut up," between coughs. Diana rolled her eyes and sat down beside them. Then Batman came in looking very disgruntled. But then again, he always looked like that.
"Hey Bats. Why the long face?" The Flash asked. Batman ignored him and sat across the table from Diana.
"Superman told me about what you did this morning," Batman told her. Flash looked at both of them curiously. Diana brushed her hair out of her face.
"I thought it didn't concern you," she said.
"I've been doing some background information on the man you call Daniel Fitzryers," he continued, ignoring her remark. "And I found out that he's related to someone in Joker's league."
"That has nothing to do with my beef with him," Diana said. "And what makes him evil just because of his relations?"
"He is also a former member of Joker's men, and sources say that his company blackmails people into buying their products."
"Wait a sec. Is this Fitzryers dude the guy Princess's going out with?" Flash said. Both Batman and Diana looked at him. Diana gasped in exasperation.
"Who told you?" She said, peevishly.
"I have my sources," Flash said.
"So wait," Diana said, turning back to Batman. "Are you saying that Fitzryers is blackmailing my people into buying microprocessors and computers?" Batman nodded.
"But why? And how does he know about the Amazons? How is he even getting there...he's a man!" Diana yelled.
"He obviously has all female workers in his plants. I doubt if he's been there himself. And if he's with the Joker, then he could meet all the aliens he wants. One of them is bound to know about the Amazons," Batman concluded. Nobody said anything. Hawkgirl and the Lantern walked in to the kitchen.
"Why's it so quiet in here?" Hawkgirl asked, suspiciously.
"The Princess is going out with Fitzryers this evening, and we just found out that he's a total trouble-maker," the Flash said. Diana punched him in the arm, angrily.
"The Princess has a date?" Hawkgirl asked, looking at Batman then at Diana.
"Flash is probably just jealous. He hasn't had any luck with dating in his whole life," John joked.
"Oh, really?! For your information, I have a date tonight, too," Flash blurted out. Everybody looked at him, shocked, except for J'onn who was deep in thought, and Batman who walked out of the kitchen muttering, "...waste of my time."
"Stop pulling my leg, Flash," John snorted.
"You don't believe me, GL?" Flash said, huffing.
"Ok, fine. Who's the girl?" Hawkgirl piped in.
"It's...it's...it's no one," Flash murmured, sadly. John and Hawkgirl laughed loudly. The Flash got up from the table and zoomed away, looking annoyed.

Diana walked back to her room after her shift finished. She passed Flash's room and saw that he was deep in conversation with J'onn. She hid behind the corner and listened intently.
"...still, you should have told them the truth," J'onn was saying.
"They wouldn't believe me anyways. It's almost like she's too good to be true," the Flash muttered. "I mean, she's beautiful, smart, funny...she's the first beautiful, smart, funny person to actually want to go out with me."
"I think you should have told them the truth," J'onn said again.
"Well, it'll probably be over by tomorrow. I'll find out tonight that she's some sick looney bird that's wearing a mask to hide her ugly face and pretending to like me," Flash said, sadly.
"I highly doubt it," J'onn said. Diana smiled to herself and continued walking towards her room, when she heard some voices coming from Hawkgirl's room. It was undoubtedly her and the Green Lantern's.
"Do you really suppose Flash has a date?" Hawkgirl said.
"Nah...he's just trying to save his ego," John said.
"I think it's funny that the Princess would actually go out with what's-his-name right in front of Batman," Hawkgirl chuckled.
"Well, it's obvious that she just wants to date him just to find out more about his company. I think Batman understands that," John said.
"I'm surprised he actually understands that. But then again, he's not supposed to like the Princess. Only Bruce Wayne does," she added, sarcastically.
Diana went into her room and closed the door. She felt angry. Was it so obvious that there was something going on between her and Batman? How did everybody know?

There was a knock at her door. She opened and was surprised to see Batman standing there.
"We need to talk. Can I come in?" He asked. She nodded and closed the door behind him.
