Summary: Wonder Woman and Superman brainstorm how to ask Batman a very important question.
A/N: None.
Wonder Woman and Superman sat in the corner of the commissary eating their food slowly. No other heroes dared to go near them. Superman looked as if he was in deep thought about something that was troubling him greatly and Wonder Woman leaned over trying to console him while whispering what looked like strategic plans of attack. From the look on Superman's face the other heroes in the room could only speculate what earth threatening beasts they must be discussing.
"He'll never say yes...and even if there was a chance that he would, how would I ask him?" Superman sighed. He had fought the most powerful beings in the universe, and yet he couldn't figure out a way to ask his best friend a simple question.
"You don't know that, Kal. I'm sure he'll say yes. He may make you jump through a few hoops first, but in the end, he'll say yes." Wonder Woman had been trying to console Superman, but he was right. This was going to be very difficult.
"What if I try to trick him into it?" Superman asked. Wonder Woman gave him a look that said 'do you really think he can be tricked into anything by anyone?' and Superman sighed for the hundredth time that hour. "Right, dumb idea."
"How about we bribe him with..." Wonder Woman started but then cut herself off. "Never mind. I almost forgot how rich he was. A bribe could never work."
"Well...I mean...you know Diana...you could...uh...bribe him with something...something he can't buy with money..." Superman started and then managed to blush and look both suggestive and shy at the same time.
Wonder Woman looked confused for a moment before catching his drift. The Amazon champion briefly and lightly blushed.
"Kal! I can't believe you would even suggest that! Even if I was willing...that would never work! I will not degrade myself to seduce any man! Even if the cause is noble!"
"Alright, alright! I'm sorry! I'm just running out of ideas here."
"Why don't you just ask him?" A voice from behind the heroes asked.
Both Superman and Wonder Woman jumped a bit in their seats and turned to find Batman standing tall behind them, a slight smirk on his lips.
Superman stared at him for a moment before clearing his throat. He wondered why he and Wonderwoman hadn't thought of that particular idea.
"I...uh...Batman...Bruce...would you...Lois and I are getting married soon...and I was wondering..."
"Spit it out Clark."
"Willyoubemybestman?" Superman said quickly seemingly in one word.
"Yes, I would be honored." With that, Batman turned on his heals and swiftly walked out of the room.
The other heroes in the commissary thought that Batman must have told them the perfect battle plan because at that moment both Wonder Woman and Superman's mouths dropped before they shared a broad smile and watched the Batman walk away.
