"What were you thinking?"
Flash had never seen Diana so mad. Not at him, anyway. He could swear that she would break one of his bones if he looked at her the wrong way.
"Five of us had trouble fighting them, and you decided to go against them alone?"
Wally crossed his recently healed arms, wincing at the soreness.
"Try not to move too much," J'onn said quietly, or at least, his voice seemed quiet compared to Diana's.
"Look, how fast could you guys have gotten there anyway?" Wally looked up at Diana. "The fight was over in about five minutes."
Something flashed across her eyes. She wasn't used to talking to him without his mask on.
"That's not the point. You could have been killed, and probably would have been if J'onn hadn't been there."
"Well, J'onn was there, and I wasn't killed, so this whole thing is kinda academic, don't you think?"
The fire in her eyes subsided somewhat, though it seemed like a reluctant gesture.
"I'm just worried about you, Wally. We all are," she said, glancing at J'onn.
He continued to work on the vitals monitor above Wally's bed.
Flash turned over in his bed so he was facing away from them both. "Whatever."
Diana seemed ready to pursue the matter further, but J'onn intercepted her.
"He needs to rest."
The Martian guided her out of the room and into the corridor. They were currently based in an empty Waynetech warehouse, which Bruce had outfitted with equipment similar to that of the original Watchtower. It was just temporary, and Diana couldn't be happier about that.
J'onn gently closed the door and faced her.
She leant against the wall, her arms crossed. "What's wrong with him? Why would he do something so insane?"
"Perhaps he feels he has something to prove."
She looked up at him. "What? That's ridiculous."
J'onn didn't think so. "Also… I believe our attitude to Hawkgirl may be partially responsible."
"You mean my attitude."
He stared at her.
"She betrayed us. Does he expect me to just act like it never happened?"
"Perhaps."
"Well, I'm not going to. Just because he's naïve enough to think it doesn't matter, that doesn't mean I have to think it as well."
J'onn bowed his head in thought, unable to think of a reply.
