AU: Suddenly had muse again. Get ready for the fluff! This is for my readers. :D

Emma stood there in the rain, watching as the rose's petals were hit again and again with water droplets. She and J'onn were out here – soaking wet – somewhere where no one else could see them, so that he could be in usual Justice League outfit. The rain also concealed her tears, the tears she cried in joy as she held her face in her hands and watched with sudden elation as he slowly dropped to a knee.

He said something unintelligible, and for the first time in a long time, she had no idea what he meant. Her eyebrows scrunched, and though she still cried, she managed to get out a, "What?"

He smiled at her. "I just asked if you would marry me in Martian."

She laughed and choked on a sob at the same time. "You should really teach me to speak it some time."

"Some of the words are unpronounceable in English and require muscles and mouth parts that humans do not possess."

She realized then that she had not answered him, and he was getting soaked down there on one knee, but she couldn't seem to get that one word out. Instead, she asked, "Is this how Martians propose to one another?"

"No. This isn't even close to the way I would be doing it if you were a Martian."

"How would you do it if I were a Martian?"

"Well, first of all, I wouldn't be offering you a ring."

"Why are we speaking out loud?"

"I don't know. It seemed more appropriate for the situation."

"Well, stop it. I don't like it when my mind feels empty like this. I'm so used to you always there."

J'onn smiled at her again and stood up.

Wait! Emma said, in her mind. I haven't given you an answer yet… She fidgeted nervously.

Our minds are constantly linked, Emma. I already know your answer.

I'd still like to say it.

He took a step forward and leaned down so that their lips brushed. Then say it.

Emma felt her heart pound in her chest from his closeness. Both aloud and in her mind she spoke the word she was so desperate to speak: "Yes."

She felt his lips curl up into a smile, and then he kissed her deeply. She felt their mutual desire for one another, but it was cut off almost instantly. He pulled back a little and took her hand, to slide the ring onto her finger. The jewel he had picked out – or whatever it was – was unlike anything she had ever seen. It was small and perfectly round, like a marble, and when one looked at it, there seemed to be an entire universe inside of it. Emma could see stars and galaxies and suns and planets and they twinkled and shined with a bright glow.

Where did you get this? she asked, staring at its surface.

He chuckled. It's a long story.

Emma felt the tears well up in her eyes all over again, the realization hitting her. She hid her face in his chest and wrapped her arms tightly around him.

Where would you like to have the wedding? he asked gently as he held her.

I – I don't know. Where could we have it? It's not like the whole world can know we're married. Remember what happened to my mother? She was kidnapped because that maniac found out about us being together and wanted to hurt you. So, wherever we got married, it would have to be somewhere secret.

Not really, J'onn said slowly. I can shapeshift, remember? I could take on whatever form was necessary so that we would blend in.

But if we were going to do that then you'd have to change your name, too. Or else we would be lying on our marriage license, and I'm not doing that.

Hmm…

Emma had a sudden idea, and she looked up into his face with an excited glimmer. J'onn…?

Yes, Emma?

Could we… maybe… have the wedding somewhere not on Earth? I mean, you and the rest of the team go off to different planets all the time, don't you?

We could, I suppose. Though we would have to find a planet that was similar enough to Earth's to allow you and anyone else there to breathe and otherwise function properly.

I'm sure there are plenty of places like that, though. Aren't there?

Mm. Alright, let me think on it for a while, and I'll see what I can come up with.

Okay. And J'onn?

Hmm?

I love you.

He planted another kiss on her lips, this one softer. I love you, too, Emma.
