Thanks to all of you who reviewed! Here's chapter 3!
Diana knocks on the bathroom door, "Bruce?" she asks.
"Come in," he answers.
She walks in to find him laying down in the empty bathtub, rubbing his forehead with the tips of his fingers. "You okay?" she asks.
"Yes. I'm just trying to think," he tells her.
She takes a seat on the edge of the tub and asks, "Having any luck?"
"No. I can't think of anyone who would wish to 'thank' me like this and have the magical prowess to do so, nor can I come up with an alternate way out of the spell," he admits.
Diana thinks for a second, "What about the Demon?" she asks.
Batman shakes his head, "If Etrigan was inclined to do something like this, he probably would have had the four of you naked and chained to the bed. I know it isn't Ra's either, he would have cast the spell to just leave his daughter and I alone," he answers.
She takes all that in, and can't find any fault in his logic. She looks down onto his face and makes eye contact with him, "What are you going to do now?" she asks.
He sighs, "You and I can't fulfill the spell, because of medical reasons," her cheeks turn red at his mention of 'medical reasons', "and Black Canary is in a relationship. So I'm left with either turning the friendship between Zatanna and I painfully awkward, or possible breaking Selina's heart," he answers.
"Break her heart? She seems real eager to get a piece of you," Diana says.
"She loves me Diana, and I don't use those words lightly," he tells her flatly.
There is a stretch of silence between the two of them, "Do you love her Bruce?" Wonder Woman finally asks.
"Yes, part of me always will. I even think that we are soul mates. That might even be why we'll never work. She's as attached to her freedom as I am to my mission, and neither of us could set them aside for the other. It hurt a lot when she left me, but that doesn't mean I want to hurt her back," he answered.
"Like repels I guess," she replies with a smile on her face, "I like Zatanna, I wouldn't mind if you had to spend the night with her, under different circumstances I would want to join the two of you. I don't like Catwoman, she annoys me, however I'd understand if you chose to use her to get us out of this. Either way, you have some time to make up your mind, just don't forget who gets you when all this is over," she leans down and plants a deep kiss on the Dark Knight. Then she smiles, "Then again, if you wait too long, Canary might just get fed up and jump your bones herself."
Batman laughs at that, "Great, I'd love to try and explain that to Green Arrow."
The two are taken out of their moment by a knock at the door, "Come in," Batman answers, getting out of the tub.
The door opens and Black Canary peeks inside, "We're all bored and nothing is showing up on your tv but Porn," she says.
"Wow, it has been a while for you hasn't it?" Wonder Woman asks sarcastically.
"Its the spell, Diana," he tells her in his usual irritated growl.
"Yeah whatever, do you have something else to help pass the time?" Dinah asks.
The detective thinks for a few seconds, "See if the nightstand on the left side of my bed opens up," he tells her.
As Canary leaves to check, Diana turns to Batman and asks, "What do you keep in there?"
"Deck of Cards," he answers.
