Chapter 6
A/N- Something a little different this time. We'll be taking a look into the other Earth in this chapter. Sorry for it being short. Anyways thanks again! Remember to review and check out my second story!
Prime Earth
Bruce woke up, sweating profusely and panting like a dog. He swiftly looked around the room, searching for any possible danger against his wife and child. Soon realisation struck him. Damn it, another nightmare, he thought. He turned to look at his beautiful, who lay on her side next to him fast asleep.
Bruce couldn't help but smile at his wife as she slept peacefully. Even with the massive lump at consumed her stomach, Diana was truly stunning. She almost always slept these days as carrying a half Amazon in her stomach consumed much of her energy. Bruce brushed her cheek lightly as he continued to admire his wife lovingly. Diana stirred under his touch and opened her yes confusion on her face.
"Bruce, what's wrong?" she asked sleepily.
"It's nothing, Diana. Go back to sleep," Bruce answered. But Diana's expression turned to one of concern.
"Another nightmare," she said. It sounded more like a statement than a question. She sat up slowly so as to not disturb the baby and cause any pain. "Bruce, you've had these dreams every night for the past week and a half. You could at least tell me about it."
Bruce shook his head.
"I don't want you worrying about me, Princess," Bruce replied.
"I'm already worried about you," she backfired.
"Fine," Bruce shouted louder than he intended. He thought for a moment. How could he explain his dream without scaring her?
"I'm waiting Mister Wayne," teased Diana. Bruce glared at her, which made her respond with a glare of her own.
"It's about you," Bruce finally said. Diana's head snapped back in surprise as her eyes widened.
"Well that explains a lot," she sarcastically commented.
"Shush I'm still explaining," warned Bruce. "Anyway. You..." he hesitated.
"Bruce?" Diana looked seriously worried. Bruce looked at her with pain in his eyes.
"You and the baby both die during labour," he said, his voice devoid of emotion.
"How?"
"You go into labour here. Alfred, Dick and your mother are with us as well. While you're in labour, a shadow comes in and stabs you in a gut before it kills everyone else in the room except for me. I watch as...as the life life leaves your eyes. The last thing that happens is looking at your blood on my hands before I wake up," he concludes. He searches Diana's face for any signs of concern, but all he finds is her trying to fight a smile.
"What's so funny?" he growls angrily. That's what sets Diana into a fit of laughter. Bruce waits until she's finished crying of laughter, all the while as he stares daggers into her.
Diana ignores him as she wipes away the tears from her eyes, stilling giggling like a lunatic. As she finally managed to control herself, she looked at Bruce's furious expression, which automatically made her start laughing again.
Bruce waited rather impatiently for Diana to finish her moment of lunacy. He was seriously wondering why he married her in the first place.
"Is it your hormones or have you finally snapped?" He furiously asked. Composing herself Diana grinned.
"That's what's been plaguing you this whole week?" she laughed. "It sounds like a cliche that came from a bad movie."
"Diana, I would have thought the same thing, but I have never had a dream as real as this before," he growled.
"Bruce, I'm not going to die in childbirth. If some shadow ninja did come barging in and tried to kill me and our child I'd kill him," reassured Diana. Bruce smirked.
"Knowing you, you would probably be fighting a hundred ninja while pushing the baby out at the same time," he mocked. Diana grinned.
"Come here my Dark Knight," she teased as she snuggled up to her husband's hard body.

"I've succeeded in seeding doubt into the Batman's mind," she said. "He is now convinced that his nightmares are just dreams, nothing more." She brushed a strand of her hair away from her face so she could better see her ally. The shadowy figure folded his arms in pleasure.
"Excellent. We will begin phase two of our plans in five days. If all goes well, the Princess will be our's and the Batman's spirit will be broken, and then he will declare war on me," replied the shadowed figure menacingly. His eyes glowed red in the dark, further showing the bloodlust contained. His ally shrunk back in fear, but immediately she relaxed and smile wickedly.
"Our revenge will be upon us soon my dear. Then we can be together forever, just like you promised," she cooed. Though she couldn't see it, the man grinned.
"We shall see."
