Hello, loves!
Well...my gosh it's been way too long since I've updated here, huh? Yeah, definitely.
I want to give out a really sincere apology for not updating sooner...I had a lot of personal stuff and personal growth and I had a ton of schoolwork...plus, major writers block.
I feel really really bad about not updating and I'm so so sorry and I'm really trying to be better.
I think someone might have requested this on a review...but I'm not sure who...sorry about that...
I hope you enjoy this! So sorry for the wait!
Bruce sniffled.
Wally giggled.
"What are you laughing at?" Bruce grumbled towards the speedster.
"Oh nothing," Wally responded, covering his hand with his mouth before erupting into explosive laughter.
"Wally, please," Diana scolded him, shooing him away with her free hand as she tended to Bruce. She pressed the cool washcloth against his overheating forehead, not wanting the temperature rising any higher.
"Aw Bruce, you need Nurse Wonder Woman to take care of you?" Wally taunted.
Bruce gritted his teeth, growling at his companion.
"Big Batsy can't do it by himself," the redhead declared mockingly, pouting excessively.
"Wally," Diana warned sternly, eyes still focused on Bruce.
"The famous Dark Knight can take down The Joker, Bane, Poison Ivy, but get he can't get over the common cold!" Wally continued further.
"Why you little-" Bruce sprang from his seat, nearly kicking Diana in the gut, lunging at his collegue. He pinned the speedster to the ground, grasping both his wrists tightly while sitting on top of him.
"Bruce!" Diana chastised, not pleased that he had attacked his fellow teammate.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry!" Wally said, pleading sarcastically.
As Bruce opened his mouth to retort, Shayera and John burst into the room.
Shayera didn't even bother trying to help her friend, she instead collapsed into a fit of laughter.
"This isn't funny, Shay," the speedster grumbled from his uncomfortable position.
"Actually," John answered for her, "it is."
Suddenly, Bruce let out a heavy sneeze, almost head butting Wally in the process.
"Bruce! You have the flu! You shouldn't be walking around or jumping on people!" Diana told him, obviously very very unhappy with him.
"Pleaseeeeee let me go, Bats," Wally agreed with Diana, flashing a huge cheesy smile.
The Amazon tugged on his arm, trying to get him off the mocking speedster.
"Bruce," she said.
He clenched his jaw, giving Wally one last look-over before slowing coming off.
"Thank you," said Diana with a slight smile.
"Come on, Wally, let's go," John disclosed, pulling his arm along towards the door. "Feel better, Bruce!" he called, walking out the door, Wally right behind.
Shayera sent The Dark Knight a nod before exiting as well.
Once they were gone, Diana said gently, "Sit back down."
"I can take care of myself," Bruce mumbled.
"Bruce, how many times have we gone over this? That's what we're here for, so you don't have to take care of yourself," she claimed.
Without responding directly to what she just said, he answered "I'm not helpless."
The Princess put the washcloth back on his forehead. "I know that, Bruce. But you're still sick. Why won't you just sit still and let me take care of you?"
"There's still criminals to be fought," he stated, not looking at her.
"Why don't you trust that Clark and the others can take care of it?" she asked, turning to scoop a cool glass of water off the nearby table.
Bruce then looked at her, hard. "I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself, Princess," he repeated.
Diana rolled her eyes, shoving the water towards him. "Whatever you say."
I hope everyone enjoyed...as short as it was.
I'm gonna try harder to update. I promise.
Thanks for reading!
Love to all!
