"Dianaaaaa?" Wally called teasingly, stepping into the rec room with a grin plastered across his lips.
She looked up from her previous conversation with J'onn as he entered, taking notice of the objects resting in his possession.
"Recognize these?" he asked, sniffing the flowers. After glancing at her immediate reaction, his smile elongated.
Narrowing her eyes, she repressed the urge to lunge at him. "Wally, where did you get those?"
He averted answering her question directly, shrugging his shoulders overdramatically instead. "Diana Prince, do you have a secret admirer we should know about, perhaps?"
The Martian peered at both of them inquisitively, but the Amazon replied before he even had the ability to open his mouth. "They are absolutely none of your concern."
Pouting, he strided closer to her. "Come on, Di! You know you wanna tell me."
"Wally, it may be best if you simply-"
"J'onn! Be cool! I got this," he informed his green-skinned friend with a nod, "Di, who sent you the flowers?"
"Wally-"
"Was it that guy you saved last week on that military base?"
"I am not kidding."
"Ooh! Ooh! No, wait! Was it-"
"Wally-"
"No, no! I got it! It-"
"By the gods, I will-"
"It was Bruce, wasn't it? Holy speed force, it was Bruce!"
"Wally, I swear to great Gaia, if you do not put those back-"
The redhead giggled, clutching the half dead plants closer to his chest. "It was totally Bruce."
Diana inhaled a deep, slow breath. "You are so lucky-"
"That what? You haven't killed me yet?" he questioned, "Come on, Di! You know you can't resist telling me."
Moving closer in his direction, she clenched her fists. "Give them to me."
After hearing her tone, he asked, "What? Are you going to fight me for them?"
With both a raised eyebrow and her hands set on her hips, she gave him a smirk that was far from endearing. It was very frightening, in fact.
He immediately gulped, almost instantly losing his argument to the devilish gleam reflecting back at him in her eyes. Not even able to stare her down for a few seconds, he gave in. "Okay," he squeaked, "You can have them back."
She gave him a half satisfied, half triumphal shrug as her lips tugged upwards. He tossed the roses at her, delivering a slight groan before sulking out the doorway.
Diana placed the bouquet on the nearest table, still grinning while doing so.
As she shrunk back into the couch, J'onn remarked, "You really must change the passcode to your room."
She shook her head slowly. "Wally is very persistent with learning the details of each of our personal lives."
"He followed me down to Earth several days ago, insisting that I was meeting up with a woman."
"Were you?"
"...I was only going to the grocery store. He had eaten the last of my cookies. I was simply going to restock."
Diana almost managed to retain her proceeding chuckle.
"It's a good thing he doesn't know who these are really from," the Martian commented, giving the roses a sideways glance.
"It's a good thing no one knows, J'onn. I believe you're the only one who can keep a secret around here."
He shrugged. "You and Bruce seem to be hiding the relationship well enough."
"With Shayera and Wally around, Hera knows this won't last long," she murmured before they switched the conversation over to something much less secretive.
