Before you guys read this, I want to explain that this wasn't totally my 100-percent original idea. It sort of is, but for the most part, this is inspired by another piece of truly awesome fanfiction. Lady Jaye1 wrote this great Justice League oneshot called Parallels (it's on my favorites if you want to look for it/read it first). I definitely recommend reading it if you haven't, because it's about Adult!Terry and Diana's opinion on him and Bruce and it's just really entertaining.

Anyway, this is sort of similar to her oneshot, which is why I'm putting up this little warning/disclaimer now, even though it's hardly what I'd classify as identical.

Feel it comin' in the air
Hear their screams from everywhere
I'm addicted to the thrill
It's a dangerous love affair
Can't be scared when it goes down
Got a problem tell me now
Only thing that's on my mind
Is who's gonna run this town tonight?

"I do not understand… Who is this Oracle of which you speak? I thought your Oracle was Barbara Gordon. Isn't she a police commissioner now?"

Max's fingers hesitated on the keys for a fraction of a second before she resumed her watch over south Gotham, simultaneously listening on her headset to her feed of the GCPD's radios.

"No, the Commish is still working for the GCPD. We have someone different working as the Oracle. Personally, I like her more."

Max paused again, a smirk flitting across her features before she went back to work.

"Diana, I'd like to introduce you to our new Oracle, Maxine Gibson. Max, meet the one and only Wonder Woman."

Swiveling around in the chair, Max slid off her headset and stood up. "It's great to meet you, Wonder Woman," she said, offering the older woman a friendly smile and a handshake.

"Please, call me Diana," she corrected gently, smiling politely, albeit a tad distantly. "And it's nice to meet you, too, Maxine."

She laughed, running her hand through vibrant blue locks. "Actually, it's Max. I hate the name Maxine. Too formal."

There was a moment of awkward silence, and Max had to resist the urge to fill it with useless babble. Before she could open her mouth and say something she would regret, the computer blared and the police scanner built streaming into her headset began to rattle off a series of letters, numbers, and coordinates.

She pressed the headset quickly to her ear as her brain kicked to life, immediately translating the new information. "There's a robbery in progress at the Gotham United Bank," she said, giving Terry a sympathetic look as she twisted around to face the computer, tapping the keys and bringing up a live feed of inside the bank. Watching the video, she winced and said, "It's the Royal Flush Gang."

"Shit," Terry cursed, and she turned back around, long enough to watch him jog towards the Batmobile, throwing on his cowl as he did. "Diana, you can stay with Max," he said over his shoulder, hoisting himself up and over and smoothly sliding into the cockpit. "I can handle this on my own."

Diana looked alarmed, wide-set blue eyes blinking owlishly. "I think I should help him," she said, reaching to unbutton her navy suit jacket.

Max laughed, holding up her hands. "Don't worry about it," she said, leaning against the back of the chair. "Trust me, Terry has the Royal Flush Gang covered. They've become a total joke since Ten and Jack turned civilian."

Diana's eyebrows knitted together only for a moment, and then her face relaxed to something almost knowing. "He's a lot like Bruce, isn't he?" she said, smiling.

Blinking, Max tried to catch up with Diana's sudden change in personality. She subtly pressed the Mute button on her headset so Terry wouldn't be able to listen in on their conversation.

Diana grinned wryly, clear eyes flickering past Max's head to watch the video feed. "Even when he was in the Justice League, Bruce always preferred to do things his way first. From what I have heard from the new League and what I have seen here, Terry's not all that different."

That elicited a chuckle on Max's part. "Oh, that's true enough," she said, crossing her arms across her white t-shirt-clad chest. "They're both equally stubborn and block-headed."

Diana's vision drifted off, glancing around the spacious cave at all the various relics Bruce had amassed. "It's not just the stubborn aspect," she said, wandering over to the giant penny and the dummies dressed in Two-Face, Harley Quinn, and the Penguin's costumes. "They both possess that unflinching ability to rush into the unknown- in Themyscira, this was considered an honorable trait among future warriors."

"Terry's a warrior alright," Max said with a smirk. "I think that's half the reason why he and Wayne get along so well."

"Kindred spirits," Diana agreed. A soft smile lightened her pure features- even with all the decades that had gone by, there was barely a line or a wrinkle on her face. "That is why I believe Terry will outlast all of Bruce's sidekicks. He is the closest thing to a partner Bruce will ever have."

Max was struck silent, surprised by Diana's speech.

"Bruce and Clark were always friends, but when it came down to it, they were too different," Diana continued, fingertips resting against the glass case that held Red Claw's defunct bomb. "Bruce was never a white knight- he left that to other people."

Glancing back at the computer screen, Max watched as Batman took on Ace. The android was already sporting holes in several places, a couple of which were sparking. "Bruce was called the Dark Knight for a reason," she said. "It's the same for Terry. I don't think he'd ever want to be the shining knight in armor, swooping in to get the girl and save the day. He's better in the night."

Diana grinned, smoothing her navy pencil skirt. "Terry is a good fit for Batman," she said. "His personality may differ from Bruce, but when it comes to Batman they're almost always one in the same."

Max smiled back at the Amazonian princess. "I couldn't have said it any better myself."

This is actually the first time (to my knowledge) that I have written Diana. I think I did a decent job with her characterization, but I know there's always room for improvement. ;)

Kyoko, hope this filled your need to see Diana in a drabble (evenif it wasn't a direct Diana/Bruce)!

I think next I'm going to do a drabble for Pink. What other colors should I do after that?
