Diana checks herself in the mirror for the nth time. She makes sure her hair is in place and will hold through the entire night. She looks suave with her sleek hair slathered with hair gel, and her pinstriped suit and black bow tie, just like how Gomez Addams look like. She even has a cigar, just for the look. She also managed to borrow a fencing sword from Bruce.
She dressed up as a man for this party, hoping to convey a message to Shayera. She blames her Wonder Woman outfit for being too girly; the probable reason Shayera doesn't take her seriously.
She didn't tell Tora what her costume was, in the off chance that she might dress up as Morticia Addams. They agreed to meet at Dr. Fate's house. Looking like a man might help Diana's case, but looking like she and Tora were a couple, not gonna help her case.
Diana started toward the transporter. People were doing double takes when they walked past her.
"Diana?" Batman wasn't sure if she was addressing the right person, if it wasn't for those distinct blue eyes.
"Bruce," Shayera smiled at him, then arched her brows, "That's your costume?"
"I'm not going. I'm gonna stay here with J'onn. Make sure things are running smoothly."
"Why am I not surprised?"
Bruce looks her up and down, "You look handsome." This made Diana smile from ear to ear, "Shayera seen this yet?" Batman smiled, an image she rarely sees.
Diana was taken aback by Bruce's loaded question at point blank range. Of course he knows, the Bats was a great detective, second only to Q. She started to wonder who else knows. She can't help but blush, this was not some standard info, it was personal.
Diana's red cheeks were telling, "No, she hasn't seen me. She's with her friends, Zattana and the others."
"Good luck," Batman said before leaving.
People were lining up on the transporter. She wanted to see J'onn before leaving. The Martian is not on his usual spot. She was about to give up her search when J'onn appears behind her. She should have been used to him phasing like this by now.
"Diana, I felt you looking for me."
She found that a little alarming but she paid it no mind, "Yes, I was. I wanted to say goodbye."
"You look exactly like what you accomplish to look like."
"Thank you. Coming from you, it's quite a compliment," She gives J'onn a hug, "I'll bring you back a cake or something."
"I don't eat cake."
"Come on Martian, live a little," Diana winked at him before falling in line.
It only took seconds to beam them to Dr. Fate's mansion. The place was huge and has realistic looking decorations. Dr. Fate's handiwork, she assumed. She poked one of the hacked-off limbs complete with dripping blood. It felt so real, like real human flesh and bone. She recoiled from it, not really wanting to find out more than she liked to know.
There were cobwebs strategically placed in the corners of the room, with matching spiders, big ones. There were tiny tomb stones erected on the sides. There were a couple of golden intricate sarcophagi with mummies in them, standing guard on either side of the door.
There was a faint sound of crackling thunder from the distance partnered with lightning. There were two huge tables lining the sides of the room, each decorated with pumpkin heads carved with different sinister expressions, candles illuminate the inside. All tables were also adorned with what Diana hoped was fake human skulls, shrunken heads, bones, limbs, among other things. There was an open bar at the end of the room. It had all kinds of wine, beer, liquor and spirits. There were also a handful of waiters around. Diana wondered if Bruce lend a helping hand in financing the whole shindig.
On the first table there were tons of finger foods. One plate held Halloween treats that looked like real fingers, another plate held eyeball candies, while another held cupcakes with delectable frosting. There are two big bowls of punch perched as center pieces, underneath they were glowing. The first bowl had punch with some alcohol in it, and the other had even more alcohol than the first one. On the other table across the room, more food. There were a variety of salads, sandwiches, grilled meat, kebabs and pasta. There was no cake but there was pie.
Diana is beside herself with excitement. She was tingling with anticipation. She scanned the room for a redhead with a pair of wings. Unfortunately, zombie Tora found her first.
"Diana, hey. If I had known you were gonna be Gomez Addams, I would have paired up with you," Tora was disappointed. "Here, got you a drink."
"Is it alcohol?" Diana asked before she could stop herself.
Tora laughed at her, "You're so cute."
Diana laughed too. Everything here had alcohol in them, she wouldn't be surprised if the food did too. They had all the bases covered.
