The trip to the Watchtower wasn't one of the things Wally prepared himself to visit. Considering Diana blocked all access to teleport to the main headquarters, the speedster felt going in the Javelin was one of the worst possible travelling options available. Flying alongside Batman wasn't bad, nor was the flight. It's the amount of time it took to get there. Beaming to the headquarters took only a matter of seconds. Flying took longer. He wanted to see what Hawkgirl and Wonder Woman had in mind with him and Bruce now and not later.

"Are we there yet?" He asked. The speedster shifted in his seat when the Dark Knight glanced in his general direction. "We're leaving the stratosphere and should arrive there in under a minute."

"I wish she'd let us materialise or disseminate over there."

"Then it would ruin the surprise."

"You never told me what she plans on having you do to me." The Flash grinned when Batman's slits narrowed. "I'd rather not tell."

Wally un-buckled his strap to the seat, trekking his way towards Bruce. "Why not?"

"It's embarrassing." He growled. Wally put an arm around Bruce. "Like Diana would ruin your rep. C'mon, Bruce. I promise not to tell." The speedster briefly put his arm around the billionaire. "I'm sure her intentions are to bring us even closer together. Tell me before I guess it." Wally landed a hasty kiss on Batman's cheek. He felt the man's change of expression in return. 'Maybe he'd tell now.'

"Being affectionate isn't going to get me to tell you." He stoically replied. '...Or not.'

"Right, right. Doesn't mean I have to stop."

"We're here."

Flash stared fixedly at the Watchtower clearance gates opening. "Huh. I guess a minute flies by when you're flirting."

"Who says I was flirting? You started it."

Wally ignored it. "You could even say we arrived in a"

"Don't say it." Batman intercepted.

"Arrived in a flash." The speedster finished. By the look on the Dark Knight's face, Wally assumed Bruce was on the verge of actually face palming. The red-haired man laughed anyway. "Like my pun, Bats?"

"Unfortunately, for you, I don't have to answer yes or no. Get out, Wonder Woman's got a special gift just for us." The javelin's auto-pilot mode guided the jet, landing near the entrance to one of the Watchtower's doors. When the double metal gates closed, the superheroes exited the plane making their way inside.

"Eventually, your grumpy self won't have a choice. I'm going to find out as soon as we get ready."

Out of nowhere, Hawkgirl appeared dressed in an olive coloured dress with a green sash wrapped across from her arm to her waist. She wore a necklace with a ruby diamond in the middle and a bracelet with a matching jewel. She wore the standard matching pumps with the outfit. In short, Wally thought his friend was absolutely stunning. "Boys," she said. "Welcome back. As you can see based on my attire, it's a classical 40's theme with a 50's touch."

Flash looked down at his own outfit. "Why did you have us dress in our own superhero outfits instead?"

"How would the public respond when they find out Wally West and Bruce Wayne are travelling in the Justice League's Javelin?"

"Oh."

"The sudden appearance of our civilian identities would raise suspicion, thus having the public tying two-and-two together that Wally West is The Flash and Bruce Wayne is the Batman." The Dark Knight explained as the speedster began to open his mouth a second time. "That's why we we're required to go as our second identities."

"Honestly, I call bullsh-"

Hawkgirl interrupted before the Flash began to swear. "As much as I would enjoy you two talking over such trivial matters, we have your outfits ready in your rooms. Follow me and rendezvous with Wonder Woman in thirty minutes." Shayera motioned them to follow her. Surrendering, Wally went along Batman to their desired locations.

Upon separating to their places, Bruce winked at the speedster when they parted ways.

"What was that for?"

"You'll see Wally. You'll see."

Shayera twirled around. "Boys. To your rooms. Now."

"But Shay! I wanna know!"

"Wally, for so help me god...if you don't get yourself ready in t-minus twenty-eight minutes and forty seconds, I'm going to march in there carrying my mace."

"You won't shock me."

"Who says I won't?"

"Ok! Ok! I'm going!" He whined.

The Thanagarian gave Bruce a small shrug. "Gotta get him motivated somehow."

"I have other ways than threatening him."

"Yea yea, Mr. Bat. You get ready or I'll send Wonder Woman after you."

"Who says I'll cause mayhem?"

"Just a warning."


Several minutes later.


"Wally's in for a treat once we get ready for Act 1."

Wonder Woman glanced at the mirror ahead. A lovely shade of red lipstick really did go well with the violet dress Shayera hand-selected for the Amazonian to wear. Now all she had to do left was to make sure Wally chose the right tux out of his closet. Nobody needs to see the speedster dressed in a pea soup coloured attire. Who in their right mind chooses such an appalling outfit?

'Never mind', she thought. 'Hopefully the "fashion gods" will guide him and not compel the green-eyed man to wear that.'

At that moment, the JLA intercom announced the founding seven members to meet in the Promenade

"All founding members report to the Promenade. This is not an emergency. All members report to the Promenade."

'Wally West, you're in for the biggest shock of your life.' Diana chuckled slightly.

She began walking out of her room as she spotted her "partner in crime" in this whole escapade enter the room.

"Ready?" Hawkgirl asked.

"Ready as I'll ever be. Got the soundtrack for this party?"

"Yup. John's got the booze."

"Are you sure Batman will allow alcoholic beverages inside the Watchtower?"

"Diana...as long as we keep our mouths shut...he can't find out. Correct?"

Both woman howled in laughter.

"Got the masks that correspond to each hero?"

Hawkgirl nodded. "I brought you yours. I have mine with me." She lifted both her arms, revealing one that resembled her old helmet and Wonder Woman's which closely resembled her tiara. Except this one fully covered her eyes like a domino mask. And, unlike hers, this was clearly that of fake gold.

The Amazonian took hers and put it over her eyes. "How do I look?"

"Stunning as you'll ever be. What about me?"

"You look like you did before you took your old helmet off. But this looks better on you."

Hawkgirl took Wonder Woman's hand. "Let's show the men we know how to start a party!"


Minor update fix on September 21st, 2012.

Simplistic approach to writing this.

Thanks for reading!

Can you guess what Diana has in store for the two heroes?
