"Bruce can I talk to you?"

Batman asked Cyborg to transfer updates on the new members of the Justice League from the Watchtower computer to his Batcave computer when Alfred appeared from the staircase followed by Superman.

"Sir," Alfred called out, "Superman is here to see you"

"Thank you Alfred" Batman didn't turn around and continued to look at his large screened computer

"Is there anything I can get you Master Bruce?"

"No I'm fine Alfred, thanks"

"Very well," Alfred bowed to Batman then turned to Superman, "Is there anything I can get for you Superman?"

"I'm fine," Superman waved his hand to him, "thank you"

Alfred bowed then walked towards the stairs.

"You know I still can't believe how massive your Batcave look," Superman commented while looking up and down the cave

"What brings you here Clark?" Bruce asked, still looking at the computer and his back to his friend

"I'm just out here to visit my friend," Clark told him, "is that so bad?"

"We both know you're here for more than that Clark"

"Well honestly," Clark sighed, "I'm really just here to talk to you not as fellow Justice League members but as friends"

Bruce finally turned around to face Clark, "you do know that I'm not a role model when it comes to friends right?"

"I know," he told him, "but you're reliable enough"

"…" he went back to typing on his computer

Clark brushed the back of his neck and sighed, "I'm going to ask Diana to marry me"

Bruce paused from typing for a minute then continued on, "When?"

"I don't know, possibly tomorrow or the next day," Clark shrugged, "I mean to be honest I asked her before and she said 'yes' but I want to make it official by properly asking her, with a ring and everything"

"…"

"You seem quiet Bruce," Clark commented, "what is it?"

"I'm always quiet Clark," he reminded him. Bruce then stood up from his chair and walked towards Clark during which he took off his mask.

"Clark," he began, "you and Diana has an undeniable chemistry between each other, I and the rest of the Justice League members knew that and that is why we support you two even though others fear about your relationship with each other. It's not surprising for me that your relationship have progressed this far and will continue to progress. I'm not trying to stop you two from getting married but as a friend," he touched Clark by his shoulder, "I have to remind you that there will be certain risks in your marriage…. Though I'm sure that if it's you two, you will be able to overcome it, I'm just want to remind you"

"I know Bruce," Clark smiled to his friend, "and I thank you for that"

"Good" Bruce smiled back to him, "though I have to ask, why you chose to tell me first?"

"You're a well-known playboy," Clark laughed, "well it was between you and Hal but knowing Hal, he'd probably tell Barry about it immediately before I can even pop the question"

"Then you should've talked to Bruce Wayne as Clark Kent, not dressed up as Superman"

"What's the difference?"

"If you look at it closely, there's a massive difference," Bruce told him, "anyway, I'm sure that's not the real reason why"

"You're right," Clark grinned, "I want you to be my best man"

"What?" the surprised look from Bruce's face was clear to Clark, unlike other times when his expression was covered by his mask

"The great Batman is surprised" Clark commented

Batman cleared his throat and said, "I'd be glad to be your best man"

"Good," Clark nodded, "I'm glad…. I'll see you later Bruce"

Batman replied with a wave of his hand as he continued to type on his computer. Clark smiled as he left the Batcave, satisfied on his friend's advice and support.

Clark rummaged through his things; his closet, his clothes drawer until he finally found it, hidden in the sock drawer. He pulled the small red box from his drawer and opened it, only to reveal a small diamond ring. The diamond itself might've been small but the design around the diamond stood out with a perfect design that helped highlight the small diamond itself. The design was a light crust of glass shaped like a box that surrounded the diamond. The light that was reflected from the diamond, in turn was reflected by the small glass, allowing the ring to shine so brightly.

Clark remembered the first time he got the ring…

"Do you want me to drop you off by the bus station?" Jonathan Kent asked his son

"No I'm fine Pops"

"You got everything you need?" Martha Kent asked, "All your suitcases?"

"Yes"

"Your application forms?"

"Yes"

"Bus tickets?"

"Yes"

"Money?"

"Yes Ma," Clark sighed as he smiled to his mother, "I got everything"

"Stop babying our son Martha," Jonathan told her, "he's a man now, going to Metropolis and all"

"I know," she sighed, "it's just I can't believe how grown up my son is now"

"Don't worry Ma," Clark hugged her, "I will definitely come visit from time to time"

"Maybe by then you've got yourself a wife" Jonathan patted his son in the back. Clark blushed

"I definitely would want to meet her" Martha clapped, "Actually wait here…"

"Ma I have to go!" he called out but was too late, he turned to his father, "it's a bit early to be thinking about these things Pop, don't you think?"

"Nonsense!" Jonathan chuckled, "I want to at least meet my grandchildren before I die"

"Pa…"

"Here we go!" Martha appeared from inside the house, holding a small red box and giving it to Clark

He opened it to see a small diamond ring, whose design fascinated Clark, "Ma what's this?"

"That's the engagement ring your father gave me the day he proposed," she told him, "I want you to have it so that you may give it to the person you love and would plan to marry"

"I have to concentrate in helping to save the world first before I can think of these things," he reminded them, "for all we know I might not find her"

"Clark," Jonathan patted his son by the shoulder, "there's a destined one for every living thing in this planet, especially you who was sent here to save our world. You have to remember that"

"You're father's right Clark," Martha told her son, "for all we know she might come to your life sooner than you expected"

And sure enough she did; because it was the year after his arrival to Metropolis that he met her, his destined person, Diana of Themscyra aka Wonder Woman.

Jonathan and Martha Kent died on the same year that Clark left for Metropolis due to an accident. It had always been his greatest regret that he couldn't save them long enough for them to meet Diana, watch him marry her and eventually, maybe eventually, meet their grandchildren.

"Kal?" Diana called out, "I'm back!"

It had been a long day of flying everywhere around the world, saving those that needed her help. Diana was exhausted. She has missed most of her shifts due to being unconscious, and because of this; she tried to take in more work than before to make up for her misses.

She flew down Superman's Fortress of Solitude, where she and Clark have stayed whenever they're not at Clark's apartment in Metropolis. Diana preferred staying in the Fortress than Clark's apartment because of its quiet environment unlike in Metropolis where noises are heard from everywhere. Moreover, by staying in the Fortress, she could avoid meeting up with Jimmy Olsen, whom she found annoying.

It confused Diana when she didn't hear Clark's reply to her. She immediately looked in his weapons room where he has stored weapons from enemies and examined them- none. He wasn't there; she looked for him in their bedroom- none again; the technology room- none. Diana was starting to become impatient when she realized there was another room she hasn't looked for- the central room.

Clark built the central room after he and Diana has started dating. He wanted Diana to become as comfortable as she could possibly be in the Fortress. He thought the only way to do that was to make the Fortress look a bit like a house- and that meant having a living room.

As Diana approached the central room, her nose detected a sweet smelling scent coming from the room. As she stood by the doorway, she couldn't believe what she was seeing: irises of different colours where everywhere, to the point that they have almost covered up the whole room. Diana's heart fluttered at the sight of irises as it reminded her so much of Themscyra and it that it was her favourite flower.

In the middle of the massive bouquet of flowers was Clark. He was wearing his Superman costume, his hair was neatly combed but still a bit messy, he was wearing a red bowtie around his neck, which Diana found cute and finally, he wore a massive grin in his face.

"Kal what is-"

Clark walked towards her and took her hand, after which he went down on one knee and presented a beautiful diamond ring sitting in a little red box, "Princess Diana of Themscyra," he looked up to her blue eyes, "would you do me the honour of marrying me and becoming my wife?"

Diana smiled, just as her heart smiled with her. Her eyes were watering as she replied with "Yes"

Clark immediately took the ring from the box and gently slid it down her ring finger in her left hand, "It's a perfect fit" he told her

Diana instantly jumped to her fiancée's arms and hugged him tightly with joy spread across her face. Clark, in turn, held her in his warm embrace and buried his face down her neck. They shared their happy moment together, forgetting the world outside them during those precious moments together.

Clark finally released her, who in turn looked up to him and said, "you're full of surprises you know that?"

"It's hardly a surprise since I asked you before but," he replied, "surprises is something I will always do if you ask for it"

"But I never expected you to actually ask immediately after just two days"

"True, but when you told me you would marry me I just couldn't wait anymore for you to be my wife. Also, "He lifted her chin so that she was looking into his eyes, "I wanted to make this moment look special for you. You do know that every woman has dreamt of their proposals and weddings since they were a little kid, right?"

"I wasn't really sure about it before but yeah I have heard something about that before" she tried to remember the time someone mentioned it to her, "but these irises, they're beautiful!"

"Not as beautiful as you" he told her

Diana smiled and gave him a kiss, "thank you"

He smiled to her, "Although, we might need to move these flowers soon"

"Why is that?"

"Because I'm pretty sure they're already frozen and if we continue to leave them like this, they might wither soon"

"Then why did you choose a cold place to set-up the flowers?"

"Would you have not aroused suspicion if I told you to meet me in a specific place than here?"

"No…" Diana pouted

"Exactly. I wanted to surprise you, besides," he chuckled, "It was either this or my apartment where I'm pretty sure Jimmy would just ruin the mood"

Diana refrained from looking into Clark's eyes. She understood what he meant and was grateful that he thought about everything…. maybe except the condition of the flowers.

Clark lifted her face again so that she could look into his eyes, "I can't wait to get married to you"

"Neither can I"

Hey guys I'm already in my chapter 2! Anyway, my first chapter wasn't such a success but I'll try my best for the other chapters. This prequel will only just run for about 4-5 chapters, 6 at the most,(just as I intended) so I can immediately start my sequel (since I know everybody didn't expect for the prequel but the sequel instead).

Anyway, it might seem confusing but in the first chapter, it was more of a question than a proposal coming from Clark. Its here in the second chapter that he officially proposes.(Sorry for the confusion).

On the other hand, Batman sounded like a great and supportive best man! That was how I pictured Batman as- a person who respected Superman, who in turn considered Batman a true friend :) I f. ound the scene with flashback quite sad but sweet as I wrote it. And finally, I enjoyed witing the proposal!

Thank you for reading! Your reviews are what motivates me to continue writing so please review! :)

Next Up: Clark and Diana prepares for their wedding with a "little" help from their friends, the Justice League.
