Diana woke up the following morning with her curiosity still peaked and growing with each passing moment. She climbed out of bed and took a quick shower before putting on some civilian clothing. Then she took her armor and polished the metal pieces including her tiara before setting the cloth portion through the portable washer/dryer supplied in each League member's quarters. While she waited on her uniform to finish being cleaned and dried, Diana decided taking some time to get something to eat for breakfast was in order. She quickly pulled her still damp hair up into a tight pony tail, and left her quarters heading to the commissary. When she arrived, Flash, J'onn, and Superman were at a table together. Flash was the first to notice her there. He quickly sped around the commissary, and before she could do anything a tray was in her hands with various fruits, a bagel, and a iced mocha. "Morning Wondy!" Flash said cheerfully before returning to his seat. "Rumor has it you and Bats had an interesting evening."

"Yes." She responded as she set the tray down next to the three of them and took a seat. "Interesting seems to be the word that would best fit for last night."

"According to the monitors, the major incident last night occurred in Gotham." Superman joined in. "I'm surprised that Batman was willing to let you go with him."

Diana blushed slightly as she put some cream cheese onto her bagel.

"No way!" Flash exclaimed. "What did you have to do to get Bats to let you come along?"

"I sort of….threatened to tear apart all of the Javelins if he didn't let me go with him." She answered somewhat sheepishly.

"And he didn't call your bluff?" Flash responded inquisitively.

Diana gave him a look that basically told Flash that she wasn't bluffing before biting into her bagel.

"I wouldn't expect that to work a second time." J'onn added.

"No, it won't work again." Diana added with a dejected tone. "I made a mistake in taking the Joker lightly, and that resulted in him being able to escape from capture. Hopefully Batman won't ban my presence in his city because of that."

"Funny you should mention that Diana." Superman chimed in. "The Justice League's presence has been requested for a charity event in Gotham tonight."

Diana raised a curious eyebrow upon receiving this news. "Why would they want us there?" She asked.

"They want some extra firepower to get the big money donations rolling in Di." Flash answered while cramming his mouth full of food. "Celebrity power attracts the most attention."

"I don't know if we should attend." Superman stated. He still felt uneasy being around the perceived most powerful people in the country, and he didn't care much for dealing with rich snobs. Besides, being Gotham, he knew that Bruce Wayne would likely be attending which would mean that Batman wouldn't, and that could draw attention to Bruce's secret identity if he were the only no show and the gala being in his own city.

"I believe we should seek out Batman's opinion on the matter before a decision is made." J'onn suggested.

"Aww man." Flash whined. "We might as well chock that one up to another missed opportunity for some fun. Bats doesn't even know the meaning of the word for crying out loud."

Diana had heard about enough from Flash's whining at that point. "We can ask when Batman returns to the Watchtower this afternoon." She said as she got up from her seat and picked up her tray. "He informed me last night that he would be here." She then walked back to her personal quarters. Once there, she would finish her breakfast and get ready to head to the training room. She had some pent up aggression to work out of her system after having been captured so easily the night before.

~~ Wayne Enterprises ~~

Lucius Fox was in Bruce's office as they were going through some legal paperwork. Bruce had spent the first couple of hours already working through all of the leads he had come across before. When Lucius had brought in all of the paperwork to go through though, it helped to give Bruce two possible suspects. One of the two lead him to Luthor Corp, as that was this scientist's previous place of employment. Lucius had also received reports that Luthor Corp had plans on attempting to move in. This was something that they simply could not allow. And that was what Bruce and Lucius were now working on. After spending another two hours of planning, Bruce had scanned all of the documentation, and sent it to the company's lawyers. He then walked Lucius out before he called it a day and headed home himself. On the drive home, Bruce called Barbara Gordon, informed her of what he wanted to have happen, and then asked her to contact Dick about his plan to secure Bruce Wayne's status as nothing more than the playboy. She agreed that regardless of their tumultuous situation; that Dick would likely also see the necessity around it as it would be best for all of them in the long run.

When Bruce arrived home; as always he had a waiting Alfred with a meal prepared for him before he could head down to the cave. He begrudgingly took the meal and headed straight towards the cave entrance. Once down there, Bruce set the tray of food down and logged onto his Cray supercomputer. He pulled up the file that had been started on Wonder Woman, and then pulled up the finished report on her DNA that had run throughout the morning. He looked over the results before inputting them into his file on Wonder Woman. Some results were surprising to him. Her blood type appeared to be nothing out of the ordinary when compared to any common human being's. Though there were some indicators to be found in her DNA strand, but nothing as extravagant as when compared to a Thanagarian, Kryptonian, or Martian. Based on her DNA alone, if he hadn't seen her with his own eyes, he'd have been hard pressed scientifically to believe she would be classified as such a powerful Meta.

Finished with his report, Bruce saved it and walked over to the locker room area, where he changed into the bat suit. He pulled on the cape and cowl while making his way over to the Batwing. After performing a systems check, and refueling the jet, he climbed in and fired up the engines. Within seconds he was in the air and swiftly flying upwards towards the Watchtower. He was intending to begin the construction of the teleporter pad, get through the tests with Diana, and plant the seeds to get at least some of the League members to accept the invitation to the charity event tonight. Hopefully J'onn had acquired most of the equipment that they had laid out in the previous status meeting. If not, there was some of the necessary equipment already on board that would be enough to get started on. He was also anxious to go through the tests with Diana. Something about her had piqued his interest. Her DNA results had only stoked the fire that was his interest in her. He couldn't pin down the actual cause of his intrigue as of yet, but none the less he would push forward until he had all of the information that he felt he needed. In the case of being Batman, that would usually encompass knowledge of every angle, every possible thing that could potentially affect any outcome so that he could formulate any necessary course of action or actions.

As soon as Batman landed the Batwing inside the Javelin bay, he knew that something was not right as he had spotted Superman waiting on him to climb out of the Batwing. With a deep frustrated sigh, Batman climb out and headed straight for the door out of the Javelin Bay. Superman turned as Batman walked passed him. "Batman, a word if you don't mind." Superman said.

"What is it Kent?" Batman asked.

"The Justice League received an invitation to a charity gala in Gotham for tonight." Superman started explaining. "Flash wants to attend, but we all thought that you deserved the option of first refusal. If you don't want us to go then…"

"Save it Kent." Batman interrupted. "I already know about it. I think you should go. It would raise more funding for Gotham's defense department, and in that city, there is never enough funding for defending it properly." Batman was actually glad that Superman had brought this topic up. That had actually saved him from having to work it in at some point while he was on the Watchtower.

"So, you'll be going then?" Superman asked as he continued following Batman down a hallway.

"No." Batman answered. "I'm busy."

"So Bruce Wayne will be in attendance then." Superman more stated than questioned. He couldn't help but to wonder if Batman was up to something. It was so unlike him to accept any Meta in his city, regardless of the cause. But he also knew better than to ask very many questions when Batman had actually acquiesced. "Very well, I'll inform the rest of the team, and we'll decide who will represent the League."

Batman grunted and continued on his path. He was seeking out Diana for the moment. The tests he had to run wouldn't take long, and then he could focus on the teleporters. He first went into the Monitor Womb, and found only J'onn there. The Martian turned and greeted him in just the same way that he would have if the roles had been reversed. Batman walked over to a monitor and typed in a command searching for all League members' locations. He kept the search wide so as to prevent anyone believing that he was focusing in on one individual. The search results revealed to him that Wonder Woman was currently in the training area. Batman then turned on his heels and exited, now heading towards the Amazon princess.

Diana was in the middle of a fight with multiple enemies, and that allowed Batman to enter into her training room undetected. He made his way over to the controls panel and looked at the settings Diana was currently using. She had the settings at the highest possible danger levels that stayed within the parameters set forth for any Leaguer to train with. Batman however noticed something different about what Diana was doing. When looking at the listing of villains she was having simulated, Batman realized that she was currently fighting with many of his own enemies. She had been through Joker, Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, and Firefly so far. Batman was impressed and intrigued by this. Why was she selecting his rogue's gallery? He asked to himself internally. Perhaps she was embarrassed about how easily she had been caught the night before? As he watched her fighting, he noticed something about her technique as well that grabbed his attention. While she was handling herself very well, he noticed that her fighting tactics were somewhat one dimensional, and if that didn't work she was quick to rely on her powers to get her out of any tight spot. He decided to change the game a tad, and started typing in commands on the control panel.

Diana was working up a good sweat after she had increased the danger level settings. The simulations of Batman's rogues were challenging to say the least at that high of a difficulty level, but her Amazon training was proving to be efficient in bringing the enemies down. After some time though, she thought she noticed a glitch in the training simulation as for a split second the hologram projection around each droid flashed off before returning to the villains again. Suddenly she was having difficulty blocking all of the attacks that were aimed at her. She had to become defensive for the majority of the battle, and while she was able to avoid a good portion of the blasts, more frequently they were striking her at a higher percentage. The Joker droid feinted a punch that Diana tried to counter. If it had been a real attempt, she'd have been successful, but being a feint, the Joker droid was more than prepared to use her counter attack against her. The droid latched onto her arm and pulled her over as it performed a hip toss, slamming her to the ground. Before she could do anything, the Mr. Freeze droid locked each appendage to the ground with separate ice blasts. The Ivy droid then used its powers to wrap Diana up in vines while the Joker droid hovered over her with a knife at the ready. She yelled in rage as she began to use her powers to break free when she was stopped in her tracks at the sound of a deep baritone voice. "Computer, stop simulation." It commanded.

All the droids stood down, and Diana was instantly freed. She rose to her feet as she glared at Batman standing before her. He held out a bottle of water for her, which she violently snatched from his hands. "What did you do Batman, remove the security protocols so that I would be defeated?" She spat out.

Batman smirked at her angered state before answering. "No. I just gave them different fighting techniques."

"Why would you do that?" She asked, still extremely irritated. "None of them, according to the files have those techniques at their disposal. I was trying to educate myself with those villains."

"You're right, none of them have that knowledge." Batman stated. "But I do." He turned on his heels and went to exit before she grabbed his shoulder from behind.

Diana suddenly smirked as she placed her hands on her hips. This couldn't have turned out any better if she had planned it out herself. Batman had just supplied her with a perfect opening to get what she had wanted in the first place. She stared right into the white slits of Batman's cowl. "Well in that case, why don't you spare with me then?" She asked defiantly. "I promise not to be too hard on you little man."

Batman made sure that he remained as unreadable as ever before he responded. "I don't think we have time for that. You still have your testing to perform."

Diana was adamant that she would not be denied. "Come on now Batman. We could up the ante and decide on a wager. At the very least I would bet that something from sparring with you would provide you at least some of the results your precious tests are supposed to derive."

Batman thought about that for a moment. He could maneuver in a way that would get him to test Diana's flexibility somewhat. He also knew not to let her "little man" comment get under his skin, as he knew without a doubt that doing so was her primary intention when using it. "What are the terms?" Hearing her out couldn't hurt anything he'd decided.

"Perhaps the first one to achieve three pin falls or submissions will be the deciding factor as to coming up to the winner." Diana suggested. "If you win, not only will I perform all of your tests without any form of complaint or refusal, but I will also adhere to any information that you desire to know about me for the next 24 hour period. I also promise not to ask for any reasoning behind information you request of me. However, when I win, then I get out of the tests entirely without question, and you have to answer to any request I make for the next 24 hours."

Batman had absolutely no desire to give Diana that much time to ask for anything that she could possibly be curious about. "Make that one hour." He countered. "And you cannot ask about anything that would reveal my secret identity to you."

Diana thought about it for a moment. All she had sought out for in reality was just the chance to spar with Batman. That he'd even considered the rest of her proposal excited her to no end. She waited for what she believed would be an acceptable amount of time so as not to appear overly eager to accept his counter offer. "Very well, Batman. We have an agreement. Do you wish to lay out any combat ground rules?"

Batman's mind raced through all the possibilities. How long could he last against a Class A Meta human? No, that wouldn't help him get to the results he was looking for. "I will refrain from using any of my equipment, and you don't use any of your powers." He offered. "We can test solely from our combat skills."

"I agree to these terms." Diana stated before tossing the bottle of water away and getting into a fighting stance. She was very excited to see how her Amazon training would handle someone with various martial arts abilities. She was extremely confident that her many years of training would gain her a decisive victory.

Batman removed his belt as a show of good faith, and laid it next to the training room console before joining Diana in a fight ready stance. They both circled around, at first neither one willing to strike as each wanted to take on a defensive approach and not make a crucial mistake. All it would take was one overly aggressive misstep, and one of them would find themselves quickly behind by a pin fall. Batman's patience was almost as indomitable as his will, and from what little information he had realized, Diana's patience would only take her so far. Sure enough, she became tired of waiting and went in for a striking blow to Batman's body. He was able to quickly spin away while adding a roundhouse kick that connected with Diana's forearm. She was surprised with Batman's speed as she was barely able to block the counter strike. Soon though Batman took the initiative and began throwing punches and kicks. She was able to block them all, but Batman had anticipated this, and managed to work his way inside her defenses. He was too close for punches and kicks, so Batman switched fighting styles into the Keysi Method, relying on knees and elbows to inflict the damage. An elbow to the temple was dodged, but the knee to Diana's midsection was not. The blow very nearly knocked the wind out of her. She did manage to catch the second elbow that was again aimed at her head. Diana latched onto his arm, and pulled to contort Batman into a compromising position. She found herself to again be amazed. A mortal man this size shouldn't be as agile and flexible as Batman was. He was able to deftly move his body out of the potential submission hold that Diana was attempting to place him in. Not wasting any time, Batman quickly countered with a leg sweep. She wasn't expecting or ready for such a move, and quickly fell to the ground with a thud. Batman used his body weight to his advantage as he crashed down on top of her. It was a struggle, but eventually he was able to lock her arms up where she would have to use her super strength and break his bones in order to escape. Just like that she was down one to nothing.

Diana was extremely frustrated that she had been beaten and so quickly. If he had been an enemy, she would have snapped both his arms in two for even attempting such a maneuver to tie her arms up. Diana quickly stood up and charged after Batman. She was throwing any strikes that she could think of from her years of training, and none of them were even coming close to landing against her opponent. She felt herself being pulled over Batman's shoulder in a hip toss motion, but Diana aided it by jumping into the throw. This allowed her to increase the distance and roll back to her feet as soon as she hit the ground. She turned around quickly, only to find a foot mere inches away from her face as Batman was flying at her. The kick hit true on its intended target. Diana staggered backwards a few steps as her eyes were watering from the strike. Before she could see clearly, gauntlet covered hands latched onto her head and pulled her down into a knee. This dazed her enough that Batman was able to lock her in another hold while she was falling to the ground. And just like that she was down by two pin falls.

Diana slammed her fist to the floor in anger before it dawned on her why she had lost so quickly the second time. She had let her frustration from the first fall boil over into the second fall, which showed that she had become an easy target. Diana took a few deep breaths to calm herself before she stood to her feet, ready to go again. This time she paced herself, and watched his movements intently. There had to be a tell for when the man before her was going to strike. His body language spoke of a man that was completely calm. Batman then feinted a punch , which Diana deftly blocked. She was seeking any opening to exploit, and promised herself that she would remain disciplined against this man. She simply refused to let her sisters down by failing to defeat this man while utilizing the fighting technique that the Amazons had perfected over the years. Batman came in attempting to sweep her front leg, but Diana was ready for it as she stepped over the sweep attempt and towards Batman. From that distance, Diana head-butted Batman, which staggered him slightly. She decided to pounce on this opportunity as she took hold of one of Batman's wrists before turning his arm in a painful motion so that she could manage to push him to the ground from behind. When Batman had her behind him, he ran forward pulling Diana with him until he came up to a training room wall. Once there, he lifted his legs up and pressed against the wall with his feet hard. This movement knocked Diana off balance, and Batman helped her to fall by intentionally tangling his legs with hers. As he landed on top of her for the second time, Batman rolled to the side and got up slowly. He then reached out to Diana, and placed two fingers in a specific spot. This caused Diana's limbs to go numb, and she crumpled to the floor. Batman then walked over to a wall and slammed his shoulder into it before turning back to Diana. He had just reset his shoulder into its socket. He then walked back over and knelt down next to Diana as she was struggling to get up. "That's three, princess." Batman stated before hitting another pressure point on her. Diana quickly shot back up to her feet. She was furious that she had lost so decisively.

"Next time, we use powers and see how you fare Batman!" She almost yelled at him before storming off towards the medical area where Batman's tests were set to be run. He stood there for a moment just watching the red hot Amazon stomping away from him. More pieces to the puzzle he thought to himself before following after her with a smirk on his face.
