GOTHAM CITY

"Good afternoon, Verena," Diana's calm, clear voice greeted me as I approached her.
I took off my dark sunglasses and sat down directly in front of the Amazon. "Hi there, Diana," I smiled at the tall, beautiful woman. "Bruce is busy with some work and Dick is out with Wally right now," I informed.
"That's fine," Diana shook her head. "I wanted to have lunch with just you anyway."
I smiled softly. Diana was a serious, by-the-book woman, but I knew she was just as soft as any other woman there was. Of course, that didn't mean that she could be taken advantage of, no.
I waved over a waiter, and had to snap him out of his daze at seeing Diana up close. Yeah, she did that to men. I gave him my order of finger sandwiches and a glass of orange juice, while Diana asked for some soup and a glass of sparkling water.
"What brings you all the way here to Gotham City?" I inquired. After finding out about the Watchtower, I found out that she lived in it, but did own an apartment in Manhattan. So she wasn't lying when I visited her a few months ago.
"I can't see my favorite pre-teen superhero?" Diana gave me a soft smile.
"I'm the only pre-teen superhero," I rolled my eyes. "And you don't play favorites, Diana."
"You don't know that for sure," she responded calmly. Ah, that was true.
I shrugged it off and reached for my drink that the waiter had placed down silently just then. We were speaking in low tones, so there wasn't worry for eavesdropping. If anything, Diana would've noticed with her heightened senses.
"With some sharpening of your skills, you could be trained to become an Amazon," Diana spoke, and I almost choked.
I sputtered a bit before wiping my mouth free of the sticky juice. "Me? An Amazon?" I repeated. I shook my head. "No thanks. I'm pretty fine with being just me."
"You could be granted powers from the Gods," Diana proposed.
Tempting… "No thanks," I shook my head. "I can't really imagine me with super strength or flight…"
Diana gave me a knowing smile before saying, "I see that the men you live around has not plagued you."
I blinked, confused. "Why would Alfred, Bruce, and Dick plague me?" Then I remembered that this was Diana, an Amazon. Their sworn enemy was the male population. "Oh. No." I shook my head. "They're great."
"Verena," Diana began, just as the waiter came with our food. She waited patiently for him to finish placing all the food on the table before leaving.
"Yeah?" I asked, cocking my head to the side. I popped a finger sandwich in my mouth and chewed.
"How would you like to visit Themyscira someday?"
Crap. I choked again.
A/N: Well, well, well... Verena has the potential to become an Amazon, isn't that interesting? :) Remember to review/request! :o
