Author's Note: So here is the lastest chapter of this story. It was published on AO3 in June of last year if that tells you anything about how slow I am at updating. Enjoy!
Diana enjoys reading the news every morning but she never thought that she'd been in it. Especially not in a tabloid article.
Her and Bruce are downstairs in the hotel's restaurant eating some breakfast before they head out later to try and find the young man in the convenience store footage. Diana's got her laptop in front of her while Bruce is flipping through his smartphone.
"Who is Bruce Wayne's New Mystery Woman?" reads the title of the article. Under it are two blurry pictures from two different occasions of her and Bruce leaving the hotel.
Honestly Diana's not too surprised that this had happened. Bruce is a famous man and she knows that the press is probably not far away wherever they go. Sooner or later she knew someone would be talking.
She continues to read:
Seems like Bruce Wayne has a new lady in his life. The somewhat secretive Gotham billionaire was spotted leaving two different hotels with the same woman and some sources say that these aren't the only times the two have been seen together.
So who is this woman? Some say that she's Diana Prince, famous on the antiques dealing scene. Considering Wayne's many properties and offices, it probably not that hard to figure out how they've met.
Now the real question: will this relationship be a lasting one or will Ms. Prince just be added to an ever growing list of Wayne's conquests?
As Diana finishes, she looks over her laptop to watch Bruce's reaction as she's pretty sure he's reading it too when he frowns and his brow furrows in anger.
"Sorry about…this," he says when he's done reading it.
Diana just waves it away with her hand. "Do not worry. I am honestly a little surprised it didn't happen earlier."
"Still," says Bruce.
Diana can tell he's wondering if it's upset her. And while Diana doesn't like the fact that they're just labeling her off as some item to Bruce, she's been back in the world of man long enough to see that's just how things are for some reason. So she doesn't let it get to her.
"Bruce," begins Diana, "I do not care what these people have to say about me. It is like I told you before: You have never known a woman like me and neither have they. Their opinions do not matter."
She closes her laptop and takes the last bite of her muffin before standing up, ready to head back upstairs but not before she tells Bruce one more thing.
"Besides, I am no man's conquest. I am the conqueror."
She grins at him as she walks off and the look he gives her as she watches her says he knows she's absolutely right.
So like I said in the beginning I hope to start updating this story again this year. So watch for that. Anyway, as always reviews and constructive criticism are much appreciated! See y'all next chapter! ;D
