Diana seemed like a normal tall, beautiful woman, but she was struggling to fit in. Hiding the secret that she was a warrior princess from an island that was only populated by immortal ancient Greek warrior women.
She had been in the world of man for only a month and she still had so much to learn. For example, she cursed in Greek over the frustration of using everyday devices like a phone or television. She was lucky to befriend a woman whom she trusted with her secret and to teach her the modern lifestyle of man's world. She was banned from using the microwave out of Etta's fear that she would burn down the apartment until she completely understood technology.
Another problem was how much attention strangers gave her, mostly men. Etta just said they found her the most beautiful woman they had ever seen. Diana felt guilty, she wasn't an idiot, her mother always told her how lustful men were and the lies they would tell women just to sleep with them. She felt that the only reason she was accepted into the Historian Curator program was for the employers to get 'friendly' with her.
"Diana, you may be attractive but not every man is trying to get into your pants". Etta spoke in a cheery English accent.
"Why would men be interested in my pants?".
Then at her office in Historian Treasures, Diana was trying to work but the stress of the upcoming event distracted her. All office employees were invited to a launch party with Wayne Enterprises (A company that bought the entire business), and she would be organizing the venue. So much work to do!
She made sure to help with the shipment, the display, and the invitations. That last part was difficult for the Amazon as she had only been in man's world for a short period. Is this what people mean when they say I am living under a rock?
And suggesting that she should go into a strange area called…er…Goopul…Goodle…to 'research' all the guests who would be expected to attend, was less helpful.
Luckily, Etta was more than thrilled to commence the guest list. Leaving Diana more than enough time to help out with ingredients that the cooking team needed. And finally, the most important part, was the main objective of the art show to be moved as delicately as possible into the venue. Artifacts were not glass but still just as valuable.
That night, she (as the modern individual would say) clocked out with exhaustion. Etta decided that they should go out to 'unwind' a bit.
One of the many things that fascinated Diana about the world of man, was the various methods of time wasting. She had parties back on her island Themyscira, but no shining globes on ceilings with…interesting joyful music. She was a bit skeptical of how everyone was dancing and cheering, but then she realized that everyone was just having fun. So why not?
After a cocktail drink, she went onto the dance floor and started doing the traditional dance moves of her sisters. At first, it seemed harmless but drew the attention of everyone else in the club. But she didn't seem to care. At this point, she was aware that some of the things she did in Themyscira would raise eyebrows.
She danced so well and the other clubgoers started cheering on. Everything felt blurry after she went back to the bar table and ordered two more fancy adult beverages.
Bruce Wayne was walking across town after a visit to the graveyard. Not a day goes by that he pays respect to his parents. He was on a phone call with Alfred to wait for him at Ace Chemicals Laboratory.
An individual bumped into him. A woman took a step back and stared at the boy billionaire. Bruce was surprised to see it was a woman. Young, with curves, and in an off-shoulder blue shirt with black jeans and low square heels. "I apologize for my stumbling, good man. I shall clear out of your path", she spoke with formality. In a Greek accent, which he identified.
"You shouldn't drink so much", he lectured before walking past her. The woman groaned at that comment.
"How dare you! I can control myself with the amount of wine I consume".
Bruce paused then turned to face her. "So, you are just trying to be funny?"
"I was being sincere! I had the decency to acknowledge my mistakes and therefore admitted them. Men are frustratingly ungrateful!" She groaned in annoyance and then walked down the block.
Bruce walked to Ace Chemicals while trying to figure out the whole scenario that happened minutes ago. Finally making it to Ace Chemicals, he walked in to find the place still under reconstruction. Ever since it exploded by the Joker's ex-partner Harley Quinn. The whole city witnessed her announcing to the world that she left Joker in her "Maid of Mischief" way.
In an abandoned area such as this, investigating as the Dark Knight would seem more appropriate than entering as Bruce Wayne. And that was why he did this. The sight of the vigilante driving in the batmobile would not be wise. He went to the side and found the batmobile exactly where Alfred parked it remotely. Now he can get suited up.
Diana was watching the news from her apartment a couple of hours after arriving at the hotel. She stood up in shock as she saw a giant bat-like monster flying around Ace Chemicals. With no time to waste, she dressed in her Amazonian armor and took off. How lucky she felt to overcome the state of intoxication much quicker than the average human.
Running from building to building, she didn't notice two citizens gasping in shock below her.
One short distance flight was enough for her to kick the monster that seemed distracted. They crashed into the glass ceiling and straight to the laboratory. The monster screeched before swatting her to a wall. Standing up, the beast screeched.
"In the name of the Amazons, I shall end your villainy!" She declared, the bat monster tried to slash her with its claws but Wonder Woman shielded herself with her bracers. She punched it in the gut, pulled out her shield, and then whacked the side of its head.
She jumped onto the monster's gut and pulled out her sword to slay it, after that she heard a 'zip' sound and two boots landing on the ground. She turned around to find a man-like being in dark armor, a cape, and a mask that almost covered his entire face and pointy ears.
Both stared at each other in surprise.
Wonder Woman was trying to figure out if she was looking at a man or a dark creature similar to her mother's stories.
From Batman's perspective, when thought he had finally caught up with Man-Bat, only to find the creature already taken out by some woman in ancient gladiator armor. She turned around after hearing him, her hair twirled along, flowing flawlessly and revealing her full appearance. She seemed like some goddess, possibly an Ancient Greek deity. She seemed to be looking back at him the same way.
Wonder Woman took one step back as Batman stepped forward. "State your identity…bat?" She spoke as she looked at the bat symbol on his chest.
"State your name and motive", Batman demanded in a cold masculine tone. This was odd, men didn't act all intimating when they saw her in her civilian look or as an Amazon. They usually tried being nice or staring with their mouths wide open. His fierce glare seemed like he was upset.
"I am the Princess of the Amazons of Themyscira, I have come to the world of man as a savior".
An awkward silence with the Bat's eyes forming a confused look with humming in thought.
"By the darkness of Hades! You are the Bat that rules this city of villainy by fear".
She swiftly glided to him. As if she could fly with grace. She looked at him. "Are you a man or a mighty creature who possesses the body of one?" She asked as she reached out to touch the left side of his cowl. Batman grabbed her by the wrist before she could touch his mask.
"Do you have a death wish?" He scowled. Wonder Woman looked at the vigilante. She yanked her arm out of his grip.
"You do not scare me, rodent dresser. I have faced much more dangerous beings than you".
"I'll give you one warning. Get out of my city. If you kill anyone else, I will come for you".
"You dare threaten an Amazon?"
"I shouldn't be afraid of a princess. But I'm going to hand you over to Strykers".
Police sirens were coming from outside the laboratory. Wonder Woman looked at the red and blue flashing lights coming from outside. She turned back to find herself bound by metallic chains. She looked back at Batman who was starting to escort her to the police outside. She broke the cuffs with ease before knocking him down and pressing her foot on his chest to keep his back on the ground. "Gods! You will treat me as a criminal without hearing my reasons for my actions?"
She felt a sudden pain of electric shock all over her body. She backed away, but the shock only lasted momentarily as she took out a foreign object. 'He planted a bat-symbolic device on my thigh without me noticing'.
As the authorities were entering, they found no one but the lifeless Man-Bat.
