"Welcome to Metropolis' grand reopening of the inner city park and garden!" The mayor said joyously. "We want to thank LexCorp and The Wayne Foundation for their very generous funding."

Bruce Wayne and Lex Luther stood side by side in front of the audience. Jimmy Olsen, from the Daily Planet took their picture as they shook hands.

"Now Superman, Wonder Woman, would you please do the honor of cutting the ribbon?"

Superman and Wonder Woman, two of the greatest heroes in the world, volunteered with the reconstruction of the park.

As Superman and Wonder Woman took hold of the giant scissors and cut the ribbon, the audience cheered and clapped.

The children all ran to the play sets.

"Superman? Superman?" Lois Lane, Daily Planet reporter called.

"Yes, Ms. Lane?" he acknowledged with a smile.

"This is absolutely incredible. What haven't you done for Metropolis?"

"Thank you, Ms. Lane but this was all Wonder Woman." Superman grabbed Wonder Woman's hand. "Wonder Woman?"

"Yes?"

"I was telling Ms. Lane that it was you who overseen this."

Wonder Woman smiled at him. "Oh, Superman, how modest of you."

"Well it's true."

For a quick moment they had forgotten where they were staring into each other's eyes.

Lois cleared her throat. Jimmy snickered.

"So Wonder Woman...what motivated you to oversee this project?"

"On my homeland, we embraced nature. Celebrated its beauty. As a child, seeing exotic animals and plants were fascinating. This land here holds so much potential for children to learn and have fun."

"So is it true that you have the power to talk to animals like Aquaman talks to fish?"

Wonder Woman paused for a moment then smiled. "Communicating with animals is a power we all have. Just as humans, animals have feelings too. They understand just as much and just as well as humans. This is a way for that to be acknowledged and continue to make a positive change for the environment all over the world."

There was a moment of silence.

"Any more questions, Ms. Lane?"

"No. Thank you."

"Well Wonder Woman and I must get going."

Superman and Wonder Woman flew off to the play sets with the children.

"Wow...she's amazing..." Jimmy gawked.

"Zip it, Olsen!" Lois said pushing his shoulder.

Superman and Wonder Woman waved at the children watching over them as they play.

"This is wonderful!" Wonder Woman beamed.

"You are wonderful."

Wonder Woman looked at him blushing.

"I was thinking...maybe tomorrow...you know since it's Saturday, would you like to visit the Fortress?"

"Really, Kal? You've talked about it and I've imagined it but that's-"

"It's fine, Diana. Don't take the name at face value."

"Then I would absolutely love to."

The next day: Saturday, Fortress of Solitude

Kal was pacing back and forth making sure everything was in perfect place.

Krypto, Kal's white furred direwolf hound, was sitting turning his head sideways confused.

"Ok...looks like everything is set." Kal glanced at Krypto. "I really need this to go smoothly."

Krypto turned his head again.

"I shouldn't be so nervous. But it's Diana. She makes me feel...I don't know what to call it but I've never felt this before, Krypto. It's silly. Isn't it?"

Krypto laid down flat and covered his eyes.

Kal frowned. "Pft...you're no help."

For him to act this anxious. Maybe he was just overthinking this...and possibly his feelings.

Then suddenly Kal heard a familiar heartbeat. He quickly flew to the giant doors of the Fortress and open them. He looked up and smiled.

"Wow..."

Diana was flying above him smiling. "Hey, Kal."

"Hey...you look stunning."

"Thank you."

She flew down closer to him. Kal just stared at her in awe. She wore a royal blue lightweight chiffon fabric maxi dress with a plunge front design. It was an ultra-sexy dress and he couldn't stop glancing down at her cleavage.

Diana bit her lip. "And you look very handsome, Kal. Seeing you dressed casually, I really like it."

"Thanks, Di..." Kal smiled boyishly and ran his hand through his hair.

Kal wore a beige Henley shirt and black jeans. He had such a well defined godly physique with such strong broad shoulders.

"Well let's not stand out here. Come on inside."

As they flew in Diana gasped.

"Oh by the Gods!" Diana was instantly amazed.

Kal laughed. "We haven't even made it to the first room yet."

"Rawf! Rawf!" Krypto barked as he ran toward Diana.

"Krypto, no! Stop!"

Krypto wasn't listening and as he flew passed Kal to Diana, he stopped abruptly right in front of her and bowed.

"Rawf!" He barked wagging his large fluffy tail then rolled on his back.

Diana laughed softly and kneeled down to rub his stomach.

"Your dog is quite the character."

"Yeah..." Kal quirked his brow annoyed and folded his arms.

"I am Diana. It is very nice to finally meet you."

Krypto wagged his tail faster with excitement.

"Alright...alright...Krypto, go eat a steak or something..."

Krypto whimpered rolling over then looked up at Diana giving her sad puppy dog eyes. She giggled again.

"Go, you big baby," Kal said a bit sternly.

Krypto huffed and flew off to where his food was stored.

"Oh Kal, you didn't have to be mean."

"He's alright and you would've been there all day. But honestly, he hasn't acted like that since..." he trailed off looking down.

"Kal?"

"He hasn't acted that way since Ma and Pa's passing. He used to love it when Ma would be sitting outside on the porch." He looked up at her and smiled. "Thanks, Di, for reminding me of that. I'm sure Krypto was reminded, too." He took her hand. "Come on. I have a lot to show you."

He first showed her the enormous statues of his Kryptonian parents, Jor-El and Lara.

"You look just like your father and your mother is beautiful."

"They were both scientists but my mother was also a general for the army."

"She was?!"

"Yeah." Kal smiled looking at her. "Come on, I have so much more to show you."

Kal took her room to room, from weaponry and trophies to the planetarium and data room. He told her the most extraordinary stories of everything.

"This is all so magical!"

Kal looked back watching Diana as she slid her fingers over the crystal wall. The light illuminated so beautifully off her sun kissed skin.

"I'm glad you liked it."

"I love it! The planetarium is amazing, Kal. With all these magnificent things here, have you thought about sharing them to the world?"

"I have but I've come to that conclusion a long time ago. Some of these things are very rare and needs to be protected. Some of it is also too dangerous."

Diana nodded. "I understand."

Kal moves closer to her and cupped her cheek with his right hand then took her left hand in his.

"Thank you, Di."

"For what?"

"For being the one person I can trust to share all of this with and being so understanding."

"You are the most honest man...person I've ever known. You have been more and you are more than a friend to me."

Kal leaned his forehead against hers. They both closed their eyes.

"Diana?"

"Yes?"

Their lips lightly touched one another's before their lips fully met. Diana felt her heart rate accelerate and her breath being taken away. Kal wrapped his arms around her waist and Diana wrapped her arms around his neck, closing the gap that separated them and deepened the kiss. It just felt so right.

They pulled back just a bit and smiled. Kal cupped her cheek tenderly.

"I want to share more than just the Fortress with you. We can take things slow but I want to be more with you. I've...fallen for you."

"I want to take things slow as well but I want this, too. I trust you with my heart."

Kal pulled her closer to him into a loving embrace. They held each other so tight, like they were inseparable.

"I...love you..." he whispered in her ear.

Diana hugged him tighter. "And I love you."

Pulling slightly away from the embrace, their lips touched as they shared another of many more passionate kisses to come.
