A Halloween Surprise

Metropolis Park, Midnight

Diana Prince sighed lovingly as she latched on tighter to her boyfriend, Clark Kent's, arm.

"This is so nice, Love. Midnight stroll in the park. It's so relaxing after work and stopping bad guys. Like something from a classic romantic movie."

"Yeah it is. Clear, starry skies with a full moon. Nice breeze." Clark then stopped walking abruptly.

"What is it?"

He smiled and pulled Diana into a passionate kiss. Diana was surprised but then smiled against his lips wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Mmmh...What was that for?"

"Just couldn't resist kissing my gorgeous goddess."

"Such a romantic."

They suddenly heard rustling from a nearby bush.

"What's that?"

"Probably just a squirrel," Clark said as he pulled her back into another kiss.

There was more rustling in the bush until a small cold black furred long eared bushy tailed creature hopped out and stared up at the two lovers.

Pulling away from their kiss, Diana smiled. She then glanced to the side noticing the creature from her peripheral. Double taking, she smiled wider.

"Aw! How adorable. Kal, it's a bunny rabbit."

Clark chuckled. "Diana?"

She walked over and kneeled down to the bunny.

"Where is your family, little one? Are you alone?"

Clark scanned the area. "Must have came along way. I don't see anymore."

Suddenly there was a small roar of thunder and a flash of lightening. The winds picked up.

"Hmm? That's odd."

Diana picked up the small rabbit and smiled.

"Oh, Love, we can't leave it out here."

"You really want to bring a wild rabbit home?"

"It's too open out here. No where close for it to stay warm and dry."

The winds picked up more and started drizzling with a light shower of rain. She gave him a look she knew he couldn't resist.

"Ok...ok. Come on, Di, before it starts raining harder."

He took off his jacket and handed it to Diana for her to wrap the bunny in.

Diana wrapped him up and smiled leaning over kissing Clark's cheek.

"You are the sweetest."

Clark and Diana flew home just in time before it started pouring rain harder.

When they got in, Clark helped Diana take off her coat.

"Thank you, love."

Diana then kneeled down unwrapping the bunny from Clark's jacket.

"Come on, it's nice and warm here."

The bunny hopped out of Diana's arms.

"We should have an old sheet and pillow for the little guy. Make him a pallet."

"In our room, please."

Clark smiled. "Ok."

"Are you hungry, little one?"

Diana went to the kitchen with the bunny following behind.

The bunny watched Diana, titling it's head as she moved around the kitchen, from the sink, the drawer, cabinet then to the refrigerator.

"Honey, do we have any carrots?" Diana called out to Clark.

"Uh, yeah...um...middle drawer behind the celery. It's a bag of baby carrots."

Diana smiled when she saw them. "Got them. Thank you." Diana took out one and kneeled down. "Here you go."

The bunny moved closer and sniffed the carrot but backed away.

Diana frowned. "Oh you don't want it? Hmm...what would you like?"

The bunny hopped back into the living room and hopped on top of the couch arm where Clark's jacket was.

Diana smiled. "Aw! You're sleepy. Well, Kal is making you a pallet let's see if he is done."

Diana picked up the bunny and walked into their bedroom.

"All done. How's this?"

The bunny hopped out of Diana's arms and to the pallet, snuggling under the sheet.

"Well that answers that."

"Thank you again, Love. I know this is a bit odd but I don't know... I just felt it needed a home. Shouldn't be out there in the cold and rain. Even worse, prey to a bigger animal."

Clark wrapped his arms around Diana and kissed her softly.

"I know. I know. That's why I love you. My beautiful sweet, generous goddess. You don't have to thank me."

Diana wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him into another kiss.

Clark cupped her rear and lifted her up. Diana instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist.

"Nice hot shower. I get to bathe you."

"Mmmh...ooh yes. I've been looking forward to that all day!"

Clark grinned deviously flying into the bathroom.

As the lovers were occupied with their shower rendezvous, their new little friend hopped from its pallet to the balcony door and stood where a slither of moonlight shined through.

Hearing the couple getting out the shower, he scurried back to the pallet and curled under the sheet.

"Darling, I can't express enough how much I love moments like that."

Clark smiled as he dried Diana off and wrapped the towel around her. "I know, Beautiful, and all I want is to spend our down time taking care of you."

"You are so sweet." Diana wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him softly.

Before getting into bed, Diana checked on the little bunny.

"So precious. This is so much better than being out there."

"Yeah. Little buddy is cute all wrapped up like that." Clark swooped Diana up in his arms. "Do you know how much I love you, though? How much I love your fierce yet gentle spirit?"

Diana giggled. "Keep sweet talking, Mr. Kent."

"I mean it."

"I know..." Diana kissed him and smiled against his lips. "That's why I love you." She kissed him again deepening the kiss as Clark laid her on the bed.

Clark laid next to her pulling the covers over them and wrapped her in his arms, planting a soft kiss on her forehead and lips

"Goodnight, my Love."

"Good night, Di."

Next Morning...

Clark and Diana got up starting their usual morning routine.

Afterwards, while Clark went to the kitchen to start breakfast, Diana checked on her little adorable new friend.

"Still sleep?" She pulled back the sheet but to her surprise, the little bunny was not there. "Kal? Is our little rabbit in there with you?"

"Uh...no."

"He isn't here."

"What?" Clark scanned the living room. "Not in here either." He went back to their bedroom. "Our other room doors were closed, couldn't have gotten in there."

"Not in the bathroom nor the closet."

Clark bent down and raised the bed skirt.

"Found him. Come on, little guy. It's ok."

The rabbit suddenly started hissing, eyes changing to red, showing its fangs as it moves back further seemingly to get away from Clark.

"What the hell?!" Clark said jumping back.

"What?!"

"That's not a regular rabbit, Diana."

"What do you mean?" Diana asked as she kneeled down with him and looked under the bed herself. "It's part demon? A vampire bunny?" Diana smiled. "How cute!"

Clark quirked his brow. "Cute? Diana, we brought a vampire rabbit home! How is that cute?!"

"Beloved, you have creatures from other planets in the Fortress. What's the difference?"

"Touché."

Diana smirked. "I think it's the sunlight he is afraid of. Please make sure all the blinds and curtains are closed."

Clark nodded and quickly closed their bedroom curtains, making sure every window in the house was closed and covered.

"Alright. Done."

"Come on out, little one. It's okay. We won't hurt you nor let you get hurt. Come on," Diana smiled slowly luring the rabbit out from under the bed.

Once he realized there was no sunlight, he jumped and cuddled into Diana's arms as a way of thanking her.

"He is happy and feels safe again."

"Yeah...now he is back cute again."

As Clark reaches to pet him, he hissed.

"Woah! What did I do?!" He questioned.

"Now...now...Clark won't hurt you."

"He seems to want to hurt me."

Diana giggled. "Don't be silly, Kal."

Clark chuckled about to kiss Diana's cheek, though again, the rabbit hissed.

Clark pulled back shocked. "No way. She's my girlfriend!"

Diana laughed as Clark kissed her cheek.

"I have a taste for one of my Love's delicious omelets..."

"Coming right up!" Clark grinned.

Clark and Diana went to the kitchen.

"Are you hungry now, little one? Want to try the carrot again?"

"Probably doesn't eat carrots, Di."

Diana raised her brow.

"I'm just saying..." Clark raised his hands in defense and chuckled.

"We can try first." Diana set the carrot down on the floor in front of him. "Go on. Show the Spaceman you aren't the demon he thinks."

The rabbit slowly moved forward and sniffed the carrot. He then picked it up, sunk its fangs into it and sucked all the juice out of it.

"Want more?" Diana asked.

She gave another carrot and then tried to give a celery stock.

The rabbit did it again, sucking the juice out of the carrot and celery.

"So instead of blood, vegetable juice. Alright then..." Clark got a bowl and put all kinds of different vegetables they had in it. "How's this?"

The bunny happily jumped into the bowl.

Diana laughed. "Perfect, Love."

"So he'll happily eat my food but still don't like me?"

"Maybe the way to his little bunny heart is the food." Diana pondered for a moment. "What do we call him? How about Bram?"

"Give him a name? Di, we are supposed to be finding his home later. And Bram? You mean after the author of Dracula?"

"Yes. We can still give him a name and it's even more dangerous out knowing what he really is."

"Di, you can't be seriously thinking to keep him here as a pet?"

"Well..."

"We will have to have the curtains closed every single day. Why don't we contact Zatanna and Constantine or Raven?"

"We can do that but we also still need to find somewhere else for him to go to be safe."

Clark nodded and smiled. "I just can't say no when it comes to you."

Diana laughed walking over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Not only can you not resist me but you know it's the right thing. That's why I love you." She kissed him softly.

Clark wrapped his arms around her pulling her closer, deepening the kiss.

"Oh...uhh..excuse me..."

With their eyes wide, they broke their kiss.

"Hermes!"

"Apologies for the...interruption. But this is quite an emergency."

"What's going on?"

"Strife and Achlys."

"Oh no..."

"What's wrong? Do you need me to come with you?"

"No, Love, I can handle it. Just watch over, Bram."

"Seriously? You can't take your vampire bunny with you?"

They both looked at him now asleep again in the vegetable bowl.

"Is that a demonized rabbit?" Hermes asked.

"Yeah, it is."

Diana giggled. "You'll be fine, Kal, and I should be back in a couple of hours."

"Alright." Clark captured her lips. "Kick as much ass as necessary."

"If necessary. But you know I will."

Diana hurried to get her lasso twirling it around her changing into her uniform.

Clark grinned proudly. Seeing his beautiful goddess so fierce. Every time he sees her in her uniform he is mesmerized like the very first time.

Diana hugged Clark and kissed him once more.

"Nice hot bath and full body massage when you get home."

"Oohh, looking forward to that. Be good, my Love."

"Of course."

2 hours later

Bram woke up and realized he was still in the bowl.

He jumped out and looked around. He didn't sense Diana. He jumped off the counter and a few feet before he landed to the floor, his long rabbit ears turned to bat wings.

He sees Clark at his desk on his computer. Curious, Bram slowly flew over to him. He tilted his head then turned all the way upside down flying closer to him.

"So you fly too?" Clark asked rhetorically turning to look at Bram.

Bram flew in front of Clark and sat on his desk.

"Diana left but she'll be back soon."

Bran tilted his head just staring at Clark.

"Want more food?"

Bram then jumped to Clark's shoulder, balling himself up to lay comfortably. Clark was a bit hesitant but reached up to gently pet him.

"So we're cool now?"

Bram cuddled more.

Clark smiled. "Cool. Diana was right...as always."

Later that evening...

Diana walked in and sighed relieved to finally be back home. She heard the living room TV with what seemed like an old horror film. Walking into the living room, she stopped abruptly and gasped. Dried up vegetables were all over the coffee table and floor. Sitting the middle of the coffee table was Bram with his eyes glued to the TV.

"Hey, Beautiful. Glad your home," Clark said in her ear as he wrapped his arms around her from behind.

"Unlike Strife and Achlys, you and Bram made peace?"

"You were right. The way to the bunny's heart was endless bowls of vegetables, petting and laying on my shoulder for a nap."

Diana giggled. "How adorable. And now he is watching...?"

"Dracula. Watching horror films is the way to a demon bunny's heart, too. I found a channel with nothing but horror films so he's been occupied for quite a while and still will be for us to have our time."

"Fitting...very fitting," Diana smiled. "So we can keep him, though?"

"I'll make him a special room in the Fortress soon..."

Diana gasped and turned in his arms wrapping her arms around his neck embracing him.

"Oh, thank you, Love!"

"Anything for you, Di. No matter how outrageous it is like having a pet vampire bunny."

Diana laughed. "Really, Kal?"

"Really. That's how much I love you," he said proudly as he captured her lips in a passionate kiss.
