The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
Song fic: Inspired by Roberta Flack's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"
Lyrics: Italics
Kal and Diana's flashbacks: Bold Italics
Kal-El, last son of Krypton, also known as Superman, the greatest hero of the galaxy, and Clark Kent of Earth, former reporter, now freelance writer, proud husband and father, had been traveling for 2 weeks patrolling and helping around the galaxy as well as discovering more within other worlds, truly diving into his scientist roots.
Now back on Earth, he takes a moment to take a breather, listening to everything all around the world. There were places he needed to be, needing his help. He can do it all as he was making his way home.
He smiles to himself as he locks in on familiar voices and heartbeats that makes his own heart soar.
"I'm on my way..." he says as he flies off down to earth.
Outskirts of Metropolis: Prince-Kent Residence
"No, Nyx! No mean to Kypto," one and a half year old Astrea says patting Krypto as if to soothe him.
"I really hate that big snowball but you, little alien goddess, you are just too cute for your own good."
Nyx, Astrea's caracal kitten, gifted from Artemis, Goddess of the hunt. Once the High Goddess of the night but now cursed to live in the embodiment of a caracal and protector of young Astrea.
"Nyx..."
She wince hearing Diana's stern voice.
The irony that Nyx was feared by the all powerful King of the Gods, Zeus, but now, it was something about this daughter of his, Diana of Themyscira, that made Nyx a bit fearful of her.
Astrea flies up to Diana, embracing her mother.
"All done?"
Diana smiles and kiss the tip of her nose making her giggle. "Yes, little Love, all done with work for the day."
Diana of Themyscira, Princess of the Amazons, also known as Wonder Woman, the greatest heroine of the galaxy and Diana Prince, Ambassador, philanthropist, educator, proud wife and mother.
"Play..." Astrea says pointing at the piano in the corner of the living room.
"Ok, little Love. Mommy knows just the song."
As Diana sits down, she sits Astrea on top of the piano. Krypto moves to lay close to Diana's feet. Nyx stretched and jumps on top of the arm of the sofa and turns her back.
Diana begins to play and softly starts singing, hitting every note perfectly. She smiles, thinking back on the moment she met Kal.
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless skies
Center of Downtown Metropolis
Wonder Woman flew down to the chaos, striking parademons with her sword.
"You're strong."
"By the Gods.." she said to herself as she looked over to see this godly man, with the most charming smile and handsome ocean blue eyes.
Diana didn't know what had over came her so suddenly. Her heart wouldn't stop fluttering.
She smirked. "I know."
For just a moment, yet feeling as if it was an eternity, everything stopped as they looked at one another.
Kal grins as he heard his wife's angelic voice. He follows the flow of her melody as he flies across the skies.
Superman and Wonder Woman sat quietly on top of a skyscraper watching over the city.
They glanced at one another when they thought the other wasn't looking. Diana blushed and tried to hide her smile.
"When I was a kid, learning to fly a bit higher. I used to sit on top of the water tower and stare at the moon. I was determined one day that I could fly there and beyond."
Diana smiled. "I felt the same. The moon and the stars have always fascinated me. So peaceful. So beautiful."
Kal looked at her.
"What is it?"
"You're glowing..." he grinned.
Diana's face instantly heated, blushing. She swayed into him, bumping his shoulder with her own.
"You're such a flirt."
Kal chuckled and wrapped his arm around her as Diana laid her head on his shoulder.
Everything had just felt so right. No matter how complicated things became, they found a way to work through it all together. Every conversation, every smile, every embrace, it all meant so much and their relationship continued to build and grow stronger.
Themyscira Embassy
Knock. Knock.
"Come in," Diana said still looking down still writing.
"Delivery for, Madame Prince."
She abruptly stopped and looked up to see a man standing with a bouquet or exotic flowers covering his face. She raised her brow.
"Kal? What are you doing here?"
He placed the bouquet on her desk.
"Well, I've come to apologize and hope that I can make it up to you...Take you out to lunch?"
Diana stood up from her desk and walked over to him. She smiled reaching to straighten his tie.
"You're so sweet. You know I can't stay mad at you."
Kal smiled back and wrapped his arms around her pulling her into an embrace.
"Thank you, Superman. Always been such a kind young man," an elderly woman says as she watches him change her tire.
"Always here to help," he smiles. "It's lots of construction going on within this area. Be careful with loose nails that might be in the road."
She nods. "I will keep that in mind. Maybe find a different route."
Superman nods and places her car back on the road. "All fixed!"
"Thank you and best regards to you and your lovely family as well," she says and drove off.
Kal flies off, feeling closer to home as he continues to allow himself to fly in the speed and rhythm of Diana's voice. Because of her, he could see the world in a different light. So much brighter and calmer in his heart.
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move through my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love
WatchTower
"Come with me..." Superman said taking Wonder Woman's hand.
"Where are we going?" she asked.
"It's a surprise..."
She held his hand tighter as they stepped onto the Watch Tower teleporter.
Mount Roraima, Venezuela
"Oh...wow!" Diana beamed.
"There's lots more places like this for you too see. I know that time sometimes isn't always on our side but any opportunity to just a take a moment, you know?"
"Thank you, Kal. It's breathtaking. It's just what I needed." She smiled at him. "Why is it that you always do these things for me? Why is it that you...you just know the right thing to do?"
"I care about you, Di. You're my best friend and I'll do anything to see that beautiful smile of yours."
He shortened the distance between them and caressed her cheek, immediately covering her soft lips with his.
Diana's eyes went wide as she tensed for only a moment then relaxed closing her eyes. Kal relished in her sweet taste as he gently melded their mouths together. He placed his hand on the small of her back.
Diana pulled away from him for a split second, taking a short breath and smiled as she looked into his eyes again. He quickly kissed her once more, and it felt perfect.
Nyx looks back at Diana. As much as she tries not to listen, she can't help but to. Diana's voice so alluring and soothing. She turns her body around to face Diana and Astrea. Her tail slowly sways to the rhythm.
And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
Their hands explored each other's bodies. Skin felt so good in each other's hands.
"If you're feel uncomfortable, we can stop."
Diana smiled and stroked his cheek. She loved and adored how caring he was for her. She reached up capturing his lips in a kiss, assuring him she was ready to continue.
Their forms melded into each other as they sought the closeness and comfort that the other offered, that only the other offered. Their love making had been intense and passionate and gentle all at once. There are no words, only meaningful looks. They've never needed words anyway, not really.
Basking in the afterglow, Kal softly ran his hands down her arms and intertwined their hands. They had longed to be able to appreciate each other like this. They were so absorbed in the experience. It felt so natural and liberating.
And I knew that time would fill the air
At last, at last, at last
Till the end of time my love
"This is for real, Di." He gently wiped her tears.
Diana put her hand over Kal's and nodded.
"Our baby…" her voice trailed off.
She looked down and moved their hands down to her stomach. She took a deep breath looking back up at him, she saw all the excitement in his eyes.
The first time ever I saw your face
Your face
Astrea teleports to sit in Diana's lap wanting to play the piano. Diana guides her tiny fingers on the keys.
Astrea looks up at her mother with a wide grin and Diana leans down to gently kiss her forehead.
"Together."
"Together."
"We are each other's shelter from the storm," they said in unison.
"Under the law of Themyscira, I am honored to pronounce you, husband and wife."
Your face
"Congratulations Diana, Kal, you have a beautiful baby girl."
"Astrea," they smiled in unison.
Your face
As she sings the last note and Astrea presses the last piano key, Diana looks up to see her handsome husband leaning against the door. He flashes his irresistible charming smile. The smile she fell in love with, the moment they first met.
