The Proposal
01. I Want...
Author: Batman_Wolverine (a.k.a. Bruce Logan)
Summary: Wonder Woman approaches Batman.
He was in the monitor womb when she crept up to him,
timing her visit perfectly. There wasn’t anyone
there to overhear what she had to say to him. No Kal,
no Wally and definitely no J’onn. The three of them
were on earth helping clear up the CADMUS debacle
and reporting to the President about the
decommissioning and dismantling of the watchtower’s
‘Rail Gun’ as it was termed in the newspapers.
He was here to take care of monitor duty. Of course,
he would be here. It was daytime and it was a public
mission. No way was the great Batman going to show
it half-exposed face in public. He didn’t even show
it to his teammates. More importantly, he did not
even show it to her. That was all going to change
today. She would make sure of it.
He had made it clear time and again that any sort of
romantic relationship wasn’t a possibility for the
Batman, especially not one within the team. He
always brought up the Shayera-John ‘lesson’. That’s
what he called it….a lesson. And with the inclusion
of Vixen, the couple had formed into a triangle.
Then there was the new addition, Carter Hall,
Hawkman. It only helped to strengthen his position
on that topic.
She had tried everything she could think off.
Everything her friends could think off. Hera, she
had even gone as far as to buy and read those ‘women
oriented’ magazines, the females of man’s world
seemed to prefer. She had even read those Dear Abby
sob-columns.
What had she achieved? What had happened?
All had been vain. Everything had failed.
The Batman always had a way out, the great escape
artist that he was, the thickheaded moron. Even
before the words left her mouth, he had an excuse
ready and presented before her. All in a nicely
wrapped black and grey wrapping paper; complete with
a ‘with regards from your unfriendly omniscient
omnipresent Batman’ bat-card stuck on it….The Jerk.
She had tried everything Wonder Woman would and
could do. She had even tried being Diana to his
Bruce. What did she get?
A completely fu….No she wouldn’t say that word. It
wasn’t becoming of a representative of Themiscyra to
use such language. But…..she wasn’t even that
anymore. She had been exiled from her island home.
She had been lucky to come out of that mission with
her Wonder Woman title still intact.
So….’Yes’ she took a deep breath. ‘….she got a
completely FUCKED UP, respected colleague clichéd
response.’
“If I cannot get him to accept me as Wonder Woman or
Diana, maybe he’ll accept me as one of the countless
nameless, faceless bodies he totes around in his
‘other life’,” she spat out, her tone bitter and
pained.
Why couldn’t he give himself, give her a chance…give
them a chance.
“He doesn’t want a romantic relationship, I won’t
ask and give him one.”
With that thought she walked up behind him and swung
hic chair around, even managing to surprise him by
her actions. Her next words only added to that
surprise…turning it into shock.
