Bruce enjoyed working in the lab and inventing things with Tony, but inside he felt like he needed to do something more.  It was extremely important to him to use the things he’d learned to benefit others.  Any time, even the briefest moment, that reminded him there was more to him than just the monster was invaluable to him.

Since his return all he really wanted to do was stay inside and hide from the world, but he knew while that was helpful in the short term it was very detrimental in terms of his long term view of himself.  When he saw that an embassy was starting up a shelter he thought it would be a good place for him to put a toe back into the world.

He didn’t exactly look like a doctor as he made his way to the embassy.  The hoodie, loose pants, battered shoes, and shabby messenger bag was all about making sure nobody gave him a second glance on the way to the embassy.  Once inside he looked around to find someone that seemed like they were staff.

“Excuse me, miss,” he said to a young woman that looked like she might be able to help him.  “I was interested in volunteering to help with the shelter and I was wondering if you would know who I might talk with about that.”  He hoped that his thin frame and the fact he was perpetually underweight would overcome the fact he was a man.  In this type of place his gender could cause issues as most of the woman were fleeing abusive men.  It was an extremely dangerous time for them, Bruce knew more about that than he really wanted to.  He couldn’t help his mom, but maybe he could help one of the women here.

FINAL TOUCHES ON A NEW BUILDING ARE MUCH LIKE THE BUILD - UP TO A BOAT’S MAIDEN VOYAGE ;     Diana finds herself wandering the halls every single day with an almost elemental sensitivity to new developments. Which is why she is drawn down to the lobby only to overhear an unfamiliar voice.

Turning, Diana spots the man in conversation with one of the aides. 

❝     You can talk to me.     ❞     An easy smile ; no one is treated with suspicion, here, regardless of gender. The aide nods and steps away, attending to a delivery of about a million cases of La Croix     (     Lime flavour, naturally, thanks to Steve Rogers’ helpful input     )     .     ❝     I’m Diana. What can I call you     ?     ❞

She holds out her hand, working on a quick appraisal of the man stood before her. Kind eyes, an earnest disposition     ——     and a very deep well of reservation.

❝    Why don’t you tell me how you’d like to help, and we can go from there.     ❞

[ Text: D. Prince ]: Excuse me ? 

Steve Rogers, on the run for months now, did not have his memes down anymore. 

[ Text: D. Prince ]: The UN’s not much good at seeing reason but i’ll hope right there with you.  [ Text: D. Prince ]: What exactly are you hoping to achieve ?

[     TEXT : S. ROGERS     ]     We have WiFi at the embassy, you know. [     TEXT : S. ROGERS     ]     Maybe we can work on your pop culture knowledge while we’re at it.

She rarely, rarely defaults to humour when a solemn question has been posed, but Diana is feeling generous.

[     TEXT : S. ROGERS     ]       Authoritarianism has never been Mankind’s way. Every myth and legend, every piece of human history reinforces that this world has come to exist in spite of being told what to do time and time again     ——     not because of it.

I believe in you!” “You… not so much.” “__, have you heard the news?” “You’re actually here.” “You don’t belong here. Not after what you did.” “You’re seriously going to do this today?” “Way to dress for the occasion, by the way.” “At least I’m wearing black.” “What’s the secret, huh? Protein shakes? Low carbs?” “There is no mystery here. Nothing to avenge, nothing to solve.” “You wanna know something stupid?” “You can save the lecture, I was already leaving.” “You know, after all these years, I find it strangely comforting.” “Do you think he wears that thing in the bathroom?” “I wasn’t sure you’d come.” “Of course you don’t know, you’ve been gone.” “I made a wish, and it came true, and I couldn’t take it back.” “Will there be refreshments? Tea? Scones?” “Cucumber sandwiches are always a winner.” “Is that my skirt?” “Listen up. Still some important things that we need to discuss, alright?” “And here we go.” “I’m just saying, at the very least, something happened.” “Oh, quelle surprise!” “I’m not in the right frame of mind!” “You’re high?” “Isn’t it obvious, __?” “How could you think that?” “Now you’ve put me in a position where I gotta do something I don’t want to do.” “Guns are for sissies! Real men throw knives!” “Hey, be careful up there, buddy.” “Do we really have to do this?” “I didn’t sign up for this.” “Can we go home now?” “I’m afraid there’s just nothing special about you.” “Our world is changing.” “Eternal peace is probably overrated.” “You always were a stubborn bastard!” “I don’t know about you, but I need a drink.” “What is that gonna do?!” “I don’t know! Do you have a better idea?” “So, are we gonna talk about what just happened?” “That makes no sense.” “It would, if you were smarter.” “Wait, how does that even work?”  “How’d you know about that?” “Nice to see nothing’s changed.” “What else is there to say? The circle of life.” “I thought it was pretty good, all things considered.” “Oh, there are worse things that could happen.” “Did something happen?” “Probably would have been better with some wind.” “You should stop talking now.” “You know, you of all people should be on my side here, _.” “I am warning you.” “We don’t have time for this.” “You never know when to stop, do you?” “I bet you’re loving this.” “The team at its best.” “It’s just like old times.” “Don’t waste your time.” “This is your home, and always will be.” “Yeah, well, that’s kind of the problem, isn’t it?” “Take care of yourself.” “I know how to do everything.” “I feel like we should try and stop _, but then again, I also just kinda wanna see what happens.” “Oh, fabulous. I’ll get my things.” “Don’t remember this place being such a shithole.” “Simpler times, huh?” “You must know your way around the city.” “Hmm. That was fast.” “So let’s all be professional about this, yeah?” “I’ve got nothing to say.” “It doesn’t have to go this way.” “Well, I wouldn’t worry about that.” “I hate to rush you through any brooding moment you might be having, but — ” “Ah, __, nice of you to join us.” “What, breaking bones and cracking skulls?” “Saving lives, baby.” “You are so weird.” “Is that blood?” “It’s nothing.” “Why are you here?” “I’ve decided you’re the only one I can trust.” “ — And I have no idea how to stop it.” “I’ll put on a pot of coffee.”

Hands land at his chest, wounded by blade sharp witticism once more. But it was never meant to last, hurt expression morphing into raised brows and a stiff lip.

“ Sea Monster, ” he repeats, any hint of tease disappearing with the revelation. “ I have a couple of ideas but no definitive explanation for you at this time. Are we talking megalodon or humanoid ? ” Not that he anticipated either to make it ashore. Despite what reached conspiracy boards unprompted : the real uglies laying dormant in the marina trench rarely, if ever, crawled out unless prompted.

❝     A SERPENT.     The kind I used to read about as a child.     ❞     In case anyone’s keeping score at home, Diana was a child roughly three thousand years ago. If she’s talking about mythical beasts, she isn’t being rhetorical.     ❝     ——     It sounded possessed.     ❞

Empathy was among one of Diana’s gifts from the Gods so many centuries ago, and it transcends all barriers.

“Ok, yeah but - like, you guys like it…right?” He hadn’t been briefed yet about the League members’ histories or other information, so Wonder Woman’s statements struck him as odd, and he could only think of one reason for them. “And yeah? I guess…I mean, Kal and the Star Labs people are saying they’re like 98% sure there’s no programming in my brain? So…” He shrugged awkwardly.

Kon looked at the unconcious creature and grimmaced, scratching at his head in contemplation. “Well, I’m no detective, but maybe we could ask Re - Batman?” Yeah, Batman would be the one Wonder Woman’s more familiar with.

❝     I’M NOT SAYING IT ISN’T A WORTHY ENDEAVOUR.     ❞     Diana claps him on the shoulder, giving it a brief squeeze.     ❝     We don’t know one another very well, Kon, but there’s always time to learn. The pursuit of Truth is my right  and my creed as Amazon Champion.     ❞     Among other things.     ❝     ——     I trust that you’re on our side.     ❞

 The creature give a long and sudden huff that can only be described as a snore.

❝     . . .     I see.     ❞

[     TEXT : JAMES     ]     Brooklyn. [     TEXT : JAMES     ]     Only a stone’s throw away, now.  

A stone’s throw. Imagine Diana’s surprise when she steps out of the half - constructed embassy only to be confronted by Giganta on a rampage.

[     TEXT : JAMES     ]     If you’re home, look north.

He’ll just be able to see the top of Giganta’s head      ——     if not, then definitely the smoke billowing from where she has torn the 42nd St - Bryant Park subway station clean in half, and is making her way toward Grand Central.

[     TEXT : JAMES     ]     Would you care to join me     ?

Clearly the most important question at hand.

“Well…yeah. I mean, it’s you and Kal did ri -” He cuts himself short when he sees the gesture requesting for quiet. Normally, Kon hated being told what to do, no matter for what reason, but he’s been learning to make exceptions. And Wonder Woman, well, if he should make an exception for anyone.

Kon waited for her to finish securing her bonds before speaking again. “Hmm…looks like an escaped science experiment if you ask me,” Kon shrugged. “But I dunno. How would we go about finding that out?”

❝     WE FOUNDED THE LEAGUE, KON.      At a time when there was no other option.      ❞     And she ruminates on that decision every single day, not torn, per se, but curious about even her own convictions. After all, the pursuit of absolute Truth must start from within.     ❝     I just want to make sure your hopes and dreams are you own. No one deserves any less.     ❞

Diana was made, too. She gets it.

❝     I don’t suppose we could ask it.     ❞     A wry smile as she cocks a hand against her hip, studying the unconscious creature.

“Whahooo!” Kon hoots and he fist pumped triumphantly into the air. “Now that’s what I call a knockout!” He landed next to the creature with a less than graceful thud and nudged one of it’s tentacles with the toe of his boot. It remained motionless.

Getting praise from Wonder Woman was certainly validating, to say the least, and Kon beamed back brightly. “You really think so? Think I can hang with the League some day? Cause that would be awesome!”

❝     IS THAT YOUR GOAL     ?     To join the League     ?     ❞     Diana’s mouth twitches as she takes her Lasso in hand and makes the one moment gesture with a finger.

Quickly, the creature is tightly wound with careful attention paid to each one of its numerous tentacles. She finishes off by tying the glowing rope into a neat bow.

❝     . . .     I do wonder where this beast came from.     ❞

DEPUTY DIRECTOR HILL ARRIVES FRESH           from the tarmac, her hair mussed during its brief exposure to the elements outside a private hangar at Charles de Gaulle, her face feeling extremely dry and her patience worn extremely THIN by the last-minute nature of the trip. 

She’s been briefed on the way in, read all the pertinent documents on the flight over after hitting altitude and switching the Quinjet into autopilot, so when she enters the small, windowless room she SHOULD feel more prepared than she does when she meets the other woman’s eyes. Maria inhales slowly, her mouth thinning as she looks down at the tablet in her hand, referencing a file that she knows she does not need. 

❛ Ms. Prince. I’m Maria Hill, Deputy Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. ❜ Maria offers a hand before sliding into the only other vacant seat in the room. ❛ Should I assume that you already know why I’m here? ❜

❝     MARIA HILL,     please     ——     just Diana.     ❞     She takes the proffered hand, standing to shake it.     ❝     I’m sure you know by now that Diana Prince hardly exists.     ❞    

And yet, here they are.

With the two of them seated once again, Diana places both palms onto the table as if to demonstrate benevolence.     (     Whatever the files say, the extent of Wonder Woman’s abilities are bound to be a big, fat question mark.     ——     Luthor’s influence be damned.     )

❝     To ascertain whether or not I’m a threat to the world     ?     ❞
