What I do is not up to you

Diana Prince. Wonder Woman. Justice League.

“Sure, you’re sparing my feelings by giving up.” He was glad to leave the car behind; his muscles were screaming to let it go. Arthur followed Diana, making sure to flex before meeting her arm. “I just want you to know, no matter what - we’ll stay friends.” Arthur took her hand, grounding himself in a comfortable position before he began attempting to push her arm down. Diana was strong - very strong.

“I wouldn’t consider it giving up, more as sparing your body from immense pain,” she informed him with a grin. “Are you trying to comfort me.. or yourself?”There was no doubt in her mind about it, she knew she was stronger than Arthur, as she had been stronger than most people she had met. Yet, when she tried to push down his arm, it was met with great force. Maybe she had met her match. Tightening her grip, she leaned forward before pushing more strength into  this even more. “I know men don’t like to lose from women, but it’s okay to lose, Arthur.” She was in this now for the win and she hoped that Arthur’s little performance just moment ago would help with that.

“Definitively should be looked into then. Ugh, is that the pixelated game thing? So stupid. With the limited technology humans have you’d think they’d do something useful with it.” Shayera muttered, finding the ‘video games’ of earth so weird.

“It should go in a routine. Everyone gets his or her chance to throw a beverage in Bruce Wayne’s face. Ahh, should like the perfect relaxation method. Besides he can’t get any more grumpy and than he already is, so what harm can it do?”

“I suppose we should leave the detecting to the detective, if only to spare his ego,” she told her with a smile. Between the two of them they could get far in gathering intel, but she didn’t want to take Bruce’s main job away from him. “In the contrary, I find it quite extensive, but I’m not nearly as used to it as you are.”

“You should all draw straws to determine who goes next. Getting thrown more than one drink into his face during one night would probably cause suspicion. If anything, his suits would go to waste, not that he actually wears them unless he’s forced to.”

“Criminals.” Rick muttered, as if to correct her, but hadn’t that always been the more appropriate term to use? As much as the Colonel tried to see eye to eye with his crooked group all had fallen apart as he’d predicted from the start. They did run and Richard wouldn’t be the fool who begged for them to come back. None of the criminals ever cared for his own well being after all–unless it was tied to their own survival. “We all have our priorities. Mine is to save the world and leave the wild goose chase to vigilantes and cops. They did a fine job collecting the punks last time.” Enchantress would cause a hundred times the damage than the lot could dream of inducing–even in a group.

At the man’s words Diana furrowed her brows as she thought things over, crossing her arms after putting the newspaper back in the stand. “As I was told you’re the man responsible for keeping them in check, make sure they don’t run off or misbehave. Meanwhile the heroes were called off when engaging with your crew. I’m not sure when the tables turned on that front, but it seems lazy to me. After all, you have gotten to know them better than any of them have. A shepherd would know where his sheep ran off to, I suppose you should, too. Maybe you should see the vigilantes and cops as your guiding dogs rather than your replacements.”

[theman-fromdownunder-blog]

“Not bad, not bad.” Diana’s show of strength was quite impressive, but Arthur would keep that information to himself. “Now you won’t feel so bad when you lose.” Cock as ever, Arthur bent down to pick up the truck again. He’d have to beat her, but he wasn’t sure how. “Here.” He said, grunting as the car was lifted off the ground again. Half stumbling, half walking, Arthur managed to take a couple steps while lifting the car. Dropping it to the ground with a thud, he turned with a grin on his face. “Beat that.”

[wcnderprince-blog]

“Trust me, I won’t,” she informed him as she watched him go for another round, having to stop herself from grinning when he stumbled around. “You want me to beat your drunken man’s stumble? I think I’ll spare your ego.” Winning wasn’t important to her, especially not when it seemed that it was far more important to him. Although having to call him ‘your royal highness’ didn’t sound that appealing. “How about we go back to the basics?” she asked as she turned around to find a smaller car, propping her arm up on the hood as to invite him for a good old arm wrestling match,

What do you mean “incorrect?”

“Pah!” He let out a hybrid snort and scoff, crossing his arms dramatically. Despite his efforts to look annoyed, a smile played at the corner of Arthur’s lips. He definitely, definitely needed to win this. “Easy enough.” Cracking his fingers, he squatted down so he could grip the bottom of the hood. With a light, grunt, he slowly lifted the car off the ground. “Ha!” Arthur shouted, raising and lowering the car a couple times for good measure. Setting it back on the ground, he placed his hands on his hips. “Beat that.”

[wcnderprince-blog]

“We’ll have to see about that,” she mused, more amused at this than she should be. “Careful now, that vein on your forehead is looking awfully close to popping.” The joke matched Arthur’s showing off, although she couldn’t lie, she was impressed. At his comment she let out a huff before approaching the vehicle and bending down to grab a hold of the front. “Oh my..” she let out, turning her head to look at him. “It’s quite heavy..” With a grin she turned her attention back to the truck as she continued to lift the front of it, sliding underneath the truckfront, squatting before she lifted it as a whole. Due to it’s weight it took a few seconds before her arms were all stretched out, but she made sure to keep smiling through all it of. After she had carefully set the vehicle back down again she dusted off her hands before she spoke. “Would you like to give it another go?”

“I think we’ll all preach to that!” With a small chuckle, Kara nodded in response to her statement, smiling at how the other woman mentioning how she helped around here and there. “Well, I definitely think you’re doing us all a huge FAVOR taking care of this city, it needs it. Even I know how hard that can be–not that I know anyone in particular, but I would just think how DEDICATED you would have to be, right?” 

[wcnderprince-blog]

“I’m not so sure whether this city wants to be taken care of--” she cut herself off when the other spoke of knowing how hard it could be, which got a suspicious tilt of her head from Diana. “Well, if you want to come along with me some day, you’re more than welcome to.”

[capedkryptonian-blog]

“Thank you! I could now say the same about you,” Kara had shown a great deal of positivism to others, and she could say that she–herself, was a positive person ( most of the time, anyway. )! She grinned at the woman, nodding in agreement but chuckling at her words. “Giving back to the world is always great, especially when it’ll mean something to others one day. I can only hope she’ll be doing the good work she does and everyone will slowly follow in her footsteps. I would happen to guess you also love to do humanitarian work?”

[wcnderprince-blog]

“We can only hope, unfortunately kindness doesn’t spread as fast as domino’s fall.” At the woman’s other question, Diana simply shrugged. “Not in the way she does, although I try to do my best to help here and there, but I would hope that goes for most people. Don’t you think?”

[rickflaghq]

He smirked after hearing her hopeful opinion. Rick was doubtful he’d live long enough to see such a transformation, but the though was nice, pleasant. “’think I’ll pass. I don’t have a good side and hate the papz.” He joked though there was some truth behind his words. Rick shrugged, “We all had other matters that needed tending to–but in the case of supporting Bruce, I am glad I showed up. That, and my crew were available at the scene… not that a building filled with ‘superheroes’ required a team of elite’s to lend a hand.” Of course, the Colonel didn’t believe that powered-folk were more capable of doing the work himself and his team were born and trained to do, but that was the naive concept Waller had practically built Task Force X upon.

“Pity,” she told him with a slight shrug. Due to their normal chatter she’d almost forgotten who exactly this man was. It wasn’t until he spoke of a crew when the light bulb in her head went on. “As I’ve heard some of your other crew members were there as well..” she trailed off, pausing as she leaned in. “You know, the ones the Joker let go. Shouldn’t you be catching them?” 

[theman-fromdownunder-blog]

“Just know when I win, I’ll be quite humble.” Some would let his comments pass, but he liked the way Diana pushed back. She would always have his respect, along with a lifetime of teasing. “So, am I just picking this thing up? Moving it somewhere?” 

[wcnderprince-blog]

“Hmm,” she hummed, furrowing her brows as if she was thinking that over. “It’s a shame I’ll never get to see you act like such. I’ve always wondered what it would be like.” She flashed him a smile after she spoke, knowing damn well Arthur could take any kind of teasing she threw at him. “I think we should start simple, don’t you? Just lift it completely off the ground.”

Superman had been aimlessly flying around the city every single day for a month now, looking for anyone to save or anything to do really. Even just a cat in a tree was worth waiting for. He was Superman, he could do anything, knowing that he’d let down the whole world when he went into his slumber was too much for his mentality. He had to do right by his people… After making sure nothing sketchy was going on in Metropolis, he flew over to Gotham and changed into civillian attire. As he sat down on a nearby bench, looking at the ocean view, he could hear footsteps behind and naturally turned around to see who it was. “Oh, it’s you” Clark smiled genuinly before sighing and turned his gaze at the rising sun. “What are you doing up so early?” 

[wcnderprince-blog]

“Oh, I’m sorry, were you expecting someone?” she tilted her head at the question, though with a smile on her face. “As someone who’s lived on Earth for so long I shouldn’t have to explain the saying ‘sleep is for the weak’ to you... Or ‘the early bird catches the worm’. Although I see you’ve already taken my worm,” she nodded over the bench he was sitting.”

Bruce was on his way to work, deciding to walk instead of taking the car, when he spotted Diana, approaching the newsstand and looking over the magazines. He knew the public deserved to know what happened, deserved to know the truth (even if he was sure Waller and ARGUS had managed to somehow keep the clown’s comments about them out of the news). But the Joker on the front page, getting the attention he often fed on, that he desired…Brown eyes focused on the brunette when she exclaimed that she’d been featured on page six of the magazine, Bruce not needing to look at it to guess what exactly the article was about. “Glad one of us enjoyed it,” he said, his eyes scanning the photos–if he was honest, he would have found it amusing, if the gala had not ended the way it did. “At least they got my good side.”

[wcnderprince-blog]

Diana had to stop herself from grinning after she had shown Bruce the picture of the two of them. It was one of the best things she had done at a party so far. “Thanks to me,” she replied,  the grin still there. “Wet and shocked is exactly your good side.” While she liked to take everyone’s feelings into consideration before doing anything, the fact that it could displease Bruce was one of the last things on her mind that night -- and even now. “I’ll have to bring a copy to the mansion, I’m sure the boys would love to hang this over the fireplace.”

[hawkgirl-shayera]

“Then how come so many could get in and around the venue? It’s not as if most of them have a degree in stealth technique. Most of them are just idiots who for some horrid reason got special powers.” Shay signed heavily. “Inside job…Gotham isn’t clean at all, so someone at the top is probably dirty. Bruce should check up in that when he has the time. Shouldn’t let them sit comfortable for too long.” The though of some rich crooked asshole sitting among the top leaders in Gotham made Shay angry. If she could have her way then she’d kindly show them the door…with her mace…in their face.

“I’d be honored to do it next time.”The winged female perked up, not hiding her excitement. “This is happening. I’m getting Barry on it as soon as I see him.” 

[wcnderprince-blog]

“Someone at the top, someone of the security company, someone of the City Hall, even someone from the lower ranks of Wayne Enterprises could’ve set this in motion. The list almost becomes endless.” At Shay’s latter comment Diana let out a chuckle. “He’s probably playing Minecraft right now.” 

“That’s a deal. I thought all of us have to do it at some point, like an initiation.” Bruce’s grumpiness really made it too easy most of the time. “We’re all counting on you, Shay. This is an opportunity too good to pass.”

[theman-fromdownunder-blog]

“My pants and undergarments.” He finished his thought, adding a wink after the last word. Flirting with Diana was harmless, until she decided to punch him, that is.” Oh, it’s on.” Losing to Diana was certainly a possibility, but he wouldn’t concede easily. Strolling over to the truck, Arthur tested its weight with one hand. A small amount of effort resulted in the car raising above the ground slightly, much to his delight. “If this is to be a proper bet, we’ll need a wager. If I win, you have to address me as your royal highness.” 

[wcnderprince-blog]

While she expected his sentence to go down this route, she was still surprised, but instead of showing that she simply crossed her arms over her chest and rolled her eyes. “Good to know,” she muttered, not phased at all by his winking. “Gladly,” she took up his offer of a bet as she stepped closer to the truck. “If you want to win, you’ll really need to do better than that.”

[rickflaghq]

A low chuckle escaped Rick, neither loud or forced, “No amount of clean up could remove this shit stain.” Perhaps the idiom would be lost to this woman. Negative topics weren’t so popular, though Flag’s thoughts frequently were pessimistic he didn’t push his unpleasant opinion further. “Besties. ‘didn’t realize a beverage to the face was the modern bonding practice. ‘another trend inspired by Beyonce, I presume?” Rick hummed with a quirked brow. “I’d hate to see your bad side..” With a nod he replied, “Yes, I was there. More for business than pleasure… but it’s all just about keeping up appearances ‘round here. Isn’t it?”

[wcnderprince-blog]

“One day we might witness the miracle,” his negativity towards Gotham could’t waiver her opinion. Although, she had seem far more beautiful cities than Gotham, not all of them started like that. “Don’t knock it ‘til you try it,” she told him with a smile before furrowing his brows at the Beyonce statement. “I’m not sure?” While she knew who Beyonce was, she didn’t keep up with the celebrities. To his following statement she shot him a smile, not replying to it verbally. “I think it you didn’t like being there? Not to mention, isn’t all of Gotham just a mirage? The parties, the suits, everything to cover up how bad it is getting. Of course it didn’t last too long this time.”
