Wonderwoman's P.O.V
"Is he...going to be alright?" I asked J'onn, my eyes sparkling with hope. "I can't be sure about that, his injuries are serious," he answered solemnly. I felt a tear slide down my cheek as I stared through the glass panel, at Arthur's calm face whereas the surgeon's was frantic. "Hera, what if...what if he never wakes up?" I whispered to myself.
I had never felt this vulnerable before, this aching feeling in my heart was unbearable. I couldn't describe it. Furthermore, I didn't even know this guy that well, why was I so concerned about him? I quickly wiped my tear away and took a deep breath before turning to walk away. Stay calm, I told myself, although my tears were threatening to spill over. I blinked them away and hurried to my room.
By the time my door had closed, I was already sinking to the floor, my violent sobs shaking my body. I buried my face in my hands, my hair brushing forward. I felt so terrible... why did he have to take that blow for me? Now his life was in danger and I couldn't do anything to help him. God, I felt helpless and I didn't like feeling this way.
Maybe I'd go to Earth and take my mind off things, there was nothing I could do here anyway. Oh! I just remembered! Mother needs me to represent her in some gathering tonight since she's busy handling things in Themyscira. Gosh it was already 5 and I had to be there in half an hour!
I quickly threw on a beautiful blue gown which hugged my body perfectly, I finished my make up in a few seconds since I only cared to apply some bronzer. I grabbed my coat since it was cold and pressed a button to make my door slide open.
My heels clicked against the floor as I made my way to the elevator. Just as the doors were about to close, Batman slipped in. "Going to the gathering?" He asked. "Certainly, hmm? How did you know?" "Because I'm heading there right now," it was then that I realised he was dressed in a charming, black tuxedo and his hair looked like he actually tried doing something to it. Although I didn't mind how he looked on normal days.
"Can I give you a ride?" He asked when we arrived at Earth. "That would be just fine," I smiled weakly at him. When we arrived at our destination, I marvelled at the beautiful building, there were already many guests inside, casually swaying to the music, cocktails in their hands and talking to one another.
I stepped out of the limousine and walked gracefully to the entrance before making my way in. I was nervous, but Batman's presence behind me helped calm me. "Princess Diana," a man said as he handed me a microphone. "Thank you," I stepped onto the stage and smiled at everyone, who had their eyes focused on me. "Welcome to this gathering, my mother, Queen Hippolyta of Themyscira, is unable to attend this event and had me take over her role of being a host, I would like everyone to enjoy themselves..." I continued on.
After my long speech, I went up to different people and had political conversations with them. The night went on peacefully, until my cell phone rang, and everything started to go wrong.
