Until marriage-Superbat

Chit-chat

Metropolis, Clark's apartment 8.30 pm

It was a terrible and long day. I had to write the article with Dawn staring at me the whole time. It was very annoying. She criticized almost everything, but we were able to send it to the boss and go home around 7.30. Better than nothing.

I tried to call Bruce on the way home, but he didn't  pick up. I started to feel anxious. He's probably mad at me right now. I called his other number and Alfred picked up the phone. He said Bruce was already out with Dick and they are patrolling together. He assured me that Bruce wasn't angry with me.

I opened the door to my apartment and turned on the light. I saw that someone was sitting at the dining table and watching television. There was also a bottle of wine in front of her. She turned off the TV and turned around when she heard me come home.

"Clark, you're finally home! Your Christmas decorations are s*cks. Even Batman's better decorations" greeted me Diana.
"Diana, what are you doing here? And how did you get in?" I asked as I tried to take off my shoes.
"I have nothing to do today, so I came to talk to you. And you gave me a key a few years ago because you needed someone to water your plants while you were out in space"
"Yes, I remember now" I said and I also took off my suit top.

We went back to the dining room table and sat across from each other. Diana opened the wine and she gave me a glass. I really needed that wine after this day. I think Diana must have seen this because she gave me worried looks across the table.

"How was your day? You look very exhausted" she said and she tasted the wine.
"Terrible. I got a new partner" I said, staring at my glass.
"Is she that bad?" she asked worried but I only gave her a snort and I also tasted the wine. I think it might have been from Themyscira. "I see. What did she do?"
"Bruce asked us to make an interview with him and Dick. He wants to make it official that Dick is his son. The article will be out tomorrow" I said and took a sip from my glass.
"And what was the problem?"
"Dawn and Bruce getting into a weird argument that ruined the whole interview. It was terrible. They froze the air in the room" I said and shuddered a little at the memory. "I think Bruce is very mad at me right now"
"What? Why would he?" Diana asked outraged. "Sometimes he's very bad mannered, but he's always logical. I don't think he's blaming you" she said impulsively and her face turning a little red. I didn't say anything to that, so she continued after she had calmed down herself. "Why were they arguing?"
"Dawn asked him about his parents and about the time he disappeared from Gotham for ten years. It made him angry because the way she asked those questions wasn't very nice. I can even say that she tried the 'bad cop-good cop' tactic. She wanted to argue with him"
"And who is this woman exactly?"
"Her name is Dawn White and she used to live in Gotham"
"Then maybe that's why she's so violent" she said as she took a sip of her wine.
"I don't think so. Bruce is also from Gotham and he's very gentel sometimes. I think she's hidding something" I said and I looked at Diana strangely. "Why are you smiling like that?"
"Because we finally got to the topic that really interests me" she said and she started laughing and I started to get scared.
"What do you want from me?"
"Gossip. So, you got away with this question the past few weeks but now you have nowhere to run. Is Bruce good in the bed? Come on, I have to know!" she said impatiently and I gave up.
"Fine, he is. Happy now?"
"No, no, no, no, no darling. I want details"
"Since when do you gossipy?"
"Since Bruce loves you. So?" she asked with a big smile and almost like puppy eyes.
"Alright, but just because you're my best friend" I said with a big sigh. 
"Yes! Is he likes kissing?"
"Yes, very much" I said laughing a little.
"And only on his lips or everywhere?" she asked and I felt myself blush.
"Almost everywhere, except his fresh wounds"
"Do you like his scars?" she asked and I swallowed.
"I always fell guilty. He has scars from me when we were fighting with each other"
"And what did he say about them?"
"He doesn't care about his scars and wounds"
"Then you shouldn't feel guilty about them either. You know he got scars from me too, but you know him. He doesn't lie very often especialy about his feelings because he barely feel anything. I don't think he cares about his old scars"
"That's not true! He has feelings!" I tried to defend him but Diana just laughed.
"Yes, he has feelings for you, I can see that" she said and I blushed.
"Well, do you have any more question?"
"Just two. What do you think about Dick?"
"He's a nice kid and I think he'll be a great help for Bruce. He doesn't sleep on the floor now at least"
"I hope you know it's partly because of you. And my last question! Do you want to marry him and have a family together?" she asked and I thought for a bit before answering. I'd never tought about it because I thought I could only love Lois. But I loved Bruce more than her.
"I could spend an eternity with him" I said as my heart started to beat faster.
"You really love him, don't you?" she asked smiling.
"Hey, you said two questions!"
"Just answer it" she said with a sigh.
"I do" I said and we remained silent for a few minutes. "Do you want to stay here for the night? It's freezing cold outside" 

She nodded gratefully and she laid down on the sofa. "Good night, Clark"

I wanted to answer her, but she had already fallen asleep. I gave her a blanket and then I flew out in a window to Gotham.
