"Ladybug! It's pleasant to see you here" Wonder Woman greeted.

There was another Justice League meeting that had to discuss issues. It wasn't compulsory for her to attend since it wasn't important as there are also other heroes who opted out and due to her age, but she insisted on coming because she had another agenda lined up.

The person she had wanted to see.

Ladybug smiled brightly at the sight of the older woman, "Hello Wonder Woman. It's nice to see you too"

Wonder Woman gave a hug and soon enough broke away.

"It seems like you wanted to see me?" Wonder Woman spoke up, eyes glinting with understanding.

Ladybug laughed, "Yes, I did.."

Wonder Woman leads her to one of the private meeting rooms.

"So what do you want to ask?" Wonder Woman offered.

"I was going to ask questions regarding your past encounters with criminals." Ladybug started, she thought it was ideal if she could slowly ease the topic to the desired one.

Wonder Woman raised an eyebrow, "Okay, but why so sudden?"

"It's because I wanted to know and be prepared in case I faced them," Ladybug reasoned, which Wonder Woman thought was reasonable.

"Well..I heard you've faced Ra's al Ghul before" Marinette prompted.

Wonder Woman nodded, "I did, a handful of times, it was quite some time back"

"I was wondering how he was?" Ladybug asked.

Wonder Woman thought of the answer for a bit,

"Well, he was cunning. He definitely had plenty of tricks up his sleeves. He was also a good combatant for a human, if he wasn't, I would've won easily. He put up a fight and even managed to flee."

Ladybug nodded apprehensive and felt grim at the situation if she truly had to fight Ra's al Ghul. Wonder Woman herself couldn't defeat him. She really felt that she would be in trouble.

Wonder Woman then crossed her arms, "Why did you ask about him? Are you going to fight him?"

Wonder Woman is quite sharp. She thought it was a natural question since Ra's al Ghul was in fact in Gotham. So it doesn't hurt to prepare.

"Well, I heard he was in Gotham. I just wanted to prepare in case I somehow met him.." Ladybug explained.

Wonder Woman nodded, apprehensive. The fact that Ra's al Ghul is in Gotham, it made sense to learn the opponent beforehand to get an advantage over them.

"Very well, I will tell you everything you want to know." Wonder Woman stated while Ladybug smiled.

"Thank you! I wanted to learn more!" Ladybug thanked her.

"How about the League Headquarter?" Ladybug then asks an important question.

Wonder Woman shrugged, "In Tibet? It was normal, maze-like, there were plenty of guards. Ra's al Ghul took precautions."

Ladybug thought of it. She was hoping that it was in Gotham, as she wanted more information. Though as Damian said, the structural and guards.

"How did you manage to defeat him?" Lady couldn't help but ask for her solution. Hoping she could follow through it.

"Well, I was about to hit him using my strength, power." Wonder Woman mused.

She couldn't do that. Wonder Woman was a literal demi-god. As far as she was an angel, she didn't have super strength as power. A useful power is that she has fast regeneration that helps heal her injuries swiftly.
