--- Ezra's POV ---

"I need this kitchen churning as fast as possible, I am very pleased with my experiences here in the past, and I hope and have faith you will please me again. Please, begin cooking. Good luck." I finished addressing the cooks and waiters in Japanese, and then went outside. I spoke into my earpiece. "Michael. We're ready."

"Got it, sir. Kay will be there shortly." He replied.

I smiled. "Perfect." A long black limo pulled up, and I opened the door. "Hello ladies. How was the ride?" I asked, reaching in.

Artemis exited first, despite my disapproving glance, and shrugged. "I'm the security." She said softly, and I forgave her.

I handed out my mother, then Athena, and finally the most beautiful woman on the planet. Her skin glowed a perfectly vibrant pinkish gold, and her cheeks and ears were a tiny bit more rosy from blush.

I smiled. "Y así las estrellas cayeron, Que puede la oportunidad de una visión de la belleza." (And So the Stars Fell, That they might chance upon a vision of beauty)

She smiled. "I understood that. You're always Joking, aren't you?"

I looked her square in the eyes. "¿Crees que es una broma?" (Do you think that this is a joke?) and then I kissed her sweetly, holding her waist.

She lost a high heel, and Diana slipped it back onto her raised foot before I was finished. She cleared her throat. "Wow... Well then. Ahem. What... What is for dinner?" She changed the subject.

"You are the most beautiful woman I have ever met. I'll never get tired of reminding you of it. And dinner is Sushi/Hibachi." I smiled.

I finally noticed what she was wearing. It was a long black dress and black high heels, that accented her eyes wonderfully, along with the tiny amount of make up she'd put on, a bit of mascara. Her long brown hair was tied up in a long French braid.

I smiled. "I like the outfit." I looked at mother, dressed in much the same fashion. "You're all very beautiful, my dears. Now. Would you do me the honor of dining with me? I don't believe I asked, I just assumed you'd be here, how rude of me." I grinned.

I held out my arm, and she held my elbow. "Why, I'd be honored, my love. Artemis? If you'd escort Diana?" Liza said.

I smiled. "You'll love what's in store tonight. I rented the entire restaurant, and I've also placed bids on buying it. I love this place. Flash used to take me here." I said.

She snapped her head towards me. "You remember that?"

I nodded. "Martian Manhunter is slowly giving me the memories of my time with the league, from their perspectives. So I can't remember what it felt like or anything like that, but I can remember seeing myself, which is odd, but it cements so many things... He gave me memories of you. Memories I didn't want to see. I have never felt such rage in my life, or such love. It's an odd combination." I opened the door for her.

She smiled. "Everything happens for a reason. Fate and all..."

"Fuck Fate." I said quietly.

"What was that?" She asked, as I pulled out her chair and pushed it in.

"Nothing, my love. Attracting the wrath of celestial cosmic deities. Now. I am sure you're wondering who all these strangers are." I shrugged.

"Uhm... No, I wasn't."

"Good. Because they are, in fact, the JLA." I waved a hand, and Zatanna dropped the glamour. Liza gasped as the room filled with her extended family.
