Today Barry and I were cleaning the storage room. It wasn't our job but yesterday we thought it would be a good idea to play with a boomerang indoors. My strength plus his speed combined resulted in destruction of the storage bins and compartments. I think that was the first time John yelled at us, it was a scary experience.

"OUT YOU TWO. NOW!" He yelled. Just thinking about it gives me chills.

"So is the picture thing down in your school? Or are people still giving you a hard time?" Barry asked dusting off few folders.

"Everyone keeps looking at me, it's like I'm almost used to it now." I replied with a sigh. I was counting days till all this would be over.

"Wish I could do something. It's unlikely of Bruce to find out who did it in the first place." He replied.

"He's only human, I'm sure he tried."

"No, you don't understand." Barry replied. "His mind is like a knife, especially with the hacking thing. He tracks down almost everyone within seconds. Even into the government system if he wants."
"Really?" I asked. Obviously he was such a smart ass who did almost everything possible. "I don't know, I just don't like bothering him about any of this anymore."

"Do you like him?" Barry asked.

If I knew the answer to that Barry, my life would be so much easy.

"Of course. He's my team mate slash classmate."

"No, I mean more than that....like...."

"Diana, here you are......what are you doing in the storage?" My mom interrupted us.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" I asked, dusting my hands off.

"I'm here for Bruce. Do you know where he is?" She asked. "And did he make you do this?"

"No, we caused a mess here yesterday so we are cleaning up. Why do want to meet Bruce?" I asked. If I knew my mom well, she was here to kill him.

"We have things to discuss."

"What things?"

She just stomped away without answering me.

"I'm sorry I need to go will you be fine here?" I asked Barry.

"Yep, you take care." He replied.

I barged into the room with no patience. My mom and Bruce sat face to face on the table. They looked very serious.

"Do you have no manners? Doors are to be knocked on." My mom glared at me.

"What is happening?" I asked. Bruce looked so upset, it hurt to see him like that.

"Your mom and I were talking about few things, team things." Bruce replied with a low voice.

"Cut the crap is this about the picture thing mom? I told you it was a silly thing." I said.

"Silly? Whole school knows about it. Do you have any idea how much that affects my reputation?" She asked.

"Your reputation? I'm sorry are you in the picture?" I asked.

Bruce was biting his lip so hard so he wouldn't burst out laughing. I was the only one who talked to my mother like that because everyone was scared of her.

"Are you two a couple?" My mom asked.

"No." I answered.

"Not yet." Bruce replied. I looked at him.

"Bruce!?"

"I thought you were going to say not yet!" He hesitated.

"You know when I said that my daughter was going to join the Justice League, I was unsure because the guys would outweigh her and maybe make her feel insecure about herself. And you told me you would guard her with your life if you had to. I'm starting to think I trusted you more than I should have Bruce." She replied.

"Mom..."

"He failed to live up to his words. He isn't supposed to toy with you Diana." She yelled at me, keeping me at loss for words.

"I'm sorry Hippolyta." He said.

"I'm going to suspend you from the team for a week. You can work from home or wherever you see fit." She said getting up.

"What? You can't suspend him from his own team, you have no authority!" I defended.

"Keep talking and I'm going to make it two." She replied.

"Mom.."

"It's okay. I'll be away." Bruce replied.

"Good." My mom said and walked out of the room.

I followed her behind holding her hand.

"Mom! That was very uncalled for. How can you do that to him?" I asked.

"What I did was right. He needs this."

"No, he does not. I am equally at fault as he his, why don't you suspend me for a week as well?"

"Diana." My mom said holding my hand. "You are my baby, you are the only thing I have in this world, the only thing I have to fight for. My job is to protect you and I am doing that. Whether you like it or not, I'm always going to do what keeps you safe."

"But Bruce...."

"He'll be fine. Leave him alone."
