Those Who Are Worthy of Love - A Wonder Woman/Thor Romance

Chapter 10

Diana's POV

Kara's cape was thrown over her head haphazardly as she flipped it up and away from her head. Her blonde locks sat a mess atop her head as she frantically batted the loose strands from her face. "Diana!" she bellowed as she jumped to her feet excited. I didn't even have time to react before I felt her equally strong arms wrapping around my torso in an embrace. "It has been such a long time!"

"It certainly has," I responded as Kara stepped back and lightly clutched to each of my shoulders.

Thor groaned as he lifted himself to his feet, the handle of his hammer still clutched tightly within his grasp. I watched as Kara turned to look at him, one of her thin blonde eyebrows raising to the skies. She lifted her left hand to point at Thor. I could tell she tried to hide her obvious attraction to the blonde Norse god.

"Who...is your...friend?" She managed to blurt out, but what caught my attention more was the glint emanating from her left ring finger. I furrowed my eyebrows as I yanked her hand towards me, eyeing the unique stone setting atop her knuckle.

"Kara, are you engaged? To whom? Grayson?" I asked, having assumed that she and the former Robin finally realized their clandestine future together.

"Not exactly," she started as my face morphed into confusion.

Suddenly, the dark form that I was all too familiar with landed amidst the three of us. His dark cape surrounded him like a black pool of water as he slowly rose to his feet from a crouch. He didn't even acknowledge my presence as his gaze locked onto Thor. He took a few steps forward, keeping his jaw squared as he stood toe to toe with the Norseman.

"Who are you?" Batman said in his gruff, intimidating baritone of a voice.

"I am Thor. God of Thunder, King of Asgard, and the strongest Avenger. You must be the Man Bat."

"You think you're a god?" Batman beseeched as I took a step forward, placing a hand delicately on Batman's arm.

"Bruce," I said without even thinking. Batman's head turned towards me in a flash. I could see the anger fuming within his eyes through the holes of his cowl.

"Are you out of your mind using my real name in front of this stranger?"

"He is a friendly," I countered as I watched Batman look over his shoulder at Thor with a scowl.

"That is yet to be determined," Batman said through clenched teeth.

"Hun, these two almost literally fell out of the sky together. They appeared right in front of me out of nowhere and I crashed right into them. Besides, why would Diana lie to us?"

Did she just call him 'Hun'?

"If it would make you feel better I can give you references. I am certain Tony Stark and Bruce Banner would vouch for me," Thor said as he nonchalantly twirled his hammer.

Batman stared on at him blankly before idly shaking his head. "I have no clue who those people are."

I on the other hand stared between Kara and Bruce, still hung up on her calling him 'Hun'. "Are you two...together?"

Kara parted her lips to answer before a creature with wings that flew past us with such speed interrupted her the speed was so fierce it caused tussled hair and capes. Kara cleared her throat.

"Was that a Parademon that just flew past us?" Kara asked so matter of factly it would have bothered any other company aside from the company of superheroes.

"You want a chance to prove you are who you say you are?" Batman said as he removed a grappling hook from his utility belt.

"One step ahead of you, Man Bat," Thor said with a sardonic grin, the hammer rotating in a circle above his head. His form lifted into the air, followed by a disgruntled and mumbling Batman who launched his hook into a nearby building and followed suit.
