Chapter 2 - CHAPTER 2: MAYBE

Diana was at a Justice League weekly meeting, listening to Superman talking about last weeks doings. It has been 6 months since Bruce retired, it felt weird not seeing him everyday or on a mission.

She got close with Bruce during their time in Justice League, and she really admired him, an mortal man, that doesn't look twice before going to a fight with an enemy that is ten times stronger than him. He cared about all of them, even if he has a hard time showing it, she knew he cared. In a last few months before his retirement, she started to feel a weird way, a feeling she hasn't felt for a long time. Few days after he left she knew she had feelings for him, but it was too late now and she wasn't even sure he felt the same way, with his suit and a neutral face you could never figure out what he was feeling or thinking.

She decided it was best if she just let the feeling go away with time, but as months went by it just got worse, and worse.

——————————————————————————

Bruce decided he wants to go out into the city to get a coffee, it has been a long time since he went out as a normal person. He got into his car and drove to a coffee shop in the center of the city. It was a beautiful day so he decided to sit outside and watch the city and the people.

After some time an explosion happened just a few meters beside him, he took cover behind the tables and when he got up he saw Bane and a few other low level criminals getting out of a bank.

Bruce felt powerless, he didn't have his suit and going barehanded on Bane would be a bad idea.

Then he saw her, Wonder Woman coming from the sky and landing in front of the criminals.

She fought them off easily, not even breaking a sweat, the police came and arrested the criminals while Bane managed to escape.

Bruce stood frozen for a few seconds and then he walked over to her.

Bruce: Diana.

She heard a familiar rough voice behind her, she turned back and saw him…her heart almost leapt out of her chest but she managed to stay cool.

Diana: Bruce? What are you doing here?

Bruce : I decided to go out for a while, get a coffee, guess its just my luck I pick a place where they rob the bank on the same day…

Diana: Yeah, trouble seems to find you always…

There was a a long silence between them.

Bruce: So… how are you doing?

Diana: I am fine, the League is getting some new members next month, but its weird without Batman there…

Bruce: Yeah…Honestly it is much harder than I thought, but I think I am getting there.

Diana: Thats good, but you know you always have a place with us, if you ever want to come back…

Bruce: Yeah I know, but for now I just want to have a normal life, if that is even possible.

Bruce was going crazy in his head, he wanted to ask her on a date and tell her everything, but the words never came out.

Diana: I understand, well maybe we can get a coffee next time I am in Gotham, so we can catch up.

Bruce smiled, maybe he could do this, but he has to be careful so he had to play it cool.

Bruce: Yeah, Maybe we should…
