Brother I is watching...
Two days after Batman's meeting with the Justice League, the Dark Knight returns to his headquarters and begins the nightly (or morning, rather) ritual of removing his armor and going over the night's work. The appearance of a new designer drug in Gotham has been his top priority, as well as keeping the family of a visiting diplomat out of harm's reach has taken up most of his attention. Robin has been doing the legwork of watching over the family, but Batman knows he will need to step in soon.

Meanwhile, he finds that the new Wayne Enterprises satellite is working as intended and he notes where Superman, Green Lantern and other members of the new Justice League are as they move about the planet. He couldn't allow this new group to operate unchecked, no matter how much he wanted to believe that Clark and the others would be able keep things in line. Rumors of the Justice League's return were being met overall with triumph, though there was hostility in other places. Across the world, media outlets vocally floated the idea that the time had come for every country to create their own Justice League to keep America from policing them even further.

Batman files away every scrap of information, knowing that it will all be necessary at some point. I

It always is.

Alfred arrives from upstairs, his polished shoes clacking softly against the stone of the steps as he arrives.

"Master Bruce, Princess Diana wishes to speak to you. Shall I send her down?" he asks.

Bruce grunts, and switches to something else on the computer screen.

"Very well. I'll send her down presently." Alfred says, returning the way he came.

"Eventually, you may have to choose, Diana." Bruce says, affected by the touch of her hand on his shoulder. He couldn't do this, not now, not with her.

He couldn't allow this to happen, no matter how much he wanted it to.

"I'm sorry, Diana, but whatever you think you want, I can't give it to you." Bruce says.

"If I have to choose, I will make my own choices. I'm a part of the League. The League is not me."

Her hand remains on his shoulder.

"At least look at me before dismissing me, Bruce."

Bruce turned around in the chair and stood up to loom over Wonder Woman.

"What do you want from me, Diana? Really?" he asks.

Diana tilted her head so that she could maintain eye contact with him but was otherwise not intimidated by the sheer size of the man standing in front of her.

"The same thing that you want but can't bring yourself to say."

"And...what do you think that is, exactly?" Bruce asks, looking into Diana's eyes.

He knew what he wanted and that this wasn't a good idea for either of them, but he also couldn't deny what he'd felt for her for years, now.

"This."

Diana kissed him.

He meant to stop her. He /should/ have stopped her, but for some reason, he couldn't.

Diana kissed him and returned the kiss, letting the world fall away and he pulled her closer to him.

Diana wrapped her arms around him as he pulled her closer, tight in embrace with him. It had been a long time in coming. She wanted to enjoy every second, wanted to feel the warmth of being so close to him.

"I'm tired of fighting this." She whispered the words and sighed as the kiss broke but she did not pull away.

"I am, too, Diana...but my life isn't conducive to being shared. I've tried before and failed miserably." he says.

"Don't forget I have a life not dissimilar to your own. We will do what we can. At least we know what the life is like and don't put unrealistic expectations on each other. We never have, Bruce."

"So...what, exactly, do you see happening here? Now?" he asks.

"I was considering kissing you again and seeing what happened from there," she says softly.

"Then let's go with that." Bruce says, kissing her again.

Diana melted against him, deepening the kiss a bit more than the first one.

"I'm not leaving for New York until morning," she whispered.

"Good. Then let's discuss the case again in detail. That'll take all night." he says.

"Go upstairs and I'll follow you." he says.

Diana smiled and stepped back from him.

"Good idea. We have a lot to discuss." She picked up her lasso and started up the stairs.

Bruce watched her walk up the stairs, wondering how this happened. He was the World's Greatest Detective and he was still putting this one together.

He shut down the computer and left the lights on for Batgirl and Robin, then went to change clothes.

Soon enough, he headed up the stairs after Diana.
