Ch: 67 [Diana meets Bruce Wayne]
I will let this insolent man go for now. My eyes went toward the barbeque stall on the corner, grilled meat and fried chicken wafting through the air. The delicious aroma made me hungry again. I approached the counter, and a friendly-looking young man greeted me with a smile.
"Hello there! What can I get for you today?"
"What are my options?" I asked, looking at the menu.
He explained the various options and handed me a menu. I have no idea what any of this means, but the pictures look appetizing, so I ordered a few things.
After a few minutes, my food was ready. The young man handed me a paper bag and said, "Here you go, ma'am. Have a great day!"
I thanked him and walked to a nearby park bench to enjoy my meal. As I took my first bite, my eyes lit up. This was incredible! The meat was tender, juicy, and flavorful. What kind of new spices and herbs did they use to cook this? It was like nothing I had ever tasted.
I was halfway through my meal when I spotted a stray dog, looking at me with those big, adorable eyes.
"What? Want some?" I asked as I took out a drumstick and held it before it.
"Wofff!" barked the dog as it wagged its tail.
"Here, catch," I tossed it over, and the dog caught it in midair. It ate eagerly, gulping down the meat in seconds. Its furry little face is smeared with barbecue sauce. And, it's wagging its tail again!
"Want another one?" I asked.
"Wofff!" it barked again.
I gave him another drumstick, and he wolfed it down as quickly as the last one.
We ate together, bonding over barbeque chicken. By the time I finished my meal, the dog had licked the sauce off the ground and curled up near my feet. It was a beautiful sight, sitting in the park, watching the city lights sparkle against the night sky. It's so peaceful. No more wars, no more death. Just people living their lives and enjoying their freedom.
Huh?! What's that little girl eating? A cone-shaped thing with a pink ball attached to it? Looks tasty... I approached her and asked, "Excuse me, what is that?"
The little girl smiled and replied, "It's ice cream!"
"Is it tasty?" I asked curiously.
"Yup! Very tasty," she replied as her mother called her from a distance. "Coming," She ran off with her ice cream in hand, waving goodbye to me.
Hmm... Ice cream. Sounds interesting. Now where can I find some ice cream? I searched the area until I found an ice cream stand.
"Hello there! What can I get for you?" The vendor asked.
"Ice cream," I replied bluntly.
"Any flavor you prefer?" He showed me a list of options with an awkward chuckle.
"Home, Alfred. Let Dad know we are having a very important guest tonight," The man in a black suit replied.
"Certainly, sir," Alfred nodded as he drove us away from the motel.
"Who are you?" I asked curiously.
"Bruce Wayne," He extended his hand toward me, which I reluctantly shook. "Welcome to the outside world, Princess Diana."
Bruce Wayne led me to his mansion, which was massive and luxurious. Alfred escorted us to a spacious living room, where Bruce called some maids and arranged a place for me to clean myself after such a long journey. I need a nice bath and as for clothes, I have already bought a pair, so no worries there.
As I soaked in the bathtub, I couldn't help but feel relieved. Haaa... I wanted to ask him how he knew about Themsyscaria and most of all about my identity, but he was a weird man, hard to talk to. I felt he hid something deep within himself. But what? It's weird indeed. I have never felt so difficult to ask something from someone before.
Once I finished bathing and was about to put my clothes on, two maids were waiting for me with a new outfit.
"Master Bruce insisted on getting you a new set of clothes," One of them smiled as she laid the clothes on the bed.
They were beautiful and fit perfectly. I put them on and headed downstairs to meet Bruce. I have so many questions for him, and I hope he answers them honestly.
[A few hours earlier...]
Bruce was going through some data on his newly improved AI-integrated glasses when he received a notification from Jarvis. He quickly put the glass on the table and shifted his chair toward the screen.
"Who is it, Jarvis?" He asked impatiently.
"Sir, I have detected Diana Prince in Metropolis harbor," The AI answered as it put up the live footage on the screen. Bruce zoomed in and saw Wonder Woman stepping out of a ship.
"So, you are finally. here. Diana... No, Wonder Woman, my first recruit to my heroes league," He muttered to himself as he watched Diana walking through the streets of Metropolis.
Bruce took his laptop and left the office.
