Ch: 68 [The truth]

[After dinner][3rd person pov] [Diana's room]

"Thank you for your hospitality," Diana thanked Bruce as she finished her meal. "Our meeting was fast and unexpected."

"And you have many questions for me, I guess?" Bruce sat on the nearby chair, "Ask away."

"How do you know about Themsyscaria?" She got straight to the point.

"Humm... You won't believe me even if I tell you. And if I did tell you the truth, the very concept of your existence might break your sanity," He warned.

"Try me," She challenged him.

"Very well..." He sighed. "But before that..." He looked toward the window, "Stop sneaking outside and come in."

"Wha-" Before Diana could notice the presence outside the window, Selina entered through it, landing gracefully on her feet.

"Why are you sneaking around?" He asked sternly.

"Because she is a stranger and I am guarding you?" Selina scratched her head with an awkward grin.

"Haaa," Bruce sighed. "Sit down. I was planning to tell you the truth anyway, a bit early won't hurt."

Selina sat beside Bruce, eyeing Diana with a glint of jealousy in her eyes. She was a beauty no doubt about that, but for some reason, she doesn't like her. Maybe it's her attitude? A little self-conscious perhaps? Her boobs were bigger than hers and she is a princess! Selina couldn't help but fear that he might fall for her if the time came.

'A rival in love huh, how fun this journey could get...' Selina thought, 'Let's not get ahead of ourselves.'

Diana observed her with curiosity. She had a different energy around her, wild, free-spirited, unlike her demeanor. And most of all, despite being a veteran warrior, she didn't even sense her presence while she snuck around. Even now, her aura is almost non-existence, making her invisible to others.

'She is strong. I couldn't even sense her. The outside world is indeed interesting,' Diana thought.

Bruce continued, "You want answers right? So, use your Lasso of Truth on me. That way we should be able to create proper trust and communication. But be warned, once you see the truth, your perspective and beliefs will change forever. If you can handle it, that is."

"Understood." She removed her lasso from her waist and wrapped it around his arm. Her lasso was made from Gaea's truth, a divine tool that can force anyone to tell the truth. None can lie while under its grasp.Điscover new chapters at novelhall.com

'A new goal...' She thought. 'To learn and defend Earth instead of focusing on the past. My new mission is to protect Earth from unknown threats. A chance to live for a good cause instead of wandering aimlessly. To feel the rush of blood in battle, it's what my life needs. I shall slay the invader that my ancestors failed to defeat. I will not let history repeat itself!'

"So, multiverse, huh?" Selina suddenly asked, breaking the silence, "I mean, you are from another Earth. Dang! That sounds crazy. Do you have a family there? Or you know..." She wanted to ask him if he had anyone special back on his Earth. "Forget it..." Although she loves Bruce, it wasn't her place to ask such a personal question. 'I am sure he will tell me when the time is right.' She had faith in him, always.

Pepper's face suddenly flashed in his mind, making him frown in thought, "Maybe later..." He stood up, "Rest well... I will see you tomorrow..." Without looking back, he left the room leaving a perplexed Selina and an understanding Diana.

"What happened to his mood suddenly? Is it because of his Earth?" Selina asked worriedly.

"It's complicated," Diana replied, her gaze following Bruce's disappearing shadow outside, "He probably had his reasons not to talk about it. Just give him some space."

"Yeah, it was my bad," She stood up, "Well, Princess, see you in the morning..." Without waiting for a reply, she left the room closing the door behind her.

[Meanwhile, in Wayne Enterprise's R&D sector. Plant research division.]

Dr. Pamela Lillian Isley was doing some research on plant mutation. Bruce hired her last year because he knew that in the future she was going to become Poison Ivy, a dangerous villain. So, he decided to approach her before she took the wrong path. And even if history repeats itself and she does turn into Poison Ivy, he should be able to stop her from taking the wrong path and recruit her instead.

Suddenly, her office door slammed open, making her almost jump out of her skin. "Ah! Don't you have manners?! Knocking first!"

Lisa, her assistant, came in holding a datapad, "It has started... The flower is about to bloom at any minute now..." She sounds restless and excited at the same time.
