Wonder Woman’s Problem

Chapter 1: The Wish

Wonder Woman point of view.

“Oh Bruce, I wish that you would love me the way I love you,” I thought sadly, while I was looking at a picture of the two of us laughing, it was a rare moment so I took a picture of us.

“Wonder Woman, we have a mission for you.” One of my best friends J’onn told me, “Cheetah and Devastation are attacking the president. The only other member who isn’t on vacation is Batman.”

“He never takes a vacation.” I said, “So basically two of my least favorite villains are attacking the president? I’m heading there now.” I’m going to beat them into next week, I thought.

I looked at my laptop, specifically what was up at that point. Pictures of me kissing Batman, and vice versa, and I look at my phone which had the picture I had taken. I knew the pictures that I saw on my computer wasn’t real, but I could hope, as for the one on my phone I knew it was real. I closed it, vowing to forever remember the pictures. I exited my room and hurried to the transportation room.

“Send me down, J’onn.” I said after taking a deep breath, “By the way, what’s Batman doing?”

“Batman is searching for the Joker, otherwise I’d send him down with you.” the martian replied. I nodded and stepped onto the closest circle, and J’onn sent me to protect the president.

Cheetah, Devastation.” I said angrily, “Leave the president alone. Or else.”

“Or else what?” Cheetah asked as both villains turned to me, “Devastation has the same powers you do, you can’t take her on. Honestly, we only attacked the president to get your attention.” I gritted my teeth, then smiled.

“Well I still have an advantage over her.” I said, charging into battle.

Batman’s point of view.

I landed on a rooftop with Robin just behind me, he watched Gordan, cautious. I exited the shadows, with Robin just behind me.

“Commissioner.” I said, “What do you need us for?” The commissioner spun around, startled, then he gasped for breath, then upon seeing me and Robin, sighed and then he relaxed with relief in his eyes.

“Joker just busted Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy out of Arkham.” I hid any emotion, but I was very angry that I hadn’t thought of it sooner. Joker and Harley Quinn are in love, of course he’d go back for her. And he’d go after Poison Ivy because of the fact that Poison Ivy and Harley are best friends.

“Men in love will do strange thing, Commissioner.” I said, and decided to pretend I knew it’d happen all along. “With Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy he’s more likely to mess up. Basically by freeing them he’s slowed himself down and put himself at more risk.” Gordan nodded, clearly relaxing.

“You’ll get them back in Arkham, right Batman?” he asked.

“First you need to repair it or he’ll escape again, but as soon as it’s fixed then yes.” I said, “Too bad you haven’t come up with a Joker-proof building yet.”

“We’re working on it.” Gordan said, “We don’t have the financial backing for it, though. You’re friends with Bruce Wayne, right? Could you ask him to send us some money so we can actually get down to business to actually make a Joker-proof building?”

“Might as well consider it done Commissioner.” I said, turning and leaving with Robin not far behind.

Wonder Woman point of view.

I lassoed Cheetah and Devastation, with a grin on my face, pleased at my latest victory. I flew a few miles away to a jail where I’d have a more than a little bit of warning if they intend to attack the president again.

“Another victory, Wonder Woman?” one of the guards asked, and I nodded with a huge smile on my face, then I realized that I'm too easy read so I made the smile go away.

“Against Cheetah and Devastation.” I told him. “Try to keep them in this time alright?” I managed to hide my fast breathing. He didn’t need to know how close I’d come to losing, I can’t believe that they’ve gotten that good. I turned and started to walk away, but then I felt something hit my head, and I fell to the ground with my vision going black.

Batman’s point of view.

“J’onn, do you know where Diana is, she should be back by now.” I asked him, glad that he couldn’t see the look on my face, but I can’t blame him, it’s not his fault that I’m worried about Diana.

“Batman, she is still on Earth, she hasn’t told me if she’s done with the fight. I don’t know anything else.” J’onn responded.

“J’onn are you positive or are you just sure? Because I need to know.” I asked, “Diana’s hasn’t come back from her mission? The news is saying she beat Cheetah and Devastation an hour ago. So where could she be?”

I was glad J’onn didn’t know about my feelings for Diana. I couldn’t make any advancements, not ruining my reputation. As Bruce, girls came to me, not the other way around. As Batman, I had no heart, I couldn’t have any emotions, I couldn’t feel.

“She is still on earth.” J’onn replied. “I’m not sure exactly where, but she’s down there. Call her, Batman.”

“Will do, J’onn.” I said, “Bye.” There was a pause as J’onn messed with something in the watchtower.

“Good luck, Batman.” he said, “Goodbye.” -click . Call over. I turned to the Bat Computer and was about to hit a few keys when Joker’s face appeared on the screen.

“Hello, Batsy.” he said with a sinister grin on his face, and I narrowed my eyes at him and frowned at him. “While you were looking for me, I was looking for your beau.”

“I don’t like anyone, Joker so you lose that battle.” I said, remaining stone cold but rolling my eyes at him, “So, who do you think is my beau, idjit?” Joker laughed, then stepped aside, revealing his prisoner, who was coughing up blood.

“Wonder Woman?” I asked, startled, then turned to the madman fighting to keep an angry expression off my face. “What do you want, Joker?”
