A is for Anatomy of a Man

Disclaimer: I do not own these characters.

This is my A-Z one shot challenge. I'm planning to go through each letter and find ways to integrate WonderBat into that! So, for my first chapter… I mean, thirsty Diana is always gold to read right? You don't have to read it, but this is kinda tied to my first story, called Endings and Beginnings! Here we go!

GOTHAM

She wanted to surprise him; she hasn't seen him in a couple of weeks now. He's not been able to help with League missions ever since a certain clown managed to release every inmate of Arkham.

After a few weeks of hell and chaos, and with the help of Nightwing and Batgirl, things were finally settling down. When she heard of the news that Joker and the rest of the inmates were back behind Gotham bars, she figured that she could finally give him a visit. He's not going to be happy once he finds out that she's in his city, but nothing's going to stop her now, this was the moment. This is the time to tell him how she feels, she remembers what Zatanna said to her a couple of weeks ago. It might be too late for me but it's not for you. The magician was right, life is too fragile for feelings to be left unsaid. What if something happened to Bruce during the last few weeks? What if Joker won this time? She shakes her head, not wanting to entertain that thought.

Something's changed in their relationship; the lingering glances, prolonged touches, the subtle flirting and the heated, thick tension that's in the air when they're alone with each other. She knows that he feels it too, he's just too stubborn to admit it. I'm a rich kid with issues. Lots of issues. She remembered what he said to her that night, she hated how she's willing to go all in but he's not even giving her the chance to go all in.

Whatever happens today, she's ready. She presses the doorbell, waiting for someone to open the door. J'onn offered to have her teleported to the Batcave, but she knew that there were times when Bruce would disable his teleporter, she wasn't going to risk it today.

Alfred opens the door, surprised to see the Amazon. "Miss Prince, I was not aware that Master Bruce was expecting you." the Butler said. "He's not expecting me, I'm here to update him on the things he has missed out on League business ever since the Joker fiasco."

"Of course." Diana notices the tiniest smirk on his lips when he said that. Did he not believe her?

He opens the door up for the Princess and lets her in. "Allow me to take you to him." Diana smiles as she enters the manor. She adores Alfred, without him Bruce would have probably died years ago. He leads her into the huge mansion, the architecture of Wayne Manor never ceases to amaze her.

"Master Bruce should be on the last room on the left, would you like me to bring you anything to drink Miss Prince?" He asked before going back the way they came. "Some tea would be great Alfred, thank you." She smiled at the butler as he slightly bows at her before he leaves. As she watches him walk away, she proceeds to go the room Bruce's in.

Before coming in, she knocks on the door and waits for a reply. Nothing. She knocks again before she slowly enters, not wanting to just barge into the room and interrupting whatever he was doing. The room was his personal gym, of course he has a personal gym. He's Bruce Wayne. She can hear him punching the bag. As she goes deeper into the room, she finally sees him. She froze at the sight of him.

"Hera." She whispered.

There was Bruce, sweaty and shirtless, wearing grey shorts that wraps around his strong muscular legs, has his earphones on and is listening to really loud music that even she can hear, no wonder he didn't hear her knocking. This is weird, good weird? This is something she's never really seen before. He looks so, domesticated. Like for a moment in his life, he's just a man working out, not carrying the entire city on his shoulders. Shoulders? Look at those firm shoulders and biceps, every move he does, they flex with such vigor.

She didn't notice that he was actually on his way towards her, she was too focused those arms. "Diana." He said. That voice she thought to herself. "What are you doing here?" He asks her as he puts his earphones out of his ear and into his pockets.

"What?" she asked, her thoughts are so scattered right now. Just a few minutes ago, she was hyping herself up about how nothing was going to stop her from her admitting her feelings to Bruce today, damn him for being so perfect and curse Alfred for just throwing her into this room, of course he knew Bruce was working out.

Bruce grabs a black tank top that was discarded to the ground, as he puts it on, his entire torso tightens, glistening in all its glory. He looks so perfect with his messy hair, his face and entire body is flushed and sweaty from working out, his tank top had the classic Wayne Enterprises logo and it was draped over his muscular form. Seeing him like this made her blush, her mind was failing her. This is not fair, she thought to herself. She is the Princess of Themyscira, daughter of Hippolyta, she should not be reduced to a drooling, bumbling fool. With whatever strength and willpower she had left, she was able to regain some composure and stands strong in front of this mortal man.

"What are you doing here?" He asks again, a smirk forming on his face. Those blue eyes are just piercing her soul. "Superman and the others wanted me to come here to update you on the things you missed the last few weeks." She focused on his face and on his eyes, not risking the chance of looking down on his majestic form again. He looks at her for a moment before answering, he takes one step towards her "You could have waited for me to return at the Watchtower." His voice went lower.

"I could have." She said as she was looking at his lips, also taking a step closer to him.

"You didn't have to go here."

"No. I didn't…." She said biting her lips. "But I needed to." She looks at his eyes again.

She hears him take a heavy sigh as she slowly holds one of his hands, was that a sigh of defeat? A sigh of acceptance of what's about to happen. Why was he not refusing her? Did something happen in the last few weeks that made him realize how he feels about her?

No more words were being said, lips inches apart from each other, she tilts her head and closes her eyes. She could feel his breath against her lips, his other hand caresses her face, he slowly leans in to—

"Bruce! I heard Wonder Woman is in-" Dick shouted as he came running into room. Bruce and Diana immediately stepped away from each other, a little too late she thought. Dick was speechless, knowing that he interrupted something.

"Oh. Hi Diana." He smiled sheepishly at the beautiful Amazon.

Bruce glared and scowled at his adopted son, not saying a word.

"I was just... I wanted to-" Dick was sweating, Diana has never seen him so scared like that, it was adorable that he's not immune to Bruce's wrath. "What didya say Alfred? Right now?" Dick shouted, pretending that Alfred was calling him.

"You know what.. nevermind. I gotta go, I think the old man needs me!" He said and ran as fast as he could leaving the two alone once again.

Silence and tension filled the room once again, both looking at each other intensely. Neither one doesn't know what to do, should they move forward or go back?

"Bruce listen—"

She felt his warm mouth against hers. Her eyes went wide, was this really happening? She sighs and runs her hands on his hair. How can a kiss be so gentle but also be so intense? He holds her so tenderly, shuffling them both closer, one of his hands at the curve of her waist and the other on her neck. Their lips clashing for dominance as each moment passes by, the desire was coursing through her entire body, causing her to lose balance but she wraps her arms on his neck. He tasted amazing; how can one man be so perfect?

He pulled away and places his forehead against hers, both grasping for air. "Don't stop now." She said with a husky voice, afraid that he's regretting this moment.

"Not here." She heard him whisper.

"Then where?" She smiles.

He smiles back at her and grabs her hands; he leads them out of the room.
