Hi, hello, bonjour!

Sorry it took so long,

I know it's bad but at least I'm finishing it.

Last thing I'll be posting on this account!

Hope you'll enjoy it anyway.

There was no reason to stay. Ness had done everything she could. She told everything she knew. What else could she do now but leave? She wasn't particularly fond of Gotham anyway, or of Metropolis for that matter. Even if she had always liked bats.

Sitting next to the Amazonian Demi-Goddess, Ness sighed and rolled her eyes at what she was seeing on the plane's TV.

"This… thing emerged from the Kryptonian crash site just moments ago. Thankfully though, the work day is over in the downtown core. It's nearly empty. Now military aircraft. Those are apache helicopters. They have now just arrived. The images that…"

Diana was silent as she carefully watched the events live on TV.

"Really?" Ness threw her hands in the air. "Of all the things, I don't see that one coming?" she said, looking up at the ceiling, as if she was asking the sky.

She heard the huge blast from the TV and brought her attention back on the host.

"We've, uh… We just lost connection with Metropolis 8 news. Now, it's not clear what just happened..."

"Take your bag," Diana said as she stood up.

Ness looked up at her and saw the determination on her face. She looked pissed too.

Ness rolled her eyes again. "Of course." On the bright side, she'd get to see Diana in action again.

They got up, took their bags and went for the exit.

"Excuse me?" a flight attendant called. "Excuse me? Miss Prince?" But there was nothing she could do. Nobody could stop these two women.

On their way to Metropolis, Ness tried to see the outcome of the fight. She wasn't worried about Diana, there wasn't much that could hurt the daughter of Zeus, but everything was black.

"I bet they're laughing," Ness said.

Diana raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What?"

"The Gods. All the shit they make me see… but not that? They send me visions of a bomb but not of a… a… whatever that thing is?"

"You need to respect the Gods, Nessie. They do things for a reason."

"I don't think they have reason…"

"I don't think Bruce Wayne has reason either… Why did they bring it back to the city?"

"You're asking me?"

Diana shook her head as she sighed.

"You're staying behind."

"As always."

"You'll only get hurt."

"I was agreeing with you," Ness chuckled.

"Good. I'll be back."

"As always."

It was business as usual in Paris. It was raining, but when was it never? Le Louvre was busy with people, and Diana Prince was in her office, working, as usual. She was looking over what seemed to be a very old shield, the kind a gladiator might have used, when a man in a suit entered the room with a briefcase in his hand. She smiled at him and thank him with a "merci" as she took it from him. She settled it on her desk and waited for the man to leave the room before she opened it. She was surprised by what was inside.

"Wayne Enterprise?"

Diana looked up as Ness joined her in her office. She had a pink lollipop in her hand, dressed all in leather, as usual. The heels of her boots tapped on the tiles as she approached the desk. The last time she wore those boots weren't so long ago, at a funeral. Ness took the piece of paper from the briefcase and read it out loud.

"I found the original. Maybe one day you'll tell me your story."

She then looked at what was inside the case. A photo. A very old photo. It looked familiar to her, she had seen it before. But never the original.

"Is that…"

"Yes," Diana nodded. "I remember that day… It's the day you were conceived," she said with a small smile.

Ness grimaced. "I didn't need that detail, mom."

Diana chuckled. "He would be so proud of you."

"I know. You keep telling me," she said as she put the lollipop back in her mouth and walked around the desk to stand in front of her mother.

Diana sighed as she put the picture back in the briefcase.

"You're leaving."

It wasn't a question, but she clearly wasn't thrilled about it.

"Yeah. Paris is boring. Too much rain."

"Where are you going?"

"Tokyo. And then… I'll see," she shrugged.

"Well… be careful."

"When am I never?" Ness grinned.

Diana chuckled again.

"I love you."

"Love you too, ma."
