It's apparently Batman Day, so Happy Batman Day.

White lenses narrowed as they took in what was before them. They turned towards the others, more specifically the smiling Amazon who was the obvious culprit for this.

"What is all of this, Princess?" asked the deep voice of the Batman.

"Bruce, you do so much for us and you never ask for anything in return. This is just our way of showing our appreciation for everything you've done!" chirped Diana as she made her way over the Dark Knight.

Batman turned back to the others, his gaze still narrowed with a silent demand for answers.

"Diana made a pretty good argument when she came to us with this idea," replied John Stewart as he pointed at the blue, black, and yellow decorations and cake.

"And you of all people know how hard it is to say no to Wondy, Bats," added Flash, earning the young hero a Bat Glare.

"Is it too much, Bruce?" asked Superman, looking worried.

"It shouldn't have happened at all, Kent," growled Batman. "Now step aside. I need to get back to Gotham."

Wonder Woman gave off a pout. "Bruce, can't you be appreciative for once? We're your friends and worked really hard on this. Besides, you can't go back to Gotham."

"And why is that, Princess?" questioned Batman, turning to the princess.

"I've already informed Alfred about this and he agreed that you deserve this. He's already contacted Nightwing, Batgirl, and Robin to have them watch over Gotham for a few hours," explained Diana. It was her turn to receive the Bat Glare, but she was immune to it.

"You did what?" demanded Batman.

"Don't worry, Bruce. They'll still contact you if there's an emergency, but Alfred really wants you to spend time with your friends once in a while."

Batman scowled as he stared down the princess, who didn't back down. She was determined to get him to enjoy this party. Seeing that he wasn't going to get out of this, he relented with a sigh.

"Hand me a knife so I can cut the cake."

Diana beamed at her Knight as she met him over at the cake where the others were waiting.

"Thank you for going along with this, Bruce," whispered Diana as Batman passed out slices of cake. "Love you."

"I love you too, Princess."
