A fight with the Justice League would only paint both of them as villains and give their enemies easy opportunity to attack them; Diana had acted brashly in the past and it had cost her a deal of reputation before. Although she didn’t [i]care[/i] what people thought of her, in the last year she had done some sharp thinking on how to become more aware of the consequences of her own actions and how the public perspective was not as unimportant as she once believed. In their world there was many ways of combat and it wasn’t so simple that all she needed to do was do good to be seen as heroic in her ideology. The machinations of modern politicians, journalists, and other personalities were those that she needed to keep in mind even if she thought little of them and was confident in herself.

There were questions screamed at both of them, but only one journalist had the teeth to cut through the crowd. Diana admired the tenacity, but she had little patience for reporters a fact she telegraphed to Superman with a nod and a glance. [color=D14F43][b]“I’ll let you handle this. When you are finished meet me in the usual spot, there is more to the conversation that I imagine you do not want being overheard.”[/b][/color] Diana lowered her voice into a hushed whisper.
