"So this Jimmy...how long did you date him?" Dick inquired.

"Uhm...now's not really the right time to be asking me that!" I cry in reply, jumping out of the way and barely escaping wonder woman's attack.

"I'm just saying, if it was a couple days or months, you could just call it out, no biggie" Dick shrugged, standing well within safety distance on the side lines.

"Kara! FOCUS!" Diana yells at me.

"Trying!" I shout back.

Now, was I ecstatic that Dick was asking me these things? I was over the moon!

Do I appreciate him asking me this while I was having my spontaneous sparring sessions with Wonder Freaking Woman!??

Hell no.

Just then Diana's lasso catches me by the shoulders, she pulls on tight, binding the golden rope around me and flinging me through the air.

This is gonna hurt! I rapidly think as I soar through the air and slam into the concrete ground head first.

"Soooooo, was it 2...4 weeks? Or are we talking 3 to 6 months?" I'm pushing myself back up and see Dick kneeling on this tip toes before me. I fight back the urge to growl at him.

"I'm not done with you yet!"

I feel the rope around me tug and I'm yanked back violently.

"Are you really going to let a man distract you so easily Kara?" Diana taunts.

As I tumble backwards it finally hits me, Dick was part of the sparing lesson! Diana brought him in as a distraction!!

And the realization of that...made me mad.

As I was being yanked back I broke the momentum and forcefully flew upwards, the change in momentum caught Diana off guard she tips forward. I use that slight window of opportunity and yank her by her rope which she held onto. I pull up, twirl her in a 360° degrees circle and flung her in Dick's direction.

Fully dressed in his Night Wing costume, cause Batman would never allow otherwise, Dick jumps out of the way just in time as Diana slams into the wall behind him.

She immediately peels herself off the wall, "Nice move," she grins up at me. "But you got lucky"

I see the emotion get wiped from her face as she leaps towards me, the amazon warrior taking control. She cocks back right arm and slams her fist into me.

I barely manage to block the blow as I'm launched backward from the force of the impact. I fake being immobilized for 5 seconds as I sailed towards the ground. But right before I hit the floor I flip under my back and flying down low to the ground with lightning speed as I come up from under Diana. I hit her back and send both of us into the roof.

"Not luck, skill" I say cockily as I flew away from her, folding my hands and floating confidently.

"I've taught you well." Diana praised.

She dislodged herself from the roof and nods towards me. That made me squeal with delight and fly over to hug her.

Wonder Woman's approval! What an honor!

Most of a sparing matches end with her winning, obviously, but only just recently did I start to get the upper hand on her.

"Wooooohooooo! Go Kara!" Dick cheered from below.

We both flew down arm-in-arm towards him.

"Thanks for assisting us today," Diana tells Dick.

"Anytime." he replied cheerily, puffing out his chest.

I glare at him and give him a super punch in the shoulder, sending him flying the rest of the way across the training arena and slamming besides the door.

He slides back down to the ground and groans, "I deserve that..."

"You bet your ass you do," I hiss down at him as I flew over.

I begin to reach out my palm to get scanned and open the door when it immediately swung open of its own will.

Batman came walking through with all the seriousness in the world. He liked to act as if the very fate of humanity hung in the balance off his shoulders.

Asshole prick. I though venomously, and was glad M'gann was too far away to listen in to my thoughts.

But I'm not. I hear her uncle, Martian Manhunter, say instead.

"Gaaaaaaaaaah!!!" I cry out, slapping my hands over my ears and having those around me look at me like I was a lunatic. "What is with you Martians and lack of privacy!"

Apologies, I was just instructed by Batman to keep an eye on your personal thoughts.

I freeze up and I feel my vision begin to blur red as I look at the man in question.

Control yourself, control yourself, control yourself, I chant over and over to stop me from cooking the nosy bat on the spot.

"I assume Martian Manhunter has already told you what I had him do" Batman says to me in that his dark, calm yet gravelly voice.

"Yes" I hiss out through barely restrained fury.

"Huh?" Dick looked confused.

"Does it have anything to do with the mission?" Diana asked, approaching Batman slowly.

"Affirmative" Martian Manhunter says as he phases like a ghost through the walls, making himself visible to the room even though the doors were right there and open just two feet to the left.

Ghost mode...I think humorously to myself. Then instantly try to stifle the thought as I realized I was being observed.

Gah! How does one possibly stop themselves from thinking!??? I begin to panic.

"Relax Miss Kent" Martian Manhunter says to me in that slow speaking tranquil voice of his. "I will not pry into any of your personal thoughts. I am well aware of how personal and private humans' feelings can be, and how much they wish to not have it revealed, especially those dealing with love-"

"AAAAAAAAAH!" I cry out in alarm. "Nope, no, no, noooooooo"

I wave my hands around for emphasis and as a distraction so I don't think of my love/huge crush for-

"Get out of my head!" I begin to beg. "Pleeeeeeease" I get on my knees in front of him.

"We need him to keep an eye on you" Batman simply says.

"For what?" Dick asked.

"Whatever it is I'll do it without complaint if you switch out Martian Manhunter for M'gann!" I plead.

Diana, Batman and Martian Manhunter exchange looks for a moment.

"It could still work" Diana says with a dismissive shrug.

"Alright" Batman folds his arms. "J'onn disconnect the link. And instruct Miss Martian to be here within 3 mins"

"On it" Martian Manhunter says and disappears away through the steel walls.

I give a sigh of relief as I feel myself being alone again in my mind.

"Diplomacy should be your new vocation," Diana says sarcastically, placing a hand on her hips.

"I try." Batman replies.

"I'm sorry, but did you just try to be humorous!?" I say in shock.

"He has his moments" Dick says as he walks up next to me and lays an arm on my shoulder.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiik!!! I squeal in delight in my head.

Now you see? I couldn't be able to do or think like that with Martian Manhunter lurking around in my head.

"Batman" Dick began to say with all seriousness, "What did Kara just agree to?" he asked on my behalf.

Omggggg! He's so sweeeeeeeeeeet! I coo affectionately on the inside.

"She just agreed to accompany you on a secret deadly reconnaissance mission" Batman says.

"I'm sorry what?" I say dumbfoundedly.
