Grinning, he leaned forward, and Diana assumed he was about to bite her head off. Instead, they kissed, and the batthing switched hosts as their lips touched.

Despite all efforts not to think about it, Diana wondered how the couple managed sex. She could imagine it, but managed, through sheer willpower, not to dwell on the images that went through her head.

“You’ll excuse us,” said Peter.

When Stacey-thing turned around, he slapped her rump. The thing jumped hosts again, and Stacey giggled.

“Oh, Peter, you naughty boy.”

Diana smiled. The couple weirded her out, but they were also kind of sweet at the same time. Take away the bat-creature one of them always had to be, and they probably had the best relationship she’d seen in a long while. They seemed to enjoy each other’s company and were making the best of a tough situation. There was something special about that. Weird, but special.

She got up and caught Chuck as he came out of the bathroom.

“Hey, sorry about the monsters,” she said. “Don’t worry about it. You get used to that sort of thing around here. And you can’t really blame them for getting confused about how our reality works. Hell, I was born here, and I’m still figuring it out.”

He ran his hand through his hair, and a few strands fell across his forehead, cementing forever his resemblance to Superman for her. She’d always loved Superman. Never been a fan of the bad boy. The rock-solid, dependable good guy was underrated.

She caught herself staring into his brown eyes. They twinkled.

“You want to grab a drink?” she asked. “I hear Peter is a superb mixologist.”

“Don’t mind if I do.”

Bowing, he indicated he’d follow her, and when they walked he put his hand on her back. Not too high. Not too low. Just the right spot to indicate friendliness without familiarity.

You could keep Batman, she decided. She’d take the Boy Scout any day.
