What questions might they be?

"Hello, zatanna, it is good to see you!"

It wasn't but that is what saved lives in that case.

That much was apparent.

How is everyone today?

Tankers are taught that armour protects against enemy fire.

But they never expected it to fold to bare hands.

There is little else more soothing than falling asleep to the pitti patter of the rain outside.

Time to visit her favourite ice cream parlour. She is going to take her time.

It was not my intention to be cruel, my apologies if my remark hurt you.

A certain someone being front and center no doubt?

Just as she had proposed, the Amazonian princess gently picks the pen that was offered to deftly write her signature onto the plastic shield of her likeness.

"There, all done. I hope this is alright?"

-- doing nothing is a betrayal to myself and what I believe in. Nothing is worse than doing nothing when you can make a difference.

And when we succeed lives are saved.

No you just fall for the... Lines you feed yourself so you don't have to try. Because the hurt coming off of you is palpable, the proverbial flinching away from anything that is a connection.

Why expose yourself to other people when the stakes are so high? --

-- perplexity would explain the slightly raised eyebrow on the Amazon's face that lingered for just a brief moment before she answered.

"Where would you want me to sign? The shield seems like a good place."

People asking Diana to sign a memorabilia was not out of the ordinary, it was quite common actually. Sometimes it was a piece of clothing, a lunch box, a hat, or a poster.

What did come as unexpected was that the usually quite quiet son of Bruce Wayne would be the one asking.

That slight --

-- were we fail? To hide and close yourself off from everyone else because there might be hardship ahead?

I have more faith in people than that. And my faith has yet to be broken.

There it is, the disagreement that was bound to happen.

You don't need my pity nor would you want it nor would I offer any.

A hint to the topic we had earlier, about respect. Even if it's just the respect you pay yourself.

What would be the alternative? Not risk going out into the world --

Nobody said doing what we do is easy. On us or the people around us.

But every saved life is worth the hardship.

Because, and this is what people often forget, this is not the endgame..

We know we can't save everybody, that's what inspiration is all about. To teach people to save themselves

If he has indeed angered or offended her in any way shape or form, she didn't show it.

Her demeanor was as open and inviting as it always was.

"Yes... Damian, how can I be of assistance?"

-- People are flawed, but they are not inherently malicious. Their potential for good is all around us, we just tend to miss the everyday deeds that keep the darkness at bay.

You never know when a kind word may change the world.

Another topic we agree on. Harley should be well, and happy.

Why is that a problem? It's a world we all share. Me, you, Harley, your plants, we all just want to live and be happy.

And that's possible or not has not been decided until you try and try and try until you can try no more.

"A meeting at the UN, ice cream afterwards."

-- them is just as important?

She does, she is the best mother one could wish for, even if we are at odds with one another.

Given where she comes from I am glad that you managed to provide another option she was willing to take.

But what about people you you don't agree with, wouldn't you say that positively influencing --

My queen mother would agree with you on that.

That I might be... Stubborn to a fault. I learned that by example.

Have you tried being a positive influence?

It used to be and it can be again.

Why is the sun shining, the water fresh and the grass green, because that is who I am.

I try to be a positive influence, always.
