Why this must be read:
Once upon a time, there was an episode called "Maid of Honor," in which Princess Diana met Princess Audrey and they bonded immediately. They went shopping. They went dancing. They parted at sunrise on the top of the Eiffel Tower. Then Audrey married someone else and Diana threw a tank through the church wall at the "Does anyone here object" part. The subtext? Not very subtle.
As I've mentioned before, there exists a canonical AU in Justice League canon, dubbed the Lorderverse. In this story, June examines the alternate universe Diana and the alternate universe Audrey, and what they have together in a world where Diana and her friends control everything. Heartbreaking and brittle, this is a short (2000 words) look at what might have been.
They are playing this game and Diana does not care.
Audrey opens all the shops that are already closed by a simple ring of a cell phone or a waving of a hand. Diana wonders why that, even though Audrey has been living in luxury for so long now, she's lost more weight than before, but she doesn't ask, and Audrey doesn't volunteer information. They buy shoes and skirts and rent a few movies before returning home in the limo, in which Audrey rests her head against Diana's tall shoulder and pronounces it too boney.
The night goes fast. Diana watches Audrey curl her hands into her own hair and then Diana's, later, in Audrey's hotel room. This is a visit that she had to plan months ahead. This is a visit that she had to get authorization for -- to come out of costume -- to be here. Bruce was the one who gave her the codes and told her to have a good time. Not in those words. Diana doesn't know whether Bruce is capable of those words -- not when he's in the cowl -- but she knows him well enough to know that for that moment, right there, he had been Bruce, not Batman, and that she had been Diana, not Wonder Woman.
She hasn't seen Tim for months. She's afraid to ask.
"Audrey," she murmurs, trying to pace herself against Audrey's thin, pink lips and thick, pink tongue that tastes like alcohol. It had never been this rushed, this furtive with her sisters. Never.
