( that's absolutely playful sarcasm, Bruce. I wonder where she learned that from. she's more serious about the idea of returning home. )
I miss my family, my sisters. Yet every day I spend away from them, I come to realize I am cut from a different cloth. I would not be able to return to the girl I was, not anymore.
Do you think they might come out of hiding someday?
[ It's a more personal question than he's asked — the others are all to assess what kind of place Themyscira is. Out of all their number only Diana came into the world — if she returns there, it would be to see her mother and sisters. Never permanently, she can't turn away from a world that needs her. ]
[ But the others, maybe in a few hundred years. Maybe. They might join her. She's as capable of drawing the best out of others as Clark is. ]
There is a man here that claims my mother one day leaves Themyscira.
( hard for Diana to comprehend, when it'd been suggested. now... )
My mother has fought for our freedom already, a hard battle won. She has found that freedom, and will fight to protect it. If that required leaving, she would.
( Hippolyta would no longer fight for men. for her people, though, she would always fight. )
[ If they were at home, he might have wondered if the Amazons wished to join hands to protect the world. But — false hope. Most of it looked like that. ]
You and I were trying to bring people together, before I woke up here.
[ He sighs quietly. ]
Strange to think we don't yet know if it worked. I would have hoped.
( they would fight to protect Themyscira, but beyond that... no such luck. a fact that would disappoint her as much as her mother's refusal to fulfill their duty had. )
I have never known you to give up, Bruce. Neither do I.
( she thinks that if they tried, then they'd keep trying. and if they had each other, that counted as together, whether he wanted to qualify it as such or not. )
[ Some things are above his pay grade. Determination and will cannot make choices for others. He can leverage anyone he likes — but Bruce doesn't believe in those tactics. A team that resents each other will never function effectively. And — it's not what Clark would do. ]

I think we'll get along.
[ He's counting down the seconds until she throws him out of a window lbr here. Rightly, there's not a lot that'd endear him to Hippolyta. ]
Would you go back to Themyscira, if you could?

I'll let you get back to what you were doing. Take care, Diana.

( what kinda amazon would she be if she slacked off on her training? idk, probably the exact same kind, but shh )
Fare well, my friend.
( she's got more training to get to! )
