---

Diana Prince has posed:
Tonight at the Hall of Justice a gift giving event is taking place. A number of Justice League affiliated heroes are on-hand to hand out presents to guests, most of who fall under the category of under-privledged. But really it's just a chance to give back to the community, and have young ones come to the Hall of Justice to meet various members of the JLA, and other Heroic communities.

Diana has been at it for awhile now, dressed in her full armored attire that has become world renown in her years of public service. With her lasso coiled up at her side, her gladiator-styled armor glinting in the ambient light of the well decorated Hall of Justice main room, Diana wanders from one group to another, meeting and greeting. She offers handshakes, hugs, and even pictures with anyone wishing to take a bit of photographic evidence that they'd met Wonder Woman.

There are roughly two hundred people here at the present moment, with a steady flow of more coming, and some leaving, it is a busy affair, but the Hall of Justice public level offers a number of tourist-friendly options from cafes to museums all about the Heroes of the world, and their history throughout it.

Diana takes a picture with a group of children, before wishing them well, along with their parents. The group strides off together to go and experience other sights and activities at the event tonight.

Molly Hayes has posed:
Molly Hayes volunteers in the way she always does at giveaways, charity events and basically any sort of function where lots of people show up. She helps. Molly's a helper, first and foremost, before she became a superhero. Her powers just make the ways that she can help even better.

She offers her strength wherever she can, helping to carry packages, showing off for some kids, just being a bright and shining wholesome young woman. She hasn't settled on a full costume yet, so she just wears one of her trademark animal hats, this one a squirrel, and a pair of overalls with a yellow shirt. She looks kind of like a Pokemon trainer.

She sticks close to Singularity, who is her friend and also here today, figuring it'll be easier to have somebody to hang out with afterwards when she wants to go get all the pie.

Singularity has posed:
When she was observing the Heroes Assembled universe, before she had form, Singularity had always been drawn to large gatherings. Especially when superheroes were involved. The Hall of Justice was one of her favorite places to watch before the Alien Alliance attack on the world prompted her to take form.

So she's always wanted to return. And sensing so many people at the location, the little universe was hopeful that maybe it was a meeting of many of those that protect this reality. She loved meeting new people.

So when Molly told her what was going on tonight, Singularity was happy to tag along. She appears in the form of a young woman - at least by definition. Bright white eyes, pert nose, hair that runs down her back. Every bit of her appears to be cut from the cosmos and given the form of a girl. She could probably pass at Molly's pokemon.

"Could have teleported!" she points out. She had teleported them from GIRL, but she feels like she could have gotten them much closer.

Floating next to Molly, the young woman swirls around, her hands tucked behind her back and taking it all in. "It's all so pretty!"

Diana Prince has posed:
Diana considered herself to be observant, and she'd observed the happy way that Molly was helping with the gift giving. She hadn't had a chance to approach her yet, but that chance was nigh!

A moment after Singularity declares everything to be so pretty, Diana's voice chimes in to their left. "I agree." She says, with a glance given to the well decorated Hall of Justice 'main hall' With a large 15 foot tree at the center-piece, shining brightly, adorned with multi-colored lights and a wide array of decorations of all kinds. Naturally the tree is a center-piece, and a lot of people are taking photos around it, along with the Santa Claus who is providing a healthy amount of 'Ho ho hos' to everyone who comes to greet him.

"You both are doing well tonight, I hope?" Wonder Woman now asks of both Molly and Sing, a warm smile gracing the features of her face, her long dark hair loose about her otherwise bare shoulders. "We have had quite a crowd tonight, I hope that you are not wearing down. I think we might be here awhile yet." She states in her friendly, calming, voice that is laced with a deep themysciran accent.

Molly Hayes has posed:
Molly Hayes grins at Singularity, putting her hands on her hips, "Yeah, I know, but, like, walking is part of the fun. It's the journey. I learned that when I was a runaway. Not that I recommend running away. Nobody run away, okay?" she says, to confused glances from passing children.

Then Wonder Woman is talking to her. To Singularity and to her. And she knows there are words there but she's there in her armor and yeah she met Superman once and he was even nice to her but this was different this was.

"WONDER WOMAAAAAAN!!!!" she yells.

Then realizes what she just did.

"OhmygodI'msosorry."

Singularity has posed:
When Diana speaks up, Singularity glances over. Then there's a squeak of surprise that turns into a squeal of delight. "Hello!" comes the peppy greeting and when she speaks, one could hear the meleody of the universe in her tone, the light bells and the pleasant cosmic wind that blows across this planet and so many others.

The starfields that make up the young woman swirl. The galaxies move, spread, the stars dancing across her skin. A nebula spreads across her cheeks of warm reds and purples.

"I Am Singularity!" she greets brightly, when she speaks, her tongue is the same periwinkle as her portals, the white expanse that forms her mouth. "I am a singularity." comes the rapid fire explanation. "You are Wonder Woman! I saw you fight back the Alien Invasion. Was so excited and worried. You won with the others! Made me want to leave cosmos. Be heroine too!" She bounces in excitement, the hair she has flowing wildly about her.

Molly's yell just seems to excitement as she tells her. "Friend Nico. Was Runaway too. Left her in other reality. I miss her." she confesses softly. But this is a happy occasion.

Diana Prince has posed:
the excited reactions that Diana garners from the two of them, by simply being... causes the Princess to show a more entertained expression across her features. She does raise her brows ever so slightly above her attentive eyes, sweeping her stare from Molly, to Sing, and back again. "Hello to you both." She states, before her right hand is extended to Molly, her palm wrapped in a rich leather half-glove that leaves her fingers bare. She'll offer a shake to Singularity too, moments after Molly's.

"It is a honor to meet you both. I am very glad you managed to make it out tonight, the more the merrier, as they say." She adds with a slight grin playing across her crimson hued lips.

"Are you both living here in Metropolis? I take it you are local Heroes?" She inquires, as her gaze dances from one of the young women to the next. She nods to Singularity. "I like the stars." She compliments, before grinning to Molly, and pointing at her head. "And your hat." She equally offers compliments, continuing to hold that happy air about her persona, exuding a kindness that she's well known for.

Molly Hayes has posed:
Molly Hayes smiles, "Um, sorta, I kinda...bounce around a little bit. Kind of got a wandering spirit," she says. "I try to go wherever I can do the most to help. And I know a lot of strong bad guys come around here and I wanna test my strength against them!" she says. Cute young woman she might be, but she's got a warrior's spirit, too.

She nods at Singularity, "Yeah, Nico's one of my oldest friends. She's got magic. You're magic, too, you're magic cause you're...you're Wonder Woman," she says.

She hides her face against Singularity's shoulder for a second, a sharp whisper, "holycowitswonderwoman!", then swallowing and standing up straight. Focus, Molly. Focus. Grown up now.

"I'm Molly Hayes. I go by Princess Powerful," she says. She was considering changing it to Bruiser, but for Wonder Woman? For Wonder Woman, she wanted to be Princess Powerful.

Singularity has posed:
Singularity gives Molly a squeeze of reassurance when she leans into her, and the young universe considers thoughtfully. "Have always wanted to meet Amazonians. They were so brave and valiant. Wanted to be like one. Molly is very strong too!" she comments, willing to prop up her friend.

"I can teleport. From here. Anywhere." she explains. "Manipulate gravity. Pull and hold things inside me." There's a bright smile. "And make energy blasts. That seems to be the one that helps me being helpful!" she admits with a roll of her shoulders.

"I think Molly would like your autograph!"

Diana Prince has posed:
A small group of event goers pass by the trio, all of them offering Diana greetings, and waves. Diana responds to them with a wave of her own, and a parting goodbye for them as they seem to be on their way toward the Hall's exit arches.

She looks back to the pair before her, grinning yet still at them both. She nods softly a pair of times when Molly introduces herself. "I like that title." She tells her in an encouraging way. "I believe I have seen you around before too." She adds, before her gaze returns to Sing. She tilts her head ever so slightly toward her. "Well, that is quite a selection of abilities. I hope that they have been serving you well, and in-turn you have found ways to help others through them. If you enjoy the Amazons, I would recommend you stop by the Themysciran Arts Center in Manhattan some time. We have roughly 200 living there now, helping spread Amazonian culture through our arts and customs. It is quite a festive atmosphere, and helps bring a taste of Themyscira to the Mortal World."

She glimmers another playful expression and leans forward slightly for a second. "Though I think people like to watch the fighting and sparring, more than the pottery classes." She states before straightening again.

At the mention of an autograph, Diana laughs openly before she tilts her head at Molly. "Is this true?" She inquires. A look is given to someone in the distance, Diana catching their eyes. The young woman moves toward where the trio are, and she offers Diana a small wooden box, engraved with Themysciran lettering along its top. Diana turns then, and offers it to Molly. "Here. Perhaps this will be something better..." She states, providing the gift to Molly. "For your help here tonight."

Inside the box are a set of metal bracers and a tiara that mimmicks Diana's own. "They are not exactly the same as my own, or my sisters' , mind you, but they are made from Amazonium metals. They are meant to be a Welcoming gift to those interested in Themysciran culture, and promoting it to others around the world. Should you wish to have them, wear them with the promise that you will spread love, kindness, and care to all those you meet."

Molly Hayes has posed:
Molly Hayes blushes rosy cheeked as Singularity calls her out and then she really is getting a gift from Diana. She gasps at what she sees inside, "Oh my gosh! That's so amazing. I...I...ohmygodthankyousomuch!" she says. She isn't going to jump up and down and squeal like a tea kettle, no she's not, but she wants to, she really really wants to. But she's already fangirled way too hard and if she does it again, Diana's going to think she's a total goober and snatch back her amazing gifts and oh gosh

She gently tries them on, bracers first and then the tiara, managing to tuck it carefully on top of her hat, "I'm going to have to figure out this headgear situation?" she says, looking upwards.

"Can I give you a hug?" she says, "I always reassure people I'll be careful but I guess...I guess I couldn't really hurt you anyways. Not that I would!"

Singularity has posed:
"Would not mind. Learning pottery. Spending time with. Curious about them And I want to visit. And learn." Singularity responds, as she moves, those stars contained within her mass stay put for the most part. And she did shake Diana's hand earlier. Though she is cool to the touch if she felt it with bare skin.

"I want to learn much about this world. Kara said she would introduce me to experiences." she explains, a bright smile coming to her face.

"I will come by the cultural center. Visit. Explore. Learn. I am only with G.I.R.L. Not sure where my place is. Yet. I. Will. Learn." Of this she seems determined, but she pauses her rambling as Molly slips on her new gifts. "Want me to hold box?" she asks. If Molly agrees, she takes the box and just pushes it into her chest, past the membrane, which ripples before it disappears within the starfield. "You look very cute. Molly."

Diana Prince has posed:
Needless to say Diana is all grins at seeing Molly's reaction to the gift, and watching her slip them on. She laughs in a bubbly sort of way when the tiara is positioned over the hat that adorns the younger one's head already. she nods softly then, before smiling again. "Hugs are welcome." She states, spreading her arms apart to invite the other in for such a gesture.

When it comes, Diana's assistant steps off to the side, and raises up her camera to take a photo. She states that the photos will be posted online, and can be sent to any personal inbox that Molly might want too.

Diana's concern is more just returning the hug though, and smiling to what Singularity states. "Have you had a chance to stop by the Titans, and interact with them yet?" She asks curiously as she gives Molly's back a light pat, before pulling back from the hug. "My sister, Donna Troy, is the team leader, and they are an eager bunch, ever the helpful ones at welcoming newcomers, as well as helping them experience our world. They are primarily young heroes too, making it a ideal fit in many cases, at least. I do fully recommend them, and they do have three Amazons within their ranks, which would allow another outlet of learning more about my people."

Molly Hayes has posed:
Molly Hayes embraces Diana fully but carefully, giving a firm squeeze that might've been a little too strong on a mortal. She's not going to cry, she's definitely not going to cry. Hold it together, Molly. You've fought monsters. You punched a kaiju in the knee. You caught a skyscraper once.

She swallows and steps back after the picture, clasping her hands together at her waist.

"I haven't really yet. The Titans are amazing! I would...I would be...I would like to meet them all!" she says. She's definitely a little overwhelmed, but in the best kind of way. For all of her struggles through her adolescence, trying to survive on the road, afraid and with only her friends...and now here she is standing before Wonder Woman with one of her newest besties and she's just so darn happy.

Singularity has posed:
When the photog comes over to take a picture, Singularity shows a hint of her mischevious side as she comes up behind Molly and kind of lingers in the background, before making a pair of starry bunny ears over Molly's hatted head. And she bends out enough to be in the picture, a bright smile on her face.

"Kara suggested bringing me to them. Also suggested Justice League. Considering power set. Can travel dimension. And time." she explains. "But will visit. Meet your sister. The others. I want to make friends. Though I am only young in look." A thoughtful pause. "I have existed. For as long as. Cannot put into words. Have always been aware. Since all was created."

She moves back to be next to Molly, staying close to be supportive so she doesn't dissolve into a puddle of eees.

Diana Prince has posed:
another laugh escapes from between Diana's red hued lips. She nods her head a few small times before she glances to her assistant who steps back with the camera. "Perhaps we should let Donna know that we have two here who could use a tour of the Titan's tower." She says to her aid who shows a smile and gives a nod.

diana looks back to Singularity then and there. "It sounds as though you have a very unique story..." She says in a kind way. "I am glad to have gotten a chance to meet you then."

She glances between them both, and once more offers a warm expression toward them. "I will make sure to let Donna know that you might stop by. Kara, Supergirl I assume, is quite a guide to have in this world though. she... herself... is relatively new to Earth. She is a sweet soul, warm as the rays of the sun itself..."

Diana casts another look toward the tall Christmas tree, and the people gathered around it. She can see a number of hopeful eyes looking her way, wanting a chance to speak and most assuredly take more photos. When she looks back to Molly and Sing, she grins softly. "I should probably keep up my public face. Will you two be sticking around much longer?" She asks. "I know we certainly need the help around here."

Diana's assistant places a sharpie marker out to the Princess, who glances at it. she accepts it with another little chuckle before she offers to sign one of Molly's bracers with it. "You have to make sure not to smudge this now.." She says in a light tease.

Molly Hayes has posed:
Molly Hayes extends her arm to be signed, managing to keep it together. She was excited at the idea of making new friends, friends who understood what it was like to be different in these strange and sundry ways. Although Molly would never be as different as Singularity. She smiles as her friend explains more of her nature. "I say you're young by the standards of...whatever it is you are, exactly!" she grins. "You have a youthful spirit. You are definitely not a Boomer," she says teasingly. "Er, not that you are, your highness!" she says, turning her head rapidly back to Diana.

"I look forward to meeting her. Them. The Titans," she says. She looks over at Singularity and smiles, "I think I might actually have to get a costume designed now..."

Singularity has posed:
"Yes. Kara Zor-El. She has said that she will show me around. Go on dates." Singularity comments with a bright smile and a bob of her head in happy excitement as her cheeks get those nebulas again. A blush, maybe?

As Diana is pointing out that she needs to go back to what she's doing, the young universe perks. "It was nice to meet you. Meet again? Friend? If you are friend. Can teleport to you if I can sense you." she explains.

She has learned to make that clarification. Some people do not want to be teleported to by a little pocket universe.

"Would like to see your costume. Molly!" comes Sing's responds, this from the young woman that is all universe, no clothing. And there is a giggles. "Diana does not go boom. We can stick around. Help."

Diana Prince has posed:
As the Themysciran Princess signs the bracer with 'From one Princess to another' along with her name, she laughs softly at what the other two say. "My sisters certainly are much more willing to label me with the 'Boomer' title..." She says with a feigned level of frustration lacing her tone then.

She caps the marker, and offers Molly's shoulder a light squeeze before she smiles toward Singularity.

"I would be honored for you to consider me a friend. Point of fact, in what we face in this world, and beyond... I need all the friends I can get." She adds with a small smirk chasing her words there.

She looks between the two of them then, and grins again. "There is Amazonian armor crafting at the Forge at the Arts Center..." She offers the sharpie back to her assistant. "You will find that I am ever trying to prmote the place." She says softly with another little laugh accompanying those words.

with a slight nod then, she turns. "I better get back to it. I will try to find you again to say goodbyes before the evening is out." A little wave is given then as the Princess starts toward that group of guests that were anxiously awaiting her, and she is soon engaged in hugs and photos with the youngest of the group.
