Drabble: Trust

Title: Trust
Rating: PG
Characters: Diana, Bruce, Clark

Author's Note: For my Trinity table at dcu_freeforall. Prompt of Trust. Betaed by the awesome mithen!



Everyone said that Bruce wasn't trustworthy. Diana had to admit she did know why they said that, had moments of doubt herself, and yet... And yet, she was always reminded that Bruce was one of the most trustworthy people she knew, the most trusted man, with the exception of Clark.

They were both more than trustworthy; two brothers standing at her side, with absolute trust in her. While Bruce would sometimes, in the bleakest times, act otherwise, say that he didn't trust her or Clark, Diana knew it was a lie. Even if he told it to himself, regarded them with suspicion, if they ever did or said anything that confirmed those suspicions... Some part of Bruce would break.

Diana sighed, then smiled as she saw Clark and Bruce enter the room together, Clark talking, Bruce nodding in response. Clark's openness was a balm to Bruce's soul, weary after having to doubt nearly everyone, the lasso on her hip reminding her, reminding them all, that they should stay truthful to each other, and never allow the trust they held for each other to be broken.

Awwww... Just lovely. They definitely have a bond that a lot of people just don't.

Yay! I'm really glad you liked it! :D

Bruce, Clark and Diana really do have a special bond. :)

Thank you for commenting! :D

Excellent, Star!

Diana's very insightful here as to Bruce's trust. He would be broken if his trust was betrayed, a vulnerability that of course he tries to keep hidden.

And Clark as a balm to Bruce's soul is so true!

Seeing Truth all the time isn't easy, but Diana can do it! :)

And those two are her brothers! :)

Yay! I'm really glad you liked it, Brady! :D

*grins* I think that was my favorite bit! Along with Diana calling Bruce and Clark her brothers. :)

Thank you for commenting! :D

It's such a special relationship!

I hope you'll consider posting this to wonderwomanlove. It's told from Diana's POV so it fits. We don't have a lot of gen fic over there! ;)

I am so, so bad at remembering to post at communities! I shall do that in a minute, thank you for reminding me! :)

Aww! I love this - great little study of character. (hopefully that makes some sense...it did in my tired French brain)

And I really like how you describes what she sees when they enter the room, and what it means/reminds her about. :)

Excellent work!!

Yay! I'm really glad you liked it! And that made perfect sense! :)

Diana is very good for observations like this, I find. I wish I could write her more often!

Thank you for commenting! :D

Aw, I can picture that scene!

Such a nice take on the prompt! Poor Bruce, I feel so bad for him and his ingrained (and necessary!) inability to trust...it can be so tiring...

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm really glad you liked it! :D

*huggles Bruce* At least, with Diana and Clark, he can let his guard down a bit. *huggles him again*

Thank you for commenting! :D

Bruce definitely would break if one of his trusted people broke his trust in them. I can just imagine what would happen if Alfred or Dick broke his trust... That's too depressing to think about.

On a happier note: Great fic! And character insight!

Oh, he would. If Alfred or Dick broke his trust... wow... that would really, really, really not be good. *shivers*
