This prompt feels a little "cliffs notes-y" but it's only because if you get the dynamic, you get it. I've got faith in you.
Diana: World's first "public" superhero as of six months ago. While she's called herself an "ambassador", she's clearly not interested in "negotiating" with the corruption and exploitation of Man's World. Within a couple of weeks, she's toppling third world dictators singlehandedly, and dangling pharmaceutical executives out of windows. She's very vocal about the corruption in Man's World needing to change yesterday before she changes it for them. The stock market has taken a nosedive, the economy is in freefall, the powers that be are freaking the fuck OUT.
As is tradition when a six-foot-something demigod* starts lecturing you about social justice.
Clark: The US government's silent partner. While he doesn't "work for them", he wants to give a light touch and give humanity a chance to find their own way towards enlightenment and peace. While the world isn't perfect, these kinds of things take time, and since he's not a politician, economist, or scientist, he doesn't want to cause more problems than he solves.
Not exactly the "boy scout" model Superman yet. Knows he's the strongest thing on the planet and isn't shy about it. Beneath the surface, anxious about his place in the world and what he means to society.
Setting: Clark and Diana are the only metahumans in this world. No Cyborg/Aquaman/Green Lantern/whatever.
Subplots: Depends on you - I don't want to get too specific about events before I know what you like. Some people would find Diana lifting the patriarchy by the neck to be fun and some would be more interested in the romance. But I've got multiple versions in my head depending on where the emphasis is:
- Lex Luthor working on some kind of nanotechnology that enhances people's strength for the right price.
- Something with braniac? or a collective like starro or the fold from marvel ultimate alliance? so something thematically about control/bending others to your will.
- Non or less powered heroes or villains having an "uprising" against the power couple (especially diana, being more heavy handed) and manipulating events to get them thrown out of society.
- Something involving the greek gods. Diana's mission is tied to ares or athena "passing judgement" on the world, which is why she's in such a rush to improve things.
- I could also see a version of this story where any problems are more or less a nuisance and it's 90% about their relationship.
- Maybe a more traditional semi-con mDom story but we'd have to talk about that.
TLDR: Superman is a center-left liberal and Wonder Woman is a radical feminist. More or less. They flirt, argue, save world. Despite all the wrinkles I'm throwing in here, I'm expecting this to go like a traditional Clark/Diana relationship, so if you're into that, it's your lucky day.
Also: OC's are no problem. If you want anything particular just PM me, I'm pretty chill.
