He nods and the people taking photos seem not to phase him. Seems like he's used to this sort of treatment back home, too. "That'd be a great help."
Then, putting away his shield and extending a hand, he offers up his information. "I'm Steve, by the way. Steve Rogers. It's nice to meet you." He flashes her a smile and looks to be much more relaxed now, that the immediate danger has passed.
She watches as he puts away his shield and extends his hand. American, that
much was obvious. But then he introduces himself as Steve. Her breath
catches just a little bit. She's met many Steves over the years. Plenty
that were blue eyed and blond and noble like her Steve.
"How bold to give your identity so easily and publicly, Steve Rogers," she
replies with a smile of her own.
She takes his hand and shakes it, considering how to best introduce
herself. They were out of the shadows now. At least, she is. Bruce did like
to brood in his little cave. Diana lets go and places a quick message to
Bruce and Victor regarding the clean up and analysis. On cue, black Wayne
Enterprise trucks start to roll in and part the crowd with Victor at the
wheel of one of them. She nods to her friend, smiling and waving at his
stoic face. She turns to Steve again.
"My identity's not a secret at home," he explains. "Though if yours is, I don't need a name. Codename might be nice, just so I have something to call you." He seems rather nonchalant about this, but honestly, his identity is really heavily tied to his real name, and while he respects anyone who needs to keep it a secret, it's also not as big of a thing. He supposes the only one who he doesn't really know is Spider-Man, but he's not going to pry.
He nods and then greets Cyborg as well, introducing himself, even taking his cowl off. His hair is messy, but he shakes it back into place.
"So who else is on your team?" he asks, because it's very apparent that she doesn't work alone. That makes sense, for extra-dimensional threats, he'd also call in his teammates.
A fan shouts from the crowd and she chuckles as she hears the camera
flashes. She waves back at them. As soon as the creature is safely in the
truck, she pulls the lasso of Hestia back toward her.
"Batman, Superman, Aquaman," she chuckles softly, just thinking of their
ragtag group that came together. "Flash, and, of course, Cyborg."
Aliases were safer in public. Especially for Bruce and Clark who valued
their privacy.
"Tell me, Steve Rogers, have you ever swung through a cityscape?"
Wonder Woman. Well, the moniker does seem to be very fitting from where Steve's standing. "Guess you guys must be the Avengers of this world," he says, as if Avengers is a general term that people use to give their superhero teams.
"And uh- no, don't think I ever took Spider-Man up on that offer. Why?" Is that a thing Diana does? Is that an offer? Because he can't fly, so he does need a ride, but uh, this also seems like a good time for him to just take the bus.
That is, if they accept dollars here. And if the inflation is similar to how it is back home.
"Avengers?" she asks, eyes squinting a little. Diana smiles a little at how
he'd been offered before. Perhaps not the best way to transport him. "Come,
we'll take the more conventional way of travelling."
With the crowd mostly distracted by Cyborg and the team cleaning up the
mess, Diana guides him down the alley where her clothes were kept and tugs
him along to where her car is.
"This Spider Man, is he a spider that walks like a man?"
"What? No, he's a -- I guess he's a man that shoots webs like a spider. And he's very agile. And mouthy." He laughs a little. "He fights with a lot of heart." But he's young, Steve wants to say, too young for this life.
But he follows instead, to Diana's car. "Well, this is a lot more inconspicuous. But I uh, I didn't bring a change of clothes," he admits.
"Well to be honest, I don't normally travel across worlds, ma'am," he responds, easily. "But things sure have been weird the last few years." In this timeline, he doesn't go back to spend his days with Peggy. Instead, he just realizes more that the world needs him to be Captain America, and that Peggy lived a full life without him.
Which is, coincidentally, how he winds up in Metropolis, or Gotham, or wherever this is.
Ma'am. It's sweet and reminiscent of her Steve. They're two different men,
of course, this one seems less carefree than her Steve.
"Then we'll need to take you on a proper tour of Gotham before you return
home. I'm sure Barry and Victor will have plenty of questions. More than
likely Bruce as well but I can keep them at bay so you can have a moment of
rest."
The sleek vehicle tears down a quieter road away from the crowd. They're
lucky that they could go about their lives as privately as they wished for
the most part. It isn't long before they leave the city limits and the
foreboding building that had once been Wayne Manor appears.
They are very different men, but her Steve is almost as old as this one's father, and he was born the same year that hers died. Not that she knows that, but she might've thought it a funny coincidence. Both, fine pilots who crashed their planes to save the world once.
"It's all right. I'm used to fielding questions back home," he says. "And I'm no stranger to reports. Before this, I was in the army. I'll happily integrate myself into your team for the time being, just let me know what I've gotta do."
"I think you'll fit in just fine," Diana chuckles softly. "The rest of the
team takes a little while to warm up. We had our own differences when we
first came together. But when it came to protecting the world, we were able
to work together."
She pulls into the underground garage, easily bypassing Bruce's security
systems and pulling into a space marked specifically for her.
"As it is, our team has a tendency to do our own things. Normally, I would
be in Paris. But Bruce had invited me to come to Gotham and enjoy the
sights for a little while."

In the safety of the car, she takes off onto the road with a roar of the engine.
"Do you normally travel across worlds with spare clothes?" she teases.
Diana can't help but feel the corner of her lip tick up in a small smile. If she knows Bruce, he would have kept some clothes at the Hall.
