Plot: What would have happened if Shayera turned herself into her people after the invasion instead after she flew away?
Fated in the Always
The day went on like any other. It been six months since the invasion. Six months of rebuilding and six months of growth. Since that time the league has taken on new members and the founding fathers have been trying to move on over the loss of one of their own. This particular day The Flash had monitor duty and he did a double take when he saw something fly through earth's atmosphere. "Superman we have an unidentified object bypassing the atmosphere at an alarming rate…what's you're location", asked Flash looking at the monitor.
"This is Green Lantern on sight", replied the lantern as he smashed the meteors that were coming into the atmosphere into little bits and pieces.
Jo'nn frowned. He didn't detect any meteors earlier that were this big of a threat. "I am on my way to the scene", he stated.
Both Superman and Wonder Woman arrived at the same time but they were too late to stop the crash. Superman told everyone to step back while he went down there. The sight before him made him sick. He could tell that it was a body. The closer he got the more he begun to recognize the body, much to his horror. "Jo'nn", Superman stated trying not to choke up. "Get John out of here now", he replied forcefully using his super hearing for any form of life.
Jo'nn called Green Lantern back to run an emergency evacuation of the Watch Tower. John was confused but he quickly left and Diana went over the edge to where the huge crater was and landed by Clark.
The man of steel felt a gust of wind as he kneeled down next to what appeared to be a beaten and burnt Hawk Girl. She was practically burnt skin and bones but it was her or what was left of her.
"Great Hera", Diana gasped in shock. Her once fallen comrade was badly burnt and her wings were at an unnatural angle. There were bones showing in some places. She felt like she was going to threw up. The princess was used to seeing wounded soldiers but this hit too close to home. "Jo'nn three for transport…we need a medic for Shayera…Clark…don't touch her", she ordered when Clark went to check a theory.
The man of steel frowned. "Do you hear that", he asked. He was picking up two heart beats but that didn't make any sense because all he saw was Shayera until he heard a faint cry. "Jo'nn…I need your assistance down here", Clark stated.
"Is that a baby", Diana asked. She pondered what Shayera got herself into and why she did she have a baby with her. She may not have liked the Hawk anymore but surely someone on the team would have helped her out before it got to this point.
"Shayera…can you hear me", Clark asked. Her heart was barely beating but her green eyes opened unfocused yet clear at the same time. "Protect her", she stated before losing consciousness.
The Martian came from under the ground holding a baby that was unharmed. The precious thing didn't have a spot on her. A green bubble appeared at being separated from her mother. Her cries sounded half hawk and half human. "It's okay little one", he stated calmly. Little by little the shield dissipated and she was in his arms once more.
Superman and Wonder Woman looked in awe of the tiny being encased in its wings and a familiar green light.
The Martian transported everyone to the med bay. He had a team ready to get to work on Shayera while he calmed the baby down to get passed the force field he knew to be John's will. A subject he would jump into later. Now his first priority was making sure the baby was ok so he could check on Shay.
Down at his apartment, John sat in a chair once more feeling exhausted. "Boo, you okay", asked Mari coming behind him and wrapping her arms around him. She started to kiss his neck. "You seem tense", she replied.
"Not now…I have to focus", he told her as his eyes glowed their unnatural color.
Mari frowned. "John", she trailed off. She thought it was ridiculous to exert his energy on something he couldn't see.
"Look", he sighed. "I know this sounds crazy but someone is calling to me for help. They need me and as long as they do….this Green Lantern is going to respond".
"Boo, this is not good for you…you're constantly tired and tense", she stated climbing into his lap.
John stopped her advances. "I'm not tensed…I'm pissed. No one is responding to my com. It's like they just shut me out. I'm a Founding Father….they have no right", he hissed.
"John…they're your friends and maybe they see how tired you are all the time lately and was looking out for you", she reasoned.
"Maybe", he sighed leaning back. It was going to be a long night.
Thoughts...first JL story. Reviews would be nice.
