Disclaimer: I think you know that they do not belong to me. Really. This is a femmeslash story, so if you are offended, or just an asshole in general, this probably isn't for you.
This is a follow up story to The Princess and the Hawkgirl. You don't have to read it first, but it might help. Plus it is fun.
Shayera and Black Canary were sparring as it was their usual Wednesday routine. While simultaneously throwing punches at each other, the conversation between the two was also animated.
"You and Diana have been together for a while now."
Shayera smiled. "We have. And it's been tough at times with everything else going on, but, she's…" Shayera ducked a punch thrown at her head, "she's, so…"
"At a loss for an accurate description?"
Shayera giggled. "She's wonderful on so many levels. She looks at me and I'm lost."
"Isn't that, well, sappy?"
"Stuff it Dinah. Besides I see how you look at Huntress. You're just as whipped as I am."
Dinah shrugged. "Things are progressing nicely, I admit it. But back to Diana, what are your plans for the future?"
"Just to be with her."
"I get that. It's obvious that you two are practically inseperable. Where is Diana now?"
"Peaceful negotiations with the Undinara. She's gone for a little while. I wanted to go, but J'onn didn't think it was wise to send us both. The Undinara are a primitive society. He thought our relatiohnship may not be readily accepted. So, she's gone, and I'm here sparring with you."
"Sorry I am a poor substitute for your Princess." Canary chuckled. "Are you really going to make me ask?"
"Ask what?"
"Got any 'M' word plans?"
Shayera blushed. "No. The subject has not come up. I admit it is a pleasant thought, but Diana has not mentioned it."
"Why don't you bring it up?"
"I don't know. I am content with things, but I wouldn't be opposed to the idea. But I think Diana views conventional marriage as a man-thing."
"Hmmm…surely Amazons marry each other."
"Amazons do. But I am not an Amazon."
"Changing the subject for a moment, how are things between you and Lantern?"
"Quietly fine. He doesn't say much of anything to us. But he doesn't scowl anymore. Progress, I guess."
"And Vixen?"
"She smiles at us all the time. I guess she thinks since Diana and I have shown this isn't a fling, she is more confident in her relationship with John."
"So, no issues?"
"None. We have been on missions a few times with her. She hasn't shown any signs of being disgruntled."
"I'm sure since Diana has practically marked her territory so effectively."
"Diana didn't pee on my leg, Canary."
Both girls laughed. Canary continued, "That isn't what I meant."
"I know. What a gross thought. It's frustrating not being able to talk to her, Diana that is. But she's in BFE, so…"
"BFE?"
"Butt…"
The thought was cut off by J'onn's voice in their com links. "Shayera, we have a situation. Get to the monitoring room quickly please."
Shayera's heart sank. Canary grabbed her hand and they rushed out of the room.
"Shayera, Canary, thank you for coming so quickly. Themiscyra has sent an urgent message for Diana. Since we cannot reach her right now, I thought you would want to hear it."
"Play it J'onn."
A garbled voice came over the speakers. "This is Alindra of the Amazons. We are under attack from Aresia and Hades. Queen Hippolyta has been captured, and our forces have been spread thin. Diana, please come quickly, or there may not be a home to come back to."
The message suddenly stopped, and the silence was deafening.
"J'onn, when did this come in?" Shayera asked.
"Mere moments before I contacted you."
"Can you reach Diana?"
"No."
"Dammit!" Shayera looked at Dinah. "I have to go. Diana's mother is in trouble, and I can't leave her defenseless."
Canary nodded. "I'll go too."
Shayera looked at J'onn. "What women are here on the tower?"
"Huntress, Vixen, Zatanna, Fire, and Ice."
"Huntress is here?" Canary asked.
"Yes. She is meeting with Superman. He is reinstating her into the League. She asked that she be able to surprise you."
Shayera interjected, "Get them all down to hangar 12. We're going to answer Themiscyra's distress call. How long before you can reach Diana?"
"A week maybe. She's due to return around then."
"J'onn, figure out how to get a hold of her sooner. We'll be in touch as soon as we can."
"Be careful Shayera. All of you."
Shayera nodded and left with the Black Canary barely keeping up.
A/N: I had some plan to write a follow up to The Princess and the Hawkgirl, but I wasn't sure where I wanted to go with it. But while I was driving today, a thought pooped into my head, and here is the start of it. Those of you that read the prequel know that I like to update daily, but since this isn't flushed out yet, I imagine that will not be the case with this story. I promise that I am working on it, and will update as soon as my fingers can type out what I have written. I am not inclined to leave something undone, or to keep you hanging long. I will submit chpaters as I finish them. Please let me know what you think...
