Hello all. This is my first Justice League fanfiction so please don't be too hard on me. The first ones are always the hardest.
Also sorry if anyone is a bit OOC and please tell me if I get anything wrong and please point out my OOC mistakes.
Hope you enjoy.
Shayera had been sitting in her room for more than an hour now and Flash was starting to worry. He knew that it was her time off work, like a vacation, but all she did was eat, drink, work out and spend time in her room. He couldn't take it. Because of what happened with her people a year back and the fact that she's not of this world, she can't go down to earth and walk around the shops or stuff that she would do. He even wonders if she's ever had a real vacation like he has has or the other League members. She doesn't have any family to go to... He never knew if she had a family full stop. He never asked and she never spoke. Maybe he should ask. No. Not at a time like this. She'll be even more upset. Flash is too confused at how to handle her in a time like this. She may act strong, but if she's isn't working or with her friends then she's breaking down inside and he needs to fix that.
Flash signed. Nothing much he can do. He'd tried to get her to sit down and just watch T.V, but every time he came back ten minutes later, she was gone. She would read, but Sherlock Homes and Nancy Drew. He's tried taking those books away from her, but when he did, she wouldn't fight, she'd just find a dictionary and read that. She'd sometimes repeat a description of a word to you when you didn't understand what it meant. After a week of that, he gave her, her books back. He had no idea what she did in there, but it wasn't good for her health... He knew that much.
Flash slowly made his way to the cafeteria on the ship and got the usual. Large burger, Large chips pudding and a coke. He muttered his thanks and went to go find a table.
"Yo Wally!" He turned to see his 'guys' at a table. Green Arrow, Booster Gold (with that robot of his), Hawk, Dove, B'wana Beast and even Shining Knight and Vigilante were there too. He smiled and went to go eat with them. The eight cool dudes as Booster had put them. He walked over and sat down. He didn't say anything so they knew that something was up.
"Eeerrr you 'k, Flashy boy?" Vigilante asked. He tried to make it sound like another question, but he failed.
"Yah, just..." Everyone leaned in. Whatever was up with their mate then they wanted to know about it. Flash doesn't do depressed like he is doing now. It wasn't like him unless it was serious.
"Yes..." Sir Justin said, the only one not leaning in.
"It's just, I know I'm being stupid, but she's like a big sister to me and... I'm bit worried about Shay." All the men slowly came back and sat in their seats. The table was a bit quite for a moment. They all knew how much Flash and Shayera were to each other and when one was worried about the other, you don't go making jokes, unless you want to die... Especially with Shayera. She'll throw you through the wall as Aquaman found out three months ago. He was in the Watch Tower hospital for six weeks.
"So..." Arrow said, breaking the silence that was getting to everyone on the table. "What you worried about with her?" Flash always worried about even the littlest of things with Shayera. Once she got a paper cut and Flash ran around getting bandages and septic spray, which Shayera said she couldn't have because the chemicals in it could make it go badly septic and might have to even cut it off. Flash then started blaming himself because he almost might have gotten her to lose a figure. It took everyone around two months to get him to get over it. Thank lord Shayera only worried about serious things, not paper cuts.
Flash signed. Everyone knew from past events that Flash liked keeping his worries about Shayera to himself, but he always talked in the end.
"Well, she spends far too much time up here. I've never spoken about what she did in her time off back on Thanagar, but I know for fact that it wasn't sitting in her room all day... I think she needs fresh air and all. It isn't healthy to sit in your room all the time. Speaking of which, she's manly up here all the time unless she's on a mission! She needs to spread her wings freely and all!" Flash slammed his hand on the table right onto the ketchup that burst open and sent ketchup flying at Dove, who luckily dogged it.
"Hay!" He spat, angrily. Dove really hated ketchup after an incident when he was younger.
"Hay, somethin' that horse eat." Vigilante said making everyone burst out laughing. Even Flash gave a little chuckle. It then died down and Flash spoke again.
"But seriously guys, I don't know about you guys, but I've got to do something... and fast." Everyone nodded. Everyone in the Justice League either had gotten some respect for Shayera or is starting to get some. Booster Gold and B'wana Beast both never had anything ageist her as Booster was from the future and knew about it all, and B'wana Beast sort of wonders about how her wings work. Nobody asks anymore why he doesn't ask her. He's a bit too shy to just encase to a Thanagarian it's rude for others to ask how their body works. No one else asks, not even Flash, just encase.
Arrow had gained some respect for her as a 'great' commander as he puts it. He says her methods may be right down mad, but they work.
Sir Justin had never had anything agents her and thinks she's a fine fighter.
Dove had a bit of a bone to pick with her, but has been getting over it, and Hawk has nothing, but a slow growing crush on her. Everyone laughs at him and doesn't know why. He hasn't even figured that he has a crush on her... or the fact that she's eleven years too old for him and not 'her type'.
Vigilante had even started to come round... Slowly. After that mission where they were trapped by Thanagarians, he's started to like her as a friend... Slowly.
Everyone snapped into gear and started thinking. Only Booster Gold was eating and thinking at the same time.
"Got it!" Booster gold said slamming his fist on a pack of ketchup, which once again burst, but this time burst to the side... At Dove, again.
"Hay!"
"Somethin' that horses eat, now shut it, I wanna 'ear this partner." Vigilante said giving Dove a 'shut it' glare. Dove returned it with an ice glare. Flash just rolled his head and looked a Booster to say his idea.
"Get her on a G.N.O." Everyone glared at him. "What?" He asked, not sure of what he's done.
"Booster, who on earth would want to go on a Girls Night Out with Shayera? She'll want to get drunk and start a pub fight." Arrow said shocked at that Booster had even come up with the idea. He dipped a chip in ketchup and put it in his mouth, still glaring at him.
"Actually, Shayera doesn't get drunk. It takes twenty-five goblets of Thanagarian wine to get her drunk and one goblet is like five bottles of beer. Therefore, a G.N.O or a B.N.O wouldn't work... Although I did take her on a B.N.O and everyone had a blast." Everyone glared at flash.
"You took shay on a B.N.O?" Asked Hawk. He just managed to get the words out of his mouth.
"I have come to understand what G.N.O means, but a B.N.O?" Sir Justin in didn't understand what the difference was. Vigilante signed. He still had a lot to teach his young student. A lot.
"A G.N.O means Girls Night Out and a B.N.O means Boys Night Out. 'K?" Vigilante explained calmly and softly to the knight. Sir Justin nodded, as he now understood. He may have been around and awake for a whole year in this world, but there are still things that he doesn't understand.
Flash shook his head. No of the two ideas would work. He needed to open her up to the world. Get her to spread her wings freely in pleasure for once. To fly in safety, not fear, to be herself, not a warrior. Wally screeched his head, picked up his burger, and took a big bite. Thinking was harder work than running. He had never been a bright spark when it came to girls. Well, when it came to charming them then yes, but Shayera was no ordinary girl. All the men in the Justice League had confessed that they'd never met anyone like her. She was like his sister and he may be the younger one in both ways, but he still had to look out for her. Even in the small ways. They were family. Flash had never introduced her to his Aunt and Uncle, but would always love to. He knew they'd get along well, like Flash first did on that camp out...
"That's it! A Camp out. We could take her camping!" Everyone looked at him.
"Shayera. In a small cramped tent?" B'wana Best said a bit unsure. He knew she'd hate being in a place where she didn't have space to spread her wings. She was scared of small places, just didn't like them.
"Yah. Well, we'll have to think round that bit, but I'm sure with our brains, we can do it... We could ask Question for some facts on how we should deal with the tent bit, but it could work." Flash said cheerfully. He found the answer, it was a long shot, but it could work. They just had to all do their bit. Maybe a week or more in the woods and they'd all have a blast. He knew that Shayera loved flying in the woods, because unlike many birds she could fly in-between the small gapes between the trees. It was fun if you wanted to play tag, because she didn't have to slow down. She actually sped up in a forest. It was like her natural habitat.
"But Wally, she's on a vacation and we aren't. How can we go to the woods if we're working?" Asked Dove, who was still a bit mad about the ketchup. Wally thought for a moment.
"We could take it in turns. Yah?" The boys all looked at each other then at him and nodded.
"Alright." Said Arrow
"We're in." Coursed Hawk and Dove.
"It'll rock." Booster smiled.
"Woods are the best." B'wana Best agreed with everyone.
"To help a friend then indeed." Shining Knight nodded.
Everyone looked to Vigilante who was looking at the ground, feet up on the table. He looked up and signed.
"Alright, but this don't mean nothing. Got it?" Everyone nodded. They all left the table and went their separate ways.
Camping with Shayera. This was going to be fun. However, first things first. How were they going to get her to want to go?
Well? Tell me what you think.
PLEASE! I'm a rookie at Justice League here.
Please review/comment. Thanks. Until my next chapter.
