Just a little something to keep me focused on writing so I don't forget about my SW fic. Hope you all enjoy!
Wally had collapsed in exhaustion soon after the seven of them had made it to the Watchtower. He was immediately brought to the medbay, with Shayera accompanying him.
Meanwhile the other five original members had made the hardest decision yet.
"So its agreed. The Justice League is no more." Superman looked around. No one seemed happy with the decision.
Yeah. I'm gonna go check on Wally and tell him and Shay about it." John stood and headed out the door.
Arriving at Wally's room, he stepped inside to find him still unconscious, Shayera cradling his head in her lap. Just one look at the way her eyes shone when looking at the fastest man alive, and John knew he had lost her forever.
She looked up at him as he entered. "How's he doing?"
"Just exhaustion, nothing too serious."
John nodded. "So, when are you going to tell him?"
Shayera looked up at him, and immediately realized that he knew.
"I-I don't think I can." She hung her head. "Wally is my best friend. To him, I'm more of a sister, and I thought that too for so long. Somewhere though, I fell in love with him."
He breathed deep before sitting down in one of the empty chairs. "If you don't tell him, he WILL fall in love with someone else, and you'll never know what could have been. You don't want that Shayera. Besides," he said with a little grin. "he may think of you as so much more than he lets on."
She looked at him questioningly. "What do you mean?"
"Wally has been in love with you for a long time, Shay. He just hides his feelings better than any of us give him credit for. I found out after you had left. We were talking, and he told me, how jealous he was of me, how heartbroken he was that you had left. The day you came back was the happiest of his life."
Shayera looked down at the sleeping man in her lap, tenderly running her fingers through his hair.
"Thank you John."
John smiled, and the two waited for their best friend to wake up.
As Superman outlined a plan for the new Justice Leauge, GL looked over and smiled, as Flash held Shayera's hand in his own, ready to face the world, together.
