The first time she met John Stewart, she had landed on Earth as a representative for the Thanagarian Empire. He had blocked her passage to Earth, in his green uniform of the Green Lantern Corps. Once she explained her reasons, he let her pass but had escorted her to the United Worlds Assembly where she requested to live on Earth as an ambassador for the Thanagarian Empire. John Stewart had left in a hurry after but she never once questioned his behavior, deciding that it probably had to do with his duties as a Green Lantern. She warned the World Nations about the Gordanians' arrival on Earth. Shayera was to serve under the World Army in return for allowing her to live on Earth and when the Gordanians had attempted to even invade Earth, Shayera had helped the World Army advance through their weaponry in order to properly defeat the Gordanians and was hailed a hero by the world. Shayera adopted Midway City as her home when she decided to stay on Earth and still regularly reports to the World Army whenever they needed her.
Shayera thought nothing of that fateful encounter with the Green Lantern until today as she watched the Imperium invade her home at Midway National Park. Shayera had followed the sound of laser blasts and saw that the Batman fellow from Gotham was avoiding the laser blasts from several invading pods. Shayera didn't hesitate to take her mace and began to whack at the weak ships. Shayera almost had to snort at the weakness the ships were exhibiting as they seemed to be more fragile than Earth's own vehicles as her charged mace easily tore through the material. What they lacked in strength however, they made up for in numbers. The Imperium nearly overwhelmed them but the combined forces of the group of heroes quickly pushed them back and away.
Shayera didn't know what to feel about John Stewart. The minute they first laid eyes on each other after two years, they were at it like cats and dogs. John accused her of being a spy despite the fact that Shayera had helped the Earth fend off the Gordanians and had chosen to remain on Earth as a protector. Shayera had refused to work Monitor Duty with John Stewart and always begged Batman to never pair her alone with Stewart. They always argued the minute they were in the same room and it didn't matter if what they argued about was stupid like who left the milk carton empty or who left the unwashed spoon in the sink.
Shayera growled as she stomped away from the Mess Hall, once again having another argument with John. Shayera swears to the gods that she will impale him with her own mace the next time he accuses her of being a sleeper agent. She doesn't know what else to tell him. She has tried every single possible method to show him that she was not a spy but the stubborn idiot refuses to believe her. His own distrust had actually influenced Batman and Superman and she was subjected to a series of trials just to prove her trustworthiness. Shayera had to explain Thanagarian culture to Batman and Superman since, because of John, Shayera had to remove her mask and reveal her real name to the two leaders in order to prove to them that she wasn't a spy. She had nothing against Batman and Superman of course after they had apologized and left her alone, but with John Stewart she will gladly eviscerate multiple times.
Of course like most hate relationships between a man and a woman, it would lead to love. Shayera currently couldn't tell you when it happened exactly but it was solidified the day the Joker had taken over Las Vegas. When John ended up saving her, Shayera refused to rise up to his taunts which in turn caused him to behave a little nicer. Nice turned to teasing, teasing turned to flirting, and by then they were both committed in the relationship they had with each other. Shayera never would have thought she had found love as strong as the way she felt for John Stewart but right now… she didn't know what to feel.
Everybody was contained in their cells, except for John who walked past her cell in his Yellow Lantern uniform.
Short, I know. I had this idea and I want to know what you guys think about it before I get dedicated to it. Fragments is about six chapters away from being completed and that will give me more time to work on the other stories. Like the idea or no? Thanks for the short reading :)
