~*~*~*~*~

It was night time.

I laid my mask carefully down by my nightstand and dressed for bed.

I slipped my short, silk nightgown over my head and let my wings fan out behind me.

I'm thirsty.

I decided to go to the kitchen to get a drink.

That's when I saw him in the hallway...

~I'm never shy but this is different

I can't explain the way I'm feeling tonight

I'm losing control of my heart

Tell me what can I do to make you happy

Nothing I ever say seems to come out right

I'm losing control of my heart~

"Hey Hawkgirl, what are you doing out of bed." Green Lantern asked me. I felt my throat go dry at the sound of his voice.

"Just getting a drink, Green Lantern." He stopped walking at stared at me for a while. I crossed my arms at his scruitany.

"You can call me John you know. I mean, were not in costume now." he said warmly. That's when I noticed he had no shirt on. I knew I must have blushed, but luckily it was pretty dark so I hoped he could not tell.

"Okay,...John." I said, he still did not walk.

"Well, what's your real name?" he asked; I knew I should tell him it was only fair. But...

"My name is not known to the members of the Justice League, but to me and my people back on Thanagar." A small tear slipped down my cheek at knowing that I would never be able to return home again.

"Right now, I'm just John-not Green Lantern." he said softly taking a step closer to me and brushing away my tear. I felt stupid for showing my emotions.

"My name is Shayera, Shayera Hol" I whispered; we continued walking into the kitchten.

~And I wish that you could see

The other better parts of me

Feel this fire I'm feeling

Then you'd see me in control

And baby then you'd know~

I entered the kitchen and made my way to the cabniet to grab a glass, Gre-...err...John flipped on the lights.

He stared at me. I knew he was studying me up and down-I though something must be wrong so I looked down upon myself. My light gold night gown cam down to my thighs revealing my legs, and had a plunging neckline and back for my wings. I blushed.

He realized what he was doing.

"Sorry" he mumbled, "I've never seen you like this before."

I smiled. He walked over to me and leaned in front of me to grab a glass for himself. My heart stopped.

~But I can't read you

I wish I knew what's going through your mind

Can't touch you, your heart defending I get left behind

I can't reach you

I wish I knew what's going through your mind

Can't touch you, your heart protecting I get left behind

No no no no no~

I tried to take a step back but I slipped, and begun to fell. He became alert and caught me mid-air and held me in his arms.

He just stared at me; right into my eyes. This time I new he saw my blush for he smiled.

He began to bring himself closer into me.

"Lantern-" I said pushing him away. I was so confused, he sends me mixed signs all the time. Just earlier today we were fighting.

~But I can't read you

I wish I knew what's going through your mind

Can't touch you, your heart defending I get left behind

I can't reach you

I wish I knew what's going through your mind

Can't touch you, your heart protecting I get left behind

No no no no no~

"No-to you I'm just John" he pulled me into him and we developed into the sweetest and most pure kiss I ever had.

~And I wish that you could see

The other better parts of me

Feel this fire I'm feeling

Then you'd see me in control

And baby then you'd know~

And know we both know I thought as we left the kitchen hand-in-hand; me forgeting my water.
