Diana sat on her bed in her room contemplating on what she was gonna do. Her heart was raising from the intensity of his eyes. He stared into her soul and the old Green Lantern that she knew from all those missions were gone. It seems that after Halkgirl's betrayal he changed drastically. But how could he abuse her this way. What was he thinking? I need to know what happened...Wonder Woman sighed.. I have to get Shayara to tell me what happened. every detail. Every word. How else can I protect her if I don't know the whole story.
With a surge of hopelessness. Diana laid down on her bed. Underneath the covers. Until a knock came at the door. She became completely still. Her body tensed with fear. Remembering who she was she rose. Grabbing a silk robe to cover up her pajamas. She went to the door and looking at the screen showing her who was at her door, she relaxed. Opening up the door she glared at the intruder.
"What on Earth do you fucking want Jo'on?", Diana complained.
"To check on a dear friend of mine that has long dark hair and a sweet and innocent nature. I believe she's gone rogue. Have you seen her?", Jo'on mused.
Diana gave a half smile. "Oh Jo'on. what on Earth will I do?", she wiped away tears that tried to trickle down. She swore she would never cry in front of anyone again, "All of this is just too much. I have no idea how I can do this. I mean, you know how I feel about her. I just don't want to see her hurt is all. I want to see her smile and beat me in combat once more."
"You know Damn well that she never actually won, right? Because I remember on more than one occasion you thinking how good it felt to see her smile after winning so called sparring matches.", Jo'on laughed with glee.
Diana laughed, grabbing a pillow off the nearby chair, she threw it at him. He bounced back with a playful smirk splattered on his face. "Diana. I think you'll regret doing that to me.", Diana backed away and landed on the soft and luscious bed. He held a tight grip on the pillow that was his enemy just moments before. She reached out a hand to search for her weapon of choice. It was a feathered pillow with a turquoise silky smooth pillow cover cozied up to its sides. In an instant the battle began. Both opponents hitting each of their targets with complete perfection. Feathers broke threw the seems and flew all around them. Flying high in a tornado attack to the floor. Distracted by the relaxation from watching the feathers fall gently by her side. She didn't see him slowly place his fingers at her side. She felt a sudden jolt of her body and a funny sensation spread through her. Until laughter spewed out from the depths of her stomach out for the whole world to hear. The Martian crawled onto the bed and sat on her so she couldn't move. He tickled every inch of her. Diana thought she might be the first person to die from laughing too hard.
The sound of the door slamming the rest of the way open was sounded. And a voice was heard."Hey Di, Can I sleep here tonight? I brought my own stu-
Then an awkward silence fell upon the trio. Diana's cheeks became deep red from utter horror at what must be going threw Shayara's mind. Jo'on turned dark green from embarrassment. Shayara just stared in shock until a slow and knowing smile appeared.
"So, your into Martians, huh? Boy is Bruce gonna have a fit. Good job pickin' em Jo'on.", she stated., "Well, I'll leave you to it then. And this time I'll close the door all the way for you." And with that Shayara walked out of the room. Diana pushed Jo'on away. and ran out the door.
"Wait, Shay, its not what it looked like at all. We aren't-
"Listen Di, you don't have to explain yourself. Its a good thing to get laid every once in awhile. Actually, I was a little concerned. I didn't think you liked men or anyone by that matter. Oh well, at least you don't like women right? That would be terrible.", realizing her mistake in her ramblings she tried to make it better, "I mean, I know you support lgbt community I just meant that we have one more thing in common. I mean, i'm sorry."
Diana was fuming inside but she did her best to remain calm. To ask in such a way that wouldn't give her away. "After my dad died my mom married a woman so of course I will take offense. But your my best friend so any mistake is pardoned. But. Out of curiosity, what would you say if I was Lesbian? Would you be disgusted of me? If I liked women would you still be my best friend?", Diana tried not to let her emotions leak through. But it was hard. All of the worst scenarios came flooding in anticipating her drown. A soft and gentle voice broke through the waves just as they almost took over.
"Of course not, Di. Your my best friend til we both die. I'm sorry for hurting your feelings. I love you. Your like a sis-. Your like a- your my bestie and whatever your sexual preference I will stand by your side. Now, I am going to bed."
"Please. Sleep in my room. I promise you won't be interrupting anything.", Diana swore.
Jo'on appeared behind them and grabbed Diana's shoulders in a quick squeeze. "Well I'm going off to bed. Goodnight darling. Night Shayara.". He walked away with a smirk and Shayara swooned with joy. Diana just glared at him and he just shrugged and waved her off with a smirk. If the others saw this side of him they would flip out and think someone took over his body or something. Diana thought. The two girls walked into Wonder Woman's chambers and secured the door so no one else will barge in.
Both females settled down in Diana's bed after she insisted that Shayara bringing in extra blankets and pillows were unnecessary. They just lay there in mutual comfort and silence. Shayara was on the right side of the bed and she turned toward her friend. "Hey D?"
"hmm", Diana grunted, trying not to fall asleep. Shayara smiled at her friend's attempt.
"You know, I'll always be happy with whoever you choose to date so long as they make you happy. Marshian or Man."
Diana sat up a little bit. "Hey hold on. Are you still concerned about that whole ordeal that went down earlier?", After the red head nodded. Diana sat up and motioned for her friend to scoot closer. Diana fought to keep her emotions at a normal level affection among friends. But God her heart will give her away. " Listen lady, its cool. But I gotta tell you. Jo'on and I are just best friends. We were in the middle of a pillow fight, hence, the feathers everywhere. That led into a tickle attack and then you coming in to see the end results. It was simply friendly fun. Nothing more, okay?"
"Then, do you EVER get laid, girl?", Diana erupted with laughter, "Of course I do. What kinda of woman would I be without some pleasurable release?"
"Then please tell me. What's your type?"
"hm. Well, I like someone to be strong yet not too strong that it makes them look like veins are popping. I like honesty. Compassion. Passion. Relate able. someone who is my match but greater you know? Attractive but can soothe my ruffled feathers. Who's lovable but can rain down a storm of anger to protect loved ones. That's my type. Are you happy?"
"Yes. For now. D, I'm really scared, he was so angry. He isn't usually like this but jealousy and anger are stronger than love sometimes. They dilute a person's mind and make them believe stuff that isn't true."
"I know your scared. I mean look at me, I'm terrified and I am only observing. Listen, I know it may seem scary. But its gonna kill me inside if I don't know what he did. How he became so evil in such a short amount of time."
"I don't know if I can stomach that right now. It's still too vivid. Could you, could you just hold me while I fall asleep. You bring me peace.", Diana tried her best not to sigh in happiness. She scooted back down and cuddled up to Shayara. She held onto her, her arms tense from her attempt to not touch her in a more intimate way. Their breathing fell into sink as each on forced themselves into slumber. One thought remained in each women's mind.
Why is my heart racing so much? God, I hope she doesn't notice. They both winced in unison at the thought. Neither one noticing the other one's reaction.
