Chapter 1: Shayera
Location: Watchtower-Training Room #12
"Any reason for the impromptu session, Miss Wings," Virgil(Static)'s voice came over the intercom.
"A crappy lunch," Shayera said.
"With Miss-I'm-So-Exotic-I'm-Refined, who we all know is from a village in Zambezi…I heard about. You should have decked her," Virgil said, in the control center activating the training robots.
"Yeah…traitor versus upper leaguer's girlfriend…how can that not end well for me," Shayera said, unclipping her mace from her hip.
"Well, how about some robot to wail on," Virgil said, setting five robots to attack.
Soon the training room was filled only by the sounds of Shayera's battle cries. She screamed herself hoarse, and attacked until her arms were limp. She was doing the only thing she could do. She was working through things with her mace. She slammed her mace into the head of one of the robots with a scream.
KLUNK…
Vixen was her polar opposite. From looks to behavior, she was different. At first, that fact was a comfort to her. She wasn't her, and John wanted her. She had thought that John would come back to her. And then everything in Egypt with Carter had made is seem even more true. And then he had destroyed her world and her future.
KLUNK…
"We had a son together…I'm staying with Vixen…I won't be fate's puppet." Those words had killed her. She had been given the greatest her and then the greatest blow. He had dismissed her. He had dismissed her and her son. A son who would never be born and she would never met.
KLUNK…
She was-
"Shayera," a sharp voice snapped her out of her thoughts. She looked around in a daze. She was in the middle of the training room, and was surround by the smashed remains of training robots. She had smashed them to pieces, but she couldn't remember doing that.
She looked to the doorway and saw Batman and Virgil. Batman was leveling her with a stare, and said, "If you feel the need to destroy things so completely, then I will revoke your privileges as a league member."
~JUSTICE LEAGUE~
Location: Watchtower-Hallway
'What does it matter? What does any of this matter?' Shayera thought as she made it to her room. She heard the whispers and saw the looks.
"I said once but I'll say it again…we shouldn't trust that hawk."
"Once a traitor, always a traitor."
"Filth...that's all she is."
"I bet she doesn't even feel guilty about all those people killed in the invasion"
"How can she stand so much blood on her hands."
'It doesn't matter...None of them or it matter.' Shayera thought, changing her mind and heading toward the transporter.
~JUSTICE LEAGUE~
Location: Gotham Coast
Shayera was flaying along the coast of Gotham. After her blanking in the training room, she needed the feeling of the wind on her wings. She landed on a cliff facing the bay, and watched the sunset. This was her favorite time of day. The time of day where the sky was ablaze with color, and the winds were cool. She stayed on the cliff for a while. Long enough for the sun to have fully fallen and someone to find her.
"If you've come to kill me, get it over with," Shayera said, still looking out over the horizon.
"As I said a long time along, me and mine with not harm the one who saved our Mother Earth," A woman said, walking up beside Shayera. This woman had tan skin, hazel eyes and long, curly brown hair. She was wearing a long black coat, coating her blood-red blouse and grey tweed pencil skirt. "Though if you had let the world burn, my father's job would be easier," the woman finished.
"Talia, you're all kinds of wrong," Shayera said.
"I try," Talia said, "It's not safe for you. They has been whispers of many people looking to punish you...kill you for what almost came to pass."
"It's not been safe for while. They either hate me or fear me," Shayera said.
"They are looking for a reason to end you," Talia said, "I almost thought to kidnap you, and take you somewhere far away."
"I'm not sure if Bruce would allow that," Shayera said, with a small laugh.
"Which would have made even better," Talia said, smirking , "My beloved is so much more...amusing when he's irritated."
"I'll never understand your relationship," Shayera said, shaking her head.
"It's simple. He is my beloved, my destined soul mate, my future husband," Talia said.
"Does he know that," Shayera asked.
"Yes…and that does make him try to run. But no matter how fast he runs from me. He can't outrun his fate," Talia said, smirking.
"Some try," Shayera said.
"But all fail," Talia replied.
"And Wonder Woman..." Shayera trailed off.
"Is he's latest hobby," Talia said, confidently, "She may have his attention, but I have something far greater of his."
