A/N: Thank you everyone for reading the first chapter and coming back to read the second.

Shayera watched as John entered the Metrotower common room. It had been almost three months since she heard about the end of his relationship with Vixen. She now thought it strange that this was the first time in those three months that they'd been on duty together. Today she happened to have switch shifts with Black Canary, so she wasn't supposed to be there. She wondered if he was avoiding her. He sat down at one of the monitor stations. Shayera stood from her seat and crossed the room to stand next to him.

"Hello John."

He didn't even need to turn around to know it was her. His eyes had been drawn to her the moment he walked through the doors.

"Hey Shayera," John nodded.

"This taken?" Shayera motioned to the monitor station next to his.

"Nope."

Shayera sat down but didn't bother logging into the system. John starred at the screen in front of him. He knew why she was there, he was single now. He couldn't lie to himself and deny his feelings for her, but he didn't want to have this conversation. As she sat next to him he couldn't help but remember his trip to the future, and what the Absorbascon had showed him, Shayera, and Cater Hall in Egypt. But that didn't change the fact that he didn't want to have this conversation.

"John," Shayera tilted her head to the side.

He turned and their eyes met for a second before they both looked away. She leaned in towards him and her lips parted to speak.

"Shayera I don't want to talk about this, you know how I feel about it," John spoke before she had a chance to.

"If I knew how you felt then we wouldn't have to have this conversation," Shayera retorted.

"I'm not going to let destiny control my life."

"I'm not asking you to," Shayera kept her voice calm despite the frustration that was starting to build within her.

"But you want-" John started.

"I want a second chance." Shayera stated.

"Because of what I saw in the future, and what Shadow Thief showed us."

"No," Shayera's frustration increased, "I want to give us another try because I love you, I have for years."

"Shayera."

"If you didn't know about Warhawk, or about our past lives, would you give me a second chance?" Shayera asked staring into his green eyes.

John was shocked, he hadn't expected that question, he'd never even thought about that question before. He did still care about her greatly, and she obviously still cared about him. He had been the one to end his relationship with Mari, Shayera had nothing to do with that. Maybe they were ready to try again. But would that be giving into destiny?

"I don't know," John paused as he mulled the possibility over in his mind, "yes."

"Yes?" Shayera confirmed.

"Yes," John nodded, "I would give us a second chance."

"That's all I'm asking for," Shayera smiled.

A/N: Yay for second chances. If you like this story, or even if you hate it, please give me a review.
