Hello all, last chapter. Hope you've been enjoying this.

Here's the last chapter.

Review/comment please.

Shayera looked out on the wood. She sat near the edge looking at the sky. It had been a confusing and deadly time the last days. She looked back at the others. They were all packing up their stuff. She smiled, knowing that no one would believe the time they've had. She looked back at the view. The skyline reminded her of Benjy. He had always flown in the darkness of the night and never the sunshine of the day. She was lucky she could fly in both. Lucky. The one word she never thought she'd class herself as. With only death and hatred in her life, how could she be lucky? She sighed remembering all the death in her life. All those she had lost. It was only a matter of time before she lost everyone she cared about in the league. She was a jinx. She was a walking talking death magnet. She was almost destined to never be happy.

She and Benjy were the same. They both had felt happiness and then became doomed to never feel it again. Shayera fought back tears, as she knew that her life was a mess. She had some much inside her and she was never allowed to let it out back on Thanagar, and now she could let it out, because they had caged it up so much. She wasn't able to break free from Thangar's rules and now she can't break free of herself.

"You all right dear?" Shayera looked up to meet Mrs Jones's smiling face. She sat down next to Shayera on the edge. Shayera didn't really know how to answer her question. She wasn't all right, but she didn't know how to say it.

"I... Mrs Jones you have no idea what it's like to be me." She put her knees to her chest. She felt stupid saying it. Saying what's in her head, what's in her heart. She felt like a little kid again. She felt six again. Mrs Jones put a hand on Shayera's shoulder. Shayera looked up and her eyes met Mrs Jones's. Mrs Jones took a deep breath and talked.

"No. I do not have any idea what it's like to be you Shayera. I have no idea how much you feel every day. I have no idea how you deal with it at the end of the day. I do not even wish to try to think of much you are hurting on the inside. How much pain you have from all the death in your life. Your parents, your uncle, your friends, your family, everybody. Always knowing that one day the people you care from right now will die and you'll just feel that pain again. However, you're not alone there." Mrs Jones said taking her hand off Shayera's shoulder.

Shayera looked hard at Mrs Jones face, for anything that might tell her how she had known.

"How, did you about my parents? My Uncle, my friends? How am I not alone?" Mrs Jones put a hand up to silence her. She looked out on the view.

"One question at a time child. First, you're not alone I am the same. Everyone I love dies painfully in the end. My parents died in a car crash when I was young. My school exploded from an unexploded bomb under the school from world war two. I was lucky I'm still alive. To answer how i know about your parents and so on." She looked back at Wally and her husband and back at her. "Wally and people in the league are not the only people with powers." She said calmly. Shayera's eyes widen and looked at the boys and back.

"You have powers too?" Mrs Jones nodded.

"Yes."

"Does Mr Jones know?" Shayera asked.

"Yes. Well, he knows I have them, but i refuse to let him know what they are. It kills me not telling people about it. However, its better, people not knowing who you truly are." She said looking down. Shayera got the feeling that Mrs Jones was ashamed of whom she was. Shayera looked at the Mr Jones and Wally laughing at something. A cheeky smile spread across Shayera's face.

"What are your powers?" Mrs Jones looked up.

"Oh, I couldn't..."

"Go on. What are they? You'll feel better." Mrs Jones smiled. She was old and needed to get things of her chest.

"I can look into people's pasts. I saw the dream you had. I can sense other people and their feelings. If I focus hard I can hear what they say, but that now hurts in my old age-"

"You're not that old." Shayera butt in, not letting Mrs Jones finish talking about her powers.

"Shayera, I'm fifty-four."

"I take that back... A little. You look forty something."

"Thanks. Therefore, I can see into people's pasts, I can read their feelings, sometimes listen to their thoughts, and make force fields." Shayera smiled as Mrs Jones smiled at her warmly. Shayera never thought someone like Mrs Jones could have a secret so big and brilliant. She was an normal woman, but had great powers. Life is full of surprises. However, Shayera didn't understand something.

"Why don't you join the league? I mean, you have powers." Shayera said, letting a frown appear across her face. Mrs Jones just laughed.

"Me? I have powers and that's it. I couldn't go around saving people like you all do up in that space ship of yours up in space. Dear no. Anyway. Not everyone wants to be known worldwide." The woman's smile faded.

"What do you mean?" Mrs Jones turned to face Shayera. A hard serious look on her face.

"People have powers. People not in the league. These people want to keep their powers a secret, because they don't want to be in the league. However, that doesn't mean when they are truly needed they won't rise to help. The young ones will have a hard time with that though."

"I'm not like that. You and I are kind of the same, but you've got a better life. No one hates you like they hate me. It isn't easy being me. Always having to work harder." Shayera picked up a rock and through it over the edge and watched it roll down the steep rocky hill. Mrs Jones sighed and shook her head.

"Shayera. Not everyone hates you. My husband and I are examples of that. I know this will hurt, but so were Liam and Tea before their deaths. No everyone hates you, but not everyone likes you. They'll all come round sooner or later." Mrs Jones got to her feet and went to walk away.

"Mrs Jones?"

"Hhhm?"

"Will you ever tell Mr Jones?" Mrs Jones looked from her husband to Wally and back at Shayera. She smiled softly.

"One day. One day I'll tell everyone. It all about timing. Come on, it's almost time to say good-bye." Good-bye. The word echoed through Shayera's head. She looked toward The Dip.

"I'll be there in a minute. There's something I have to do first." She said standing up. Mrs Jones nodded as she watched Shayera turn round and jump off the edge, flying towards The Dip. She knew what Shayera was going to do.

She read her thoughts.

Shayera flew across the sky. She flapped her wings, enjoying the wind on her face. She was born and warrior, but also born to fly. She was born to be in the air. Her kind owned the skies. She looked down on the woods. They looked peaceful. They looked better than they once had. Happier even. She picked up her speed, trying to be quick. She didn't want to be too long. It was just good-bye. She went lower to the trees. The air was warm, but the wind cooled her down. She one of Wally's red tops on and some short trousers.

She flew down to the ground and landed softly on the ground. She landed like an angle from heaven. It was unlike her to do so, but she was always kind for the dead, even if they didn't really deserve it.

She walked forward towards the edge of The Dip. She looked down into it. A large lump suddenly formed in her throat. She could speak and even if she could, she wouldn't know what to say. She swallowed the lump and spoke.

"I'm sorry Benjy. I didn't want things to turn out they way they did. I know you didn't think much of yourself and even more so after what you did. I just wanted to let you know... I forgive you. I... almost understand. Also, thank you. You could have taken me down with you, but you didn't. I'm leaving now and don't know if I'll even come back so... Goodbye." She finished speaking and turned around. She walked away and was going to fly off, but something then happened.

Suddenly, The Dip started to flicker with light. Shayera turned round as she heard a rumbling noise that soon turned into roars. Mist started too crawled from out of The Dip and across the ground towards Shayera. It was thick and covered her feet. It went past her as the mist started to rise and more oozed out from The Dip. Thunder clapped in the mist from in The Dip. Something told Shayera not to panic as the mist grew into a person shaped figure and walked towards her. The mist started to treat towards the figure. Shayera looked at nothing but the figure of mist. It slowly walked towards her. When the retreat mist reached the figure, it ripped the mist away. To Shayera's delight, Benjy walked out of the mist figure and towards her. The rest of the mist faded into The Dip and everything seemed normal. Benjy quickened his pace and walked towards Shayera. He stopped in front of her. Shayera knew that he was different. He seamed... Happier.

"I'll miss you Shayera." He pulled her into an unexpected hug. Shayera didn't know how to react, but then found herself hugging him back.

"How did you get out?" She said pulling away.

"I'm not sure. I just did." She smiled at him. "I wish things were different. You seem to be the only one that understood my pain." Shayera sadly smiled. He may be old, but he was a young boy at hart. A young boy that needed someone. However, he had no one.

Suddenly, an idea bounced into Shayera's head. It crackled like fireworks.

"Why don't you come and meet my friends?" She said sounding as if she was his girlfriend.

"I couldn't. Not after the pain I've made over these twenty-nine years." He said, making it clear in his voice. However, Shayera grabbed him by his top and started dragging him in the direction of the camp.

Her plan just could make everyone better.

She dragged Benjy up the steep hill. The others had been waiting a long time. Benjy had refused to fly so Shayera had to drag him on foot. Benjy's wings were giant and kept hitting a bush or something along the way. Benjy had been trying to get out of Shayera's grasp the whole time, but just couldn't. He was far stronger than she was and Shayera knew he was letting her drag him to meet her friends. A smile played on her lips. She tugged hard as she tried to climb up the hill as well as pull Benjy along. However, Benjy saw that Shayera wasn't going to give up. He pulled his hand way and started climbing ahead of her. Shayera smiled as he got the picture. She gets what she wants when she wants.

Benjy got to the top before she did and he helped her up. She took his hand happily. She saw through the bushes the others talking about something. Benjy gave her a look, saying he didn't wish to do this. However, Shayera ignored him, grabbing his top and tugging him forwards.

"Hey guys. I want you to say hello to someone." She flung Benjy forward. She walked forward to stand next to him.

Mr Jones's and Wally's mouth dropped wide open at the sight of him. His ruff raven hair, his well built body and his giant, raven feathered wings that were around five times bigger than Shayera's. Shayera smiled at their stupid looking faces. However, it was nice to see that Mrs Jones was putting those past seeing powers to use. She walked over to Benjy and shook his hand.

"Hello Benjy. I'm Mrs Jones. I'm sorry if I seem a bit weird, but I'm blind you see." Shayera smiled as for the for the first time, Benjy had smiled at some other than her. She also felt like laughing so hard she could die. Mr Jones face had gone completely white. His wife was shaking hands with... something he had never seen before.

"Oh, this is Mr Jones my husband, Wally, are friend and you know Shayera." Benjy raised and hand.

"Hi".

"Hi" Was the only words Mr Jones could get out of his mouth.

"Eeerrr, sorry, but what are you? Another type of Thanagarian?" Benjy laughed.

"No. I'm human. I... Well, long story short, I grew giant raven wings." Wally nodded his face showing he still couldn't believe what he was looking at. Who grows giant raven wings?

"Right... How did you two meet?" The smiles on Shayera's and Benjy's faces were whipped off. Shayera took a deep breath and explained.

She told them everything. She didn't leave anything out. What happened twenty-nine years ago Mandy, the spirits, the murders, how he was going to trade Shayera for Mandy, the mist. Everything. It took a long time to get through everything, but she did it in the end. Nobody made a sound as she told them, not even Benjy himself. When she finished the only that they could all say was.

"That makes perfect sense... I think." Typical humans, Shayera thought as she rolled her eyes. Couldn't they find something better to say? It takes a lot to make a Thanagarian speechless or lost for good words. Mr Jones got to his feet and grabbed his bag.

"We better get going if we want to get somewhere before dark. What you going to do now Benjy?" Mr Jones asked looking at his scruffy clothes and ruffed hair.

"I'm not sure. Forget about me. What will you guys all do now? Something like what you've been through changes people's lives? I'm worried I've done something." Benjy asked with a mixture of sadness and worry.

"Well, Shayera and me will go back to the league and Mr and Mrs Jones will go back to their home." Shayera noticed that Mr and Mrs Jones didn't seem all too happy with that.

Shayera took her chance and prayed she could do it.

"Why don't you join the league?" Shayera said suddenly, coursing everyone to look at her in surprise.

"I couldn't." Benjy said.

"Yes you could. Your strong, you can fly, your fast and you're a bit smarter than the everyday male. You can join too Mrs Jones." Mr Jones face went blank while Wally looks at her in confusion.

"Benjy, yes. Mrs Jones, how?" Wally said.

"She has powers."

"No she-" Mr Jones started, but was cut off by Mrs Jones.

"No Edward," She said, "I want them to know. I have had powers ever since I became blind in that car accident when I was thirteen. I never told anyone, because I was scared of what they would think. I only told Edward on the night before we got married, but never what they are." Shayera smiled as a tear rolled down Mrs Jones's face and Mr Jones sat down next to her and pulled her in a hug. Edward. It was the first time she had ever heard Mr Jones's first name. Edward.

Shayera look at Wally, a blank look on his face. Shayera walked up to him and put an arm around him.

"I just can't believe it. A man grows raven wings and Mrs Jones has super powers." Wally said shaking his head.

Shayera laughed as did the others.

"So, you'll give the league a shot? You can do part time if you want Mrs Jones." Shayera said turning to her.

"Yes please dear. I'm not scared anymore." Shayera look at Benjy.

"What have I got to lose?" Was his only reply.

One week later...

It's amazing how everything can become perfect it just a few minutes. One idea is all it takes. On the first mission, Shayera had on earth after the camping trip she noticed and realised that not everyone hates her. She had been wrapped up in her own world not to notice that people scream her name in pleasure and happiness. Well, nearly everyone. There were some people that still hated her, but she pushed it over her. Mrs Jones had finally told Mr Jones, Edward, what her powers were. She also got into the league, but only on a call duty. Not full time. He couldn't have been more pleased. Benjy had started off extremely well. He had fitted in fast. People at first thought he was a Thanagarian. However, the quickly guessed that he wasn't.

Everything was perfect.

So, as Shayera Hol, looked out on the setting sun on top of the hill in Winged Woods, all alone. She thought to herself how long it would last this happiness, and how she could make the most of it.

That's it! The end. Bet there was quite a bit in this chapter that you didn't see coming *wink wink*
