AN: This one is set after Starcrossed and you'll notice its quite similar to Linguist from my first Justice League Drabble collection, but is a little different :)
Heart Beat
The room is cast in dim twilight; a thin beam of early rising sun streaming through the small slot between the curtains serves to stir one of the occupants. Waking groggily the woman rolls onto her stomach and stretches her wings extending them behind her at their full length, the long primary flight feathers brushing against the ceiling. Folding them carefully she shifts closer to her sleeping partner and smiles softly to herself, his breathing is deep and regular and she wastes no time in lying her head on his warm, broad chest.
A moment passes by and she concentrates on the silence until all she can hear is the soft thudding of his heart in his chest, she listens intently and wonders to herself at what moment their separate hearts began beating as one. It might have been when she had restarted it with the electrical discharge of her mace, it might have been when he had told her he would die for her, and it might have been when they were stranded in their search for War World.
Then again it could have been earlier still, or maybe she thought, their hearts had always been beating in unison, calling to each other to draw these two people together across the stars, to unite them so that the two halves could become one.
