Short chapters - I know. But I'm working on the fight scene. It's taking a while.
Mass panic erupted over Gotham, Metropolis, and other surrounding cities as both Thanagarians and Thanagarian warships rained down from the sky. The heroes who weren't able to breathe in space, fought the bird-people on Earth. The heroes with no flight ability fought the Thanagarians grounded after their faux wings were successfully ripped from their bodies. Shri, J'ohnn, and other heroes did their best to prevent the Thanagarians from entering the Watchtower. "They just keep coming!" a lantern shouted.
"We need to find the command ship," Shri said to J'ohnn. "They'll continue to fight until the leaders tell them otherwise."
"I believe Shayera and Batman are working on that."
"Are you sure?" Bruce asked as he and Shayera briskly walked the halls of the Watchtower. Shayera was brandishing her long swords. He had yet to pull his cowl over his head. But since the Watchtower was empty, save Superman and Wonder Woman, he wasn't worried about this identity being exposed.
"Even with the world governments fighting…Thanagar's soldiers won't stop coming until Issi tells them to stop. And she won't tell them to stop until I am dead. Superman can get me to their command ship, past…everyone." Shayera stopped walking. "I can't move on with this hanging over my head. I need to cut ties with Thanagar once and for all." Shayera turned away from him and kept walking. "No matter who dies, this thing with Thanagar ends today. Hey!" she exclaimed. Bruce gripped her around the waist and pulled her tight against his body before backing her against the wall. He grabbed the back of her head with his free hand and smashed their lips together. His tongue pushed past her lips and teeth, his mouth hot against hers. Shayera didn't know how, but her tongue ended up in his mouth…which was new for her…battling his tongue as he sucked and gently bit her lower lip, causing her to release a long, drawn out moan she tried very hard to contain. Bruce abruptly broke the kiss while pulling his cowl over his head, leaving her breathless. "Don't die," he said as he turned and walked away from her. Shayera herself was in a happy stupor. She placed her hand against her chest, willing her racing heart to slow, as she leaned back against the wall. Her face felt…hot. She needed some air. After a few seconds, she straightened and began to walk to the monitor room. Her legs felt like jell-o . "I'll be in the Batwing," Batman was saying to Superman and Wonder Woman, who looked up when Shayera entered the room.
"You okay, Shayera?" Wonder Woman asked with a knowing smirk. "Your face looks…flushed."
"I'm fine," Shayera said, looking down, pretending to check her weapons.
"Robin and Red Robin are helping where they can in Gotham," Batman said. "I'll be in constant contact with them."
"Sounds good," Superman said. "Are you ready, Shayera?" he asked.
"Let's do this," Shayera answered.
