Shayera Hol sat on Diana's bed, spilling all the details of what had

occured moments before.

" And your STILL not sure about this?" Said the Amazon with a

disbelieving look on her face.

" We don't know what 'this' is. And look who's talking Miss-grew-up

on-women-only-island." Diana sighed, laying back on her couch. But

she smiled after a moment.

" You thinking about YOUR love-life?" The woman choked on air,

nearly falling off the couch. When she was up, a blush was clearly

evident on her face, despite the small fact that her entire face was the

same color.

" I have no idea what you're talking about."

" Ah, so that peck on the cheek in Gorilla City didn't happen then?"

Diana glared at her.

" Damn you and your memory...." Shayera laughed loudly. It was

obviously louder than either thought, for the enxt moment J'onn poked

his head through the door.

" What makes you laugh so, Hawkgirl?" He said in his flat voice. Both

women went red.

" Um...nothing."

" Ah, love. I see." And then he left, leaving Shayera shocked. But then

she gasped and ran out the door, following the tall Martian.

" I need another opinion! Bye Di!" Breathlessly, she soon found herself

in the corridor leading to J'onn's room. Calmly, she knocked.

" Come in Hawkgirl." She shivered, hating that he always knew that.

" J'onn, can...I ask you something..personal?" She shifted, not sure

how to bring up the painful memories her question would bring back to her

friend.

" Certainly."

" Well....I don't know how to ask this. I don't want to.."

" Upset me? Do not fret, I cannot try to push my past away and live a good life."

" ok." She plopped down on an armchair by the window, collecting her breath.

" How did you know what you and..your wife...had was love?" J'onn looked

genuinly shocked for a moment before his face relaxed into a smile of memory.

" Ahh....and you said it would be painful. Yes, I remember how I knew. It was

a feeling of..how do Earthlings say it? Rightness? Yes, thats it. Ma'yr'ah ( I hope

thats right!) felt a part of me, and my heart stopped when I saw her at ease. Thats

the key, or so it was with me." He fell silent, but Shayera noticed his smile, and

she blushed lightly.

" So, go see Lantern when he's at his apartment. Then you'll know, I hope. But

if you'd like my blunt opinion, you two have been 'dancing around the issue' for far

too long. Your almost just like Ma'yr'ah and myself." Standing up, Shayera took

a deep breath.

" Thank you." She gave him a half hug and made a mental note to buy all the

mint-cream oreos she could find next time she had money.

" Now, if I can only get Bats to perhaps find a way to hide my wings....."

She walked out with this thought in her mind, ignoring the Martian behind her,

who was off in La-La Land with his beloved memories.

" And why do you want this done?"

"......can't I tell you later, when I'm not tense and nervous?"

" Ah. So it's John. Fine, give me a few hours." Shayera blinked.

" Is it that obvious?"

" Yes."

"........"

" Ok, a few hours. I can wait that long." And gracefully, Shayera dodged the wires

and cords in Batman's room, which doubled as a workshop when he chose to stay

in the Watchtower. She only needed clothes to wear in her 'human' disguise. And

that meant finding Queen Audrey's cell phone number. Finding it in Diana's book,

she quickly used her phone to dial up the fashion-obsessed Monarch.

" Hello?"

" Hello your Majesty. This is Shayera, I'm a friend of Wonder Woman and I need

your expert advise, if your not too busy."

" Oh! Well, what is it?"

" I need to find something to wear..I'm sort of going to suprise someone and-"

" Not another word! I'm DYING to do some shopping! And bring Wonder Woman too!"

" Certainly."

*************************************************************

" So, whats your style? Hmm...." Audrey looked at Shayera from a short distance,

sqinting in concentration.

" I'd say...lets go with a sort of half goth/ half princess look. That'll work."

Turning on her heels, Audrey motioned for them to follow, flanked by only a few

good guards. Diana shook her head, but smiled anyway as she grabbed Shayera's

arm and followed. Once in the high-class department store, the three of them went

to town, Audrey telling Shayera not too worry about the money.

" The family fortune I have is more than most people would make in six hundred

lifetimes, don't worry your red head about it." After four hours, Shayera had three

large bags, Diana one, and Audrey six.

" I hope your sense of style is dead on...."

" Trust me. In those clothes, your Marine won't be able to move for a long while."
