I DON'T OWN JL.

Superman sat in the room that Clerig had offered to them. Around him Lantern and J'onn were both sleeping, if you could call what J'onn did sleep. He felt himself growing even more tired as the minutes ticked by. He hadn't slept for at least two days and only Batman could go any longer without sleep. He closed his eyes and vaguely wondered how Shayera and Diana were holding up in their room. John had suggested that each lady should receive her own room, but when a group of injured soldiers limped into the hall, Clerig had given them the last available room. He checked the tracker that was beeping quietly; it still hadn't found Darksied's ship. Clark pulled up at a blanket and drifted off into an uneasy sleep.

" Would you just listen to me?" Shayera shouted,

" You have nothing to say that I have already heard." Hawkgirl was standing on the far side of the room, near the door, while Diana was next to the window.

" Diana—"

" You are a traitor! Do you not realize that? You say you didn't know what Talak was planning, but if you didn't why did you let them imprison us?"

" I thought you were trying to stop us from building the shield!"

" Why would we try to stop you if you were really helping us?" Shayera froze. She hadn't considered that possibility. Everything had moved so fast when she saw her warriors attacking her friends.

" I…I never thought of it like that." The Amazon snorted,

" That's obvious. Do you know what every one went through in that prison? Our weakness' were exploited…because of YOU!" The last words exploded from Diana's mouth with such a fury that Shayera took a step back,

" I know. And nothing I do can change that. Please, after we find Batman and Flash…I'll leave and never come back."

Diana turned her back on the Winged Warrior, " Good."

Diana still kept her back turned as she listened to the door of the room open and close. With a sigh she sat down onto her bed and began to cry. She had been planning on what she would say to Hawkgirl if she ever saw her again and now that the scenario finally came into play, she realized how wrong she had been to treat Shayera like she did. Wally was right; she had been in the ultimate no win situation. And she couldn't change that fact no matter how much she wished she could.

Shayera's eyes were filled with tears. Diana was right and she knew that. She walked alone in the torch lit halls, sniffing as quietly as possible, so she wouldn't disturb anyone else.

" Shay?" She whirled around and found herself face to face with John, " What's wrong?"

" Nothing. I'm fine. I didn't wake you did I?" He shrugged, then shook his head,

" No." He stooped quickly and placed his hand on hers and led her away from the hallway. He turned down another hallway and opened a small wooden door. She followed him inside and gazed around the room. The only light was from a steel chandler that was covered with candles. In the middle of the room was a round wooden table and at least four chairs. He sat down in one and she took the one across from him.

" John—"

" Shay let me start. First off, I don't know what Diana said but her feelings do not reflect everyone else's, ok?"

" I know John."

" Shay…what happened after you left?"

" Many things. I couldn't stay on Earth, so I traveled to a nearby planet. They had heard of the invasion and chased me away. I had no choice but to come back to Earth, but with everyone cursing my name, I couldn't come back as Hawkgirl. I reshaped my old mask and dyed my wings and hair. I even gave up my mace for one of Parran's electricity sticks…you know the one she used on J'onn…of course that didn't last long and with the help of an old friend I found a place here."

" Old friend?"

" Dr. Fate. He transported me here and told me that I would be recognized as Myusa."

Shayera placed her hands on the table and sniffed loudly. John moved two seats over and placed an arm on her shoulder,

" I've missed you." She nuzzled his neck,

" I've missed you too."

" You're probably the only one." She gave her joke a half-hearted laugh and John brought his other arm and pulled her into a hug,

" Not true. Wally missed you like crazy…he couldn't eat for two days." Shayera laughed a little louder at John's joke, but her tears still kept falling. John shifted and locked gazes with her,

" You know when you left you never let me finish my sentence." She stared at him, somewhat puzzled.

He leaned in a brought his lips closer to her own,

" I love you, Shayera." As though a great weight had been lifted from her, Shayera leaned into John's kiss, murmuring,

" I love you too."
