"Well looky at who it is," Green Arrow stated with a smirk to the Green Lantern as he dropped in the seat next to him. Originally Oliver was supposed to be on monitor duty with Shayera; which was a normal occurrence at least three times a week. It was much to Oliver's surprise, and somewhat disappointment, to see John there instead. The archer then dropped his bag of McDonald's on the console in front of him. He then leaned back in his chair and placed his feet up on the console. "Ah now this is the life. Get to sit back and relax and have a nice quiet breakfast in the Watchtower."

John shot him an incredulous look, indicating his disapproval of Green Arrow's actions, "Really? McDonald's? You're a billionaire. You could eat anything you wanted and you chose McDonald's?"

Green Arrow pulled out a wrapped sandwich from the bag and shrugged as he looked over to the Green Lantern, "So? I happen to love a good Egg McMuffin with bacon from time to time. Plus the girl at the place I go gives me an extra piece of bacon and cheese. Real sweetheart."

John rolled his eyes, "More like heart attack on a muffin. You know how unhealthy that stuff is for you? You're going to clog your arteries eating stuff like that."

Green Arrow took a bite before replying with his mouth full, "Says you, at least Shayera doesn't complain about what we eat for breakfast." He then took a hash brown out of the bag and held it out to John, "Hash brown? I got like six of them in here. They were supposed to be Shayera's. Though probably not and you probably don't want her sandwich right?"

John frowned as he slightly narrowed his eyes, "You're feeding her McDonald's?"

Oliver shrugged as he then bit into the hash brown, "Yeah she loves it. I got it for lunch once for me and Dinah but Dinah got called off on a mission and all that good stuff. Anyways I had monitor duty with Shayera and shared it with her. Short story is that she loved it. So I told her once a week breakfast would be on me since we share morning monitor duty with each other every Thursday. I got her hooked on the hash browns."

John's frown deepened as he glared at the man next to him, "What made you even remotely think that would be okay to feed her? She's pregnant and should be eating healthy. McDonald's has no nutritional value at all."

Oliver gave John an unamused look as he took his feet off of the console and sat up straight, "Really? You're gonna moan to me about what I get your wife to eat once a week? Who's the one who gets her Chinese food nearly every night?"

"That's...that's completely different!" John insisted in a flustered tone.

"I don't see how," Oliver retorted. "That stuff is loaded with sodium and MSG. If anything that's way worse than the food I get her."

"At least it has vegetables and she'll willingly eat it," John grumbled.

Oliver raised an eyebrow under his mask as he slowly smiled, "Oh I see what it is."

John gave him a confused look, "What are you talking about?"

"That's what Shayera's been craving and you're so whipped that you can't say no to her," Oliver said to him and immediately waved his hand in front of the Green Lantern's face when John tried to protest. "No, no, no I don't want to hear any of that. You are totally whipped. You're married for only four months and she's got you wrapped about her finger."

John let out a heavy sigh through his nose as he defiantly looked away, "I am not whipped. I simply just want to keep Shayera comfortable."

Oliver leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms over his chest with a highly amused look on his face, "Whipped."

"So if Dinah ever gets pregnant you aren't going to go out of your way for her?" John asked him with a raised eyebrow. "Because last time I checked you can't tell her no either."

"Oh I can too tell her no," Green Arrow confidently replied. "In face, I just did last night. She wanted pizza for dinner and I didn't so we compromised."

"And the end result?"

"We got pepperoni pizza instead. Win-win right there bud," he stated with a wink.

John rolled his eyes, "I don't see how exactly."

"Because I originally wanted hoagies so it was a trade off. At least I got pepperoni; that's close enough to salami," Green Arrow then paused for a moment. "So did Shayera make you take her monitor duty shift? Couldn't say no?"

John glanced over at him and lightly shook his head, "She woke up with a splitting headache. I wasn't about to let her sit here for hours looking at a computer screen."

"Can't believe something like pregnancy can even bring someone like Shayera down. She probably needs a couple of days off. I can't even remember the last time I saw that woman take off and I don't mean take a day off because she was injured."

"Yeah that's the problem," John mentioned as he sighed. "She doesn't like taking it easy."

Oliver leaned back in his seat and shrugged, "Guess she's not as rough and tough as-" Oliver then yelped in surprise as his chair was yanked away and he fell onto his back. He slowly opened his eyes to see an irate Thanagarian glaring down at him with her arms crossed over her chest. Oliver quickly stood with a nervous grin on his face, "Hey Shayera, we were just talking about you. Great to see you by the way. Did anyone tell you at all that you are just absolutely glowing?"

Shayera's glare was now accompanied by a scowl as she spoke, "I could hear you...both of you." She then directed her glare towards John, who slightly shrunk down in his seat. "I recall saying that I just needed another hour of sleep. I never once said that you needed to take my monitor duty shift nor did you ask if you could. You just took it upon yourself to come here."

"I um...it's just...you see...that well it's um..." John fumbled with his words as he could feel his wife's glare piercing straight through him. "Um sorry?"

Shayera remained silent for a moment before her expression softened a bit and she glanced at Green Arrow, "Scram Ollie."

"Perfect, I really had to do something with Dinah," Green Arrow slowly began to back away from the Thanagarian. "By the way, there's five hash browns and an Egg McMuffin with sausage if you want it. I didn't forget about breakfast. I'll see you next week."

Shayera watched as Oliver jogged towards the doors before she flopped herself down in the seat next to the Green Lantern. The two sat in silence for over five minutes. John looked over at her to see that the Thanagarian looked deep in thought.

John cleared his throat before he spoke, "So um...you still angry at me?"

"I'm annoyed at you but not angry," she replied with a small frown. She then glanced at the McDonald's bag before looking at John, "You going to eat that?"

"No but," John then bit the inside of his cheek to stop himself from lecturing her about her diet. He instead leaned forward so that he could grab the bag to hand it to her, "You can have it."

Shayera smirked as she took the bag from him, "Thanks but I do have a question. It's about something Ollie mentioned."

"What is it?" He asked her.

Shayera tilted her head in curiosity, "What does whipped mean?"

"Woohoo! Oh man is this great!" Guy Gardner shouted as he flew threw space. "I can't remember the last time I got to see Earth. I'm definitely getting a hotdog. With sweet relish and spicy mustard. Maybe a corndog too while I'm at it."

"We won't be here for long. Besides, it's only been three years since you left Earth," Kyle retorted with a frown. "Try not being on Earth for seven years and come talk to me. Hell John went a whole decade without seeing Earth. Three years is nothing compared to that."

"Well three years is too long for this Green Lantern. I'm sure everyone on Earth missed me. I mean who wouldn't?" Guy asked Kyle with a cocky grin.

"Yeah I'm sure they missed you like a flea," Kyle mumbled before he spoke up. "We're not exactly going on a good note though, remember that. We have to be professional and courteous when we're there. We're going to be dealing with the Justice League too after all."

Guy waved him off, "Justice League, Schmustice League. They'll love me; you'll see."

Kyle shook his head as he looked forward, "Look John isn't the type who'll joke around with you. Let me do the talking."

"And if he refuses then I get to hit him over the head, right?"

Kyle groaned, "What did I do for the Guardians to send you with me?"

Guy smirked, "You must have done something right for them to allow you the privilege of being with the greatest Green Lantern alive."

"More like the most annoying Green Lantern alive," Kyle retorted as the Watchtower came into view. He sighed in relief, "Thank God we're here. Remember let me do the talking."

"Yeah, yeah we'll do it your boring way," Guy replied with an eyeroll. "Never been in the Watchtower before. Looks fancy schmancy."

"It is pretty state of the art," Kyle casually stated as he flew up to the hanger bay door. "Wayne Enterprises spared no expense."

"So we just knock or something?" Guy asked.

Kyle smirked as he flew over to a control panel, "Watch and learn the perks of being a reserve member of the Justice League." Kyle began to type on the small keypad next to the door. His smirk quickly disappeared when the code he put in was denied. He scratched the back of his head and muttered, "Could have sworn that was it. Maybe it was this then." His next code was as well denied.

Kyle proceeded in putting in several other codes before a female voice came through the small speaker in the keypad, "Who in the hell is trying to get in?"

Kyle immediately recognized the voice, "Shayera it's me. You know, Kyle Rayner? You're second favorite GL?"

Shayera lightly chuckled before she asked, "What are you doing here Rayner?"

"Is that the hot Thanagarian chick you told me about?" Guy asked as he pushed Kyle out of the way. "This is Guy Gardner, the Green Lantern extraordinaire."

"Right," Shayera slowly responded. "I heard plenty about you."

"Considering I am the most talented and handsome Green Lantern there is that isn't a surprise," Guy replied in a cocky tone. "So what does a guy like me have to do to get a date with a girl like you?"

Kyle groaned as he shook his head, "You idiot."

"What do you want Guy?" This time an irritated sounding male voice came over the speaker.

"Johnny boy!" Guy exclaimed. "It's been so long since I last saw ya! How ya been?"

"Not long enough," John mumbled. "What's with the unannounced visit?"

Kyle scratched the back of his head as he hesitated for a moment, "Well...the Guardians sent us here John. We can talk about it more inside once you let us in."

"Why would they send them here?" Shayera could be heard asking. "It's not like you did anything wrong."

"John hasn't been back to Oa in months," Guy stated as Kyle waved at him to stop talking. "They tried summoning him there for over three months now. Plus he's been ignoring his sector. Either Kyle or someone from the Honor Guard has to come out and do the work for him."

"You did what!?" Both Guy and Kyle winced when Shayera yelled. "What in the hell were you thinking!?"

"Geez you'd think that was his wife or something yelling at him like that," Guy said to Kyle as they could hear Shayera continue to yell at John over the speaker. "Damn she sounds like a handful. On second thought I don't think I'd want to date her."

"That is his wife you moron," Kyle looked unamused. "That's why I tried to get you to shut up. Shayera has a nasty temper."

Guy was silent for a moment before he spoke again, "But you said that she was hot."

"Yeah and what does that have to do with anything?"

"How in the hell did someone like John get a hot wife?"

Kyle groaned and then shook his head, "That doesn't matter right now." He then turned his attention back to the keypad, "Hey um can you let us in now?"

Their only response was the Thanagarian's tirade still coming over the speaker. Both of the Green Lanterns looked at each other.

"Think they'll let us in?" Guy asked. "Or is John's wife actually gonna kill him?"

Kyle shrugged, "I can only hope she won't."
