The reasons why this chapter took so long: moving, I need to Quit my Day Job, and World of Warcraft. Sorry, but here's the new chapter!

The two are walking side by side down the street, when suddenly Batman stops. Shayera looks at him in alarm, "What is it Bruce?" she asks.

"Its been a few hours," he answers.

Shayera looks away from him, and sits down on the curb. "Bruce...I don't really know how to talk about this. With you," she says.

Bruce takes a seat next to her, "Go with blunt. Your good with blunt," he tells her.

Shayera chuckles a bit, she is good with blunt. "I lost John, and that hurt. I have come to like the woman he is with now, which is just plain frustrating. What is worse of all, what just rips at my heart, is Rex. I'm supposed to have a son, and he won't give him to me," Shayera explains, tears welling up in her eyes. "I've never even thought about having children before John told me about Rex. Now I'm grieving about a son I've never had to begin with," she looks into the eyes of the large man sitting beside her, "You are the smartest person I know Bruce, please say something."

The Dark Knight is silent for a few moments, think over his response carefully, until finally he says, "The future John and I saw, was twisted and deformed because of paradoxes caused by a foolish time traveler. Even if it wasn't, I don't believe in fate. I believe each person's destiny is carved by their own actions," Shayera sighs heavily upon hearing those words and her face shows her devastation, "and I believe without a shadow of a doubt that you will see Rex Stewart someday."

She blinks and looks up at him shocked, "But...why?" she stammers.

"John loves you," he answers, "He cares deeply for Vixen, and he would never want to hurt her. But when he thinks of a family of his own, when he closes his eyes pictures happiness, it is you he sees. You are the other half of his soul. One day he'll realize that, and then he will do what he must to be with you again."

The Thanagarian woman stares at him in disbelief, Does anyone truly know you Bruce? she thinks to herself. "How are you so sure he'll make that decision?" she asks.

Bruce smiles, "Faith. I'm a lot like you in some ways. I don't truly have faith in any higher power. There are some things I do put my faith in, one of them is you Shayera Hol," he answers. That having said, he stands and helps her to her feet, and they continue their way down the street.

Then a thought hits to her. "If you really have so much faith in me, why did you vote against me after the invasion?" she asks.

The Batman smiles. "Because I knew the League would never vote you out," he answers.

"Come again?" Shayera asks, confused.

"I new that, other then Diana, none of the founding members would have voted against you. So because I didn't want Wonder Woman to feel alienated, and I needed to maintain my image, I voted against safe in the knowledge that you wouldn't be thrown out," he clarifies.

She mulls that over before asking, "Then how would you have voted if all the others going to vote against me?"

He shrugs, "I would have abstained," he answers.

Shayera laughs, "You are a real piece of work, you know that Bruce?" she asks him.

"I've been called worse," he answers.

TBC! There is still more, but I would like some more reviews!
