This takes place during and after the end of 'Legends'. Tell me what you think!


Back on the watchtower, the members were gathered around as Wally told the Superman and Batman about their adventure with the Justice Guild of America.

"You should've been there. It was so freaky. Those cornball villains with their bad puns. And the heroes with the decoder rings. What's up with that? Still Black Siren was a hottie."

Walking toward the group, Hawkgirl couldn't help but notice that a certain member was missing.

"Where's GL?" Looking around them and finally spotting him on a lower level, Hawkgirl flew down behind him.

As she walked towards him she asked him, "Are you ok?"

He looked away from her as he answered. "It's stupid really. Why should I feel like this? I mean, they weren't even real."

She hated to see him like this. So, to comfort him, she put one hand on his shoulder and the other on his arm, and leaned closely towards him.

"They gave their lives for us, that's real enough for me." Together they turned towards the window and looked out towards space.


After watching space for awhile, John turned towards Hawkgirl. "Thanks."

She looked at him. "For what?"

"For making me feel better."

She smiled slightly. "I'm sure you'd do the same for me."

Nodding, he agreed with her. "Why don't I take you out for a drink? My city, my treat."

Her smiled faded. "I'm not sure that would be a good idea."

His only grew. "Come on. I'll take you somewhere that's sure to give you a fight."

'What's the harm?' Shayera asked herself. Smiling once more toward the man who makes her heart flutter and her fists clench, she laughed.

"Ok, let's go. If there aren't any fights, you'll have to do."

John moved away from the window. "Don't worry, I'm sure there're plenty of idiots who think they can take you, and if there aren't, I know I could take you."

Putting her hand to her trusty mace, she flashed John a playful smile, "You sure about that Marine?"

He laughed. "Maybe. I've seen what that mace can do. But, on the other hand, I'm sure you wouldn't want to mess this face up."

"Try me."

As she walked towards the hangar, John mumbled to himself.

"Oh, I plan to."

He didn't tell her yet, but John would.

Soon.

For now, he'd take her out and try to find out if she felt the same. And he strongly believed she did.
