Zattana snapped her fingers at Shayera's face, "Hey you in there?"
"You could at least cook us breakfast once in a while." Zattana pinched her friend's leg.
"Ouch." Shayera swatted her with a pillow, "Hey. Quit it."
"How hard can it be? You just - break the eggs - into the pan. Freeloading sack of.."
"Fine. I'll cook you breakfast." Shayera snatched the remote back, "Tomorrow. Swear." Her friend slapped her face with the pillow, her reply was a muffled, "I love you too sweety."
The pillow slid down and her eyes turned to the breaking news.
"I hope the Justice League get here soon." A police officer said on camera, motioning toward a pile of wrecked cars, on top of which stood Toyman, Livewire, Weather Wizard, Kalibak and Metallo. "They've been asking for Superman."
Toyman was wearing an exoskeleton that looked like a big toy robot, he shot toy darts at the cops, blowing up anything they attached to, including the police cars gathered ahead. When the explosion subsided, the street lay waste in the hands of the villains.
"You said he'd come," Kalibak growled at Metallo.
"A matter of time. The big guy is fond of this stunt."
"Incoming. I'm sensing a large mass, headed this way fast." Weather Wizard reported to the group.
"Get ready Toyman," Metallo shrieked.
"This will be fun," Toyman aimed at the sky, his eternal grin was unnerving.
"That's no Superman," Livewire shouted.
"Fucking super friends," Kalibak scoffed.
Toyman took aim at GL, shooting toy darts his way. GL wrapped himself in a force field to shield himself from the explosion. At the same time, Flash came from the side running toward Weather Wizard who created snow that froze the ground, making it too slippery for the speedster to walk or run on. Kalibak tackled Batman, they began swinging hooks at each other, with the Bats mostly dodging. Superman was being pounded by a car, Metallo was using as a weapon.
Seeing his methods were effective, Weather Wizard didn't waste any time bringing down the superhero, he created a tornado that sucked Flash in. When the twister subsided Flash is buried under a heap of cars and wreckage; Livewire proceeded to electrocute him, rendering him unconscious. Batman is thrown in the air by Kalibak; he shot a grappling hook and the cable retracted upward as Kalibak charged him. Metallo opened his chest to reveal a kryptonite, the stone that's been powering his body, Superman can't move, remaining buried in the ground.
Out of nowhere, the debris on top of Flash is being lifted one by one. Flash looked up and saw Diana.
"Where you been all my life?" Flash smiled at her.
"Hang in there buddy."
As soon as Diana lifted the last wreckage remaining, Flash sprang to life and hugged her, "We've missed you. Are you staying long? For good?"
With their backs turned from her, Livewire sent a jolt of electricity toward them. Diana used her lasso to bind her torso and arms, and Flash took the rope and speedily wrapped it around her whole body. Diana looked around, searching for who else needs assistance and saw Superman not moving, she hovered above Metallo who was standing over Superman, chest opened.
"How do you like my new heart?" Metallo mocked the unconscious man of steel.
Diana landed behind him and tapped his shoulder. The villain turned around and Diana grabbed the rock and pulverized it with her free hand. A horrid expression stayed frozen on Metallo's face who ran low on energy and couldn't move. She was helping Superman onto his feet, just as Kalibak hit her with a car from behind. Behind Kalibak Shayera hit him with her energy mace.
"Why you stupid bird," Kalibak tried to grab one of her wings. But Shayera jabbed her mace repeatedly at his face and knocked him unconscious. She quickly flew over to where Diana was and carried her to safety, Flash appeared beside her.
"Flash look after Diana. Don't leave her."
"Okay." Flash quickly obeyed.
"Don't - leave her. I got this."
"Missed you too," Flash shouted after her.
She turned her attention to Toyman, charging him and swinging his mace left and right, hitting and breaking the exoskeleton into pieces. Toyman tried to run but GL caught him with his energy ring and trapped him inside a makeshift prison.
"Hey stranger," GL smiled at Shayera.
"Hey yourself."
"You know, this is official League business. Seeing as you're not league anymore. You aren't suppose to meddle."
"I just saved your ass."
"Didn't need any saving." GL stepped closer toward her.
Shayera took another step toward him, shifted her mace to the other hand, "That's gratitude for you."
"Why you gotta be so cocky?"
"Right back at ya."
Standing face to face now, just when you thought tension was mounting, GL started laughing, putting one hand on her shoulder. She started chuckling herself. John reached out and hugged her, thinking it was no big deal, she returned the sentiment.
From afar, Diana was coming to. Flash helped her up, "Easy now. I know you're an Amazon but that was a Hummer you got aassaulted with."
Diana just smiled. From a distance she could see a winged redhead standing close to John, they were hugging each other. She remembered the fight she had with John and wondered if she could get him to partake in round 2. While she was busy musing, Batman grabbed her and gave her a hug.
"Diana, you've come back."
"Hold on. I'm not staying long."
"Really?" Batman motioned his head toward Shayera, "I heard she's back. So I figured you are too."
"What? Shayera's back in the league?" She turned to Flash, whom Batman was scowling at.
"Uhh. Yep. Yes. She is. Back." Flash looked at Batman who grinned in appreciation while nodding.
Flash started hugging her, when Superman walked over to them, smiling at her. "Hey, I want some of that." And the two guys gave her a hug as Shayera flew to where they were.
"My lungs hurt." Her voice was muffled.
"Can I cut in?" Shayera spoke as they released her.
Diana stepped out of them, "I think I'm all hugged out today."
"Okay." Shayera was offended, "I'm just glad you're okay."
"I think I'm just gonna mosey along," Flash was gone in the blink of an eye.
"Yeah. Batman and I are gonna go round up Livewire and the rest." Superman was scratching the back of his head. Batman was already walking away.
Diana grabbed his arm, "Clark, I'm back on board, by the way. Is that a problem?"
"No, of course not. I'll inform J'onn immediately."
"You're back in the league?" Shayera's voice was one octave higher.
"Yes."
"Yeah, well - so am I."
"This is great news. We've missed you guys. I can't wait.." Before Superman could finish, Diana flew over to Livewire, making sure she is secured. Shayera also took to the sky in another direction.
