A:N- Short chapter, I know. Oh well…C'est la vie(:
"She loves me. She's like the big sister I never had; only... you know. Short."
When Shayera made it to the watchtower, J'onn sent her on a mission. It was simple. Cheetah and Copper attempting to rob a bank. A swing here and a swing there and the pair were down and cuffed. She didn't even have a team. She was just about healed up.
"J'onn. That was easy. Why send me?"
He didn't look up from the let's he was typing on. "I wasn't sure if you were healed. By the looks of it I'd say you are doing just fine." He finished with a smile. "By the way, there are people looking for you." She looked at him.
"Who?"
"Wally, Mari, and John."
'Uh oh' she thought. 'Wally first. Then...whoever finds me.' "Where's Wally?"
His eyes shone orange as he searched with his mind. "He's eating." He replied with a smile. She thanked him and flew down then walked to the cafeteria.
Just as J'onn said, there was Wally with a tray, or 2, of food. "Shayera! Mari is looking for you."
Shayera nodded. "So I hear. Any idea why?" She asked taking some chips off his tray.
"Nope. She was looking for John too." She could feel his masked eyes watching her closely. She bit her bottom lip.
"Oh my God. You slept with him didn't you?"
She looked around them alarmed. 'Wally! Be quiet. You don't know who will hear!"
He looked at her in shock, his mouth open. "You did? I was just kidding. Oh my God. When did it happen?"
She was going to have a heart attack of he didn't stop. "Wally I swear on Thanagar itself, I will make you the fastest man alive with a limp if you don't stop shouting!"
He laughed. "I just can't believe it."
She sighed and lowered her voice. "Listen it happened 2 days ago. Last night I went to his place for dinner.
His eyes widened. "Mari must know if she's looking for you and John."
'Shit' Shayera thought.
"You have to tell me everything." Wally insisted scooting closer to her.
She looked at him and rolled her eyes. "Nothing happened last night. I went to John's for dinner watched some movies, went to see Carter. That's it."
He grinned at her. "Saw Carter? That late. Wow Shayera. Never thought you'd be one to sleep with a guy after a date with another guy." She laughed and punched his arm
"You idiot. I didn't sleep with him." Still laughing she got up and said "I'm going to find Mari. I'll talk to you later."
She found Mari in one of the lounge areas. There were a few of them. Each had a big TV, a pool table, a couple tables and chairs, and great views of space. Mari was watching a news covering of a modeling show.
'She probably went to that one.' She thought to herself.
"Soo." Shayera started. "I hear you're looking for me."
Mari looked up towards her. "You heard right."
Shayera walked towards her and sat down on a chair near her. "What do you need?"
Mari sighed. "How was your night?"
"My night was fine." She said cautiously.
"Hmmm." Mari replied. "How was that date?"
"It was…ok."
"Uh huh"
"Mari, just get to the point."
Mari narrowed her eyes slightly. "Tell me the truth. Was John the last person you saw last night?"
Shayera met her gaze. "No. The last person I saw last night was Carter. After I ran into you I saw John. Then I went to Carter's, and then I went to go see some mountains and watch the sun rise. By myself." Shayera stood up. "You can even ask Carter." And then she left.
