Another quick note about the characters:

John is the Green Lantern. He used to date Shayera before her betrayal. He visited the future with Batman once where he met his son, Warhawk. Warhawk's mother is Shayera. He chose to stay with his current love interest Vixen (Mari), in spite of what he learned. At one point, Carter Hol presented himself as Hawkman and vied for Shayera's affections, but she turned him down, and he realized that she would choose John over him.

Martian Manhunter is J'onn. Kinda confusing the whole John and J'onn thing, but they are indeed two different superheroes. Manhunter is trying to absorb as much of the culture of Earth as he can, because although he fights for Earth, he doesn't really care for mankind. He has the able to shape shift, and phase through objects. He also can read people's minds.

"She what?" John barked.

"She is sleeping with Wonder Woman, John. How else do I need to make this clear to you?" Vixen questioned.

"She can't be. Shayera is, well, not inclined to..."

"What? Speaking from past experience?" Vixen barbed.

"Enough Mari. Tread lightly." John threatened.

"Why," she railed, "because your perfect Hawkgirl has moved on?"

"Mari." John's tone was getting darker.

"No John. You don't intimidate me. And I am tired of not talking about the elephant in the room. Because your ex is screwing someone else, and your reaction is less than thrilling. Why are you with me? It's obvious that you still care for her."

"Of course I do. But I moved on..."

"Moved on? No declaration of love for me. Just moved on to the next warm body?"

"That isn't what I meant."

"Of course not. The noble Green Lantern..."

"Mari..."

"Shut it John. You are jealous. Not only is she seeing someone else, but that other person is a woman. Admit it, you freaked out when Carter Hol was professing his love to her. Now you are dealing with a whole different animal. You can't stand the fact that she isn't pining away for you. She isn't hoping that you'll change your mind and come back to her."

"That isn't what this is about."

"No? Then tell me what it is."

"Our son."

"What?" Vixen was floored. "You have a son with her?"

"Yes. No. Sort of. I met a hero by the name of Warhawk when Batman and I traveled to the future. He was my son. Our son, Shayera's and mine."

"And you somehow forgot to tell mention this to me? Does she know?"

"Yes," he muttered.

"Let me get this straight. She knows and you know and yet you still aren't together?"

"Yes."

"You two are strange."

"I will not allow some future anything to dictate who I am or with."

"Your son is hardly an anything. Does anyone else know?"

Lantern shrugged his shoulders.

"I wonder if she told Diana." Vixen muttered.

"It doesn't matter. And it isn't your place to tell her."

"Are you really still protecting her?"

"She deserves to be happy Vixen. Don't ruin that for her."

"Damn it John. I deserve that too."

"Mari, I didn't say you didn't. I think we are happy together. And I chose you. Even knowing what I know. That has to count for something."

Vixen softened. "It does."

John smiled. "You know I love you."

"That's what you say."

"Come here and I will show you."

"Naughty boy."

Diana returned to the Watch Tower drained physically and emotionally. Martian Manhunter greeted her on the transport platform.

"Diana, welcome back."

"J'onn. Thank you."

"I need a moment to speak to you."

Diana sighed. "Can it wait? I am exhausted."

"Let me walk with you to your quarters?"

Diana nodded in ascent.

"Diana, I have a strange request to make. As you know, I have been immersing myself into all of Earth's cultures. Each one is rich with history, and the experience has been enlightening and fascinating. It is my sincerest wish to study all of mankind." Diana just listened.

"You see, I would like an audience with your mother."

Diana stopped dead in her tracks. "My mother?"

"Yes. I realize that your mother will view me as a man, but technically I am a Martian."

"Well, I don't think my mother will see it that way."

"I am aware that it will be difficult, but I am only asking that you try. The Amazon's way of life is part of Earth's culture. I wish to learn from them."

"You know you could just morph yourself into a woman and go?" Diana giggled a little.

"I have no desire to deceive Queen Hippolyta." J'onn deadpanned.

"It was a joke."

"Since when do you tell jokes?"

"Shayera tells me I need to lighten up a bit. Was the joke not funny?"

"I am sure Flash would have laughed."

Diana rolled her eyes. Flash.

"Well I will work on it then."

"Perhaps not on me though. I am afraid your humor might be lost on me."

"Very well J'onn. I will talk to my mother, but don't get your hopes up. I do not think she will be amiable."

"Thank you Diana."

"J'onn, can I ask your advice on something?"

"Of course."

"You and I are private people. But I am faced with my private life becoming public very soon."

"Is that what you want?"

"I do. But my relationship will cause some issues for the League."

"In what way?"

"I am seeing a member."

"Most of the League superheroes do date each other. I don't see why it would be an issue."

"It's Shayera."

"I see. Congratulations. I hope you are both happy."

"Thank you J'onn, but you see how this could get complicated."

"I do. But those who have a problem are the problem themselves."

"I agree. But I don't want there to be issues with team assignments."

"Say no more Diana. I understand. I will keep this in mind when assigning members to tasks."

"I feel I shouldn't ask, but if something were to happen, I..."

"Diana, my friend, do not worry."

Diana nodded her head. Manhunter lifted his chin as if listening to a conversation.

"Diana, Lantern is approaching, and his thoughts are very loud."

"How angry is he?"

"Very."

"J'onn, would you mind giving us a moment?"

"Of course." J'onn phased through the floor just as Lantern rounded the corner.

"Diana!" he roared. Diana drew in a deep breath and turned around.

"Yes Lantern?"

"What is this that I am hearing about you and Shayera?"

"That depends on what it is you have heard, and how much of it is actually your business?"

"Shayera is my business."

"Hmmm...arguable, but get to the point. I am tired."

"I want you to understand that I love Shayera, and want what is best for her."

"Which is you I am guessing."

"No. That is not what I am saying."

"Really?" Diana was surprised.

"But I am not clear on your intentions here."

"Back to what I said before...why does this concern you?"

"Because Shayera has been through a lot. And you haven't always been her most ardent supporter. I don't want her hurt. So make sure you know what you are doing here."

Diana cocked an eyebrow, "Are you threatening me?"

"You take it however you want to. But you keep it in the back of your mind."

"Lantern, I appreciate that you are doing this out of loyalty to Shayera, but now let me warn you in turn. Don't presume to know my intentions, feelings, or anything related to Shayera. Because frankly the last time I checked there aren't 3 people in this relationship. Worry about your girlfriend and I will worry about mine. Goodnight."

Lantern opened his mouth to respond, but Diana walked by him and entered her room. The door shut in his face.

"This isn't over Diana," he mumbled, and walked away.

A/N: Leave a review. It makes me so happy. And for the record, I can't stand Vixen.
