Silence.

More silence.

Shayera looked at Diana and pleaded, "Diana, let's talk about this somewhere else. Let Superman decide what to tell the press."

"No," Diana replied, "let's talk about it here. Our business seems to be everyone else's anyways."

"Yes, let's…" Lantern leaned back and smiled.

Diana wanted to hit something, badly. "So, you have a son with the Lantern. Funny how this didn't manage to come up in conversation before Shayera."

Shayera felt the tears coming. "I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you. There were times that I tried. Believe me, I didn't want to deceive you in anyway."

Diana snorted, "Really? Because this didn't come up, EVER. NOT ONCE SHAYERA. Who else here knew about this?"

"I did." Batman stated.

Diana looked around the room. "Nice. Anyone else?"

Superman, Flash, and J'onn all shook their heads no.

Shayera turned and put her hands on Diana's. "John and Batman met a man named Warhawk in the future. Apparently he is our son, John's and mine. I swear that I was going to tell you. It's just that you have trust issues with this situation already, and I didn't want to add to them."

Diana snatched her hands away from Shayera and stood up. "You know what? I just changed my mind. I don't want to talk about this here, or anywhere else for that matter. Superman, tell the press that I had a momentary lapse in judgment, and that they can be assured it won't happen again," she looked at Shayera. "on all accounts."

Shayera's tears fell freely. "Diana, don't…"

But Diana continued, "I take full responsibility for everything. As such, I will be leaving the League for a while and taking time to straighten out my personal life, ALONE. Beyond that I don't care what you tell anyone." And with her last utterance Diana left the room.

Shayera sat in her chair, shocked, her tears still falling. After a few moments, she stood up, and addressed John. "You're an asshole. You and Vixen deserve each other. I love her John. It's as simple as that. What we may have had is over, and if it wasn't clear to you before, make sure that it is now. As for Diana's statement, Superman, feel free to amend it. You tell the press that was me on the Batmobile, and that I was just as much a part of what happened. You can also tell them that while we did not start the brawl, we certainly finished it. If you feel the need to add some sort of discipline as well, then fine." Shayera stormed out of the room.

"Well, that was pleasant." John grumbled.

Flash shot him an ugly look. "Why was that necessary?"

"Mind your business little man."

"Diana is my friend, and so is Shayera. That makes it my business. What are your motives here? You tell Shayera that you are staying with Vixen, but then you cut her new relationship off at the knees? What's your problem? You the only one who is allowed to be happy? Seriously, dude, you're a douche."

"Watch it Flash."

"Why, you going to try and ruin my life too?"

Superman cut off the conversation. "Enough. This will get us nowhere. I will issue a statement to the press if everyone is okay with that idea."

The other heads nodded.

"Flash, would you mind checking on Shayera?"

Wally got up from the table and bolted out the door.

Superman addressed Batman. "Would you mind handling the Huntress and Canary? I have no need to dish out discipline to any of the parties involved. Just reiterate to them that we need to keep our cool a little better."

Batman nodded and left.

"J'onn, if you don't mind, all future assignments, if at all possible, should be done without pairing Shayera and John or Diana and John. And since you are likely Diana's most trusted friend here, please stay in contact with her. I have a feeling she will be leaving the tower completely for a while."

J'onn nodded and removed himself from the room.

"Well, boy scout, got something to say to me too?" Lantern asked.

"I do. Figure this out. Whatever it is you want or don't want. Don't bring this to our table again though." Superman waited for a response, and when he didn't get one, he left.


Flash caught up to Shayera sometime later on an observation deck.

"Hey, wanna talk?"

"Honestly, Wally? Yes. I can't believe she left. She isn't answering her com link, and J'onn said she took her plane and didn't say when she would be coming back."

"She just needs time to cool off. Diana always comes back around."

"But will she some back around to me?"

"I don't know. Why didn't you tell her?"

"Because of this. My relationship to John has never been simple. And the knowledge that we have a son in the future only complicates it more. But I left him, and when I tried to talk to him about getting back together, he said no."

"Do you want him back?"

"No. I love John, but it's different from how I love Diana. She is what I want."

"Then you have to tell her that."

"I don't know where she went! And even then, she made it clear in the meeting that I am not what she wants anymore. Wally, I screwed this up so badly."

Flash hugged Shayera and held her tighter when he felt the first tears fall. When her crying suddenly subsided, he held her at arm's length.

"Shayera, there's a way for all of this to work out."

"How?"

"You have to trust that Diana loves you. And I know she does. Seriously, she went out to a bar, got drunk, and made out with you in public. Which, by the way, offends me."

"What?"

"I am offended that I was not invited. As your best friend..."

"Flash, since when did we become best friends?"

"Since you started dating women."

Shayera giggled a little. "Diana doesn't qualify as women plural."

Flash waved his hand in the air. "Semantics Shayera. As I was saying, she wore a Flash t-shirt to a meeting. Not sure what Diana you have known the last few years, but this one is different. Seriously, Wonder Woman wore a Flash t-shirt, and...shit..."

"What?"

"I didn't take a picture!"

Shayera laughed and then started crying again.

Flash kissed Shayera's cheek. "Tell you what, if Diana doesn't come around, I will find her and beat her up."

Shayera smiled. "Beat her up?"

"Well not literally. I..." Wally stopped his thought and started smiling broadly.

"You what?"

"Come on. Let's go for walk. We'll need to find J'onn, but I think that there is way for you to get Diana back."
