"Look, I'm not saying, that there's anything wrong with them, but... every so often, it's nice to make them sit at home, and worry about us, instead of the other way around." Shayera smiled calmly. Diana looked at Kara. Kara shrugged.
"When have you ever sat home and worried though?" Diana asked with a grin. Shayera thought about that a moment.
"Never, but that's not the point." She shook her head. "How often do they go out without us?" She asked calmly. Kara shivered slightly. Shayera was creepy when she was that calm. "All the time." She finished, though she only meant Lantern.
"Quite a bit." Diana admitted. Despite Batman's best efforts, the secret that they were dating came out.
"Only when I give permission." Kara stated matter-of-factly. They stared at her.
"How did you manage that?" Diana asked.
"Didn't have to. He always asks. He said he's always found it prudent not to argue with people ten times stronger than he is, and since I am..." Kara shrugged. The other two sighed. Both knew that wouldn't work for them. There was a knock at the door.
"Diana?" It was Batman. Kara and Shayera rose to their feet.
"Come in." Diana called. As he walked in, they walked out, but Shayera stopped in the door, and turned back.
"Think on that." She called, before walking away.
"Think on what?" Bruce asked.
"Girl talk." She said, idly shaking her head. His eyes danced, and she could see he was wondering just what they were saying. She also knew he wouldn't let up until he found out. Unless he was distracted. When she kissed him, she could tell he was sufficiently distracted.

I could hear the laughter, as I hit the wall. Lantern grunted. I knew it was with the effort of hitting me against the wall .What he forgot, was that I can now manipulate any energy, and that includes what his ring runs on, and produces. The energy clamp he'd so gleefully slammed me into the wall with, did the same to him. Another round of laughter from the assembled heroes watching the demonstration. The clamp vanished. My turn to attack. Lightning danced across the floor, walls, and through the air. Lantern flashed up a shield. I stopped the lightning in mid strike.
"Remember, almost no attack does not have a possible defense." I warned quietly. Lantern fired a ring blast. I threw a wall of energy up, and the blast impacted, then snapped back across the room, slamming into Lantern and sending him crashing into the wall. "Green arrow, shoot me." I threw my arms open wide. He shrugged.
"If you insist." He nocked an arrow, drew and fired with blinding speed. I twisted, and caught the arrow, then continued the spin, and threw it back. He nocked and fired again, and sparks flashed as the two collided.
"J'onn." Lantern waved the Manhunter in. I fired lightning which he phased through and then solidified only his fist. Instead of attacking the fist again, I twisted, and grabbed the fist, throwing it at the wall. The surprise of it caused him to unphase and slam into the wall. "Hawk." The grinning hero took a swing, and missed, while I came up with a blow to the point of his chin, and then spun round, and kicked him in the chest. I threw my hand up, calling a halt at that point.
"Most human's can't keep this up for very long, before they run out of energy." I grunted, through my panting. "Lantern, your turn. Dr. Light." Almost the instant I said it, a brilliant flash lit the training room, and it blinded most of us. Staggering back against the wall I truly wished for a pair of the magical sunglasses some of the other me's wore. They would have protected against the flash, and from the thudding sounds I heard, this would have been worth seeing. A flash of green light blasted back the other way, then the pounding resumed.
"Zero." A familiar voice cut through the sound, and the lights vanished. A moment later, green light suffused the room. A moment later, the room brightened, and I could feel the magic flowing to heal the injury of my eyes. With a blink I could see. Standing in the doorway, were our rescuers. Hawkgirl, and Supergirl. I threw John a glance, and we simply couldn't help it. We burst into laughter, joined a moment later by the rest of the assembled heroes, as well as the girls.
