I do not own the Justice League or any of its affiliates. I am borrowing them briefly. Use the lasso if you must, but I am telling the truth. I never read the DC comics, but I love the cartoons. This opening chapter picks up at the end of the episode called Grudge Match. If you have not seen it, it may not make a whole lot of sense, but I tried to summarize it for those who haven't. Quick history if you are not a fan of the show:

Diana is Wonder Woman. Princess of the Amazons. After Shayera betrayed the Earth and the League, she made it known that there is no love lost for Hawkgirl.

Shayera is Hawkgirl. She has wings, wields a magic busting mace, and is Thanagarian. She used to date the Green Lantern before her betrayal of Earth. In the future they have a son.

Vixen is Mari. She has the ability to tap into the strengths of animals and utilize those abilities. She is the current love interest of the Green Lantern.


They had been sneaking around for weeks, mostly making time for each other on Earth. Trying to be discreet was very difficult given that Shayera had wings and couldn't really disguise herself in public. Diana stuck out as well. Hard to miss an Amazon. So there were stolen kisses in alley ways and brief trips to Themiscyra. Of course they never left together. Shayera would slip away a day after Diana would leave and the pair would meet up. They had not told any of their friends. The Flash knew, but only because he had seen them exit the elevator once after a brief albeit steamy encounter. But smoldering looks from Diana, and threats of violence from Shayera had persuaded him to hold his tongue. Eventually it all had to come out and one night it did.

A group of the JL women had brought down a fighting ring run by Roulette. The Huntress and Black Canary had uncovered the villainesses' scheme of using the com links to blank the minds of the women to make them fight each other. They ended up squaring off against Shayera and Vixen. Vixen's com link was destroyed first instantly waking the woman to reality. Then it became 3 on 1, with Shayera on her own. Eventually the trio managed to destroy the red head's com link as well, leaving the 4 standing in the ring believing that they had won. But Roulette had one more surprise. She brought out Wonder Woman.

"What's the plan?" asked Huntress.

"Stay alive," Shayera dead panned.

Taking on Diana was no easy task. And while Huntress and Canary searched for the source of the signal confusing the com link, Shayera and Vixen were left to fend of Wonder Woman. Diana was ruthless and Shayera took the brunt of her punches and kicks. Just as Vixen and Shayera were about to have their heads bashed against each other's by Diana's hands, Huntress and Canary killed the signal. Diana woke up out of her daze. With Roulette's ring destroyed, the women got ready to leave. Vixen started to leave at first, followed by Diana, and then Shayera who was holding her neck. Diana turned and looked at the red head.

"Shayera, your neck?"

"I am going to ache for days Diana. You slammed me into a stone column," came the light reply.

"Shayera, I...I'm sorry. I had no control." Diana's response was soft and apologetic.

Shayera smiled at the Amazon. "It's okay. I will be fine."

At that moment, Vixen turned around and looked at the pair. What the hell? Are they smiling at each other? "Shayera, how can you be so calm about this? She damn near killed us!"

"But she didn't Vixen. We held our own and everything is fine now."

"Held our own? My spine needs some serious re-adjusting right now, and you probably should be wearing a neck brace. And need I remind you those were the shots that connected?" Vixen spat.

Shayera looked at Diana who dropped her head. Instantly Shayera became angry. "Stifle it Vixen. She couldn't help it. None of us could. As I recall you were attacking our colleagues as well."

"Blow it out your ass Shayera. She's Wonder Woman! It was 4 on 1 and we barely made it out alive."

"No thanks to you either. Distract her while I take her from behind you said. That was an awesome plan. Good job jumping on her back. How'd that turn out?"

Vixen took a couple of steps toward the red head. "Well at least I tried something. You were on the defensive damn near the whole time! And why is that? Come to think of it, you said you took your best shot when you flipped her into the slot machines."

"What is your point?"

"You pulled your freaking punches, and it almost got us killed, and I deserve to know why!" Vixen grabbed Shayera's arm.

Wonder Woman became enraged. "Remove your hand!"

Vixen just glared at the Amazon.

"I won't repeat myself..." Wonder Woman gritted her teeth.

Vixen let go of Shayera's arm and took a step back. "What the hell is going on with you two? Smiling at each other, and Shayera not really trying to hit you? You think you guys were..."

"Enough!" roared Wonder Woman. "If you want to be angry at me, fine. But I have heard all I am willing to stomach. And I will caution you very strongly Vixen to think before anything else comes out of your mouth. If you thought 4 on 1 was unmanageable, how do you think you'll fare by yourself?"

"Diana!" Shayera interjected.

Diana's face was twisted staring down Vixen. But the moment she looked at Shayera, she softened, her fists unclenched and she relaxed her shoulders. "I really wouldn't have hurt you on purpose." And with the utterance Diana flew off through a hole in the roof.

"What in the hell is going on here?" Vixen muttered.

Shayera turned to Vixen. "You made her feel horrible for something that wasn't her fault."

"Since when did you become her champion? A few weeks ago you despised her, and now you come running to each other's rescue? Geez, you'd think you were sleeping together."

Shayera's eyes became wide, an immediate wave of guilt washed across her face. Vixen saw Shayera's expression. "Oh my God! You are sleeping with her! Does John know about this?" Vixen was positively shocked.

"No, the only person who knows anything is Flash. But I am sure that is all about to change." Shayera flew away from Vixen and up after Diana. Vixen stood there in that spot for a few moments. There's no competition now for John's heart for sure. I can't wait to tell him. Vixen looked over at the destroyed ring. There was Black Canary and Huntress rolling around on the floor wrestling. I am surrounded by lesbians...


Shayera found Diana in Greece. She was sitting on the steps of the Parthenon staring into space.

"Hey," Shayera approached softly. Diana didn't say anything. "Diana, please talk to me."

"What are we doing Shayera?"

"Ummm...talking on the steps of ruins."

"No, I mean what are we doing? What is between us?"

Shayera sighed. "I don't know. But we need to figure it out. I am sure Vixen will be telling everyone what we have been hiding."

"Vixen?"

"After you left, she questioned why we are more than civil to each other."

"What did you tell her?"

"Nothing really. I came searching for you."

"She is going to tell John you know."

"I know."

"Does that bother you?"

Shayera thought for a minute, but then shook her head no. "Diana, I'm not ashamed of you or whatever we have. So, no, let her tell John. Really it's none of her business or his or anyone else's. The only people that matter are you and I."

"Us, Shayera. That is what we are, or at least that is what I am hoping. But it's hard to tell with you."

"Us..."

Wonder Woman nodded. "I am not casual about my feelings Shayera. Nor do I have casual, well..."

"Sex, Diana, we are having sex."

"Is that all?"

"No, I don't think it is. She was right you know. I did pull my punches."

"Why?"

"WHY?" Shayera was astounded. "I have no desire to hurt you. Are you still harboring some distaste for me?"

Wonder Woman stood. "No, Shayera."

The red head exhaled. "Well that is a relief."

"Shayera, I think that, well, that is I am having certain feelings for you."

"Feelings?"

"It isn't just a strong attraction. Not for me anyways. It hasn't been that way for a while."

"I know."

"How?"

"Diana, you kiss me and I can tell. If it was just about sex, I don't think you'd be tender. And you are...I can tell." The last part of the sentence was quietly uttered.

"But Shayera, I don't want to be a substitute for John. I know you love him."

"It's complicated. Part of me will always care for him. He's a part of my past. I can't change that."

"I know."

"But Diana, you can't be jealous of him either. He made his choice and I am making mine."

"What if he had chosen differently, or changes his mind now that he knows you are moving on?"

"Then he'll find himself by himself. I want to see where this is going between us."

"I do too. But I can't deny that I feel his shadow even now."

"What can I do then?"

"I don't know."

"Diana, please."

"I just need to think Shayera. Do you mind? I need to be alone for a bit."

Shayera fought the tears that threatened to fall. She nodded her head in understanding and flew away. Diana watched her leave and sat back down. She felt alone. All these powers and I'm defenseless.


A/N: Well? It started out as a silly song fic, but I love Diana and Shayera, so it continues. And I wish more people wrote about them. So show some love and write that story, or leave a comment.
