A/N: Well, this is the last chapter. It's short and probably too sugary sweet. But in the end I'm a huge softy so there just needed to be a fluffy happy ending. Don't like it then... go see a psychiatrist (That's a joke).
Enjoy...
Let it Be
-
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
There will be no sorrow, let it be.
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
There will be no sorrow, let it be.
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be...
Epilogue
(Three Years Later)
We're in love.
We're in love and we're getting married… today.
I didn't think it would happen. I never expected for Shayera and I to fall in love. After the first time we slept together we made it very clear to each that we were not in love. We made it very clear that it was just sex; it was lust and nothing more.
But after so long, lust can turn into love. Or maybe it just happened with us.
It didn't happen suddenly. It happened gradually.
In the beginning it was all just sex and no one noticed. No one needed to know. However, it unknowingly became something serious. After sex we would begin talking to each other and have serious conversations. We would talk about anything and everything. Then we began sparring with each other in the Watchtower training room. Then I started taking her out to dinner. Then it came to the point where I invited her to live in Wayne Manor, my home. She had declined, but that didn't change the fact that I had offered. There had been no denying it any longer; Shayera and I had been a couple.
I still hadn't admitted that I was in love with her though. I didn't think I was despite being so close with her.
It took me around a year and a half to finally admit it to myself.
It happened when I saw her smile. We were walking through the gardens of Wayne Manor. She had helped Alfred plant some flowers a while back and she wanted to see how they were fairing. She leaned over, looked at the colorful flowers… and she smiled.
She smiled.
It wasn't a smirk or half smile or a sad smile. It was a special smile. It was large and filled with so much happiness.
Happiness?
Was she happy about the flowers or because she was with me? When she looked away from the flowers and up at me with that same smile I knew that she was happy to be with me. I was happy to be with her too.
It took me another year to admit my love to her.
We were lying in my bed. She decided to stay the night; she still wouldn't live with me, which had confused me. Everyone already knew our relationship. It was kind of hard to keep it a secret when we were with each other constantly. Rumors had spread until the point where we confirmed out relationship to people.
When I finally confessed my love to her, she had smiled again. That rare beautiful smile that somehow made my heart flutter every time I saw it. She smiled and said she loved me too.
We're in love with each other.
I never thought I could fall in love.
Today, I'm standing in the Watch Tower looking at my beautiful bride. The rest of Justice League who decided to witness us wed stood back and watched. Superman stood in front of us and delivered the sermon. He had asked to be the one to bless us on our 'big day'. We happily agreed. Well, she happily agreed, I just stayed my neutral self.
Shayera wore a white strapless dress that came down to her knees. Her wings seemed to be neater. I smirked inwardly knowing that she had groomed herself to perfection for our wedding day. She swore that she wasn't going to wear a big poofy dress. She hated dressing up no matter what the occasion was. She settled with an average dress and I wasn't complaining. She would look beautiful either way.
As for me, I wore the bat suit. No, not the one I fight in. This was a special suit that Alfred designed long ago. I never used it because it was too fancy for my taste.
The suit was dark silver and more defined than my original suit. The bat symbol in the middle of my chest was pure silver. I knew I would never wear this suit again. This suit was beyond special now.
"I do." She answered with a big smile.
Thump. My heart pounded so loud that I thought everyone in the room heard it. That smile…
"I do." I answered after I was asked the question as well.
"You may now kiss the bride."
I leaned in and I kissed my bride… my beautiful bride. I wouldn't be able to live without her. She's mine now, just as I am now hers.
Now we are wed, and in front of the Justice League.
John and Diana stood in the far back of the room.
