Chapter 171 by D!$N3Y D!$N3Y

Does she like that idea?

"Sure."

She said that it sounded like a fine idea. So after paying the bill, you take her for a walk towards the Eiffel Tower. You walk a long way before you reach it, looking at how tall this monument really was. Shayera knew she could easily fly up to the top of it, if it were just her. But she resolved to joining you in the elevator of however people get to the top of the tower.

You both took a ride up to the top, and you arrive at the platform just in time for Paris to turn on their lights. It was a beautiful sight, walking to the railing and looking down at everything. All the luminous orbs had pooled together to make it seem like it came from a fairy tale. As your thoughts trailed back to what you said about who Shayera would be with, you turn to her. "Listen, about what I--"

"Shad, I didn't mean to--" You both talked at the same time, stopping to let the other have their say.

"Shayera, I didn't mean to be offend you. I was just wondering if you--"

"Look, kid," she interrupted. "I was a little shocked you talked about destiny and who I was gonna be with." She then discussed the men she's been with, men that seem to have their own agendas. Hro Talak, a Thanagarian who was willing to destroy an innocent planet, yours to defeat an enemy they had; John Stewart, whom you knew of that broke up with her because she was thought of as a traitor for the invasion years ago; and Carter Hall, who believed himself and her to be descended from the first Thanagarians that lived in Egypt 34 centuries ago. "And Carter based his love from a device that gave him memories of Kartar Hol. Until he learned the truth, but still..."

"But when he believed it, he believed that he loved you. Poor guy... Poor you, going through all of that." She smiled at you, moving a bit closer to you.

"I can handle myself," she assured. You undoubtedly knew that, but you were concerned that she might get into trouble. She then wrapped her arm around your neck, and brought you close to her. You respond by wrapping your arm around her waist.

"We can handle things better, together," you tell her. And she only nodded at you before you two watched the City of Lights beautifully glow below you...

What's next?
