Advent Drabble #2
Advent Drabble #2
(filling two requests at once)
Nothing had gone easy since Shayera's return, nor had she expected it to. She tried not to dwell on what she'd been doing a year ago, as the northern hemisphere darkened into winter. She hadn't many new friends, and her old friends remained aloof. She adjusted to being alone.
When J'onn summoned her, she expected to hear she'd pulled watch tonight in order to give another a holiday.
"Come," he said instead, and took her hand.
They stood together outside the brightly-lit building, listening to strange alien songs as snow came softly down, and it was a perfect gift.
