Phoenix

A Phoenix is a bird found in several cultures and mythology's, such as the ancient Greek and Egyptian myths.

A Phoenix is immortal. When it near's the end of it's life, it burns itself alive in a show of flames and combustion.

From the ashes of it old self, it rise, once more young and ready, and fly's off.

Meet Shayera Hol. A Thanagarian spy sent to Earth to lean of it's strong and weak points, and it's hero's. She became know as Hawkgirl, a hero. She joined the group call the Justice League with others to keep Earth safe.

She would become a great hero in the eyes of many. Likewise a great foe to others. She fought many battles, and helped save the world more then once.

Love even grew between her and the Green Lantern, John Stewart.

However, all of this came to her a end.

Her people came, and she follow her orders, like any other good solider would. Her information let her race beat even the greatest heroes such as Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.

When she learn the truth, that her people was to destroy Earth to win the war, she had a great choice to make. Stay loyal to her people, and let Earth be destroy, or betrayal them, and help save Earth.

She pick the latter.

Earth, and Mankind was save, but at a great cost to her.

Her world, Thanagar, fell to the Gordanians. Both it, and Earth saw her as a traitor. A 'dirty hawk' to the people of Earth.

Most of the Justice League thought the same.

They voting on should they remove her from the League, or let her stay. The vote was a 3-2 in favor of retaining her League membership. However, it did not matter.

Shayera Hol, fill with self-doubt, guilt, and the hate of two worlds, she left. Just like that.

She fled to Doctor Fate, who, with his wife, took her in, and help her.

Now, it has been some time since the Thanagarian invasion. And her mind is at work. Redemption is a long road, but they is much more. A third path is needed. This world needs a another League.

A new League. One that mix's both it's heroes and villains into a force of Good, and Justice.

One that walk through the flames for the sake of humanity.

They are..

The Phoenix League.
