Metropolis. JLU HQ. 2044

Shayera Hol look out the widow of the LexCorp car as she, Julius, and Mercy (As the diver) goes to the JLU HQ on Earth. From what she been told, the Justice League was not as big when she was a member. They also had a large HQ building here in Metropolis. Some of the members was Superman, Big Barda, Kai-Ro, a Green Lantern (What happen to John?) Aquaman daughter. A new Hawk and Dove, Flash kid (He marry Giganta? Really?) A new Batman that was also like the last one, only a part time member. A few others. She had no idea what they look like. Julius could give her pictures, but she wanted to them herself, not pictures she could be fake.

So far, the 3 rode in silent, till Julius try to start some talk. "So...how do you like your new wing?" He ask her. She look at him, but then said. "Fine." But in truth, she love the new robotic wing. Yes, it was a bit painful, and she still had the idea the chip would be mind control, but after she got it, she could fly again. She felt like a Thanagarian again. Yes, it was not the real now, but she was thankful she only lost one wing, and not both.

"Mr. Luthor. We are nearing Justice League Unlimited HQ sir." Mercy said. "Ah. Now the fun starts." He said. Shayera was about to ask him why, but then she realize it. Son of Lex Luthor. Of course, he would have problems with this new League. She could only imagine what might had happen between Julius and the JLU. Maybe Flash kid got pictures. The LexCorp car got to the front of the JLU HQ. It was massive building. Way, way bigger then Metro Tower. They waited for a minute, till the intercom. "State your business here, Mr Luthor." Said the voice over the intercom. Well, that was cold, but then again. Son of Lex Luthor. "Look. I know i'm not welcome here, and had over past...debates, but they someone you would like to meet. Just scan the car. A few minute pass, then it came back. "All right. Drive on in, but try anything..." The main door open and Mercy drove in. The 3 got out as what look like a hero walks in. He look a bit like Booster Gold, but with brown hair, and a bit taller. As soon as he eyes fell on Shayera, they got real big. "Um...Um...are you...really Hawkgirl?" He ask. "Yes, see the wings?"

"Um...this way..." He was able to say. The 3 follow the Booster Gold to the meeting room. And they was the League. Superman. Big Barda, Kai-Ro, Hawk and Dove, Flash kid, and a African-American that look very familiar to Shayera. He had on a light battlesuit of some kind, but it was in the face...

She look at the others. Superman no longer had on the normal outfit, but a suit of white and black. It look more... Kryptonian. He look only to be in his 50's, but she could tell from his face, he was a whole lot older.

Aquagirl may had took Mera looks, but she could see Arthur in her.

Big Barda did not have her armor, but some reddish outfit that show a bit of skin.

Kai-Ro wass only about 10, or something like that. Yes, she was about that age when she started fighting back on Thanagar, but this was Earth.

New Hawk and Dove look similar, but Dove was a girl, and Hawk look old.

Flash kid had dark red hair. Her outfit was dark red on top, and black on the bottom. She also had on goggles for her mask.

The new Batman was not here. Not that she was surprise.

They all look at her with big eyes. Superman is the one that walks up to her. "Shayera...Shayera is that you?" he ask. "Yes, it's me." The old Man of Steel hugs. Now, the Thanagarian don't really do hugs, but in this case, she let the big guy hugs her. Flash kids rush up to them. "Wow! You! Your! Your Hawkgirl! This is so epic! I'm Riley West, daughter of the Flash!" She said happily to Hol. Yep, Riley is Wally kid. The others walks up to her, but then they see Julius, and Mercy, and well...

Superman eyes narrow and he grab Julius collar. "What are you doing here, Luthor." He 'ask' Mercy right hand turns into a gun, and aim it at Sups. The others get ready for a battle. "This might be a trick. She might be a robot, or a clone." Big Barda said, eyeing Shayera. "Hey now, we don't have to fight. Let Mr. Luthor, and Ms Hol have a few words on this." Dove trying to be the peacemaker before a fight happen. "I agree. Let us use words to solve this." Said Kai-Ro.

"Look. I got ice after the bast. He found me just a few weeks ago, and bought me back." Hol try to explain to the others. "And your wing? Did he take it off?" Superman said as he tighten his grip on Julius. "No, i lost it in the bast. He gave me new one on my back." She said. In truth, she had no idea why she is defending Julius. Yes, he found her, bought her back to the land of the living, and gave her a new right wing, but still, he was Lex son! And from the looks of things, and the JLU fought before.

Superman looks at her, then Julius. He lets goes of Julius. "Superman, you not really going to believe them? This all could be a trick?" Question Barda. "It's Shayera, Barda. I scan her, and she checks out." Hol felt a bit exposed on Superman using x-ray vision on her for some reason.

"Well, i'm happy we got to work that out." Said Dove, as Hawk look a bit sad for a fight not happening. Barda was still eyeing her. Flash was...Flash. Kai-Ro seem nice. "Shayera. They a lot of things we need to over, but first.." Superman turns to Julius, and Mercy. "If you two can wait outside." "Of course." Julius gives a smile Shayera before walking out with Mercy right behind.

"Now, we can talk." Said Superman. "Superman, i got to ask. I know he's Lex son, and all, but everyone seem to what him dead. What happen between him and the League?" She ask. Everyone look at each other, before Riley spoke him. "He kick our asses!" "What?" Julius really beat Superman and the Justice League Unlimited? "It was just a misunderstand. Our fault, really." Said Dove, trying to keep the balance. The black JLU member speak. "A few years back, we attack a smuggling ring down at the Metropolis decks. We did, but old junior also attack the smuggling ring. We thought he was a part of it, so we attack. In the end, we underestimate him, and took a few hits before we stop fighting. Man, Sups face that day..." Superman got a bit annoy at that last part, whine the others had faces of embarrassment.

"And you are?" She ask, but deep down, she knew. "Name the Lion. Rex Stewart. I'm honor to meet you, really. My dad never stop talking about you." She ask. "And your dad is?" He took a deep breath, and said 'John Stewart, and Mari McCabe Stewart." Feelings fill her. How should she feel? Happy? For John and Vixen getting married and having Rex? Sadness? For losing John? Rex could see what he said had hurt Shayera, and he felt bad. This Thanagarian had been his old man first true love. He heard the story. That in one future, he is Warhawk, son of John and Shayera. And in some ways, he still was. He could see Hawkgirl was about to let out a few tears. If his old man found out that he had made Shayera cry...RIP Rex Stewart.

"Hey, don't worry. John still alive, so is Vixen." He said, hoping it would stop the tears before they stated. It work. "Really? Where is he? When can i see him?" She ask Rex. What would he say? What would she say? "Both are still living over in Detroit. I can set up a meeting." Shayera was about to thank him when Barda cough. "I think they something we need to talk about Luthor." "She's right. We need to talk about him. You can't stay with him. We have a ton of room here for you Shayera. Your still a League member." She was about to reply, but Flash talk first. "Hey! Maybe we could use her as a spy! She was a spy once!" "Oh god, really? She had to say something about the Invasion? Then again..she's Flash kid."

"That's not a bad idea, BB." Said Hawk. "Hey now, we can't just spy on Mr. Luthor." "I think the same. We don't spy on people." Said Dove, and Kai-Ro. "Same here. She just got bought back." Said Rex. Making Shayera cry by accident was one thing. Getting her hurt, or kill by spying on Luthor...

"It's up for Shayera." Said Superman. She thought about it. If Julius was really bad, she could find something bad. But if he was really good, it would be betrayal. The last time that happen, she help her people almost blow up Earth before she sided with her friends and a world she had learn to call home. She would NOT go through that. "Sorry, i give a heads up if he try anything, but besides that..." "I understand." Said Superman, but Shayera could see he look a bit annoy at her saying no.

"Well, if we got that out of the way, can i show Hawkgirl around the place? Please?" Ask Flash. "Umm...sure. I love to see this place training room." Said Hol. It was true, she has not done much besides waking up, her fail escape, getting her new wing, and coming here. She really needed to test her new wing out, see if it was all good as Julius said it was. "Great! I go get it ready!" And Flash flew out, and back. "All right! All ready!"

"Thanks. Just let me talk to Julius about all this." She said and walk out to talk with Julius.

"So far so good. John alive. Meet his son. And still a member of the Justice League. What could go wrong? Really."
