I laughed at Wally as we patrolled Central City. He was so quick witted that it was honestly hard to take him seriously half the time. But the other half of the time, like now as I watched him fight Mirror Master and Captain Cold, I could see how strong and smart the guy was.

I think we often took him for granted to be honest. We wouldn't be quite the same without his quick wit.

I grunted in pained when I was hit in the head by something hard.

"Hey pretty bird," a man said on the roof to my right. I could hear the playfulness of his scratchy accented voice and it really irked me the wrong way.

I glared at Boomerang. "You want to say that again Boomy?" I asked lowly.

He grinned and reached for his boomerangs he held on his back.

This would be quick.

I flew at Boomerang quickly, my mace lighting up in my hands as I held it at the ready.

I couldn't help but smile at the look of sudden fear on his face.

As I was moving to hit him upside the head he was punched away from me and went rolling across the roof.

"Hawkgirl." Flash yelling my name like he did means that I had apparently done something wrong that he didn't like. I pulled back and held my mace at my side. "Rein in the strength. He's just a guy that likes to play with boomerangs."

"What are you talking about Flash? I was just going to hit him like I do every crook," I frowned, not understanding why he had stopped me.

"You were arching like you were about to hit Superman or someone who can take a mace to the face," he said. He quickly went and punched Boomerang again and tied him up where he sat.

"I was not," I retorted.

Flash crossed his arms and gave me his signature "really" look. A look I usually only got from Superman.

I scoffed and bobbed my head. "What? You want me to admit that I was going to hit the man harder than I should have just so I could let my anger out on a real person? You want me to admit that I'm so lost, confused, and homesick that I don't know where or what to do?"

Oh no, I'm breaking down. Why am I breaking down now? And in front of Wally.

I felt tears come to my eyes and quickly wiped them away with a sniffle. I must look so weak to him right now.

"I have to watch everyone be happy. I have to watch John and Mari be happy! I love him but he doesn't even know that anymore and I know that he does too, but he's not the guy to say that when he's with another woman."

Flash was gaping slightly, his stance relaxing as he realized I was breaking down in front of him.

I turned around so I didn't have to face him, looking out over the city.

"I gave up my chance to go back home with my people because I saw it as murder on their part and I've grown to like this planet but…I just don't have a home here anymore."

Flash quickly turned me around and hugged me tightly. "You have a home Shiera," he whispered to me. "You're a part of the Justice League and we need you."

I wrapped my arms around him tightly, crying quietly on his shoulder.

"So much for a distraction," I laughed with a small hiccup, pulling away from him to look at him.

He smiled softly, "Yeah, though I think you've needed to talk to someone about that for a while. And if you want to continue talking to me about it, go ahead. I'm all ears."

I smirked and hugged him again. "Sure. Let's go get a gallon of ice cream first."
