I opened my eyes to find a strange girl looking at me. She was beautiful. She had clear green eyes, wavy reddish orange hair and wings. Wait, WINGS?! Did that mean I was dead?! I grasped my heart, to feel if it was beating. It was. It also felt almost scorched.
“A-am I d-dead?” I managed
“Surprisingly, no. Thanks to your boyfriend, you’re still alive” she smiled
“W-water. D-do you have any?” I asked. She nodded then dribbled a bit of water into my mouth.
“What happened?” I managed
“I was walking on the sidewalk when I heard a huge boom. Then Kid Flash ran out, looking for help. I was in disguise, so he didn’t recognize me until I took of my jacket, showing my wings and my mace. He brought me to the interrogation room, where I found you on the floor, surrounded by your team. I rushed over and checked for your heart beat. You didn’t have one. I tried to re pump your heart with my hands, then my fists. Nothing. Then I remembered when something like this happened to Green Lantern. I brought my mace to your heart, and then put the electricity on, using it like a defibrillator. Luckily, it worked. If I had been even a second later, you would have been lost, forever.” She explained
“Is that why my skin over my heart feels scorched?” I asked
“Yeah, sorry about that” she apologized
“S’all right. I’d rather be burnt then dead” I said “Who are you anyways?”
“My name is Shayera Hol” she said
“That’s such a pretty name. Where are you from?” I asked
“Thank you. I’m from Thanagar, a planet far away” she explained
“I remember now! You’re the Thanagarian girl who used to be known as Hawk Girl until she quit the Justice League. After you returned, you went as Shayera!” I exclaimed
“You seem to know quite a bit about me” she smiled
“You are my idle!” I explained
“Really? You do know the whole story, right?” she asked
“Yeah. I do. That’s why I like you so much. You did what you believed was right, even though it was hard” I smiled “Where are we anyways?”
“In the interrogation room, where the bomb blew up” she replied
“Where’s the team? Where’s Joker?” I demanded
“Your team is in the lobby and Joker is back in Arkham” she explained. I got up and walked out the door into the hall. Shayera was right behind me incase I fell. I made it almost the whole way to the lobby before I stumbled. Luckily, Shayera caught me. She carried me the rest of the way. When I got to the lobby, nobody saw me. Before anyone moved I noticed Artemis and Wally holding hands. Wally’s hand was on top. Then they saw me. Everyone rushed over and I pretended to be unconscious. Shayera noticed and played along.
“Is she okay? What happened? Will she live” came the chorus of questions
“I’m really sorry, but I couldn’t save her” Shayera said. I sensed them all lower their heads. I mouthed the word ‘laugh’. Shayera started to laugh. I sensed them all look up. My eyes snapped open and a said ‘Boo’!
“I couldn’t save her from some minor cut, scrapes, bruises and burns!” Shayera explained
“A-am I d-dead?” I managed
“Surprisingly, no. Thanks to your boyfriend, you’re still alive” she smiled
“W-water. D-do you have any?” I asked. She nodded then dribbled a bit of water into my mouth.
