Synopsis: Birds of a feather flock together.
Cast of Characters: Shayera Thal, Joseph Gardner




Shayera Thal has posed:
Metro Hospital with the up turn of aliens and meta humans has a special wing for people. After the trip in the ambulance and getting that wing harness off her the examination had to be given over to a Thangarian doctor who took one look at the wound and was able to patch her up. Justice League has put her on recovery for now and she should be good in a couple of days but god damn did that smart!

Still Shayera is never one to rest easy so she is siting up in her bed holding what looks to be one of the justice league pads holding it with one hand while her fingers move across the digital letters as she files her after action report. When she is suppose to be resting and relaxing. Not that the blisteringly awful television piped through the hospital is anything to relax too.

Joseph Gardner has posed:
Hawkman quickly learned Shayera was taken to Metro. His Absorbascon link gave him plans of the hospital. Then he sort of cruised until he spotted a familiar mane of red hair. Benefits of raptor like sight. "Officer Thal, it's Hawkman. I am hovering outside. Would you like company?" He'd no idea the Absorbascons allowed secure commlinks. they were like those Interocitors in This Island Earth. They did it all.

Shayera Thal has posed:
There is a pause as she looks over at the window for a moment. She blinks those emerald eyes before she stands up out of the bed and goes over to the window and opens it. "Come on it." She says, she doesn't want to be up to long as the nurses will start getting upset. She lays back down and shift so that her wings won't be uncomfortable and then shuts down her pad and sits it on the nearby table. "Thanks for the assist yesterday. And today as well. I actually was going to call you in regard to the artifact the director and I were discussing. It dates back to Egypt..

Joseph Gardner has posed:
Hawkman has to fold his wings to fit through the window. It's still a squeeze. Finally he gets in and reaches behind him for a small bouquet of roses he'd stuck in his belt. Dethorned. He holds it out to her a little awkwardly. "A gift to speed your recovery. I hope this is appropriate." He looks at the television. "Oh for... these paranormal shows all suck. Bunch of credulous entertainers calling themselves researchers..." He stops his rant.

"I think I recognized the Sphere of Horus. It was part of the crashed Thanagarian scout ship I found in the Sahara. No idea what it does yet."

Shayera Thal has posed:
Shayera looks at the roses for a moment and then smiles a rather small smile. "Thank you." There is a small little vase next to the bed which she carefully puts them in before she looks at Hawk Man. "All I could recognize on it was that it was Thangarian and that someone thought it be a good idea to put a giant emblem of Horus on top of it." The sphere itself was made of Nth metal, the rest was either gold or bronze. Good lord knows why they put that on it, maybe cause it looks cool.

As for the the television. Shayera's eyes go over to the 'Ghost Brothers' a pair of gentleman, both Black hence the brothers, who are walking through the house taunting the ghost and trying to call it out. Her eyes just glaze over at this behavior, how do you thug a ghost?

Joseph Gardner has posed:
Hawkman nods, tapping his chin. "Well Pharoah Khufu dealt with the Thanagarians after they crashed. They gave the Egyptians some technology, realizing they lacked the resources to fix their ship. This was 3,000 years ago. I'm sure Thanagarian technology has improved. This thing is probably the equivalent of a steam engine to your eyes. I would like to return to th ship and ask it questions in person. Find out what this thing does. Unfortunately I don't have all the memories of the pilot and even then, it's the pilot, not the engineer. I'm sure you could help me repair the ship. I'v had a few difficulties... like the Absorbascon giving me a lot of men's memories. Some days I don't know whether to answer to Joseph, Khufu or Katar."

Shayera Thal has posed:
Shayera takes the remote and hits the 'off' button on the television before she get sucked into just how bad this is. She places the remotes on the table and then turns to Hawk Man. "Well I would honestly pick the one you identify with most." She smiles a bit and then nods, "That was very old too, got knows what it has seen or recorded...Or if it is just a useless part of the machine." For all we know that is what power the air conditioner. "It was odd, how did they learn about it to begin with?" Well Shayera was the guilty person for that to be honest. The didn't until they tagged her cause of those wings, kind of wish they had a way to hide them. "But either way I am going to need help getting it back. I'm going to be laid up for a few days. Thankfully whoever attacked me failed to realize we our tougher than standard human. What would of been lethal simply turned out to be just a nasty cut.

Joseph Gardner has posed:
Hawkman nods, looking at her side. "I'm sorry I wasn't faster to shut that murderess down. Anyway for the time being, I go by Dr. Joseph Gardner. Nice to meet you." He slides his helmet up and back and smiles at her. He still needs a shave. "Point of fact... I am a human. I worked with the Nth metal I found and... this happened." He gestures vaguely to himself. "Increased strength, durability, Better senses. These wings come off. I can sleep on my back."

Shayera Thal has posed:
Shayera nods her head. "I see...Mine are rather attached to me I'm afraid. I just had to learn to sleep on my size or move my wings so that they aren't hurt when I lie down.." She hopes that they haven't done anything weird with her wing harness. She looks over at her pad for a moment then back to you. "So when did you arrive Metropolis? Seems like everything happens in Super man's city.

Joseph Gardner has posed:
Hawkman says, "I arrived the night before yesterday. I was actually seeking you and Hawk Girl out. I thought I'd find you if I flew around long enough and asked the local avians... I can understand birds since that Absorbascon fiddled with my brain. I wonder what Superman was doing when those guys robbed the bank? I guess he was doing something important."

Shayera Thal has posed:
There is that word again, Absorbascon. This might be some old Thangarian technology that she is unfamiliar with so she might as well ask. "So you have mentioned this Absorbascon a couple of times. I am unfamiliar with this particular piece of technology. Is it something that was in the ship that transferred the personalities to you or is it something else?

Joseph Gardner has posed:
Hawkmanrubs his head. "It... scanned and absorbed the knowledge of humanity's collective minds. It still does since I got it working. basically anything known to enough people is stored in it. I can't get personal information, no telling secret identities or pin numbers. Anyway Pharaoh Khufu befriended the crew of the scout ship who survived and then he somehow got his spirit loaded into the Absorbascon when he died. And every time he was reincarnated after that. It loaded the pilot as well for good measure. So I have all these memories in my head. I learned to use my mace from the machine. I can shoot it out with a six gun pretty well, but, I hate guns. I guess the devices fell in disfavor? You never heard of them, or maybe you call them something different?

Shayera Thal has posed:
Hawk Woman pauses for a moment and then produces what looks like a communicator made by the Justice League, it is able to piggyback onto existing comms to communicate with other units, like cell phones or police radio. "This is how I piggybacked into your communicator. Its thing we use in the Justice League." She smiles a bit. "You wouldn't be interested in joining or would you just like to remain freelance for now? I know that being part of the team is a lot of work..

Joseph Gardner has posed:
Hawkman spreads his hands and says, "I think I should work out all these memories first, but thank you for the offer. I'm not sure what I bring to the team. You and Kendra seem to do everything I do and better. I mean if they need someone who talks to birds and knows Egyptology really well, you could call me, sure."

Shayera Thal has posed:
Well one thing about having a public identity is that you can use small modern devices. She reaches over and takes her hawk helm off the nearby table and then taps into the communication array within it. "If you need to talk to me this is the code I use for the helm.." She gives you the 7 digit code and then looks at you. "That is a direct line to me, you can use it if you are in trouble or need help. And right now with me laid up I could use your help in the field getting back that device.." She then pauses to add. "For your ship of course. And I don't want...Well however those are having it. I'm going to be running some of the identities through the Justice League computer to see if we get any hits.

Joseph Gardner has posed:
Hawkman nods eagerly. "I'll be glad to help you however I can. I put a trace on the student I let go. A falon, a couple sparrows, an alpha covid. The falcon lost him in the subways but subways have pigeons in them. I'm hoping we get something. At least we'll find the train he took if I get lucky."

"I know. This isn't a superpower, it's a stupid pet trick. I bet Aquaman gets the same jokes."

Shayera Thal has posed:
Wait really? "That is something I can't do." She kind of begins to ponder what a bird would say if she could talk to it then she remembers a certain aviary she visited once that had the biggest collection of foul mouthed parrots and decide maybe she is better off not knowing either. "What do they usually talk about?

Joseph Gardner has posed:
Hawkman raises an eyebrow at that. "Really? No idea what that came from. Yea they talk too much at times. Uhm, they mostly talk about food sources, mating, predators. They have their problems. Seagulls are jerks. Corvids are really smart and get a bad deal but once they befriend you, they're pretty loyal. I hate to admit it but they've chased away hawks and falcons by ganging up. Anyway I told these birds and they're spreading a description. I'll try to build an Nth metal detector. I have a store of the stuff in my garage."

Shayera Thal has posed:
Shayera Thal shrugs. "Well we never really had much to say to the birds of our worlds, I mean falconry has become popular amongst our people again because of earth falcons." Not going to lie, she thought of getting it but she doesn't think she have time to take care of one. Lot of responsibility pets, falcons in particular. "Modern Thanagar is trying to help earth achieve its destiny amongst the stars right now."

Joseph Gardner has posed:
Hawkman glances at the blank tv a moment. "That's awfully nice of you. It's great to find a friendly planet for a change. When I get the scout flying... I want to go there. I hope they'll let me keep the ship. By Earth salvage laws I can claim it. It was unmanned when I found it for s few thousand years."

"So do you like Earth so far?"

Shayera Thal has posed:
Shayera is about to say something when the nurse comes in and says. "Visiting hours are over sir...You'll have step or fly out.." Shayera smiles a bit and then nods. "Good to talk to you hawk man..Hopefully we'll meet again.
