"Carter Hall is Prince Khufu Kha-Tarr ..or was. What Carter Hall does not realize ...he has lived thousands of years. Until now..."
HAWKMAN
The dream begins like it usually does. I stand alone , my weary men beaten by battle. By time and death. I stand with sword in hand and swear to this man , "I SHALL RETURN AGAIN. FOR MY LOVE Chay-Ara !!"
"And you awake sweating in bed again Carter ?" the voice asked .
"Yes ."
"The battle is different. You seem to be a Roman soldier this time ? You described Roman soldiers and how they approached battle this time." the voice said.
"Yes , Rome."
"Carter , when I count from 3 you will wake up and you will forget this dream again. 3...2....1....wake." counted the voice as the scene changed.

Dr. Fox's office : Psychologist
Dr. Fox stood sitting there as Carter Hall returned to the land of the awake. He wrote some notes down. The good doctor was a balding , mid 40sh man. Slightly overweight he smoked a cigarette as he wrote.
"So what is it head shrink ? Am I losing my frigging sanity some more ?" Carter asked rubbing his face.
He's a unique case thats for sure. Carter Hall ..former amateur MMA fighter. One of the best fighters I ever saw fight. Since his suspension his growing anger inside has led to more and more dreams.
"Carter for one ...I am not a head shrink. For another thing you have admitted since you were a kid you had these ...dreams of other places at times. But since your suspension from the amateur league they have doubled." Dr. Fox answered straight.
"Yeah , yeah I get that deal. I know I was suspended for grade A bullshit , Doctor. Now why are these dreams happening more now ?" he asked.
"Perhaps its 2 fold. Your father was a Professor of Archeology at St. Roche College. Then your studies in your time made you follow him and take a job at the Museum here." the Dr. started as he rose from his chair , "So my medical opinion is you are so ingrained with past things like Egyptians , Romans ...battles...as a kid your dreamed it and desired it."
"Your dreams made you volunteer for the Army at 20 after college . You served proudly in Iraq but no combat. The MMA was your dreams of battles Carter. You approached them with a life or death mentality."
Carter Hall nodded slowly. Seeming to accept this for an answer. The dreams had always been a part of his life. So maybe this is the answer he needed.
"So your suggestion Dr.Fox ?" Carter asked.
"You need a physical sport or hobby to get your mind off the past of your job and the need to fight. Maybe it will help your temper pro-" Doctor Fox started as seconds later Carter stood and smashed the desk.
"I DO NOT HAVE A TEMPER PROBLEM !" he yelled. The desk piece broken at the force of the hit.
The 2 men stared at each other as Doctor Fox crossed his arms and stared at the much younger man. Carter shook his head.
"O-Ok...maybe I do have some issues to work on. Just uhhh add the desk to my bill , Doc." he sheepishly answered .

St. Roche Museum
The young brunette woman stood with a clip board in hand. She ordered the men around to bring the heavy crates in and sit them up.
"These are the ones found near the 10th Dynasty near the Nile ?" she asked.
"Yep. We made sure to be easy with em. Locals weren't happy with em being sold to St. Roche. Said the Hawk God or some local god will make us suffer." the one worker answered .
"Fine ...fine . Least some Museum business will get done. While the famous son of Dan Hall's attends his weekly therapist." she replied sarcastically.
"Shiera , you think your being too hard on our residential Museum director ?" asked the female assistant .
"No , that was my job Peggy and since his daddy is famous and teaches at St. Roche he got it." Shiera snapped while she walked.
"It can't be because he's ripped like a Greek god and knows his work here can it ?" Peggy joked.
"Peggy .. I do not like Carter Hall. He could be the last man on Earth and I would never love him." she said storming off. The others around laughed .
****************************************
On a building across from Museum .
The man sit using hi-tech binoculars. He adjusted and watched from the top of the building as he spied on the crates moving in slowly. Taking looks at each one.
"So which we want , Anton ?" the big thug asked from behind him.
"Well , Bull my good man. Using my powers of my cloak , I feel we can get all of them in good time. I suspect that with such lax security we can grab each item and get them out." the man named Anton replied.
"Awful cocky boss. I mean that near snap in Gotham makes me nervous." Bull said.
"Bull please be quiet. St. Roche has no heroes. Now be quiet and let me study for tonight . The people paying us want those goods. So its best we perform to our best tonight." Anton said.
**********************************************
Later that day
Carter Hall had donned a suit and tie for his job. He crunched numbers and sit reading about the museum's latest acquired trophies from the far east and Egypt. He flipped thru some things and stopped.
Chay- Ara ? Thats...impossible. The name from my dream on this Egyptian artifact ? I have to try and get my mind back. Its my job doing this. I heard the name from my father and it stuck in my head.
"Hey boss man , the crates are unloaded and we found some funny stuff in one !" yelled a guy outside.
Carter stood and walked out as he stared. There in the crates was wings and what looked like Hawk masks wore for worshiping of the Hawk God . There was 2 sets . One for a man and one for a woman to wear it seemed.
"This material... I have never felt metal like this. Come and touch this. What can it be ?" he asked .
"Shocked you wouldn't know boss man. I mean this is your field. All of us here are just 9 to 5 guys. Never took much interest in history , sir ." the guy answered.
I never signed for this. Yes the tombs , jewels from that era. But not this. This metal is so weird. Like it wants me to touch it and is something special.
As Carter touched and felt the material he never saw the sun catch the glow of it from the top of the sky light. The light caught it and some force gave off part of an electrical discharge , knocking Carter halfway across the room !
end of part 1. Part 2 coming...
