St. Roche Mercy Hospital
The doors flew open as people raced down the halls. The ER was packed with people, but a gunshot victim was pushed ahead as the ER doctors got the lowdown on this mysterious patient. Carter stuck behind as the doors closed.
"I'm sorry about that, Hawkman. I gave the order for the swat to take the shot." said Hardrow walking up.
"Why? He was unarmed and powered down enough Hardrow not to." he replied back.
"I didn't know. All we knew was this mysterious big guy was destroying part of the city and giving you a serious fight. We didn't know if you could stop him." the detective answered.
Carter put his head down and debated his feelings. He breathed out slowly, "I...I understand Hardrow. You did what you felt ya had to do."
I know Hardrow did what he felt was the right thing. But I need to know what Golden Eagle knows. What exactly this Thanagar is and why it seems important. All I can hope for is he pulls through this.

Shiera's apartment.
Shiera Saunders arrived back at her apartment breathing hard. The sense of excitement beating in her heart. She kept rerunning the scene over and over through her head repeatedly on how she beat someone up.
That, that was ...wow...did I do all that? I mean it felt like I was born to do that. I have no idea what happened either. Like in my head it became easy to do!
She drank some water from a glass and stared at her image a few seconds in the glass. Part of her wondered if she saw something more within herself than she ever imagined. Finally she sits back on the couch to think of something else.
Her phone rang; she tried to calm herself down when she noticed it was her father. She didn’t want to worry him with the events of the evening.
After a few minutes of chatting over business Shiera decided to ask him a question, "Dad remember when I used to tell you about the dreams I had as a kid?"
Her dad answered, "Yes honey, but we chalked it up to your imagination. It was pretty wild. You were always claiming to be a variety of things... an Egyptian Princess, a female pirate, a Knights bride. But we chalked it up to the TV you watched. I'm sure you outgrew those day dreams."
"Y-Yes dad out grew them." Shiera said nodding.

Back at the Hospital
It had seemed like hours before the doctor walked out of the ER. He walked over to Hardrow and discussed the patient they had wheeled in. Finally the Detective walked over to Hawkman.
"He pulled through. Doctor said the bullet missed his vital organs by luck. We have him cuffed so he can't break free and will keep an armed guard outside." Hardrow said.
"That's all fine but I need to talk to him.” Carter replied.
"Whoa, whoa big guy. You catch the super villains, we handle the interrogation aspect." the detective said trying to stop Carter from walking in.
"Look, you owe me for shooting the damn guy. I need to talk with him. I'm not going to let him go. I just want to ask him some questions ok. I need to know why he came here." he said.
"This is so going against what we do. I'm already catching hell from the mayor for you. Make it quick ok..." Hardrow commanded.
Carter nodded and walked down the hallway. The guards stared at him wearing the mask and costume as Hardrow nodded for them to let him in. The hero turned and thanked Hardrow as he walked into the room and shut the door.
I am so going to end up losing my job to help him. But he has a point. If someone dressed as our Hawkman shows up, then it stands to reason Hawkman needs to know why.

Inside the room.
His eyes slowly opened as the weird machine beeped at times. Char Andar was amazed at finding himself there as Prince Khufu stood before him staring. The room was weird for this planet as he slowly regained what had happened.
"I... I thought you killed me, Prince Khufu? “He asked sitting up.
"No, someone else accidently shot you. We managed to get you here in time." Carter answered.
"So your faith healers here use weird machines instead of relying on our sacred Nth metal then to heal us?" Char asked.
"Yes they do. Now, let’s discuss something. My mind and memories are fuzzy. Reincarnation will do that. But who the hell are you? What's Thanagar?" he asked.
"I...I will tell you my prince and hopefully your memories will be restored..." Golden Eagle began.
"Your planet here was once a vast jungle world ruled by a species that was primitive ....."
