Maria Canals-Barrera: Shayera Hol, Woman

Quotes 

• Shayera Hol : Aquaman thinks I've been here too long.

  Inza Nelson : Flowers bloom when they are ready, Shayera. Not before.

  Shayera Hol : I'm no flower. I don't know what I am. I'm not Lieutenant Shayera Hol of the Thanagarian Empire. Not anymore. I've been stripped of my rank, exiled from my home world. I'm not Hawkgirl, that was always a sham. Most people on Earth will never trust me again, and I can't blame them. When I do my job, people get hurt, people that I care about.

  Inza Nelson : And what happens when you don't do your job?

• [as several onlookers boo Hawkgirl] 

  John Stewart : Back off! She doesn't have to take that from you people!

  Shayera Hol : Yes, I do. But it's okay. I guess I deserve some of it.

  [Her hand is taken] 

  Woman : You saved our lives. God bless you, Chica Halcón.

  John Stewart : [to Shayera]  You deserve that, too.

• Aquaman : I win again... huzzah.

  Shayera Hol : It's just a game.

  [Aquaman knocks the board and pieces off the table] 

  Aquaman : You disgust me!

  Shayera Hol : Join the club.

• John Stewart : Shayera?

  Shayera Hol : Hate the beard.

• Dr. Fate : The creature knows only rage and seeks only oblivion. Your mace may be the one object on Earth that can grant him peace.

  John Stewart : What are you saying?

  Shayera Hol : Your favorite movie's "Old Yeller"; you know *exactly* what he's saying. Is this my destiny? To be a destroyer? To betray yet *another* friend?

  Dr. Fate : It's not that simple. It never was.

• Shayera Hol : Let's try and get there before the League kills him.

  [Amazo glances back at the fight just as Grundy slams both Superman and Green Lantern] 

  Amazo : That scenario seems... unlikely.

• Aquaman : Only you have the power to put that creature out of its misery. And to stop it before it hurts anyone else.

  John Stewart : ...

  [puts his hand on Shayera's arm] 

  John Stewart : You don't have to Shayera. I'll do it for you. Give me the mace.

  Shayera Hol : Forget it, John. He was my friend. It's my responsibility. I'll do it myself!

• Dr. Fate : Are you certain you're up to this?

  Shayera Hol : Doesn't matter. Bad guy or not, he sacrificed his life to save ours. We owe him the benefit of the doubt.

  Dr. Fate : Very well.

  [opening a portal] 

  Dr. Fate : I've learned the hard way that the energy-dampening properties of this device can disrupt fundamental forces. So I've kept it hidden in a pocket dimension, away from the magic that must flow freely in my home. But if you are truly ready to take up the fight again...

  Shayera Hol : [removing her mace]  I'm ready.
