Characters: Shayera Hol, and anyone who runs into her!
Date: June 23rd
Location: she'll start off in the Earth Sector, but she'll wander to the other sectors throughout the day.
Situation: her arrival on the turtle!
Warnings/Rating: it's Shayera, so don't expect her to be too friendly. other than that, not really expecting anything too severe.

[Honestly, Shayera had been in worse situations. Like the Thangarian invasion, or the Cadmus Crisis, and countless other that would no doubt take too long to list. But most of those incidents, she chose to get involved in. This one? Not so much. If the "Emperor" had asked and given her a good reason to come, she might have agreed.

But no, they dragged her here, most likely while she was sleeping, and so far, no way of getting back to Earth. Needless to say, she didn't feel like playing along. Sure, she'd at least go to her apartment in the Earth Sector and check out the room they gave her. Well, at least it's got plenty of room for her to stretch her wings. But after spending a little time in her room, she explores more around the Earth Sector, trying to ask people for a possible way out, or even more information about the place.

Once she's gotten her bearings in the Earth Sector, she flies over to the other sectors, moving onto the Fire, Wood, Water, and Metal Sectors in that order. Expect her overall demeanor to be frustrated, muttering curses under her breath occasionally.] If I see those guys again, I'll take my mace, and shove it up their-- [She cuts herself off, since people are starting to give her looks. Of course, her scowl isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Approach at your own risk.] I dare this day to try and get worse.

[There's a chuckle, and a teasing smirk on her face as she pats the mace at her side.] Then it should be no problem. Hey, you might even catch it someday.

Someday? Might come quicker than you think.

[A quiet, contemplative pause.]

John ever talk to you about the Corps?

[How are they doing?]

Sometimes. [It's not that she and John didn't spend as much time together, it's just... actually, no, that's it. She misses being that close to him.] But he hasn't talked to me in a while about them.

It's just that it seems in every other universe, they're doing better than they are in mine, and I wanted to know if it was true for yours, too.

[A slight shrug. He doesn't want to keep talking about John except in the lightest of ways, because they both miss him.]

Sorry. I wish I could tell you more, but I'm not really close with any of them. I'm fairly sure they're doing okay, or John would be rushing off to Oa.

That's cool, thanks.

[A quick smile, to ease the tension.]

Pretty sure they could take anything that attacked them, anyway.

From what I've seen of them, I can easily believe that. [Even if they were kinda jerks that one time.]

[They come to a clearing where there's a small camp set up. Kyle walks around, testing to see if it's been disturbed; it hasn't. Then, he sits down and takes out some food from his pack, gesturing for Shayera to join him.]

[She takes a seat next to him, glancing around his little camp. It's got a quaint sort of feeling to it, like a getaway.] Nice little hideaway you've got tucked in here.

It's a good place to escape to - close enough to the city, far enough from the people. There's mountains too, but it'll take a while to get there and it's not often worth the view.

And I'll bet on a crowded turtle like this, there's not many places to really get away. [Though the mountains... she'll have to make a note of that.] I could probably reach them in a fair amount of time.

There aren't, especially not since the barrier shrunk. We can barely go to the ocean now.

[Beat.]

You could, if you were flying fine, but I'd rather not risk something like that, since Superman's been having trouble, too.

You mean it was bigger before? Why did it shrink?

[There's a casual shrug on her end. She practically invented risks.] Maybe some other time, then. [Like later today.]

[Don't think he didn't hear what wasn't said there with 'later', Shayera. But he keeps quiet, because telling her not to do something will probably result in her doing it even faster. LE SIGH.]

The turtle's sick, my guess is that it reduced the barrier's size to conserve energy. That's why everyone's powers are fritzing, too, all of it's being redirected to healing it.

[Hey, she takes risks. IT'S WHAT SHE DOES.] And here I was worried this place naturally took away my powers. Is the turtle getting any better?

Dunno. We've got the science people working on it, at least. The rest of us [a shrug] we wait.

At least that's something, but I still hate just sitting around waiting.

Join the club. There's not much evil to fight, too many superheroes around.

[He offers her a sandwich.]

You sure made it sound like you had been kept busy before. [She takes the sandwich, taking a few bites out of it to fill her stomach.]

With the occasional stuff, yeah. Nothing on the level of what a GL's supposed to do, back home.

So zombies and ghosts aren't on the level of what Lanterns take care of? [She just couldn't resist.]

They're usually planet-sized.

[He doesn't laugh. Blackest Night is still fresh in his mind.]

[Him not laughing in return tips her off a little, but she doesn't press it.] Big or small ones, you guys can handle them.

We sure can.

[He chews, thoughtfully, and makes a bit of a face.]

Is it bad I sometimes wish for more excitement? At home there's at least somebody to punch.

We're superheroes, we practically live on excitement. I'd love to join you on finding something to punch. [Or hit with a mace, same dif.]
