Thanagarian Invasion! Part 1: Hawk Vengeance.
There was a saying that revenge was a dish best served cold.  As he flew the night skies over St. Roch, Tharok began to understand exactly what that saying meant.  He had come to earth for one purpose and one purpose alone: to seek revenge upon she who had sullied his father's name and reputation--Shayera Hol.  Years ago she had been Thanagarian and loyal, an advance sent by the Thanagarian forces to assist in the invasion of the pathetic little planet Earth.  But she had betrayed Thanagar and betrayed the man she was bound to and the invasion force was sent back in shame.  None had borne the shame more than Hro Talak, Tharok's father.  The once-proud man spend the rest of his life disgraced, shamed, and shattered and Tharok refused to permit his father to die entirely a failure.  It had taken him years to work his way up in the Thanagarian forces and then years beyond that to convince the government to attempt a second Earth invasion but he had finally done it.  Tharok himself went first to gather information--and kill Shayera.

But upon arriving Tharok found something more interesting than just killing Shayera: her children.  A plot formed in his mind, one that would cause great suffering to Shayera, something that would haunt her the rest of her days.  MUCH more effective than killing her.  Rex Stewart and Nicolette Hall would pay for their mother's crimes.

Swooping down in the darkness, Tharok had gathered enough information.  Tonight was the night to act and with something of a gleeful smirk on his face, the true Thanagarian began to break into the Hawk's beloved museum.

It didn't take Aleea long at all to change into her uniform and get her jetpack strapped on. Her laser pistol was charged and in her holster at her side and she had plenty of charges.

She snapped her helmet into place and followed after Nic.

"Lead the way."

They made the trip in three minutes, Nicolette flying like she was possessed the whole way. Her wings were at full expanse and she was in obvious battle-mode when she touched down in front of the museum only to find the doors shattered and signs of a fight leading within.

"Oh fuck. Leea, stay here unless I call for you. I might need you to get out of here fast and call Mickey." The green girl from the barbecue. Aleea would know.

Tucking her wings down and readying her mace, Hawkgirl picked her way through the smashed entrance and followed the trail of blood and glass into the main gallery. Where she promptly spotted her brother battered and on the floor, wedged in what had been the weapons case.

"REX!" Nicolette screamed and dropped to her knees in front of her brother, mace forgotten.

Aleea had waited outside, keeping an eye out for any further trouble, but keeping her focus on the spot where Nic had gone inside. Something about this bothered her, beyond whatever might have happened to Rex, but she couldn't put her finger on what.

Nic's scream, however, took precedence over all of that. Moving like lightning, Aleea unholstered her ray gun and gunned her rocketpack, blasting into the building like a shot from a gun.

Which was when she saw Rex.

"Oh...!"

"He's hurt!" Nic was panicking. She'd seen her brother bleed before and seen him after losing to Mom but she'd never seen anything like this. She scooted aside to let Aleea in.

"We gotta get him out of here..." There were tears in her eyes. "C'mon Rex...don't die..." She pulled off her mask so she could better see his wounds and chucked her arm braces so she could try to pull glass from his body.

Then she heard a noise and stopped.

"Bastard's still here. You stay with Rex. I'm gonna go pulverize this asshole."

She didn't wait for an opinion or a response. She just got up and started following the noise.

Rex was a big guy. Anything that could do this to him had to be tough.

Aleea's head swiveled in the direction of the noise, but she couldn't make anything out.

Instead, she just kept her gun out, crouching protectively over Rex's prone form.

Rex lies still, and Aleea can see that his helmet is cracked and one side of his face and one eye are swelling. His breathing is labored, and there is blood trickling from his mouth.

Soon enough, however, he coughs, sputtering blood.

"N..Nic?" he groans, already trying to rise.

"Stay still, Rex," Aleea said, quietly. "You're hurt. Bad."

"Nic's checking around."

Despite his pain, Rex's good eye focuses on Aleea and grabs her arm.

"Leea...we gotta...gotta help her. It's...a trap. Tharok wants her. We gotta, stop him." Warhawk says, trying to push himself to his feet, and failing. He takes a deep, painful breath, and grips the side of the counter.

In one pull, Rex Stewart forces himself to his feet, his right arm hanging limp at his side. He's not standing straight, but he's standing. The rest will come.

"Which way... did she go?" he pants, already bone tired. He can fall down again once they've got Nicolette safe and sound at home.

Aleea knows better than to argue, especially if Nic is in danger. "That way," she said, pointing.

"Here, lean on me, at least," she added. By Rannagar, she hoped she was doing the right thing here. If Rex was hurt... or if Nic was hurt, she wasn't sure she'd be able to forgive herself.

Rex despises being beaten in a straight fight, but he has to face facts: Tharok utterly outclassed and outsmarted him. Now, Aleea and Nic had seen him like this. That stung his pride more than the actual ass-kicking he'd taken.

He leans on Aleea, and walks in the direction she pointed to Nic as having gone, stopping only to grab one of his maces, hanging the other on his belt. That's when he sees Nic's helmet, vambraces and mace on the floor.

"Don't tell me she went without weapons or..." Rex's sentence end in a string of Thanagarian and Rannian curse-words that had gotten him in trouble once when they were kids.

"If that girl gets hurt, Mom and Carter are going to kill me. And I'm gonna let them." he says, limping along to keep up with Aleea.

Aleea recognized what most of those words meant, and probably would have blushed if the situation hadn't otherwise been so serious.

She never should have let Nic go on alone. Rookie move, rookie mistake, and always led to bad things in the Earth movies her father got her.

She picked up her pace a little bit more, moving as fast as she thought Rex could. "Not your fault, Rex..."

"Yeah, it is. I should have stopped this guy." Rex grunts, forcing himself to keep up with Aleea.

"Thanks for comin' with her, 'Leea. If it was just us, I'd still be lying on that floor right now."

"Not a problem," Aleea said. She gripped her raygun tightly. First sign of anything, she was shooting first and asking questions later, even if that was the direct opposite of how she'd been taught to handle things.

"I think I hear something..."

What she heard was Nicolette scream.

He was amused; she'd come at him snarling and full of anger, launching herself at his chest without defense or weapon, all spit and anger as she punched and clawed at him. He'd let her have his fun before throwing her across the room, her small frame smashing through a display case.

"Fiesty. I do enjoy that and will enjoy beating it out of you." Tharok twisted his large hand through Nic's reddish hair and yanked, pulling the kicking and screaming girl along behind him as he moved swiftly to the exist.

</i>LET GO OF ME!</i>

He stopped, just outside the museum and yanked her up from the ground, again by her hair, again making her scream in pain.

"Shut up you pathetic creature. Now you are mine and you will learn to do as you are told or suffer consequences."

He slammed her against a tree, his hand on her throat. In a blink her body went slack and the Thanagarian invader grabbed her up and took to the skies, the darkness enveloping him.

Rex hears that scream, and now he's limping faster down the hall, wings twitching in panic. He has to get there before Tharok can hurt his sister. Why did she come here after him? If only she'd just stayed home.

"NICOLETTE!" Rex yells, pushing his way into the room, as Tharok carries off his sister.

"THAROK! BRING HER BACK HERE!" Warhawk rages, falling to his knees.

He's failed his sister. How will he live with himself after tonight?

Aleea wasn't far behind Rex, pistol read to shoot someone. She took aim at the retreating figure, but brought her weapon down. No way to shoot him without maybe causing him to drop Nic. And she didn't know if she was conscious or not.

And too far away to fly after.

She clenched her fist. "Rex," she said. "It's going to be okay. We're going to get her back. And then rip out his intestines."

If the situation weren't so dire, Rex would favor Aleea with a smile. She'd pretty much just summed up what he was thinking.

"Tharok is dead man...but we're gonna need some back-up, and lucky for us, I've got some people in mind that wouldn't mind helping us kick some ass." he says.

"Make the call," Aleea said. "...And then we need to patch you up."
