The Hall of Justice was crowded with reporters, flashes of cameras catching the golden shine of her armor and the sweep of her great wings as she stepped up to the podium. Hawkwoman had been asked to speak on behalf of the Justice League, her presence commanding immediate silence as microphones stretched forward.

"We stand united. The League will continue to protect this world from threats beyond and within. What we faced last week was tough and challenging, but we can assure that the threat in question is for the moment contained. I will now answer questions on behalf of the Justice League."

Her voice cut through the hall, steady and sharp, each word deliberate. She scanned the rows of eager faces, unreadable for a moment, then raised her hand and pointed toward one of the journalists in the crowd.

"Yes, the Gotham Gazette."
