After the Thanagarian threat, Shayera found refugee with the mysterious Dr. Fate and his wife, Inza. During her time with them, she'd have a chance to contemplate her choices. However, weeks turned to months and she still could not recuperate from the invasion. It wasn't until Solomon Grundy had been raised from the dead that she'd take up her mace again. Solomon Grundy proved to be unstoppable to even Green Lantern, Superman, and the android AMAZO. Her mace was the only object on Earth capable of stopping the monster due to N'th metal's magic-disrupting properties. Regrettably, she was forced to kill Grundy in the sewers.

When emerging from below, Shayera was greeted by a group of news reporters. One of the questions that was raised was her dismissal from the League. Green Lantern revealed that the six other members voted to keep her in the League, with Superman casting the tie breaking vote, despite his distrust after the invasion. However, Shayera's return to the outside world was not only greeted by reporters but by haters as well, with the crowd screaming out "Hawk-witch!". She did have supporters in the crowd, including one whose life she saved, saying "God bless Chica Halcon".

Shayera did return to the Justice League and was welcomed back to the founding members council. However, she would not be present at trials such as that of Doomsday. As for her relationship with John Stewart, it was not rekindled immediately. During her time away from the League, John Stewart had started seeing new Justice League member, Vixen.

Not only was there conflict with Vixen over John Stewart but with Wonder Woman as well. Wonder Woman reluctantly let Shayera join the team again however would hold a grudge aganist Shayera until she was forced to take Shayera along to Themiscrya and Tartarus due to Felix Faust's return and his usurping of Hades' throne. During this mission, Shayera and Wonder Woman settled their differences once and for all.

When Lex Luthor and Brainiac merged together, Shayera and the founding members were faced with their own duplicates. Not necessarily duplicates of them but of their Justice Lords counterparts. Shayera's drone belittled her, saying that nobody trusted her, and everyone despised her on both Earth and Thanagar. The Hawkgirl drone was eventually crushed, with pleasure, by Green Lantern who was letting off steam for his broken heart. Shayera returned the favor by slamming the head of Green Lanterns duplicate off its shoulders with a simple "likewise, I'm sure".

When the League was defeated by the combination of Brainiac and Luthor, The Flash ran around the world, faster than he has ever gone, slamming hit after hit into the cyborg. When Brainiac was finally driven from Luthor, Flash entered the Speed Force. Shayera was the one who located the extra-dimensional portal and was able to grab hold of Flash's arm. With the assistance of the six other members, they pulled him. Both Flash and Shayera collapsed to the ground and Shayera embraced him as if he were her brother.

With Luthor behind bars, the League reformed itself yet again by building the Metro Tower. During a mission with Green Lantern, Vixen and Batman, Shayera met Carter Hall, an archaeologist, whom had studied ancient ruins in Egypt. What he discovered was a weapon from Thanagar. The two agreed to discuss the weapon over dinner, much to Green Lantern's disapproval. Before Shayera began her date with Hall, Batman revealed that Carter had been following Shayera on several different occasions like a stalker. Shayera grew angry at both Batman and Green Lantern for not trusting her and left them with "don't wait up." And of course, Shayera meant it, as she would put that Carter "didn't miss the dress last night".

Carter brought Shayera to the ruins and showed her ancient hieroglyphs that showed Thanagarian ancestry. After venturing deep inside the Egyptian tomb, he revealed that he really didn't need to her to translate anything. He changed into a harness with wings attached and put a Thanagarian helmet on, proclaiming himself Hawkman. Shayera didn't take him seriously though and simply laughed at both him and her (for having the worst taste in men). Hawkman showed her an ancient Thanagarian vessel as well as a device known as an absorbocron, the very item he touched and discovered that he was the reincarnation of a man named Katar Hall and after this discovery, he changed his name from Joseph Gradner to Carter Hall. He believed that Shayera was the reincarnation of Katars wife, Chay-era Hall and urged her to also touch the absorbocron. However, she denied his request by flipping him over her shoulders and into the vessel. At this very point, their follower had revealed himself. The Shadow Thief captured both in pursuit of stealing the treasures inside the tomb. Carter agreed as long as he didn't hurt Shayera. Carter was then stopped when their second follower revealed himself: Batman. Shadow Thief caused the tombs traps to initiate. While Shayera, Hawkman and Batman battled the tombs booby trapped mummies, Shadow Thief took advantage of the situation by stealing the tombs treasures until Shayera flew in and energized her mace, causing the Shadow Thief to retreat into the ground. However, due to the damage done to the tomb, they too were forced to retreat. However, Hawkman attempted to save the absorbocron. Shayera was able to stop him and brought him back up to the surface. Hawkman flew off but claimed that Shayera would come around eventually and see that it is their destiny to be with each other. Shayera was beginning to wonder if he was right. Of course Batman said if that's what she believes.

Hawkman would show up once again when Green Lantern was captured by the Shadow Thief, threatening he'd be back for the Thanagarian harpy. The two paid a visit to the Midway City Museum, Carter Hall's workplace, to get some clues to the Shadow Thief's whereabouts. They discovered that the Shadow Thief beat them there and had Green Lantern hung up. Shayera attacked the Shadow Thief while Vixen attempted to release John. Vixen was thrown under piles of fossil debris. Hawkman came to her rescue when Shadow Thief attempted to murder Vixen. Shayera and Hawkman attacked the Shadow Thief again. He was became restrained when Shayera wrapped a whip around him. However, Hawkman did not take his chance to get the Shadow Thief. Both ended up captured. When Shayera woke up, Hawkman and Green Lantern were positioned around the thought to be buried absorbocron. Shadow Thief forced them all to touch it and their past lives were revealed. It was revealed that Chay-era fell out of love with Katar and fell in love with Egyptian General Ashari, John Stewarts previous incarnation. Chay-era and Ashari were poisoned by the priest Hath-Set (whom is presumed to be the past incarnation of Kragger). Katar discovered their bodies and committed suicide, clenching his dead wife's hand. Everything became clear. Shadow Thief revealed himself to be Hawkman's darkest thoughts and unspeakable desires. He was released when Carter first touched the absorbocron. Carter was released. Shadow Thief ordered him to finish John Stewart off. Claiming he was the only one standing between him and Shayera. Thankfully, Carter released John and so Shayera was then too released. Shadow Thief was finally stopped when he fused back with Hawkman. Hawkman apologized to Shayera for his behavior. He realized that they weren't meant for each other and so left her to end the story the way it's supposed to be ended.

John and Shayera then discussed them on the Watchtower. John Stewart revealed that he and Batman went to the future and met a man named Warhawk, their son. Shayera showed happiness with this information. However, despite the knowledge of their incarnations and the birth of their son, John refused to be destiny's puppet and stayed with Mari however, confessed to Shayera that he will never say that he didn't love her. Shayera gave John a shrewd look at his stubbornness and instead went to another source about her son: Batman.

Shayera continued to serve with the League. With missions such as Darkseid's return and Ace warping reality with the new Royal Flush Gang. However, it is unknown how or even when, Shayera and John Stewart took each other back and Shayera gave birth to Rex Stewart whom would be later known as Warhawk.
