storyline Kendra Saunders woke up from a dream where she and Carter - as Hawkgirl and Hawkman - were fighting undead creatures. Danny, one of the museum staff. Walked her out. En route, two small earthquakes hit. The police were quick to the scene, but they'd heard nothing about any earthquakes, only that they'd found body parts of dead transients. Kendra headed home, but on her way, her car went crazy. She got out of it before it crashed. When she jumped out, the doors had locked themselves and she had no control over it at all. When it was recovered, the doors were unlocked.
The next day, Kendra and Danny found a strange tunnel in the museum's basement. Another tremor hit and they were separated by rubble.

That night, Hawkgirl battled a masked person who'd butchered two men. She was able to save their companion. She began to think of some newspaper clippings she'd found at the museum earlier. They all dealt with similar occurrences and dated back centuries. When the cops arrived, they removed the man's mask. His body instantly turned to dust.

storyline Hawkgirl flew to the basement of her museum and bashed through a wall. There was a tunnel identical to that in her dream. Khimaera attacked, followed by Roderic Christopher, the man controlling her. The Maw, Khimaera's real master, called out for Roderic, who also had multiple souls, but was much older (he claimed to have been hunting Hawks for 3500 years). Hawkgirl moved back, then threw them both into the Maw. Hath-set, his second soul, escaped. Doucette arrived as Kendra made her exit. He blasted at the Maw, which collapsed upon itself, taking with it most of the artifacts from the previously not-there basement tunnel.
