*Happy birthday to you*
*Happy birthday, dear Stacey*
*Happy birthday to you*
Hey, kids, come on inside.
We're gonna cut the cake soon.
Please, Mom. I want to go to the party.
No, Rebecca.
- Why not? - You know why not.
You made a scene at the store today.
I just wanted that doll.
I spoil you too much, as it is.
Daddy would let me go.
Well, your dad's out on call, so you're stuck with me.
I'm Bruce. I just moved in.
What's your name?
Rebecca.
Do you want to go to the party, Rebecca?
- I can't. - Why not?
My mom said so.
Well, I don't see your mom.
Come on. It's right across the street.
It'll be fun.
Come on!
- What's that for? - That's a donkey tail.
We're gonna play pin the tail on the donkey in a little bit.
When can we open presents?
We'll open presents after we have cake and ice cream.
All right, children,
I think it's time for cake and ice cream.
You should take one.
Susie has so many presents,
and you didn't get anything today.
I bet there's a doll in there somewhere.
Go on. No one's looking.
I wonder what it is.
You stole that.
Bad girl.
Rebecca?
That girl.
No!
All clear!
She said all clear, guys.
So, no supervillains?
Did you check inside the trash can?
Sarcasm. Duly noted.
So I've got 27 minutes until curfew.
How 'bout we do one more loop around the Sub Shack?
Beth, any sign of trouble?
Goggles. Checking in.
Again. Ha.
Anything out there?
- Searching. - Hello?
Searching. Searching.
These things just aren't as much fun without Chuck.
Searching. Scanning complete.
Yep. Nothing.
No trouble alerts. No trace of the Gambler
or Cindy Burman or Solomon Grundy.
Hey, guys.
I've beat Grundy, okay, and the Gambler's a wimp,
and Cindy Burman probably got crushed with Brainwave
when the dish caved in.
I doubt it, and the others could--
What others, Court?
Icicle was shattered into a thousand pieces.
Dragon King is dead.
Tigress and Sportsmaster-- they're locked up.
The ISA are done. All of them.
I think we should call it a night, Court.
Me too.
Yeah. Come on.
We're the Justice Society of America.
We can't quit.
We're not quitting. We're still the JSA.
And if something happens,
we'll suit up, and we'll be there.
But right now we're protecting a town
that doesn't really need it.
Okay. Maybe we can cut patrol back
from seven nights a week to six.
Good night.
Later.
Well, I'm gonna do that last loop,
so if anyone changes their mind,
meet me at the Sub Shack in ten.
Okay. No problem. I got it.
See you tomorrow.
You'll never quit on me, will you?
Court? It's 4:00 in the morning.
What are you doing down here?
Going through the JSA files.
Please don't tell me you've been up all night.
We agreed to be honest with each other, so...
I have been up all night, yes.
But with good reason.
Okay, well, what about your history final?
Oh, I'll ace that. What happened to Per Degaton?
Per Degaton?
The Flash banished him to an alternate timeline.
Whatever...that means.
Blackbriar Thorn.
Green Lantern destroyed him in '88.
- Baron Blitzkrieg. - That's enough, Court, okay.
It's not nearly enough, Pat.
I've got a responsibility as Stargirl to stay vigilant.
Okay, look.
You got a responsibility as Courtney Whitmore
to focus on normal life instead of this stuff, okay?
This stuff is my destiny.
Your destiny isn't just about being Stargirl, okay?
It's about going to school, getting good grades,
working towards a career.
A career as Stargirl.
Pat, just...
the Staff chose me when my own dad didn't
for a reason that clearly goes beyond the Injustice Society.
I mean, look at the obvious.
We stopped the ISA, and the Staff is still lighting up.
It's still working, so that means I have to be.
Okay, well, it's not that simple, Court.
Being a superhero doesn't mean that the rest of your life
takes a backseat.
It's about finding a balance.
Taking advantage of times like these.
The fact that things are quiet? That's a good thing.
We just think it's quiet.
Just because we don't see it doesn't mean it's not there.
