She was only to be out in space near Earth for a few hours, then exchange messages with her friend, Lorraine over what she saw and what Lorraine saw while exploring the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.

Betty heads back for Earth and checks the rear view monitor just above her control panel.  She sees a giant green and purple globe begin to form around Green Lantern, Star Sapphire, and Zastia.  She then sees this globe fly past her on the way back to Earth, presumably to California where the two heroines do most of their adventuring.

She is tempted to follow them, but knows that could make matters worse.  Plus, she has a landing strip in Arizona waiting for her.

Dinnertime in Metropolis for two people who once knew each other well.  Joan and Emily sit across from each other at the dining table, enjoying the pasta as they converse.  Emily’s roommate, Wendy has taken her dog for a walk.

Joan “So what’s the deal with the Wendy girl?  And what’s with the cape on her dog?”

Emily “She’s been my roommate for a few months now.  She was living alone, but it was starting to depress her so…I let her move in with me.  I wasn’t really doing anything with the other bedroom anyway, and the rent’s cheaper now with her helping with the payments.”

Joan “Yeah, but the dog?”

Emily “He’s a good boy.  Wendy rescued him from an animal shelter.  She calls him ‘Wonderdog.’”

Joan “Oh.  Well, I guess that would explain the cape.  I feel like I know her face from somewhere.”

Emily “Wendy’s okay.  She…had a bad bout with depression a while back.  You probably remember her from that time she almost jumped off the roof of the LexCorp building.”

Joan “The day Superwoman made herself public!  Oh wow, you’re right.  I knew she looked familiar!”

Emily “She doesn’t like to talk about it and I don’t bring it up.  She’s a smart girl.  Mister Luthor kept her on and he’s paid for her therapy.”

Joan “Oh.  So you two work together then.”

Emily “Yeah.  She’s completely enamored with Superwoman and Supergirl and Powergirl and all the other superheroes flying around.  I still don’t know what Superwoman told her, but whatever it was it worked.”
