In the morning, Nate went downstairs. Kevin and Gwendolyn were sitting down at the table.
Gwendolyn: Hey, Nate.
Kevin: Sup, kid, Happy Halloween.
Nate: Kevin, it's early in the morning, why are you wearing such a terrifying outfit.
Kevin: Alright, wise guy. You better be getting to school. Got your keys?
Nate: Yep.
Gwendolyn: Keys?... Kevin, you didn't.
Kevin: What? He's got his licence.
Gwendolyn: You didn't upgrade it did you?
Kevin: What?! Of course not. That would be highly irresponsible... Have a good day at school, Nate.
Nate: Bye, guys.
Nate walked out the door and approached his car.

At school, Yolanda and Nate were helping Courtney put the bag of the superhero gear in her locker.
Nate: Everything in this bag is irregularly shaped, and it's very unhelpful.
Yolanda: Why did you even bring all this stuff to school?
Courtney: My mom was going through my closet.
They try closing the locker door but it got stuck.
Courtney: I think the Green Lantern is stuck.
They push until the locker door closes. They then go through the halls.
Courtney: We have to ramp up our search, guys. We can't take on the entire Injustice Society ourselves.
Nate: 17 alien species that's all I'm saying.
Courtney: How many of them are actually useful?
Nate: Touché.
Courtney: Who can we ask?
Yolanda: What about Artemis Crock? She's the best athlete in the whole school.
Courtney: I thought about her, but she's too...
They look over to see her tackling a teammate.
Nate: -intense?
Courtney: "I was gonna say competitive. We need someone with skills and heroic traits."
Yolanda: Okay, question. If the ISA is a bunch of murdering freaks, shouldn't we be looking beyond Blue Valley High?
Courtney: We can't trust adults. Anyone in Blue Valley could be a member of the Injustice Society.

After school, Nate was driving through town when he saw Courtney walking by. He drove beside her and rolled his windows down.
Nate: I thought Pat was taking you home. He kick you out?
Courtney: No. I was just trying to recruit somebody.
Nate: Right. Need a ride?
Courtney: Sure.
She walks around to the passenger's side and gets in. She looked at the dashboard and moved her finger to the control panel.
Nate: Don't touch anything, you might blow something up.
Courtney: I-I wasn't planning on it.
Nate: I could see you already reaching for one of the buttons.
