Shelby stares at her sister with wide eyes before bursting out laughing. "I'm sorry. That's just a fantastic story. I mean, Starman? Stargirl? Brainwave! Thats a killer story." she says with a shake of her head.
Courtney groans, "It's the truth! And I want you to join the team!" she tells her.
"Team? You roped someone into your cosplay sessions? Are you sure you're not just trying to trick me into a group halloween thing again?" she asks with some confusion but her amuse smile staying on her face as she looks over her sisters 'Stargirl' suit.
"Shelby." Courtney grabs her sisters shoulders and looks into her eyes, "I'm serious. Blue Valley is not what is seems. I need you to help me. Villains are here, and they threated to kill mom. To kill you. You are the smartest person I know. Please, join the team."
"Okay, I'll bite." she responses crossing her arms, "Who would I be? I don't exactly have super powers."
Courtney smiles before rushing to her closet and pulling out some things from a big bag. "You will be our new Girl of a Thousand Gimmicks!" she says with enthusiasm before showing her the belt, mask and grappling gun.
Shelby raises an eyebrow, "Is that it?"
Her sister deflate a little, "Yeah... The costume wasn't there, but Pat said that she left before the JSA was offical so she probably took the suit with her."
The older Whitmore blinks in surprise, "I'm sorry, did you say Pat? Is Pat in on this? Court you need to explain everything before you recuite someone to be a hero." she scolds.
Courtney cringes, "I knew I forgot something." she sighs, "Pat is helping me, sort of. He has a robot and can fly."
Shelby's eyes widen, "He was the robot that saved us on the bus!"
Her sister shushes her, "Yes, but remember Mom and Mike don't know so keep it down."
"Right... Wait, why aren't we telling them?" the older sister questions.
"To keep them safe." she replies.
"But you're telling me." she points out.
Courtney nods, "Yes, to keep you safe."
"You lost me." Shelby sighs, "Okay, whatever. Girl of a Thousand Gimmicks is to much. If I'm joining this rag tag team of chaos, I'm changing the name."
"Fair, the names a bit much." the younger blonde nods.
"What about... Gimmix, but with an x and not c k? Simple, to the point." Shelby says putting the eye mask up to her face.
Court smiles, "I like it. I'll see if we can get you a suit. Until then, these are yours." she says sliding the other two things to her.
"I still doubt this is real but for the sake of you using serious eyes, I'm believing you." Shelby reminds her.
"You'll believe me soon."

After the whole superhero talk, Shelby felt in over her head to even think about Halloween. Yet she's already being roped into her first 'mission', walking with Courtney, Yolanda, and now for some reason Beth Chapel. None dressed up in a costume. But Shelby tries with the bare minimum of a sweater with a pumpkin face.
