Shelby sits in the Pit stop, tears in her eyes at the news they just recieved. Courtney got hurt in a fight and is now in the hospital. Yolanda sits next to her holding her hand in comfort.

"What the hell are we doing just standing here?" Rick shouts in frustration as he tosses stuff of one of the tables, "Cindy Burman sent Courtney to the emergency room tonight! She tried to kill her!" he says walking over to the two, Beth trailing behind.

"So, what should we do?" Yolanda questions, standing up but keeping a hold on the blondes hand.

"We break Cindy Burman's door down, and we take the bitch out!" Rick answers as if it's obvious.

Shelby looks up confused, "What? No, Cindy has powers."

"So do we. Don't you care that your so called friend nearly killed your sister?" he throws back at her.

She stands, "Of course I care! But going into this with no plan won't end well for us." she argues.

"We have powers." he brings back up.

"Cindy Burman having powers means that her dad or her mom could be part of the Injustice Society." Beth brings to their attention.

"Great, lets hope so." Rick replies walking past her and grabbing his hour glass before heading for the door.

Shelby and Beth step infront of him, stopping him. "Hey, we have no idea what we'd be walking into, or who we'd be up against." Beth tells him.

"We have to be smart about this. Compared to the ISA, we're going in blind." The blonde adds.

Rick huffs, "An eye for an eye is how it works." he tells them.

"Listen, Rick, I'm mad too. But you just need to sit down and cool off." Beth tries to reason with him.

"Or what? What are you gonna do? Stare at me?" Rick argues with her, glaring down at her.

Shelby moves to stand infront of Beth and take his glare. "Just because you're hurt, doesn't mean you get to hurt everyone else. Or am I completely wrong, Rick?"

He moves away from the two, going back to the table he cleared off and banged his fist down on it in frustration keeping his back to the girls. "Listen, I care about Courtney, about all of you. About everyone in Blue Valley. But we should be trying to figure out who Cindy's parents are before we act." Beth steps up looking at everyone.

"I think Beth's right Rick." Yolanda says making the boy turn around.

"Okay. So, what do you wanna do?" He questions looking at Beth.

"I've got a plan. A good one."

---------------------------

"How are ya feeling?" Shelby asks as she enters her sisters room.

Courtney scrunches her face, "I'm alright." she replies with hesitance.

"What are we telling mom?" she asks sitting next to her sister on the bed.

"Pat was teaching me to drive after the game, I crashed it into a pole. Mike was with a friend and you stayed after for a cheer meeting." Courtney explains with a sigh.

"Why'd you go off by yourself? You could have waited for us." Shelby says softly, not wanting to scold her as she's already hurt.

"She came out of no where. I wasn't... trying to fight her, I just wanted to look around." the younger sister explains.

"Pat says your benched for a while?" she asks and Courtney nods.

"He wants to tell mom the truth." she brings ups.

The older sister's eyes widen, "What? She won't let us do this if we tell her. Is he crazy?"

"He's being a dad." Courtney tells her. "He doesn't want her to worry and for us to lie."

Shelby sighs, "We're teenagers, worrying and lying are a given as a parent." she says before joining her sister in laying down. "We'll get through this, what's a few bruises and," she looks her sister over, "cuts to stop us."

Courtney smiles, "You still wanna be Gimmix after everything."

"I've been working on some fun things to add to my belt. Besides, I've got a suit that I've been working on so I won't bruise as much." the older explains with a nod.

"Can't wait to see." Courtney says before letting out a yawn, "Stay with me tonight?"

"Always baby sis."

------------------------------

"She was here." Courtney says the second her sister enters her room after here 'SOS' text.

Shelby look confused, "Who was?"

The younger Whotmore groans, "Cindy! She was here, was acting normal pretending to be friends. Then when she left she said she knew I was Stargirl and threatened to kill my friends and you."

Her eyes widen, "Shit."

"Yeah! And, Pat and Beth are inside Cindy's house! Yolanda's not replying to my texts." the curly blonde says with a bit of panic.

Shelby places her hands on her sisters's shoulders, "Hey. It'll be okay. Pat won't let anything happen to them. We had a plan to stake out, it seems things changed after I left them though. They'll be fine." she reasures her.

"Yeah... Yeah, they'll be fine." Courtney says taking a deep breathe. "Come on." she says getting out of bed.

"Woah, slow down." she tries to tell her but the younger girl wasn't listening and rushes down stairs and to the basement. "Court."

Courtney was quick even while injured, opening up the crate and grabbing her staff. "Come on. We have to help the JSA." she says to both her sister and the staff.

The staff glows and moves itself out of the girls hands. "Hey." Courtney complains and goes to move the staff but it stays in place, fighting against her movements. "What's wrong with you? Pat and the others are in trouble." she says and the Staff lets up and allows her to move it.

"What are you gonna do Court?" Shelby questions as they head back upstairs.

"Stop Cindy before she hurts anyone else." she explains, changing into her Stargirl outfit.

"My suits not done, just wait..." she tries to reason with her sister.

"If I wait you could die." Courtney tells her as she puts on the mask.

"Court, come on. Think about it. Last time you fought her alone you ended up in the hospital. Do you think going alone again would be smart." Shleby tries again.

"I don't care. I need to stop her." Courtney says opening her window and flying out of it.

"Courtney!"
