Supergirl earns her pay (she does get paid, right?) when she has to deal with multiple emergencies in one day!
For the nth time this issue starts with Supergirl using her powers to help out a fellow orphan. She should consider if it’s worth possibly exposing her existence in order to help a kid get adopted. It’s hard to be mad at her, although I’m sure Superman would not be so generous with his compassion, since her heart is in the right place. And look how well she conceals herself behind that tree on a public golf course! I’m sure there’s no chance someone will spot her. Kara’s day starts getting really busy when Krypto is captured by a remotely-controlled dog catcher space ship.
Right after saving her super-mutt’s hide she get a message from Lori Lemaris via telepathy. The aptly-named villain Malo is causing trouble for the citizens of Atlantis and with Superman on a deep-space mission (for the nth time) Lori calls on Supergirl for help. After dealing with Malo Supergirl saves the lives of Batman and Robin when they are caught in a cave-in.
Kara is then called to the Fortress of Solitude by Superman. Kara is sweating bullets because Superman was using his grumpy voice. In a twist that only those of us who have read a comic or two in our lives could have seen coming it turns out that Superman was playing a prank on Supergirl. You see, Supergirl was so busy substituting for her missing cousin that she forgot it was her birthday. Superman decided to test his cousin’s progress with a few ‘problems’ she could solve. It takes a super-demented mind to think this was a great way of spending your birthday, especially for a teen girl. That better be the best birthday cake EVER to make up for this shit.
