Betty was walking in the hall of her school when Noah came running up to her.
"Look what I got," he said as he waved a comic book in Betty's face.
"You got a new comic," said Betty, who didn't seem quite excited.
"Not just any comic," said Noah, "It's issue 100 of Batman."
When Noah stopped waving the comic around, Betty could see Batman on the cover.
"It's a great comic," said Noah, "In it, Batman stops the Joker from covering all of Gotham with a deadly laughing gas. I just finished reading it."
"Really?" asked Betty, "If you're done, could I borrow it?"
Noah kind of knew Betty would say that because he knew that she was a bigger Batman fan than he was.
"Well okay," said Noah, "Just try not to wreck it please? I want to keep this forever."
"I promise," said Betty, as Noah handed her the comic.
Later that day, Betty was lying on the couch in her living room, reading the comic.
"Wow, Noah was right," she said, "This comic is amazing."
Just then, Betty's bracelet beeped.
"Perfect timing," Betty said in a sarcastic tone and she pressed a button on her bracelet and Degill's hologram appeared.
"Atomic Betty, the galaxy needs you," he said, "I'm afraid the Cosmic Jester has escaped from jail."
"Not him again," said Betty.
Betty remembered the Cosmic Jester pretty well. He was really a former comedian named Daniel Calloway who was kicked out of every comedy club on the planet Celebra because he kept telling old jokes. He tried to get revenge by dropping a missile filled with laughing gas on the planet, but Betty stopped him time.
"I'm afraid so," said Degill, "He's back committing crimes on Celebra. This time he's attacking huge celebrity parties. You must stop him."
"I'm on it Sir." said Betty, and she pressed a button on her bracelet and Degill disappeared.
Before Betty beamed herself to her ship, she noticed the comic in her hand. She really wanted to finish it.
"Guess I'll take this with me," she said to herself.
She rolled up the comic and stuck it in her back pocket and then beamed herself up.
