February 11

I fell asleep right after dinner yesterday. Where was I? Oh, right...

So I was worrying that Mirror Master was going to pull out my wings at the warehouse, since Wally, Batman, and Greg came to rescue me. Tora then came along and saved the day by shooting a wave of ice at Mirror Master. He let go of my wing from the blow, and Wally zoomed in and fought him. I don't quiet know what happened after that... I must have blacked out again. I was feeling pretty starved and dehydrated.

I woke up in the emergency wing on the bed, and there I saw Wally at my bedside. Tora and Greg came in to see if I was okay, and everyone explained the situation. While I was away, J'onn took care of my absences at work and at home. Mirror Master, Captain Cold, and Captain Boomerang were arrested by the police and are being dealt with this very moment. I'm so relieved that Wally's okay... If he really did die, then... would I be the one to blame? No... I mustn't think on this anymore. He's okay, and that's what counts. I'm just so happy to see him.

Superman and Diana came into the room. They were both glad that I was okay. Superman then asked me if I wanted to leave the League. From what I've been through and the injuries I got, he thought that I would be out of commission and I would want a permanent break. I told him that I needed sometime to think about it. Wally was looking worried. I would probably have to have my answer ready by the end of tomorrow. It's only respectful and polite if I gave them my answer by then. I only have four hours to think about it. Better get cracking...

Later

It's done... I did it. After I told them I was ready, I was told to go to the conference room, and there I saw all of the Original Members. Wally was among them too.

After Superman said what he had to say, I began to speak: "Before I was Painted Lady, I thought that everyone in this world was out for themselves and only wanted personal gain. It left me bitter and cynical. But by being with the Justice League, I was proved wrong. People do have patriotic hearts deep down inside. There are good people in this world. To figure out the good and the bad, you just have to be careful and try to find friends that are close to you. To sum it all up... I'll be on leave until I'm fully recovered. So I guess I'm staying here for good."

Wally smiled at me. I guess he's happy with my response. All of the Original Founders seemed touched by it too.

I went back to my bed in the emergency wing, and there I saw Wally. I told him I was sorry, since I might not have my Valentine's Day gift for him in time. I was injured, so I couldn't go anywhere. Guess what he said?

"No need to worry... You're excused."
