Things were often busy on
Earth-2.
Very,
very busy.
So busy, in fact, that answering distress calls from fellow
Justice Society members?
Waaay down on the priority list.
The
Star-Spangled Kid has been captured--
Huntress and
Wildcat escape, but they don't stand a chance against that kind of power. So...
But, surprise, surprise, the calvary
doesn't come!
Good question...
OK, probably a good excuse,
Kara...
Away from their Hawk-Wings? Shouldn't they carry the alert signal, oh, I don't know, in a pocket? A wallet? A watch? Somewhere they can actually hear it?
You're excused, this time,
Charles...
Oh, come on,
Clark---flying saucers are an everyday occurrence in
Metropolis!! This is an
emergency!!
OK, how about some of the true old guard?
Empty closets? Where are
Jay and
Alan?
Dudes--
CARRY. YOUR. EMERGENCY. SIGNALS. ON. YOUR. PERSON.
One last try...
Man,
Dr. Fate just straight out ignored you.
The moral: if you get into trouble on Earth-2, you're on your own...
