She is given an upbeat and optimistic interior monologue that tries to cover her current state of being stuck in phase and being away from her home planet.

With the cancellation of two of their titles, 100% of African-American DC writers, Eric Wallace and Marc Bernardin* of Mister Terrific and Static Shock, respectively, were laid off. 100 percent.
