(Four weeks later. Evening. JLA headquarters. Helena was standing looking up at the stars from the balcony. Henry and Bruce enter.)

Helena: What do you want Bruce?

Bruce: I need an answer Helena

Helena: You know my answer

Bruce: Do you want Bette and the others to go on suffering when there is hope

Helena: I will not do it

Henry: Helena the world has been plunged back into darkness, the League is no longer giving hope to those who lost it

Helena: The League is disbanded, I did it this morning

(Helena turns to face the two men who had intruded on her)

Helena: There hasn’t been a League since Tina died, they are unable to look past their grieve and in true I don’t blame them. One of their our murdered her and they feel they didn’t do enough to prevent Tina’s death and Kate’s decision; the world is in darkness because the world’s heroes are and they always will be

Henry: It doesn’t have to be that way

Bruce: We have the facilitates we can do it

Helena: No

Henry: Then you condemn the world to its doom; we will destroy ourselves if we don’t help bring hope back to the world

Bruce: Helena please allow that light to shine once again

(Helena sighs heavily as she turns back to the city view. What had she to lose?)

Helena: Very well but keep it quiet

Bruce: Oh don’t worry we will

(Bruce and Henry exit. Helena looks up to the moon and sighs)

Helena: Christ what have I done?

(Cut to Daily Planet. Bette was sitting in her office typing up a story. Her life now consisted of work, work and more work. She didn’t like going home to an empty apartment and made pains to avoid doing so. Knock at the door)

Bette: Come in

(The door opens and Shane enters followed by Alice and Dana, who had recently returned from London. Shane closes the door just as Dana enters)

Bette: What can I do for you all?

Alice: For starters you can stop working

Shane: Come with us to HIT

Dana: And have a good time

(Bette sighs and looks up from her PC)
