Just so you guys know, Meta-Girl is a straight A student and fairly nerdy, on top of her superheroing day (night?) job.

In the third panel, shouldn’t “stake out” be one word, since it’s used as a noun and not a verb? (I guess I was a fairly nerdy straight B student when I was young.)
Actually, Meta-Girl probably is the only superhero who still has to balance work, school, and friends. The others have stopped having lives outside their costumes, since the Avengers and Justice League respectively have become so big and so professionalized that every superhero has a membership and all their relationships are “in the office”.
I’m pretty sure the “balance school, work, friends” line was a shout-out to the early spiderman. For quite a while there he was a free-lance photog, while taking classes, and trying to have some semblance of a social life.
Ah, the good ol’ days…
Wait, Peter Parker had friends?
I imagine it would be hard to balance. If you could be a superhero all day, why would you wanna go back to your civilian identity and problems? Hmmm…
