He contacts the Justice Society of America, who are in the middle of a recruitment drive. Upon joining the Justice Society, Jennifer immediately forms a bond with fellow teen heroines Stargirl and Cyclone.

She also attracts the romantic interests of Jakeem Thunder , another younger member of the team.
