Antonia was in the library getting ready for a study date with Gaby Gabrielli, when suddenly Wonder Girl crashed through a window. Wonder Girl helped Antonia find her glasses on the floor and dashed back into battle. Antonia eagerly ran to the window and started to live-stream the event on Eyespasm.

After Aquaman and a group of meta-teens neutralized every Reach ship laying waste to the town, Antonia was met by Tommi Tompkins and Gaby, who had also been streaming the event. The girls were elated for having covered the whole ordeal first hand.

Soon enough, the Reach warship appeared and everyone ran for cover. Antonia and her friends continued live-streaming while the heroes landed the warship in a nearby park lake.[2]
