Garth Bernstein is a student at Metropolis High School. On the first day of school, Bernstein sat with Karen Beecher at lunch. During the food fight, he tried to crawl to safety and slid around. During Homecoming, Garth Bernstein was doing his duties as towel boy in the boy's locker room and was unaware of the mayhem being wrought by Star Sapphire outside. He noticed Jessica Cruz and Hal Jordan. Cruz demanded his clothes and made Jordan wear it while he wore a towel. Bernstein didn't mind and claimed they weren't the first to borrow his style. Cruz instructed Jordan to slouch a little, shorten his neck, and stick out his gut. She declared him unattractive then shoved him outside. Bernstein realized why they borrowed his look. Jordan pretended to be a geek to get Star Sapphire to stop loving him and power down. Jordan called out to Bernstein and asked him for something dumb he liked. Bernstein mentioned the Star Battles comic books but didn't find them dumb.
Star Sapphire was apalled and powered down. Star Sapphire found him so sad, pathetic and gross that no one would ever love him, except her. She proclaimed she loved him forever and could see the beauty behind the geek then declared he would be hers once she got rid of Cruz. Bernstein ran away. Cruz vehemently denied they were dating. She became too powerful and Cruz couldn't dissipate her constructs. She shattered the beam with two giant hands then grabbed Sapphire. Jordan and Bernstein called on Cruz to hit her but she resisted and taught Sapphire to love herself first then she would find the love she needed. Garth Bernstein hesitated to dissect a starfish in science class. Leslie Willis sent a current, possessed it, and it jumped on Bernstein's face. She put it up on her Metropovids channel as #RiseOfStarro. For a science fair on a Wednesday, Bernstein did a "Fish Olympics" presentation. He essentially had the fish in a tank go through an obstacle course. The next day, he was in the school marching bad playing his tuba.
Berstein got sick and couldn't participate in the school's performance of "Romeo and Juliet." Oliver Queen refused to play Romeo. Bernstein, the understudy, was supposed to replace him but he was absent. The under-understudy, Steve Trevor took his place in turn. Knowing it would distract Diana Prince and ruin the play, Zee Zatara, the director, contemplated sending Bernstein into the 27th dimension.
Garth Bernstein bought a goldfish from a local pet shop with a plan to give it to Karen Beecher as a gift for her birthday. He tripped after exiting and Goldberg was launched in the air. He tried using hydrokinesis to turn the bowl water into a hand but Goldberg slipped out and bouncing along an awning. He landed in a salad at Matt's Vegan Cafe. The woman told the server she ordered chicken. Bernstein ran past and grabbed him. He tried to find a new container, grabbing a snow cone off a person but it was too cold then a coffee cup but it was too hot. Goldberg hopped down through a grate into the sewers. Bernstein raised the water up through manholes. After he saw Goldberg, he hopped on one of the columns of water then caught Goldberg in the emptied coffee cup. A big rig truck drove through the water and they went flying. He landed on the Metropolis High hamster mascot while Goldberg landed in the water cooler.
Celebrating early, two Gotham players carried the cooler off and drenched their coach. Bernstein chased after Goldberg into the field, got handed the ball, dodged the other team, and scored a touchdown for Metropolis High. The announcer declared it was a miracle. With no other choice, he stored Goldberg in his mouth. As he waiting for the light to cross, he was annoyed to see a truck delivering drinks, a Metropolis Fire Department truck, a flatbed with a jacuzzi, a big aquarium tank, and a big water jug. He made it to the cafeteria and spotted Beecher eating and reading. He spit Goldberg into her glass of water. She was happy he remembered her birthday and hugged him. The worker took her tray away with Goldberg still in the cup. Bernstein ran after him and caused a big crash. On a Taco Tuesday, Bernstein was stuffed inside a locker. Giganta found him while she searched for Karen Beecher. He asked for her help. She paused but closed the locker door on him.
Garth Bernstein found an empty seat in the cafeteria but the boy ignored him. He asked him if he read the latest issue of Star Battle. Harley Quinn used Wonder Woman's stolen Lasso of Truth on Bernstein. He admitted he was Aqualad. The boy he ate with didn't react and left the table. Bernstein was having issues on picture day. Jessica Cruz rolled face in a trash bin and bumped him off of the stool as he posed for another attempt. Cruz stood up just in time holding the bottle and took the photograph instead. Her photo was mistakenly used as Bernstein's in the yearbook. Bernstein flushed and walked out a stall in a white towel in the men's locker room. He gasped at the sight of Zee Zatara, who was drenched in water and scary looking. Zatara sternly requested the room. Bernstein scurried outside. Students in the hail ran for it as Doris Zeul's stomach growls grew closer and closer. Garth Bernstein didn't heed the other students and was grabbed by Zeul. She held him upside down and shook his spare change out then stuffed him in his locker. He kept droning on and told her to enjoy her lunch.
