Mera :: What Am I Doing Here?

Not long ago we saw the cover of Justice League of America #88 which included guest star Mera. Well, back then it was mentioned that she did not play a significant role in the story, but today I just want to show how non-significant it was.

In panel number one Mera is acknowledged by Green Lantern as she and Aquaman arrive to the island where the story starts. In panel number two she and GL look very concerned.

In panel number three, she is told by Aquaman to go back to Atlantis and ensure that everything is in order in the underwater city.

In panel number four, for some reason she reconvenes with the rest of the League members after the threat has passed, and finally in panel number five she and her husband dive into the ocean after the meeting is adjourned. She did not say one word, and her most significant action was looking concerned in panel two. What was the point of having her in this story?
