Complications

May 27: Nightwing arrives on the War World to inquire about the Team's disappearance, but Blue Beetle covers his tracks by insisting that a boom tube opened which sucked in everyone except for himself. Meanwhile, Artemis, M'gann and Aqualad (who has been cured but is playing possum) are stalling for time to try to figure out how to save M'gann's life. They formulate a plan after Black Manta gives M'gann the ultimatum that she has 24 hours left to finish her task, but before they can get very far, Kaldur and M'gann are attacked by Cheshire, who has infiltrated the sub with Sportsmaster. While the latter battles Black Manta, Aqualad tells Cheshire that Artemis is alive, but Jade (Cheshire) does not accept the truth until Artemis disables Miss Martian's inhibitor collar so that a full account of what has happened can be disclosed on the psychic plane. Sportsmaster is eventually convinced as well when Tigress demonstrates a move he taught her. The five concoct a plan for Kaldur and Artemis to remain undercover while the others make their escape, and they manage it successfully.

May 28: In Gotham City, Jade decides to inform Paula Crock that Artemis is alive. Back on the submarine, Black Manta shares the news that his son is well again with Vandal Savage and the Reach Ambassador. Meanwhile, Nightwing looks on in fury as the Ambassador publicly praises Blue Beetle as Earth's savior. Nightwing's detective work, in finding Robin's scratched birdarang, has led him to discover that Jaime turned on the Team.

As team rivalry and personal conflicts arise, the team must band together to fight the real threat that faces Earth.
