He tells her he is drawn to catastrophic events, and reveals he was brought back from death by Dark Angel to generate the illusion of what could happen with the phantoms on Earth. He tells her that she will be key to future events, including an upcoming great disaster. He then leaves her with hope. She finally returns to Earth, and discusses things with each of her friends: Boomer, Grace, Cassie, Power Girl, even Streaky, and Sarah. She even gets flowers from Power Boy, but still despises him. She finally gets the courage to have a talk with Clark.
