While some members of the Justice League and the Justice Society interact in war games and strategy practice, Batman and Black Lightning delve more into the mystery of Karate Kid, only to learn that Starman -- a new recruit of the JSA -- is also a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes and that there are five more members lost in the present. So Black Canary and Power Girl break up the combined membership of the JLA and JSA into smaller teams to find the missing Legionnaires.

The team finds Triplicate Girl, and just as everyone else arrives, the headquarters comes to life as Computo and kills one of Triplicate Girl's bodies. Superman realizes he has seen this before and that they are all fighting an illusion. But the Legionnaires have used this distraction to head off to complete their mission.
