Superman and Terry investigate the tank's control panel, finding it has been sabotaged. She takes Mareena from him and berates Batman for acting without the others and leaves with Warkhawk. Warhawk asks why didn't he call them through the intercoms Terry can only admit that he didn't think of it while Barda cuts him off. While alive, Mareena has been injured, and Barda demands Batman to explain "what he did", but Marneea defends him revealing the tank malfunctioned. Terry's initial attempts to break open the door fail, he rushes to the training room, seizes Barda's mega-rod from her hand, then runs back and blasts the door open, flooding the antechamber with water and rescuing Mareena. Terry discovers the tank to be malfunctioning as it's beginning to overheat, and the door refuses to respond to the controls. Having looked away during the conversation, Batman turns back and sees that the camera focused on Mareena has gone blank, rushes down, and sees her in trouble. However, having been betrayed before himself, Bruce tells Terry to continue to work as the answers are there somewhere. Terry contacts Bruce, revealing he can't imagine how any of them could be traitors. Once Mareena leaves, Terry watches her entering the tank through security cameras, along with the rest of the League in other parts of the tower: Big Barda and Warhawk are practicing in a training room, while Kai-Ro meditates in a quiet garden sanctuary. He politely declines, as he has a lot of JLU homework to catch up on. Mareena (Aquagirl) appears and apologizes for her initial coolness, and invites Batman to join her on her training swim. Terry is reluctant to suspect Earth's greatest heroes, but begins reviewing the files of each League member. Superman explains to Terry that Micron was taken down by a method that only an insider would know how to use. Superman reveals Micron's current state, as he is recuperating in a stasis tank. In private, however, Superman confides to Terry that he suspects one of the League members of trying to sabotage and kill the others. Superman insists that his decision is final, and his teammates walk out, leaving Terry to think this was a bad idea. Terry receives a more civil but no less suspicious reception from Kai-Ro and Aquagirl. Terry's arrival is immediately greeted with hostility from a surprised Big Barda and Warhawk, as Superman decided to invite him without first consulting his teammates. Justice League Unlimited displays their discontent with a new Batman's recruitment. Terry is taken aback, but accepts Superman's invitation to visit the Watchtower. He asks Bruce to approve of it as Terry's mentor, but Bruce feels that it's not up to him, and the two legendary heroes silently await Terry's decision. Bruce ponders, due to Micron's injuries, if Terry is supposed to be a replacement, but Superman says that Terry has earned a spot. Superman responds that he wants to offer Terry membership in the JLU. Bruce requests that they cut through the small talk and asks Superman the reason he's visiting Gotham. The two return to the Batcave, where Superman pauses to look at Bruce's more-familiar Batsuit in the display case before greeting his old friend since their last adventure. However, the 'civilian' spins at superhuman speed, splattering Inque in all directions, and revealing himself to be Superman - a bit older, a bit grayer, but still as strong and active as ever. In Gotham City, Batman is chasing down Inque, who catches sight of a nearby civilian, and wraps herself around him to hold him hostage. In the ensuing crash, Micron is badly wounded. However, as soon as Micron tries to exit the train, a force field pops over the door, making it impossible for him to escape. Micron boards the train and manages to uncouple the passenger cars and evacuate the engineer to safety. In Metropolis, a commuter monorail loses control and starts speeding down the wrong track, on a collision course with another.
