- Codename: Patriot Part 2 · 22 pages
Ral-Dar is fleeing to Earth, followed closely by Superman and Supergirl. General Lane sends planes to attack, and Ral-Dar destroys them, leaving the others (plus Mon-El) to save the pilots while he escapes. Mon-El takes Superman and Supergirl to Science Police headquarters to discuss the situation with the Guardian. Lois also bursts in on the meeting, and has a quick (private) reunion with Superman, informing him that Chris is back. Ral-Dar has escaped to the Project, where he is known as Patriot. Nightwing and Flamebird discuss the situation, and Flamebird reveals jealousy over an autograph-seeker leaving a note with her phone numbers tucked in Nightwing's armor. Nightwing responds by kissing her, and she returns the kiss, but they decide to resume their search for Nadira and Az-Rel. But those two find them, and the chase is on. They are led into the tunnels of Metropolis, where they are suddenly weakened. Mirabi appears, and unworks her illusion on Metallo and Reactron, who were disguised as Nadira and Az-Rel.
- Chapter Two · Captain Atom · 8 pages
Captain Atom has collapsed, but recovers in time to stop a soldier from killing him. He then acts as if he has just awakened, and looks around, seeing the destruction he has caused. He then goes to the castle he was attacking, forces his way in, and talks with the king to see if he can figure out what's going on. At first he can't even remember his name, nor what he is doing there; but then remembers he is Captain Atom.
Publisher’s description
Nightwing and Flamebird are hot on the trail of the psycho sleeper agents Nadira and Az-Rel when the heroes run into another deadly duo – Reactron and Metallo! What do these two want and how does it tie in with General Lane's plans? Meanwhile, Superman and Supergirl arrive on Earth searching for the shooter – but will their actions here cause more harm than good? Captain Atom's memory is falling apart right in the heat of battle – can he keep it together without annihilating an entire town? Luckily a deadly new player is about to take that choice out of his hands – permanently!
