Eminent Threat.Tigress and Black Lightning head to the hospital to rescue Superboy, with some assistance from the girl Tigress saved, nicknamed "Halo". Dick discovers that Dr. Jace activated Brion's meta-gene to oppose Bedlam's leader, Baron DeLamb. While the Baron is able to kidnap the trafficked children, Dick's team is able to save Dr. Jace and Brion, who starts experiencing his geo-thermokinetic powers. DeLamb, having taken security footage from the lab, tries to frame Brion for his crimes; leading the latter to violently and publicly attack the former, revealing the Baron as a metahuman. Superboy manages to defeat Baron Bedlam as Gregor easily sees through his uncle's lies and has the traitor arrested. However, he's forced to banish Brion from Markovia because of what metahuman affairs have wrought on their family; though he asks Superboy to take care of him in his place. Black Lightning's powers return after witnessing a raging Plasmus kill Halo, but her passive healing factor allows her to survive. Black Lightning manages to free Plasmus from Bedlam's control, but a frightened bystander shoots and kills him. Superboy and Brion regroup with Nightwing and the others to plan their next move.
