“Codename: Patriot Part 2”

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.
