Gen 13 #5
In "Best of a Bad Lot Part Five: Grounded," Gail Simone and Talent Caldwell deliver a pivotal moment as Freefall (Roxanne Spaulding) confronts the truth about her origins—her so-called "father," Hogan, reveals he funded the creation of both Gen 11 and Gen 13, haunted by the consequences. With Hogan’s teleporter in hand, the team returns to Tabula Rasa only to learn that Grunge has vanished, leaving them stranded and uncertain. The cover by Talent Caldwell and Matt Banning captures the tension perfectly.

Freefall's [Roxanne Spaulding] "father" (Hogan) tells her that he is responsible for the creation of Gen 11 (what Cross calls the "Heavenly Choir") and Gen 13. He helped finance their creation but felt guilty after they were created. It seems Hogan has a teleporter and he let Gen 13 use it to get back to Tabula Rasa. When Gen 13 arrives, the guards tell them Grunge is gone.
