Comment: Pete Ross is president, so this story takes place after Batman/Superman #1-6 and before Superman Secret Files 2004.

Synopsis:

While Captain Marvel Jr. and Grace battle Sabbac, the rest of the Outsiders, with help from Black Lightning, attempt to close the portal that Sabbac's minions are opening. As demonic warriors begin to come through, their forces are stretched, but they are eventually able to subdue them and seal the portal. Once the portal is sealed, Sabbac takes off, too fast for Captain Marvel Jr. to pursue him.

In the aftermath of the fight, Thunder tells her father how inspiring it was to fight alongside him, and later, acting president Pete Ross asks for his resignation from the post of Secretary of Education. After having killed the man who murdered his niece and having been spotted as a hero once more, Ross feels that Jefferson Pierce, Black Lightning, is a liability.
