Synopsis:

The Teen Titans and the Outsiders are under attack from Brainiac, Brainiac 8, Lex Luthor and Superboy, who is under Luthor's control. Thier firsdt victory comes when Superboy manages to break Luthor's control, though he is soon weakened by kryptonite contained within Luhtor's battle suit. Starfire crashes Brainiac's ship, and eventually Indigo is able to force her consciousness back into control of her body. She knows that Brainiac 8 will not stop until the heroes are dead, so she asks Shift to transform her into flesh and blood - since he cannot give her life, this will kill both Indigo and Brainiac 8. Shift reluctantly does so, and the battle is technically won. However, Nightwing leaves the Outsiders, and elsewhere, Donna Troy sees events and knows it is time for her return.
