Synopsis:

Young Justice are at the mercy of Granny Goodness and the Female Furies, but refuse to break. When Empress displays a hitherto-unseen teleportation ability, she is soon able to free the others. Secret, meanwhile, is being tempted by Darkseid, who claims she has a dark side he can recognise and encourage. As she rejoins the other members of Young Justice, havinf rejected Darkseid's offer, the heroes find themselves surrounded, but suddenly rescued by an army of L'il Lobos. An escape craft also miraculously appears, and they gratefully scramble aboard.
