Synopsis for "Seeing Red"
Even as the Justice League leaves the meeting of Earth's super-heroes at the Green Lantern Citadel, one of its members, Rocket Red #7, reveals himself as a Manhunter and asks his human colleagues to join them. Trapping Batman, Black Canary, Blue Beetle, and Mr. Miracle inside their ship, the renegade hero sends it hurtling toward a Bialyan oil refinery. In New York City, Oberon tracks their flight pattern and notices that they are veering off course, so he places a call and Captain Atom heads out to help them.
Booster Gold, Guy Gardner, and the Martian Manhunter, flying outside the ship, are powerless to save their teammates, but a squad of Rocket Reds summoned by Oberon arrives in time to prevent the crash. The Manhunter Rocket Red is destroyed when he rises from the rubble with a drawn weapon, only to be stymied by Booster Gold's force-field. The League briefly clashes with Rumaan Harjavti but leave without further incident.
At the same time, in New York City, Maxwell Lord is in his office talking through a computer to an unknown voice. He is attacked by a Manhunter posing as his secretary, who is in turn attacked and destroyed by Lord's computer.

Synopsis for "Brief Encounter"
In the tiny terrorist nation of Bialya, its ruler, Colonel Rumaan Harjavti, meets with Jack O'Lantern, formerly of the Global Guardians, to discuss the formation of a new super-team which would act as an alternative to the newly-formed JLI.
