Synopsis for "The Lightning Saga (Part III of V): Suicide"
The JLA and the JSA have already found four Legionnaires. Yet they don't know why the members of the Legion are here. Nonetheless, Dream Girl has prophesied that one of them will die.
Mister Terrific analyzes Wildfire's belt, but his tests find nothing unusual.
In the meantime, Batman tries to interrogate the Legionnaires stealthily. He admits aloud he can't believe they were randomly thrown across the globe.
The Flash (Jay Garrick), Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Vixen and Wildcat have tracked down another Ring to Gorilla City. There they find Timber Wolf. Once he hears the trigger word, Timber Wolf recovers his memories and desires to go back with his team.
Power Girl, Red Arrow, Hawkman and Hawkwoman have headed to Thanagar in order to find another missing Legionnaire. The two male heroes find the whole quest highly suspicious and are sure the JLA and the JSA will come to blows with the Legion before it's over.
The group track the Ring down. To her surprise, Dawnstar has already left. She felt she was needed back on Earth and entrusted her Ring to a Thanagarian friend. Dawnstar's friend hands over the Ring and the group sails back Earth.
In the League's Headquarters, Timber Wolf rejoins his teammates. Londo asks the 21st century heroes excuse them for a moment. Black Canary and Mr. Terrific intend to spy on them, but the Legion Flight Rings start to glow and scramble the base's comm systems.
Once they have ensured their privacy, Dream Girl explains about her vision. Timber Wolf picks up Wildfire's belt, removes two small cylinders and extends them, revealing they're lightning rods similar to those the Legionnaires used in the past to bring Lightning Lad back.[1]
Dawnstar arrives, and the seven Legionnaires reveal their mission. They've gone back in time to bring someone back... even though one of them will surely die.
