Kidnapped
The Justice League learns
that Chloe has been abducted by Lana’s followers, a group of vigilantes known
as the Hand of Vengeance. Lana had failed to convince Chloe of her plan to save
humanity by eliminating dangerous Kryptonians and meteor
freaks, but making exceptions for those who were the victims of human
experimentation. Lana convinces Kevin Grady to erase some of Chloe’s memories
so that she will work with them. Lana tells Kevin that it is for a greater
good.
In the battle that ensues
between the Justice League and the Hand of Vengeance Clark and Kyle Tippet get
a first hand look of the “new” Chloe.
Her face looks blank as if she is in a trance. They call out to her but
instead of running to them she is frightened by them. Kyle is blocked from rescuing
Chloe by Byron Moore. There is an
uncomfortable confrontation between Clark and Kevin Grady. Clark and Kevin had
once been friends. Now, fighting on different sides, Kevin starts to doubt
Lana’s reasoning.
Chloe and Bart Allen are
shocked by an attack on Jordan Cross, the Justice League’s leader.
