Hawkgirl (Kendra Saunders); Hawkman (Carter Hall); Nightwing (Dick Grayson);
Red Tornado; Vixen
PLOT:
Superman scans out in space where the pocket solar system that appeared over Metropolis was. He detects the same energy residue that appeared over Gotham and Washington also. Returning to the Hall of Justice, they confirm that it is similar to creation energies and decide to check on the Cosmic Egg where Krona is still trapped.
Batman and Vixen are going through the JLA database to figure out who the wolf-creature that attacked Wonder Woman was. Batman can't get over the feeling that he's seen it somewhere before. Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl try to figure out what the symbol means on Diana's back. It turns out that the symbol has changed a second time. Hawkgirl seems to think that they look Egyptian.
Just then, Hawkman and Gangbuster arrive (via teleporter). Gangbuster tells them about Tarot being kidnapped by "forces beyond any simple street gang" and Hawkman mentions all the museum artifacts being stolen around the world. It seems they are being taken by Gotham-based criminals (which ticks off Batman).
Suddenly Batman interrupts Hawkman and places an emergency call to Nightwing. Nightwing tells him that just last week the Calendar Man tried robbing the Cloisters Museum and just now Mr. Freeze took some evidence that were in police custody, a jeweled sword, a mystical chalice and three amulets. Batman tells him to call Robin, Oracle, the Titans and the Outsiders. He wants to know who is behind all of this. Then Batman tells Hawkman to keep working with Gangbuster. He says Oracle will contact him and he will get any assistance he needs from the League or Titans.
Hawkman is not happy with being ordered around by Batman and starts to object. Vixen asks what there's such a priority to find Tarot. Wonder Woman tells her that Batman has just recognized the symbols as she has. Hawkman notices them and says they are ancient Egyptian tarot symbols: Strength, the High Priestess and the World. The Trinity connection is there again.
On Krechin, the largest moon of Itatoq, Despero ponders how to use the power from his just won battle. Morgaine and Enigma appear and Enigma says Despero can become a Lord of Creation if he chooses.
