9. Home Fires

Complete story — includes the ending

Nightwing's team comes under attack when Lobo arrives on Earth under a contract to kill Forager. The team rushes to his defense, but despite all of their best efforts, the bounty hunter appears to succeed and pound Forager to death. However, after he departs, Forager reveals what Lobo destroyed was his exoskeleton, having shed it to fool the bounty hunter. Meanwhile, in Central City, Iris West hosts a play date for all the children of all the heroes who have families, accompanied by their parents. Unbeknownst to her, Ocean Master has leased the house across the street to observe them, with a plan of eliminating the next generation of heroes out of revenge, but he is stopped and killed by Lady Shiva: as the Light's enforcer, she did this because the actions of his plan are what the Light refer to as a 'Nuclear Option'. Enacting it would result in unforeseen consequences, therefore they are currently unwilling to go forward with it. In the end, the Light is revealed to have also been behind Lobo's attack on Forager to confirm that Nightwing has assembled a new covert team of heroes, which the villains see as a potential threat to their operations. However, Granny Goodness informs them that Apokolips has a plan in place to deal with them.
