Brion, Tara, Violet, and Forager (along with Beast Boy and led by Artemis) are assigned their first Team mission; to investigate the rumors concerning a Russian government metahuman program which, as they soon discover, aims to use military volunteers to create an equivalent to the Justice League called the Rocket Red Brigade. While leaving, the heroes discover Monsieur Mallah, Captain Boomerang, and Black Manta about to attack the Russian base. They intercept the attack and engage the three criminals. The commotion causes two Rocket Reds to join the fight. After the criminals are defeated, Artemis convinces the Russians to let her team leave and take the villains back to Belle Reve. There, it is revealed that the three supervillains were part of a newly-created government team called Task Force X, run by Amanda Waller. Meanwhile, in Taos, New Mexico, the metahumans at the MHYC undergo orientation and their first session on learning to control their powers. One of them, Wendy Jones, takes the name Windfall and confidently starts using her powers, but is unable to control them. After Ed Dorado Jr. teleports her outside, she opts to wear a collar that inhibits her powers.
