26. Nevermore

Complete story — includes the ending

The Outsiders, the Team, and Nightwing's group all enter Markovia to stop Delamb, knowing that the Light plans on the Outsiders botching the mission to push registering and controlling all heroes and outlawing Leaguers who do not comply. Deathstroke informs Tara she must publicly kill Beast Boy. Brion is able to battle and capture DeLamb on live television. Tara gets ready for the kill, but Artemis is able to talk her down: stating the heroes always knew she was working for Deathstroke, but kept quiet so she could decide for herself. She accepts and turns herself in for her crimes. DeLamb proclaims he will never stop trying to get the throne, so Brion executes him. While Violet and Tara are horrified, and the heroes are shocked and disgusted that he crossed the line, Markovian ambassador Zviad Baazovi manipulates Brion into overthrowing his twin brother, becoming king, and kicking the heroes out of Markovia. Black Lightning, Oracle, and Cyborg trace Tara's communicator to expose Lex Luthor as a meta-trafficker and, with Superman and Superboy backing them up, they successfully get Luthor removed from the United Nations. Tara is given a mitigated sentence as long as she does good with the Outsiders, which Superboy and Forager also join. Those behind the Anti-Light step down as leaders of the League and the Team, realizing the error of keeping secrets and manipulations for their misguided attempt on opposing the Light; with all the hero teams reuniting under Black Lightning as their leader and public opinion back on their side. The Light is pleased, with Baazovi being one of them, and using his secret meta-psychic ability to influence Brion as he works with Helga Jace and Infinity Inc. They also keep an eye on Halo as a tool for future plans; Vandal Savage has reconfirmed his partnership with Darkseid. As the heroes celebrate at a cafe, a server wearing a Legion flight ring is seen. In a post-credits scene, Lobo kills a miniature clone of himself, that morphed from the finger he lost during his earlier battle with the heroes.
