The day after the showdown with Doomsday, the Flash was zooming through Central City looking for any danger. Cisco Ramon alerted him of a robbery at Central City Bank and the Flash made his way there in the blink of an eye. The culprit turned out to be Captain Boomerang and a couple of other goons. "You already know how this is going to end, Harkness. So hand it over." Flash remarked in a joking manner. He even went ahead and outstretched his hand. "Oh, I'll hand it over to you alright." Captain Boomerang smugly replied and he threw a pair of boomerangs at Barry. Catching them at lightning-fast speeds, the Flash taunted Harkness with the boomerangs... until they started melting with acid. Barry cried out in agony as Boomerang ordered his goons to start driving out of there. Their getaway vehicle, however, got smashed by none other than Green Lantern with a vehicle construct. The two goons attempted to shoot Flash and Green Lantern to no avail. However, one bullet went right on course to hit a civilian in the head. The Flash quickly raced for it, trying to grab it with his pain-ridden hands. Thankfully, he caught up to and snatched it inches away from the woman's forehead. "Oh my god, thank you!" said the woman and the Flash nodded. The police soon arrived to deal with Boomerang and his rapscallions while Barry and Hal did a high-five on the way to S.T.A.R. Labs.
The two superheroes laugh on there way into the S.T.A.R. Labs building. Cisco said, "What up?" to Hal while they fist-bumped. "Well, yesterday I wanted to see if Barry and I could hangout. But I figured you were already cuddling with Iris." Hal remarked. "What?" Barry questioned. Hal squinted his eyes and said, "You know exactly what I mean." and Barry slightly blushed. "OKAY! Uhh, Cisco can I uh talk to you for a second?" Barry said out of desperation. The two walked out of the room and Barry told Cisco, "I have a problem or, we have a problem."
"What's the issue? Is it with that cuddling thing?" Cisco asked.
"It's much bigger than that. Like Justice League, big." Cisco put his two arms behind his head and let out a big sigh. "Barry, if you're asking me to be Vibe for the Justice Leag..."
"It isn't that. It's... you know what, I'll show you. Do you know where Caitlyn is?"
"Right here." Caitlyn Snow answered as she suddenly appeared which slightly frightened Cisco.
Barry showed Cisco and Caitlyn a visual presentation detailing the effects the Belt of Power can have on an individual. It also highlighted the antithesis of it, the Orb of Depowerment. After the presentation ended, Cisco said, "You guys lost this Orb of Depowerment, didn't you?" Hal answered, "Yes, unfortunately." Barry then said, "We need your help in finding another way to deactivate the Belt." Caitlyn suggested, "Well, the Belt of Power seems to have a very strong neural link to the brain. I mean, the fact that it could alter brain chemistry to the point of nigh-insanity just like that is, remarkable." Cisco added, "It also looks like it densifies the molecules of the individual which would multiply both their durability and..."
"Raw strength." Barry finished.
"Caitlyn and I could work out the schematics on crafting a makeshift Orb, but we can't guarantee this will work." Cisco said. "It's alright just do your best." Barry assured. With all of that said and done, Barry and Hal got a bite to eat at Big Belly Burger.
That night, Diana had another vision in her sleep. She witnessed several League members dying at the hands of a shadowy figure with a stoic cape. The figure did not resemble Lex Luthor, whatsoever. She quickly woke up from the dream turned nightmare and decided to warn her fellow Leaguers about the vision in their next meetup. There is something or someone else that is part of this larger plot that they have not accounted for yet.
