Robin and his friends race against the clock on a mission for a friend. But deep in the bowels of Cadmus Labs, terror lurks in the form of a Brainiac experiment gone horribly wrong!

ISSUE SUMMARY: Robin and his team face strange genetic variations on Brainiac as they attempt to secure a cure for Superboy's condition from Lex Luthor's abandoned lab beneath Metropolis. They can save only one vial of the cure, which is kept safe in Speedy's quiver, and Superboy's recover soon begins. Safe in the knowledge that his friend is safe, Robin tries to contact his family in Blüdhaven again, but is unsuccessful. His team-mates promise to accompany him back to the city, but before they leave, Robin contacts Lex Luthor, to tell him that Superboy (Luthor's 'son') is safe, and contacts the Veteran to give him an answer to his proposition.
