I might need to watch everything again to be sure, but before Lobo’s attack, I don’t think she knew that Nightwing (and company) was training them to be a team, because of how they kept pushing her away. She didn’t know what Nightwing was planning to do with them (heck, nobody knew what to do with them at first). The Light knew that the Outsiders were still with Nightwing because of her reports, but that was all they knew for certain; so they hired Lobo to confirm what they suspected. If I'm right, it's a good thing that they decided to keep it a secret that the six teams are still working in coordination with one another; otherwise Lightning might have/could tell Helga the truth of everything.
