History

Supertown August 26, 20:20 UTC

After the Javelin set down in Supertown, Lightray introduced himself, Highfather, Highmother and Orion to Rocket, Flash and Forager. Highfather noted that Forager was the first Bug to be welcomed to Supertown. The Leaguers were then taken to their quarters to await the arrival of the Green Lantern's representatives for talks the next day. En route, Motherbox alerted Orion to a theft in the secure warehouse. Rocket volunteered to join Orion, who reluctantly agreed. They boom tubed to the warehouse but were unable to apprehend the thief.

The Leaguers and the New Gods looked at security footage of the thief, who had taken a Ruction Cell, a dangerous piece of obsolete tech. Forager determined she was a female of the Mountain Hive.

When the Cell was retrieved, Highfather had Metron store it in his Inter-Dimensional Vault.
