The Light sent a crew of League of Shadows operatives to Bwunda to stage an attack on Secretary General Luthor and President M'Barra, posing as the Bwundan Independence Front. Lia's job was to take out one of the true targets, Ambassador Troia, away from the cameras. Though she took out the Themysciran delegate, they had been expecting an attack. The Team and the Outsiders were concealed in the room, and Miss Martian easily overpowered her and removed her control chip.

Once the commotion had been stopped, Miss Martian took Lia with them on the Bio-Ship, where she could recuperate from the stress caused by the control chip. She consented to further help.[2]

Upon Tigress's request, Looker attempted to read the minds of Cassandra Savage and Onyx Adams, two League of Shadows members who were claiming to have defected, all the while accusing the other of being a double agent. She concluded that both seemed sincere and wondered whether both were telling the truth to the best of their knowledge. Orphan informed her and Tigress that Shadows were trained to thwart psychic readings, so Looker asked if there was someone else they could call, as her telepathic abilities were not up to par.[4]
