Secrets and lies reveal their true faces throughout this issue.

The elderly, dying Martian Keep senses this time is near and reveals the truth to J'onn J'onzz. The Martian Keep isn't just telling him of the past, she's telling him of his past. Ancient Earth scientists had learned that Perpetua's warriors were human/martian hybrids. When she was placed within the Source Wall, that secret went with both Earthlings and those from Mars. Yet, DNA was taken to recreate Perpetua's army. It came from a green Martian child J'onn J'onzz. Now, J'onn is the key to saving the multiverse from darkness. If he can't set it on the right path, Perpetua will be free to plunge it into oblivion. Hawkgirl and John Stewart must convince the Green Lantern Corps that Thanagar Prime has broken the law by keeping the Martian Keep captive in their vaults. Empress Shayara helps the Leaguers' case with her madness. This is due to losing her people to Despero. Kilowog wants to arrest her. Hawkgirl, who learns her wings are a map to get where the Justice League must go to stop Perpetua, convinces him otherwise. The Justice League and the Green Lantern Corp will need all the help they can get to prevent the multiverse's destruction. With that, Starman appears with Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman. He puts a part of Hawkgirl within Empress Shayara back where it belongs. She feels as if something missing from her had been returned to her, and it's just in time.

The Ultra-Monitor and Perpetua clash, and John Stewart has convinced Vandal Savage that his original plan for the Totality won't work.

There is just one problem. Kendra is consumed with revenge. She insists on attacking Apex Lex first. If she can't get to the proper point in which the Starmen need her. All that exists is doomed. With Hawkgirl being taken by Luthor, the Starmen and Justice Leagues seem to be unable to tip the scales in their favor. All seven pieces of the Totality are in the hands of the Legion of Doom.
