They are pursued by Apokoliptian warships, Mister Miracle asks Red Arrow II (Oliver Queen) to shepherd the civilians to Earth while the other heroes fight off Apokolips. They destroy their own ship to take them out, and are presumed dead. Some troops make it to Earth, but are eventually repelled. The Teen Titans are killed. Red Arrow and Barda are aboard a same cargo ship, escorting civilians. Barda lands in Toronto and goes into hiding. There are millions of refugees and policies are put into placed to register Earth-2 people, by the new Global Peace Agency. In Seattle, Green Arrow meets his own counterpart and discovers that Earth-2 heroes have gone missing—they haven't died. Just before Miracle's ship detonated, Brother Eye emitted a pulse of energy, a teleportation of those onboard to Cadmus Island. The Queens plot Oliver's death, leave a clue for Lois Lane, and begin building an army of Outsiders to attack Cadmus.
