Barry, Oliver, and Kara were returned immediately to a holding cell occupied by convicts that started to harass Kara the instant she was put in. "Hey, baby," one of them called. "Why don't you bring that sweet lil' booty over here, so I can show you a real good time?"Barry and Oliver, knowing that Kara was left vulnerable without her powers, stepped in front of her to ward off the sex-hungry lowlifes.
"Back off," Barry said. "She's with us."
"Well, she about to be wit us now," the lowlife retorted. "So why don't you back off, snowflake?"
Words turned to shoving, and Barry and Oliver verged on an all-out brawl with their cellmates.
That was until a strange alien noise reverberated within the cell.
A heavy humming, grinding noise.
Barry, Oliver, and Kara knew it as the welcoming sound of Maureen's T.A.R.D.I.S. It materialized inside their cell, terrifying the convicts, who backed themselves against the corner.
Selina appeared at the doorway. "Well, don't just stand there like morons, move your butts," she urged the three heroes, who showed no hesitation in following her command.
"Selina?"
The streetwise girl's concentration veered to one of the cowering convicts at the corner. "Ralph," she identified him.
"Hey, you bustin' your new friends out," Ralph said, "do the same for us, huh?"
Unfortunately for Ralph, Selina never held the man in such high regard.
"Sorry, Ralph. Not enough room."
And with that, she retreated back into the T.A.R.D.I.S., which had dematerialized out of the cell afterward.
Barry, Kara, and Oliver met with its Time Lady pilot at the controls.
"Had to practically fight the Nuage to materialize at the station," Maureen told them. "It's getting bigger and stronger by the second."
"Have you found a way to stop it?" Oliver asked.
"I think that I have, but it's a bit drastic," Maureen confirmed. "It involves opening a rift that will suck the cloud back into the infinite dimensional corridor. But, right now, I'm more bothered with findin' my father, who still thinks she's a ruthless Gotham City gang leader."
"One of the officers back in the station mentioned a gang war she's going to be in with the Sirens," Kara alerted.
"We can't let that happen," Maureen resolutely declared.
