Braniac has taken over Richie's mind and with the help of a thought control disk he takes over Flash's mind. The League goes to Static looking for Flash and Gear. Static calls Richie and he wants Static to meet him at an abandoned steel mill. Once there, Flash puts Braniac's thought control disks on them but Static's natural body electricity deactivates his disk. Braniac sends the League out to kill Static. He runs away then uses his electricity to deactivate the disks. The League set out to stop Braniac and tells Static to stay out it because he wouldn't be objective with Richie captured.
