A bandaged and fearful Andrew Bennett makes his way towards the Hall of Justice, while Green Arrow watches him in the shadows. As Andrew runs towards the entrance, the vampire is hit by a car and bursts into flames due to exposure to sunlight. A crowd watches in horror until the Green Lantern Hal Jordan arrives and brings him inside to recuperate. Andrew wakes up with Hal by his side, and Hal assures him that he is safe. Andrew demands to speak to the Justice League immediately, as the world is at stake. Hal says the League is currently off-planet, so he will have to explain himself to Hal alone. The energetic young Wonder Twin Zan enters the room and is fascinated by meeting a real vampire, much to Hal's annoyance. Mary, Queen of Blood, the vampire queen and Andrew's lover/nemesis, has been murdered. With Mary dead, there is now no one to keep peace between humans and vampires, and the two races are on the brink of war. Andrew explains he has been searching for Mary's murderer, and his search led him to the Legion of Doom's headquarters. He arrived to find the Legion massacred and the vampires' plans for the genocide of the human race. Andrew then encountered a grievously-wounded Lex Luthor, who the vampires left alive to torture. Lex gave Andrew a syringe containing his blood and an address to deliver it to, and then asked Andrew to kill him. Lex's dying wish was for the world to know it had him to thank as a savior. Andrew then narrowly avoided the Legion members who had been converted into vampires, including the Riddler (who he killed) and the Cheetah (who chased him out the door). Spending the next week making his way to the Justice League, Andrew moved during daylight out of fear that the vampires were closing in on him. He warns that the vampires have agents everywhere and says that the Leaguers were the only people he could trust. Hal and Zan are bewildered by Andrew's story; when Hal asks if he has any proof or has told anyone else, Andrew answers no. Zan announces that he will get the other League members, and Hal immediately restrains him using his Green Lantern Ring - and Andrew realizes Hal lied when he said the League was off-planet. Andrew calls Hal a traitor, but Hal replies that the Andrew has betrayed the vampires by trying to stop them from taking what rightfully belongs to the race. Hal reveals he himself is now a vampire, and proceeds to viciously murder Zan by grinding him in a blender with his ring. Hal reveals his powers as a Green Lantern grant him immunity to sunlight, and kills Andrew by projecting a sun with the ring. Hal then calls his master to inform him that Andrew has been taken care of, and disposes of Zan's remains. Aquaman walks in just as Hal finishes cleaning to inform him that Batman has called a meeting; Aquaman observes that no one has seen Green Arrow in days. That night, Batman arrives in the Batcave to find Alfred Pennyworth waiting for him. Alfred reveals that a nervous, bandaged man had arrived at Wayne Manor earlier that day seeking to speak with him. Alfred hands Batman a note from that man - Andrew Bennett - and holding the syringe, says that he wanted Batman to know that Lex Luthor might have just saved the world.
