Early in the morning, Lois and Alfred go to wake Jon and Damian respectively, only to find that the boys are missing. In Providence, Superboy and Robin have been captured by Kid Amazo, chained together so Jon can't break out without injuring Damian. Kid Amazo recounts how he made his family watch while he killed android duplicates of them, and decides that it's time to kill the originals. His Robin and Superboy androids drag the unconscious Meyers into the room. Kid Amazo explains his plan to lure in the Justice League with Robin and Superboy as bait and then copy their powers to create an unstoppable android army. Lex Luthor crashes in through a wall, his arrival predicted down to the second by Damian, who reveals that he used the android head he was tinkering with in the previous issue to signal Luthor. As Luthor battles Reggie's original body to reclaim the stolen Amazo Armor, Superboy and Robin carry Sara Meyer (who is now awake) and her still-unconscious family members outside, safely stowing the others before heading back in with Sara to confront her brother. To face down Luthor, Robin, and Superboy, Kid Amazo re-merges with his androids. However, this leaves him vulnerable to Sara's machine control powers. She immobilizes her brother while ripping the Amazo Armor off of him. Luthor stomps the armor to disable it, threatens to turn the Super Sons in to the police alongside Reggie, and offers his support to Sara and her family in their future heroic endeavors. While he is momentarily distracted talking to her, Jon and Damian make their escape through the hole in the wall. Jon carries Damian back to Smith Farm, telling him to find his own way back to Gotham. The two argue, Damian saying that they saved a family and that Jon loved having the chance to work with him, Jon countering that they should have just let their fathers deal with the situation. They go inside to find Lois and Alfred, who are very upset with them.
