Arriving back on their Earth, the heroes split up, some leaving under a shadow, others just eager to return to their lives. Mary Marvel returns to her apartment to discover Darkseid waiting for her. He offers her what appears to be a globular Eclipso diamond, claiming it is the rest of her power. He says that the Olympian Gods do not entirely trust her and had only returned a fraction of her power to her. Though hesitating, Mary takes the jewel. The Monitor named Solomon admits that it was he who moved the Great Disaster from New Earth to Earth-51 in order to thwart Darkseid's plans but knows Darkseid is still likely to win. The Challengers arrive at the Justice League's headquarters in order to speak with them and work out what's happening but Mary, clad once again in black, arrives and attempts to kidnap Jimmy Olsen. Though the Challengers put up a fight, Mary manages to snatch him from them.
