Things really start to heat up in issue number 8 of JUSTICE when the League -still short a few members- finally comes together in the Fortress of Solitude to formulate a counter attack strategy against the Legion of Doom. This issue also features the introduction of Batgirl into the story, and the first time all three redheads appear in the series. 
Hawkman and Hawkgirl give the Atom the microorganism sample they found in Toyman's warehouse, and the mighty Titan is able to discover that this is some kind of virus that takes over the body of whatever -or whoever- it infects. At the same time Zatanna and the Martian Manhunter arrive to the Fortress with a healed Aquaman, and accompanied by the Metal Men.
A few hours later, a ship crashes in the ice from beneath the surface, and a hooded figure emerges out of it. The mysterious character slowly walks towards the fortress and once arrives, is aided by Elongated Man to get in.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the heroes, the Legion of Doom continues executing their contingency plan and kidnap those closest to the League. In Gotham city, the evil Clayface, Parasite, ans Scarecrow have successfully trapped Commisioner Jim Gordon, Supergirl, and Batgirl. Parasite immediately takes the two unconscious heroines to the Hall of Doom.
The character that arrived in the ship was Queen Mera, who left instructions with Professor Vulko to stay in charge of the kingdom while she looked for help. Mera and Aquaman finally reunite, but the beautiful redhead has bad news for her King: Aqualad has taken the baby and disappeared with him. Batman explains that it was not Garth who did it, but the nanobots that have invaded his body and taken control of him. Aquaman gives an inspirational speech and gathers the forces to go against the Legion of Doom and rescue his son.
In another place, the villains are ready to attack as well, but this time they have an ace in their sleeve: all the captured relatives and friends of the heroes: Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Alfred Pennyworth, Steve Trevor, Commissioners Gordon and Emmett, Carol Ferris, Iris Allen, Jean Loring, John Stwart, and many others. And what is even worse, they have also used the nanobots to brainwash Mary Marvel, Captain Marvel Jr, Robin, Aqualad, Wonder Girl, Kid Flash, Speedy, Batgirl, and Supergirl. A monumental battle is approaching!
