Adam Strange confronts a possessed Hal Jordan, who kidnapped his daughter Aleea. Adam's people incapacitate the Green Lantern, but the baby disappears through a portal to Qward. When Hal wakes up, Adam holds him at gunpoint and interrogates him.

During his unconscious state, Hal screams something about a "U-Mind," and this helps him remember what happened that day, from the reencounter with Barry Allen to meeting with Olivia Reynolds again. While Hal takes Olivia on a flight to meet a contractor, Olivia gets possessed by the Lenglyns, an alien species who depend on a secret power hidden in Olivia's mind. She attacks him, causing the plane to crash and get a hold on Hal's mind.

Hal figures that the Lenglyns and the Qwardians want Aleea because she possesses the U-Mind. Together, Adam and Hal go to the Antimatter Universe. On Qward, they find the Weaponers in turmoil, fighting each other in a civil war -a situation Guy Gardner triggered when he stole and used the Qwardians' power against them. After interrogating the Chief Weaponer, Hal finds that one of the factions' leader is none other than Olivia, possessed by the U-Mind.
