The Inside Story; Justice League International # 12 1988

After following a mammoth robot Construct to a mountainous bunker,^[1] the Justice League finds its "master": Metron. He blames them for the loss of his information retrieval unit and Captain Atom begins smarting off to Metron, without realizing the vast power he has as a New God. Mister Miracle holds Atom back and apologizes to keep a tenuous peace and talk about what is happening instead of resorting to violence. Metron explains that he was beckoned to Earth by a device of his and makes psychic contact with the retrieval unit, discovering that it has developed sentience. This newly-living mechanical being does not want them to cooperate.

Meanwhile at The Dome, Green Flame and Ice Maiden decide to quit the Global Guardians in hopes of furthering their careers as members of the Justice League. They fly to Rio de Janeiro and consult with Ernesto Lopez, the bureau chief of the Justice League Embassy.
