Synopsis for "Like Father..."

Oliver and his son Connor (both in their Green Arrow costumes) find themselves in Star City, a city in chaos after Beast Boy loses control of his powers. Beast Boy, in the form of a Star Conqueror, has unleashed spores that threaten to transform the inhabitants into animal-like creatures. Oliver and Connor investigate the situation and discover that individuals called the Resurrection Twins have targeted Star City.

The Resurrection Twins are using the city's aquarium as a laboratory, where they are conducting experiments on mutant creatures, particularly on the spores released by Beast Boy. The heroes are divided on how to proceed: Connor wants to save the creatures, while Oliver is more focused on eliminating the threat. Father and son face off against mutant creatures and try to stop the Resurrection Twins from executing their plans.

As they explore the area, Connor discovers that the Twins have used dead bodies to create abominations from the spores. While Connor chases the Twins to stop them from escaping, Oliver fights the creatures. The Resurrection Twins take advantage of the chaos to attempt their escape, all while unleashing waves of attacks on the heroes.

Oliver uses his bow and combat skills to fight the creatures, but he is soon overwhelmed by their numbers. He regrets not following Connor earlier and finds himself in a desperate situation, with the creatures overpowering him. The story ends on a suspenseful note as Oliver is captured by the mutant creatures.

Synopsis for "Birds of a Feather"

Red Canary prepares to face a chaotic situation caused by mutant creatures attacking civilians. She encourages herself to stay calm, comparing the moment to a scene from a movie where she is a character facing an alien invasion. As she tries to focus, she is quickly thrown into action as she joins Black Canary, who is also fighting the creatures.

While Red Canary is impressed by Black Canary's abilities, she realizes the seriousness of the situation when she sees civilians in danger. She must choose between helping people about to be attacked by an "alligator-man" or protecting a group caught in an ambush. Hesitant, she watches in admiration as Black Canary neutralizes several enemies with a sonic scream, saving her in the process.

Red Canary continues to struggle with her doubts and fear of making the wrong choices. After taking a moment to reflect, she decides to follow Black Canary’s advice, reminding her that in such moments, one must always make a quick decision and accept the consequences. This advice helps her push forward into action, continuing her mission to save lives.

During the battle, they face a new wave of attacks. A group of mutant creatures charges at an ambulance carrying the wounded. Black Canary and Red Canary fight to protect the civilians at all costs. While Black Canary engages the enemies with strength, Red Canary, though less experienced, finds the courage to fight alongside her.

However, Black Canary eventually falls victim to a Garro spore that attaches itself to her face and gradually takes control of her mind. Under the parasite’s influence, Black Canary undergoes a terrifying transformation into a giant raven (or is it a black canary?). The power of this new form is so immense that it makes Red Canary feel deeply powerless in the face of her mentor's strength.

As the giant raven (Black Canary transformed) dominates the battlefield, Red Canary faces a dilemma. She knows she cannot physically defeat her transformed mentor, but she still tries to reason with her, pleading for her not to harm the civilians. Red Canary expresses her doubts but eventually finds the strength to assert her determination.

The giant raven eventually flies away, leaving Red Canary relieved. Despite her exhaustion, Red Canary decides not to stop and declares that she will continue searching for and protecting the city's survivors.

Synopsis for "The Jungle Society of America"

In Star City, Red Arrow faces strange creatures. She called the JSA for help, but is surprised to see two team members transformed into animals: a giant frog (Alan Scott, Green Lantern) and a humanoid alligator (Judy Garrick). These transformations were caused by Beast Boy’s spores, which mutated several JSA heroes after they disembarked from the "Steel Eagle," their jet.

Stargirl and Huntress arrive as reinforcements. Stargirl sarcastically asks if she just shot “Judy Gator” and “Frog Lantern.” The heroines explain that similar transformations are happening across the country. The spores seem to be attracted to the powers of certain JSA members, triggering these metamorphoses. Stargirl offers to take the initiative to attack, but Huntress tells her to stay back, as her cosmic staff might attract the spores.

The team formulates a plan. Red Arrow fires an arrow to draw the alligator's attention, while Huntress runs between cars and fires a shot. She yells to Red Arrow that alligators are slower when they turn, which is confirmed when they succeed in forcing the creature to change direction. The alligator is temporarily incapacitated.

Stargirl, seeing the cosmic frog approaching, tries to distract it with her staff, encouraging it to follow the light. She draws it in for a direct confrontation, but Huntress shouts at Stargirl not to pursue this strategy. However, the cosmic frog brutally attacks Stargirl, wrapping her up with its powerful tongue.

As the situation becomes critical, Red Arrow fires a series of arrows that break against the cosmic frog's green shield. The attack has no effect, and an explosion of light follows. Alan, the cosmic frog, ends up swallowing Stargirl, with his head swelling and glowing.

A few moments later, Alan violently vomits Stargirl, who collapses to the ground, covered in slimy residue. Red Arrow and Huntress, witnessing the scene, express concern for her. Stargirl, still weakened, jokes that she hopes they can take it from there, while holding Green Arrow’s ring.

Stargirl, still covered in residue, gets up and jokes about being glad she attended biology class where they dissected frogs. Red Arrow and Huntress seriously ask if she’s okay, but Huntress remains skeptical. Alan (the cosmic frog) and Judy (the alligator) are tied up, and Huntress asks Red Arrow where they can safely keep them. Red Arrow suggests taking them to Star City Zoo.

Stargirl proposes dropping the creatures off at the zoo before heading out to find the other members of the JSA.

Synopsis for "...Like Son"

Connor, dressed in his costume, is overwhelmed by an assault of monstrous creatures and seems on the verge of being overtaken. As he tries to manage the situation, he expresses his doubts while acknowledging that the creatures are not responsible for their condition. Despite their terrifying appearance, he refuses to hurt them unjustly. The Resurrection Twins are partly responsible for their existence, and Connor, true to his convictions, is determined not to punish the creatures for the crimes of their creators. He fights the creatures, using his agility and cunning to survive while searching for a way to escape.

After finding refuge behind a door, Connor takes a moment to catch his breath. However, this safety is short-lived, as the door begins to give way under the pressure of the creatures. Connor decides to use his skills as an archer and his gadgets to turn the situation around. He recalls a past mission where Robin made him sonic adaptation earbuds to confront Music Meister. Thinking these earbuds might help him control the creatures, he begins to consider how to use this technology.

He puts his plan into action. Armed with special arrows, he tries to divert the creatures' attention. As he fights them, he is suddenly shocked to see that his father, Ollie, is also in trouble, caught in a fight with the creatures. Without wasting a second, Connor changes his plan and decides to save Ollie before resolving the spore problem. He fires a sonic arrow towards the creatures and shouts, "Hey, Zombies!" to get their attention.

The creatures are quickly engulfed in confusion. Connor’s arrow works as expected, temporarily neutralizing the creatures and allowing him and Ollie to regroup. As the chaos continues, Ollie fights fiercely. Despite Connor's quips during the heat of the battle, he remains focused on his mission. The two archers work together, their arrows hitting their targets. The creatures, unable to withstand the synchronized attack, are subdued.

After the intense battle, Connor turns to Ollie, and they have an emotional exchange. Connor expresses his frustration at feeling like he is never heard by his father. Ollie, on the other hand, acknowledges his past mistakes and sincerely apologizes. This moment marks a reconciliation between the two, and for the first time, Connor feels understood. They then decide to fix the situation together.

They devise a plan. Using one of Connor's arrows as a source of inspiration, Ollie suggests containing the creatures in a tank with absorbent gel. They move towards a large empty tank and formulate a strategy to trap the creatures. Once the plan is in place, they put it into action, synchronizing their shots to activate the gel. The creatures are quickly trapped, their danger neutralized.

As they contemplate their success, Ollie initiates a more personal conversation with Connor. He asks if they can talk once everything is over. Connor, surprised but touched, agrees with a smile. The father and son, reconciled, walk side by side, ready to begin a new phase in their relationship. The story ends as they walk away, united in their victory.
