Dinah, Flash and Aquaman, the back of the charge of superheros, had been thrown back violently by the first blast of green. Aquaman is soon at Flash's side so they can save their caged friends, but Dinah...
Dinah finds herself by a fallen Locus employee. His chest has been torn open by the fall from his plane and now....
She can see his lungs.
"Try not to move," she tells him. He might be a Locus goon, but he's still a person, who is going to die iof she can't get him to a hospital.
"Must retrieve ray," he managing, his face showing signs of sturggling hiis body just isn't responding to. "Plan must go forward?"
She can't help herself. Maybe later she'll rationalise it as keeping him talking to keep him conscious and alive. "Plan?"
"You can't stop us... using Alien DNA... to build host bodies for...ourselves and... one other."
"'Other'? Who?"
But he's not listening to her anymore. "...so we can survive... the coming... holocaust."
Everything else - her friends in Peril, Flash and Aquaman working out a rescue plot, worries about her mother's past - all of that falls away from Dinah's worldview.
