Flight
Synopsis
Invisible Kid shows his teammates his newest creation, rings which act as communicators and tracking beacons, to polite disintrest... until he also reveals they let the wearer fly. While most of the Legionnaires enthusiastically try out their "flight rings", Brainiac 5 notices that Invisible Kid made them from the floating substance he had discarded as waste metal, and watches jealously as his teammates show Invisible Kid their appreciation.
The female Legionnaires then decide to have some fun with their rings and, with the exception of Saturn Girl, decide to go dancing. After a talking-to from her Daxamite liason, even Andromeda, who hates beings of other races, resigns herself to having to befriend the Legionnaires and joins the girls in their trip to the dance club.
Elsewhere, Live Wire has a nightmare in which he recalls how he and his siblings had gained their powers until he is woken up by a phone call. Answering, Cosmic Boy tells him about the flight rings before Live Wire's employer, Leland McCauley, cuts short their conversation. The girls head to the dance club, and the shy Shrinking Violet, who is dressed conservatively, has her outfit changed by Kinetix. When they arrive at the club, they are refused entry.
Shortly thereafter, Winema Wazzo spots them and angrily takes Apparition home. The others get frustrated with waiting and consider giving up and going back to Legion headquarters. Meanwhile, at Legion headquarters, Cosmic Boy and Saturn Girl finish a virtual-reality training session and , swept up in the fantasy scenario, move to kiss each other. When the virtual reality helmets bump into each other, stopping them from doing so, the device shuts off, and they part ways, somewhat embarrassed. In front of the club, while Kinetix continues to change Shrinking Violet's outfit, some thugs attack a bystander.
Andromeda goes after the thugs, and the others help save the bystander's life. When Andromeda catches the thugs, they recognize her as a Daxamite and show her their White Triangle symbols, which lead her to let them go, with an order not to do anything like that again. Shortly after she returns to the others, Kinetix changes Shrinking Violet's outfit into a very revealing one, and the bouncer at the club door says that she can be allowed in. The shy Violet, frightened at the prospect of going in there without her friends, shrinks out of sight, and the others resign themselves to not getting into the club.
