Gates to transport the others to Thanagar
Sensor Girl to negotiate between EarthGov and the security minded Thanagarians. It needs someone with the hard-edged selfishness of royalty.
Brainiac 5 to tell the people of Earth that they no longer need to use their cars at all. Prodded by Sensor Girl he goes onto fib that they will still need little teleportation vehicles like his time bubble. This keeps all those in car manufacturing in jobs.
COMPUTO & GEAR to implement the new teleportation manufacturing lines & logistics around Earth
Emergency! Following Black Dawn an insane Wildfire now possesses the Sun. Wildfire is planning on moving the sun to the nearest black hole to end it all, using the best comic book physics. Pick 5 Legionnaires to solve this crisis!

Deep in the Legion's unlit laboratory basement a panel comes to life. It's warm green glow is joined by the light of two red eyes. The master is missing. The failsafe has been activated. Laurel Kent II rises from her slumber.
Gahiji did not let his success spread into a smile. This wasn't a place where people expressed much happiness. But he had found them against the pressures of his family and the UP.
As he had travelled to world after world he found more fear, more uncertainty. Rumours of escaped criminals were rife. With the Legion gone it was only a matter of time before the first attack would come. Gahji left the stinking bar, his psychometric senses overwhelmed by the stench. He concentrated to attract the attention of his partner.
Bina checked her weapon once more and adjusted herself in her combat armour. She let her mind sense flicker at the edge of her perception. She could pin point each of the guards in the derelict complex beyond. The dullness of their response to her power could only mean the Circle. Bina had learned well from her mission against the Dominators. She would not be going in unequipped this time. The gun felt comforting in her grip.
The smoke filling the complex shifted as if pushed. Bullets fell from the air and the path of lasers distorted. The sound of the gunfire was fixed with sounds of rage and terror. Fanatic Circle recruits found themselves pinned to the floor, trapped under collapsing structures or simply shot out of the complex. Tel Vole, walked steadily through the ruins, shifting his powers around Laurel and Gahiji and taking instruction from Bina ahead. He was calm, but frustrated. Jed being inducted into a new UP response force meant that he saw nothing of his partner. But what really bothered him was being a decoy against the Circle. He hoped their inside woman would finish her job soon.
The last of the bombs made a contented pinging noise as Tari scanned the spectrum across the rest of the control room. Satisfied that there were no little or shifty circle members left, she uploaded the remainder of the Circle's plans to LegioNet. She let the others know where the Legion were being held, confirming the readings from Gahiji, Laurel and Bina.
The Ontiir clone groaned painfully from the huddled Circle commanders at the doorway. Perhaps Tari had gone a little overboard in the hallucinations she had inflicted on them. But by recruiting as many villains as possible to trigger another Earth War, they deserved what, and who, they got. Besides, Tari owed Ontiir something a little special for his betrayal of the Science Police to which she belonged.
Emergency! Mogo has gone Loco! Pick five Legionnaires to stop this sentient planet and the Green Lanterns that it now controls!

Cool! Sounds like that would make a good fic.
Saturn Girl once stopped Universo, she's our best bet.
Star Boy once counteracted the gravity of WarWorld for a time, maybe he can do the same against Mogo.
Gravity Kid is deputized to help out.
Try as they might, the Legionnaires cannot touch Apparition.
Matter-Eater Lad belches out Miracle Machine energy as a Hail Mary.
Emergency!
A large, powerful new Secret Society of Super villains is being formed! Pick 5 Legionnaires to infiltrate them and bring them down from inside.

Cool! Sounds like that would make a good fic. It did. That was it Mysa - She goes through the motions of creating yet another Highfather deus ex machina to counter Darkseid. Deals with the Secret Society at it's source. Jo stands in for Captain Comet, and get to face the Society on seedy Rimbor. Jenni to take down pretty much all of the society before they can blink. Saturn Girl to shut down Grodd, because it makes for a good scene. Tenzil to out manipulate Funky Flashman. Emergency! The Time Trapper has accelerated the decay of the entire Universe! As the big crunch approaches, pick 5 Legionnaires best suited to help humanity survive in whatever comes next.

The intelligent Brainiac 5 from after Legion Lost makes it back first. Then we have XS racing through time. Kid Quantum II males it back next, still in Legion leader mode. The Andromeda from Legion of 3 Worlds next. You'd never know she used to be a nun. Finally, Gates teleports in to help Brainy and co find the rest of their teammates. Yes, I am very much biased Emergency! RJ Brande's fortune has been lost! Pick 5 Legionnaires to help him raise funds and rebuild his empire

Gosh. We wouldn't want all those Legionnaire to go hungry...
Did someone say hungry? Why yes! It's Tenzil! Senator, lawyer and all round bizarro-manipulator to the great and good. They don't quite know why, but the UP are now funding the Legion and supporting the maintenance of the worlds around Brande manufactured stars.
Jeckie is keeping them in place, with her UP seat and a few choice visions of the UP without Brande's support.
Kara scoots across the galaxy and beyond bringing back precious resources to kick start Brande industries once again.
Sharn Nux steps in for Brainy to offer practical improvements to the UP, which is slightly more economical and palatable than Brainy's grand plans.
Jo uses his old vision powers and finds Brande's lost fortune down the side of a Brande's couch. It had been there all along!
Emergency! The UP makes all decisions based on ratings. The Legion are forced into a reality show where 5 of them have to live in their HQ for several weeks and be monitored all the time. Pick the 5 Legionnaires who would make the most interesting viewing.

Well, if I tweak the post earlier in this page from kidnapping to missing...
Are you sure Brande is missing? Isn't that him over there?
Chameleon Boy impersonates Brande to allay fears and stock fluctuations. Dawnstar for the long range tracking Mwindaji for the short range tracking White Witch for a bit of scrying to make sure he's okay. Kid Quantum I because if Brande's missing, it's probably something to do with Proteans.
Emergency! Ninjas! Everywhere! Daredevil has stopped hitting Ninjas this month, and the Legion have volunteered to help keep them in work. Pick the five Legionnaires best suited to martial arts movies.

The Mess attracts all dirt and debris to his body! He's been waiting decades for this opportunity!

Supergirl to remind him that when he grows up he could marry her identical twin (or her in a different outfit)
Jimmy Olsen to remind him that when he grows up he could marry a cross dressed Jimmy. Jimmy will even wear Cham's "lovey dovey" outfit in tribute.
Insect Queen to remind Superboy that whatever happens, he loves Lana Lang and hates that no good Lois Lane.
Earth Man to remind Superboy that they are very much alike, particularly when Superboy was possessed by Hitler in Adv #314
Emergency! The male Legionnaires though they were off to fight a Dragon of space. But the message was garbled, and they now fight the Drag Queen of Space. Which four male Legionnaires would look best in a female Legionnaires costume?

Chameleon, duh! I think he'd make those female Legionnaires a bit jealous. Brainiac 5 has already waxed his legs. Plus he has had practice impersonating female Legionnaires before. Prince Projectur, anyone? Colossal Boy keeps himself very fit. Just has to make sure he doesn't grow... Sun Boy tries to get in touch with his feminine side. Flame on! Emergency! The LMB is in its greatest battle ever - against the evil tomatoes! We send out a call for help to the Legion of Super-Heroes. Which 7 Legionnaires answer the call?

Yes! Only such a massive threat requires 7 Legionnaires...
Ketchup Kid...no... wait...
Matter Eater Lad & Calorie Queen obviously. Nom...nom...nom... Chlorophyll Kid Element Lad Using the old comics overload trick - Fruit Boy Superboy to ingest all that tomato juice with his super breath/ super tum.
Emergency! 31st century Trawling has got out of hand. There's too much of it and now the fish have become smart enough to evade the nets. Pick 5 Legionnaires to solve the mystery of sentient fish and propose a solution to the fishing crisis.

This should be interesting. Telepathic Tellus can champion the rights of the sentient fish. Brainiac 5 can come up with a scientific solution. Chameleon 's shapeshifting abilities can point out any mutations. Lamprey gets deputized for this case. Chemical King can maybe help Brainy synthesize a fish alternative? Runaway pollution is threatening air quality. Pick 5 Legionnaires to clean up the atmosphere.

Element Lad to transmute the atmosphere. He can tell the locals it's just as easy to transmute it again to something they won't be able to breath in at all*.
He's helped by Mysa's spells of similarity.
Jeckie to take over the entire planet, turning it into a feudal system where she controls the output of all companies.
Chemical King gets used to slow down any nasty atmospheric reactions.
Matter Eater Lad settles in for a nice dinner of the world's toxic waste.
*all animal life would of course be provided with cute 1950s space helmets should Element Lad actually carry out this threat. No reasons why they should suffer.
Emergency! A theatre troupe are supposed to be performing at a key UP conference. But they've fallen ill. Which 5 Legionnaires are best suited at acting to pull off the show?
