1st part. --
Someone says "this is everything. this is me" and what we see is the universe. then it explains the justice league, the earth, the multiverse and how when the multiverse is on the verge of destruction, which makes all the heroes rise up and be willing to sacrifice everything they hold dear, "that war is called a crisis".

Hal finds out that they've been transporting criminals of alien ties or weapons to a federal pen. Hector Hammond. The Shark. Evil Star. The Black Hand(that's a giver). And at the explosion there are bodies everywhere and that Black Hand had some kind of power surge. Hal gets the ring to analyze the energy and locate the black hand but it says error and can't process the request.
