Trouble in Kansas City!
Robot Man travels to the Doom Patrol's headquarters to check up on Larry Trainor only to find that it's under serious rennovation. Celsius has sold the building, and moved the team to Kansas City, without giving Cliff any word.She's also been busy attempting to recruit new members. She's currently testing a young lady from the circus who calls herself Lodestone. Her power over her own magnetic field grants her amazing strength. There's a lot of tension in their new quarters, between Larry and Valentina (as she posesses the negative energy that used to be his) and betewen Valentina and Joshua (as he can't bring himself to move on from their former relationship.)
