In "Dream Crime, Part Five," the Legion faces a chilling twist as Universo’s apparent victory crumbles under the weight of Sensor’s deception—revealing her true plan to free Dreamer and Saturn Girl.

Written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, with art by Chris Batista and inks by Mark Farmer, this pivotal issue delivers intense psychological stakes and emotional stakes, all wrapped in Jason Wright’s vivid colors and Comicraft’s sharp lettering.

Universo realizes that his defeat of the Legionnaires was an illusion created by Sensor so she could release Dreamer and Saturn Girl. While the three debate shutting down Titanet, Universo finds them and begins to mentally fight Saturn Girl. But at that moment, the field Kid Quantum placed around Cub deteriorates and Cub's mind enters the mix, distracting Universo long enough for Saturn Girl to shut him down. In the end, the Legionnaires make Dreamer a member, Timber Wolf and Apparition face an older Cub, and Shikari and Karate Kid take Universo, trapped in his own mind, to Steeple.
