Comments:
The flashback in this story takes place shortly after Karate Kid, Projectra, and Ferro Lad joined the Legion.

This story incorrectly depicted a statue of Supergirl in the Legion Memorial. Since this story occurs in the Post-Crisis universe, Supergirl never existed. However, this could possibly be explained if the statue represents the Pocket-Universe Supergirl, Lana Lang.

Synopsis:
Projectra and Invisible Kid meet in the Legion Memorial. Projectra tells Invisible Kid the story of her first solo mission. She was assigned to bring some documents to a business associate of R.J. Brande. The documents were stolen by Black Mace, so Projectra called in Karate Kid and Ferro Lad for help. The three new Legionnaires retrieved the documents and delivered them. Then the trio apprehended Black Mace and his partner Gharf. Projectra completes her story and discovers that Invisible Kid has fallen asleep.
