Mera has called upon you to help the Flash defend the CCPD against an attack from Starro. If Starro takes over the energy grid at the CCPD then it will grow too fast to control and overrun all of Central City!

Inside the CCPD, you must help the flash clear Starro out. You do so by freeing controlled police officers and prisoners, and destroying Starro spore hatcheries. You then meet The Flash in the detention wing, Where The Rogues are being detained. Flash defeats Atlanteans, but he is then captured and turned into Controlled Flash, the first boss of the Solo. At certain point of the fight, you have to free one of the Rogues to help you. A starro will latch onto their cells and gain power from them. Destroy them before they do so.
Part 2
Mera appears and recognizes the armor of the Rogue atlanteans. She then tells you to follow her to an Ancient Atlantean temple to confront who's behind the entire invasion. It is revealed to be Ocean Master, Aquaman's brother who seeks to rule atlantis. After an arguement, the fight against Ocean Master begins. After he is defeated, Mera cuffs him and says he will inform Aquaman about Ocean Master's betrayal at Spindrift Station. And that's the end of the challenge.
