Don's phial.

Everything kind of calmed down, and once Healthbar had recovered she looked miserable and horrified at what she'd done.
'I made the wrong choice.' she said, staring at where Shade had been. 'I could have saved them, but the moon's influence....it makes my dark powers stronger, and clouds my judgement. You remember when I was 'The Vampire'? I could have used my ability to bring them back out of him, but my dark ability had control of my light ability, and I only had enough power to save OR destroy. I should have saved them.'
'I'm so sorry, it was the only way to heal you, you wouldn't have lasted till morning.'
'I know, I can heal with moonlight without sucking it out of people now, but...I almost wish you hadn't done it. Don, I'm afraid we'll have to wait until morning for me to heal that leg of yours, I've got no light left at all.'
'That's ok. I've decided. I can't do this anymore. I can't try and be part of something as big as this and stay powerless. I thought I could just join when I wanted, and then go off and forget about it. If I had an ability, I might have been able to save them. I need to be in or out, all the way. I'm in.'
He took out his phial, unwrapped it, and removed the stopper. 'He looked at it, we all did. 'I'm impressed it survived that blast of yellow energy, it hit my pocket hardest.'

As he put it in the syringe (Why did he have one with him?) I saw a small glint of yellow crackle through the black liquid. 'No Don, wait! NO!'
Too late. The formula had vanished into his arm and he began to shake violently. His eyes began to glow bright yellow, and bolt of the energy raced over his body and out of his eyes as the infected formula took control. He looked up at us, his body fizzing dangerously as he stared, and Playwrite fell to his knees, clutching his head and groaning, and we all blanked out. We woke up a few hours later, and Don had gone. I knew the Fates had done something, maybe even been playing us from the start. We did what we could to fixthe place up and went home. Dragon and his friends had made no breakthrough with Omni.

I haven't heard from Damian or Cleo for a while. From recent posts it seems they've both lost their memories, but I was expecting news of some sort. I may visit Cleo when I have time to check that she's ok.
