you have the correct team, stile, but it is neither Wonder Woman nor Metamorpho

you got it!
Crimson Fox was the only active Leaguer available then, so they had her lead the Reserves.
instead, Crimson Fox figured out that Sonar was spying on them using transmitters hidden in their costumes... so she ditched her costume and made her way onwards to Moscow. unfortunately, she also ditched the Reserves, who were (mostly) captured and brainwashed.
over to you CMK

here's a breakdown of the involved heroes in Red Winter
Sonar takes advantage of the break-up of the Soviet Union to take control of Russia. He brainwashes former JL member Rocket Red. Rocket Red captures Flash (Wally West) and Doctor Light (Kimiyo Hoshi), who are also brainwashed.
Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) fights the Rocket Reds and goes amnesiac, but his ring transports him to safety.
Aquaman and Power Girl go to Atlantis, to ostensibly lead an Atlantean embassy to Russia.
Elongated Man is put into a coma by Sonar's weapons in Modora, and Sue Dibny pretends to cozy up to Sonar while biding time.
That left Crimson Fox to lead a bunch of Reserves on a fact-finding mission to Russia: Metamorpho, Tasmanian Devil, Huntress (Helena Bertinelli), Black Canary, Mister Miracle, Blue Jay, General Glory. (The Justice League America are temporarily unavailable due to the Death of Superman/Doomsday attack). The Reserves are aided by the Justice Society (Green Lantern - Alan Scott, Flash - Jay Garrick, Wildcat, Atom - Al Pratt, Dr. Mid-nite), but eventually all are captured (except the unconscious Blue Jay; Jay Garrick had started shaking Wally out of his brainwashing, and Wally throws the unconscious Blue Jay off into the air so he has an excuse to escape from Sonar).
**continuity is a bit iffy here, as the Justice League Europe are also seen attending Superman's funeral around this time, in other books...
Wally hooks up with Maya (first appearance), who is escaping from her family. The Justice League America branch also shows up (Wonder Woman, Fire, Guy Gardner, Booster Gold, Maxima, Bloodwynd, Agent Liberty).
**Again, continuity is a bit iffy here - Fire is shown with her powers, which she lost fighting Doomsday; Bloodwynd's dialogue implies that Booster Gold's suit and gadgets have been destroyed, but he still wears his suit and is shown in the big fight scenes; Blue Beetle and Ice are correctly absent; and Guy Gardner should have been elsewhere around this time.
Crimson Fox also gets the Global Guardians to join the League (Sonar had fooled them into thinking the League were illegally interfering with Russian politics... huh that sounds familiar!)
The storyline ends with a sound (heh) defeat of Sonar; Aquaman stepping down; and Maya, Metamorpho and Tasmanian Devil all joining the JL Europe, which becomes JL International.

Whew, quite a summary.
What was Barry Allen's favorite poem?

Ooh, forgot it was me asking!!
Hint: It was revealed by Wally West in a Secret Origins issue featuring the origins of both Barry and Wally.

Sorry CMK I still have no idea. Can you give us any hint as to the topic? Is it speed related?

I'll throw out another hint - the title of the story is "The Unforgiving Minute", which is a phrase from the poem in question.
If this doesn't get any further, I'll reveal the answer and think of a different question.

My lack of literary knowledge is showing. Sorry. Doesn't ring any bells.

OK, I'll cave. The poem is If by Rudyard Kipling. The lines relevant to the story are the last four. I'll stick with my Barry Allen theme, though. Iris Allen was (believed) killed by Reverse-Flash at a costume party. What costume was she wearing? (Barry was "disguised" as the Flash.)

Snow White? (I know she was wearing some sort of dress, and I vaguely remember recognizing the character...)

Thanks for the answer CMK. I've heard of If but never read it. Now I can.
Was Iris dressed as a superheroine?

She was dressed as a superheroine. Care to guess which one? (And not Snow White.)
