Or yes you can join a team and tag along and finish it that way to.

Doesn't appear to be an option. "Abandon" is, but not "Complete the mission."

The Complete Mission option used to be there, but they appear to have disabled it. I admit to abusing that myself a few times when I was in a hurry to get to Cimerora.|

Your best option is to find a friend who can get the arc and help him complete it, unfortunately.
The other is to hang out in Steel Canyon and wait for someone to talk to the Latin Student. Anyone on the team when the team leader gives the password gets the badge and can get into the Midnighter Club.
Okay, it gets weirder.
I went to park the character in a dayjob and was startled to see I'm almost finished the Midnighter Club dayjob. I also have the Midnight Squad accomplishment badge. But the arc is still open, waiting for me to find a way to cure the 20 Lost.
Very odd.

If you were on someone else's team as they did the arc, not only would you get the badge (as mentioned above), but if you were in the same zone as the leader when they crafted the wand, you'd be given a copy too. This would block you from crafting the wand, since you can't craft a temp you already have.
Also, some of the missions that granted the salvage used to be bugged, and sometimes failed to award the salvage. It's possible the bug has resurfaced.
Check your temp powers to make sure you don't have one. If you don't, you have two options: You can petition, and a GM will fix it for you, or (if you're 50), you can do the arc by Flashback. Once you have all the salvage, quit the arc. You'll keep the salvage, and be able to use it to craft the wand in your normal version of the mission.
The mission can't be autocompleted because if you did, then you wouldn't have the temp power, and couldn't complete the next mission (and that one can't be autocompleted, because it grants a badge, and badge missions aren't autocompletable).
