caring and when it was his mother's birthday he even picked out the best gift for her but of course he wouldn't tell his father then needed to be a secret to both of them you see the Graysons were a well-known circus act in the Hayley circus so Richard's days were filled with fun and excitement and on the night of his mother's birthday Richard set outside of his parents trailer and he listened as his mother opened a gift it was a golden bracelet with two Robins kissing on it it was perfect and she loved it he just sat outside the trailer smiling as he heard them talking about how perfect of a gift it was but that night tragedy struck for Richard as it does with most superheroes the circus was tapped on funding and because of this they skimped on the safety precautions both of Richard's parents fell to their deaths in front of the entire audience and in front of Richard himself and the audience though was Bruce Wayne and he saw the terror in the young boy's eyes as his entire life washed away that day so he took a special interest in Richard that day and he followed him for the next two weeks the death of his parents was placed on a man who failed to promptly set up the safety precautions and Richard went on a warpath looking for that man the man named Tony Zucco but Batman watched from a distance as a young Richard ran in risking his life to get his revenge and on one night in which Richard would have received a bullet to the head Batman leapt in to rescue him he then brought Richard to the Batcave that night and Richard put it together Batman hadn't been following Zuko he had been following Richard to protect him and Batman didn't deny it as a matter of fact he removed his count revealing to Richard that he was Bruce Wayne he then offered to help train Richard to fight against Zuko to turn his rage and do a true passion and something that could protect Gotham City so they spent the next few months turning the Acrobat Richard Grayson into the superhero sidekick of Batman and on one fall evening Bruce Wayne walked over and he saw Richard doodling designs for his costume but Bruce agreed that the designs that Richard had drawn work that didn't speak to him as a person and that's when Richard saw two robins flying nearby Bruce told him the Robin is a sign of hope and rebirth in some cultures almost a sign of growing up so with that Robin was born and he went on to fight with Batman in many battles and he became one of the strongest allies Batman has ever had and on the anniversary of his parents death he decided he wanted to remember them but he wasn't sure how it was Alfred Pennyworth I've recommended that he remember them by living up to his namesake the Robin so every year on the anniversary of his parents death he lives his life to the fullest to remember the good times alfred is preparing to take some tea down to Bruce and he heads over to the elevator that leads to the Batcave he looks at a picture of dick and Bruce and he reminisces about it was it really that long ago master dick doesn't seem like it was as he gets into the elevator and he begins to try and call it he says to himself that they've lost too many first Damian and now dick it's just it's enough and then he stands there for a moment before he realizes that the elevator isn't moving so Alfred calls bursts over the intercom and he informs them of his predicament - which Bruce simply responds it's okay Alfred the cave is having some issues and the cameras are down - go ahead and go back to the mansion I'll be fine in here I'll fix it but before Alfred goes he expresses his worry about Bruce with Master Richard's passing with the boys passing he just wants to make sure that Bruce is okay Dick Grayson was almost a son to Bruce Wayne or as close as he had until Damian and Bruce responds by informing Alfred that dick wasn't a boy he was never a boy - which Alfred just says of course and he heads back to the mansion down in the Batcave Batman and Nightwing appear to be preparing for a sparring match Batman says how many times have we've done this how many rules have I given you where you fight how you fight we've done this too many times he continues I need to see if they broke you I need to see if you still have the heart do you once had so one more time dick only one rule you need to win so Batman and I we can go at it they start this fight like they've done so many times before two men almost equals the fight encompasses the whole cave destroying everything around them and Batman says you let them take you you let them reveal your secret and Nightwing just responds you weren't there but Batman continues you let them turn you into a bomb and kill you before Luthor revives you you let everyone watch you die as the fight continues Batman just States I've trained you too long and watched you die and then he hits Nightwing in the face after that I need to know if you're strong enough to know what comes next are you strong enough to make sacrifices that we will all have to make a Nightwing just responds with what is this Bruce so their fight continues and Batman just says I have a special mission for you dick I need you to do something that'll hurt your friends your family and even me I need you to stay dead and Nightwing just stares shocked No and he kicks Batman into the air Batman smiles it simply says good fight fight like you can't to be captured like you can't be killed fight like you're alive and then as Batman throws a giant dice at Nightwing's head knocking him off balance he says spiral the Espionage group they fight the usual evils in the world a lot of people fight that fight spiral is the best but before Batman can go any further Nightwing Energex but Tim Jason Alfred Barbara but Batman just keeps going a lot of people fight that fight spiral is the best I know this because of how long it took me to figure out that they were doing everything behind my back and Nightwing just states I can't they're my family Bruce our family but Batman just keeps going they're hunting masked heroes they want our identities who we hate who we love as he smashes Nightwing into the batboat and Nightwing ads after Damian I can't do this to them I just can't but Batman just keeps going we can't let them do this you can't let them do this but Nightwing continues to argue I'm alive Bruce I'm alive and Batman responds with one word good as the net wing tosses them both off of the catwalk and on to the classic Batmobile Nightwing just says how can you ask me to do this me and Batman responds with if they know our secrets we can't fight how many people will die if we can't fight we need an Inside Man we need you dick they'll come for you a masked man without a mask Batman just asks one more question why do we fall dick so that we can learn and get back up but Nightwing just says no and he peels off his mask no that's not true we fall because someone pushes us and Dick Grayson stands back up as he finishes we get back up so we can push back as their fight comes to its end Batman says the dick that he's the only one who could do this none of the other heroes have this in them spiral would just use them to get to the rest and Batman finishes I know I'm hurting the family but this has to be done a dick responds yelling after this it'll never be the same between us it can't be the same and then they exchange a few of their final blows with dick just saying I'm not a boy Bruce falls to the ground finally taking his cowl off and he says that's enough and dick responds with no it's never enough finishing his statement with one rule I win Bruce responds with the final word good bringing the fight to a close from there a Dick Grayson went to go work for the agency known as spiral as Grayson spiral is trying to find every superhero secrets out so we can use them against them but Grayson is there to be the Inside Man and keep this from happening dick racin was an amazing acrobat one of the flying Grayson's until his parents are murdered but Batman helped him find new purposes Robin arguably the best Robin that they're once but he outgrew that role he needed to become something more so he became Nightwing a hearer of Bludhaven and practically a brother to Bruce Wayne but he outgrew that role as well where he died rather when the crime syndicate arrived on earth and forever evil storyline they unmasked Dick Grayson on national television and then they murdered him for all the see Batman did revive him but where does an unmasked superhero go he goes undercover into a spy organization that is trying to get the identities of all of the superheroes the organization is spiral and Dick Grayson is now known as agent 37 and he's joined their ranks to find out what their true purpose is and keep Batman informed now Grayson is on the trans-siberian railway in a blonde wig he somersaults on to the top of the train car he finds himself jumped by one of the thugs who was also on the roof he struggles for a second but then he gets the gun out of the thugs hands and he throws it against a nearby pole ricocheting it back into the thugs head he signs to himself as he handcuffs the thug to the roof the downside of the solo act is that no one's around to see you do cool stuff but little does he know that Midnighter is watching from a distance damn that was pretty cool Grayson lands inside of the train car and he talks his way out of needing a ticket before entering the dining car and having a seat at the bar next to him is a gorgeous blonde hitting on an older fatter Russian gentleman the older Russian gentleman's name is Niall and he's Grayson's mark the blonde woman would be from a competing agency also trying to get their hands on this mark so Grayson accidentally spills his drink on to the woman's chest forcing her to leave the bar to get cleaned up the woman walks away grumbling to herself before feeling dizzy as she looks up at another woman standing over the bar Grayson's partner Hellena is looking at the woman don't worry it's a paralytic agent that was spilled onto your ample chest who are you checkmate shut up and enjoy the scenery Hellena tells her while Hellena is talking to the blonde bombshell Greyson managed to slip a roofie into the Russian man's drink and is currently carrying him out of the train car onto the side of the train and then he jumps off of the train and off of the nearby bridge with the man in tow but the thugs begin to immediately fire upon him Greyson radios to Hellena we're taking fire do something agent 37 or do I need to remind you what can happen if you breached his containment field so Grayson thinks quickly and he uses an implant a spiral gave him known as hypnosis to hack into the Russian man's mind and implant a suggestion I'm your friend you've been lonely and afraid for so long I just want to help you yes help you friend so the two men run to a nearby nuclear silo with the enemy agent still shooting at them they get all the way to the silo and they hide inside but once they get inside the Russian man passes out as something as hit him and Greyson finds himself being assaulted by Midnighter they bounce off the walls and the catwalks of the facility with Grayson getting a left hook in at midnight are head-butting him so Greyson uses his hypnose implant again on Midnighter and mid neder immediately knows what this means a hypno implant that means your spiral and you aren't here to help the poor sap at all you're here to exploit him but before midnight or can say or do anything he's blasted through the wall of the silo and into the sky Greyson turns to his Russian friend standing there I help you it's what friends do you're burning up I need you to vent is it true what man said you just want to use me yes it is I'm just like the men who asked you to smuggle what's inside of you I'm not your friend you're a loser that I know I can manipulate and the Russian man blasted the wall trying to hurt Greyson but he cart rolls out of the way and left the man blast away again while he continues to dodge until finally he burns out and collapses to the ground Grayson has Hellena come by for the extraction they both come in for their debriefing with a head of spiral congratulate them for an incredible job well done and that night while he was trying to call into mr. Malone aka Batman Grayson gets a visitor alena just wanted to spend some quality time with him but he stops her isn't this forbidden by spiral I know that I just wanted to see if I could get away with it with you without using hypnose good night agent 37 our story opens up on Hellena training the newest set of recruits at the sate hardens finishing school today's lesson is how to fire a crossbow into the head of an enemy when out stumbles the hood one of spirals many agents as he collapses on the ground he cracks a joke that matron Bertinelli looks lovely today meanwhile Batman is busy battling against these cycles of violence a low-level biking gang mr. Malone this is bird watcher this line is secure is this a bad time Batman tells him to hold on while he jumps over the biker kicking him off the bike and forcing it to crash are you safe bird watcher I'd say I'm pretty good for a dead man how's Gotham chaotic insane beautiful and your funeral was nice how did out the butler take it in Red Riding Hood bird watcher dick the longer we stay in this line the more likely we'll intercepted yeah you're right I don't need to know I'm gonna wrap this up before the flowers in my grave wilt bird watch her out he then steps out of his room and he walks off to his mission briefing with Halina his partner they enter the head office and mr. Munoz explains that agent 24 also known as the hood has returned he was tracking a black-market meta bio weapon and enhanced stomach mister my nose wants Grayson and Hellena to pick up where this mission left off and of course they get to use the spiral mobile they head off into the rain in their spiral mobile which is a rather tiny car that Grayson got to take a great nap in Hellena we'll go report on the missing sheep in the area while Grayson heads off the channel for the locals and the pubs and see where that can get him it's quite obvious who did better though because three hours later we find Grayson taking a series of blows to his body from a speedster as they run off shouting sorry human tenderize Grayson thinks fast throwing a flashbang at the wall and then shooting it with his gun the flash distracts the speedster and drops her to the ground she pulls up her glove and looks at her hand and sees wrinkles starting to form so she panics and boom she runs off shouting Halina runs down into the tunnels because she heard a shot and she says that she found all of the sheep not to the bone and shoved into a cave so Grayson explains that this girl picked him out of a crowd and brought him down here where their fight began they walked deeper into these tunnels they find a training facility placed into a bomb shelter they also find human bones and Grayson and Hellena put it together that this girl has been eating people down here in the basement but before they can continue their discussion Grayson shut Elena to the ground as the speed sir has returned Grayson throws another flashbang against the wall distracting her and the girl explains that she's doing this because she saw so many horrific things working for the group they she didn't want to do this but she didn't have the time to find somebody to test this properly so she put it into herself and the faster that she moves the faster she ages she then whips up a storm throwing both Grayson and Hill Elena to the ground as she takes a bite out of Grayson's arm there was never enough food I was always hungry Grayson tries to kick and punch but he can't get at her he just can't do it she moves too fast but Elena tells him to stand down what why because spiral can use her we're going to offer her a job and not risk damaging the implant wait what she's a cannibal she killed people she ate them she's not a supervillain agent 37 your old superhero days are over she's an asset to spiral Grayson and hell Elena stare each other down and then she throws a punch at him oh come on you didn't think I saw that coming I can read your mind Halina so Hellena leans in and says the trigger phrase deactivating Grayson's hip no implants and knocking him out the metahuman was brought in and the organ removed stopping her speed and metabolism and Hellena didn't report Grayson's insubordination to their leader while not happy with what happened Grayson will have to deal with it while he remains undercover and as we go to the secret offices of mr. Milo we get a better scope of spirals plans he's trying to build metahumans equal to other superheroes but the part that they gain on his last mission Grayson on board with spiral and his new enhanced stomach he now has a Batman cyborg and a flash our story begins with us looking down the barrel of a gun the men that we are looking at is Barton tardy as another enhanced organ the spiral is trying to get his hands on enhanced eyes but since we're looking down the barrel of a gun we know that this doesn't end well as the assassin the old gun kills Barton and takes the eyes old gun has no eyes of his own he was hoping to put them into his own head but instead of eyes the sockets where his eyes should be are linked to the barrels of his guns what the gun see he can see so Agent 37 also known as Grayson and his partner matron are tasked with retrieving be enhanced eyes but due to the importance of this mission and just how fragile the package is they'll have additional partners agent 1 and agent 8 after Grayson gets a little close to agent 8 all four head off to their mission so Grayson walks into the restroom with old guns raining is lizard next to him and that he turns to old gun and tells him looks like you're about done you've got a problem pal no problem and with that Grayson grabs his line and tackles the old gun pushing the both of the nearby window and out of the building Grayson smiles as he sees that his line is attached to a helicopter nearby being piloted by matron and he already has their target looks like it'll be a fast and easy mission but old gun uses his guns to shoot the line dropping the boat to the nearby rooftop as they both recover agent 8 takes a sniper shot an old gun clipping him in the neck so he spins around and fires a gun at her and then one of the helicopter damaging it with the helicopter going down into a burning wreck and matron bailing out Grayson pulls his gun on old gun but Grayson has been trained to never use a gun by Batman never kill an enemy regardless of what spiral wants him to do please I don't want to do this think about your boys having the guns done enough and Grayson lowers his gun slowly but old gun doesn't lower his until he gets hit in the neck by agent one Dick Grayson you're an idiot the two of them escape the area with the authorities coming an old gun also escapes and back at the base agent eight slaps Grayson for not taking the shot what kind of an agent lowers his gun spiral doesn't care about his previous life Nightwing wing Knight or some bird whatever he was he's 37 now and they need him on point you're all like Batman she exclaims little boys under little masks crying about their dead mommies so Grayson calls up mr. Malone or Batman as he's better known on their secure line and she informs Batman that agent eight knows his identity along with the rest of spiral and then he asks for any information on this old gun guy so that he can track him down and Batman tells Grayson that the old guns real name is Christoph tanner and he has a son enrolled in preschool that's starting this fall realizing that this is the reason the old gun wanted his new set of eyes Grayson goes to the school alone where he easily finds old gun on the roof looking down on his son through the barrels of his gun he approaches him and he tells him that his son is gonna be in class 118 and miss Santa Lou's room old gun then turns his guns to Grayson I get it guns make things go faster but what's the rush Grayson says not even ready to defend himself so old gun lowers the pistols he then throws grace in the box of the enhanced eyes the doctor said they won't work for me so here take them before we do what we gotta do can I meet my kid sure go for it but that's when a bullet hits old gun dropping him graces screams out no and over his radio he hears agent 8 and agent 1 reported they followed Grayson they congratulate him for a job well done but next time is she got the entire team involved but old gun isn't dead and he turns to where the shot came from and he shoots agent eight in the head with Grayson once again screaming no old gunman falls dead into the schoolyard in front of his own son an agent 8 falls down onto the roof dead Grayson takes a seat on the roof as agent 1 comes over the radio agent 37 do you have eyes on agent 8 she's in reporting it agent 37 who their agent 37 and Grayson with a very stern look just response that's not my name back at spiral headquarters mr. Mitas calls and matron to report that he's getting a pirated signal someone is making encrypted calls from their base she needs to find out who it is this operation to gain the powers of superheroes can't be compromised [Music] fire burns from the back of the plane as Grayson and Midnighter argue over a dying woman giving birth what are you doing you said that if I didn't throw you off this aircraft you could save her I'm not the one who kidnapped her spiral yeah you're the one who led Argus to us and you got a shot down that's when Hellena from the pilot's seat chimes in the Orcas EMP hit everything not only are our engines down but all of our systems aren't responding so are you gonna help her or not Midnighter shut up Grayson I have the head just hold her still Grayson looks down at the poor woman worried he knows this isn't going to end well and the fact that they're going down isn't helping the situation a smoke fills the air around them Midnighter tells the woman to push he could get the baby still then that's when the ship hits the ground hard and Grayson realizes how this story is going to play out no no no no I'm losing the mother I'm losing the mother no as they take into account all of the supplies that they have Grayson is holding the crying baby Hellena tells them the bad news the closest town is 200 miles south of their position across the empty quarter a desert with a hot and pleasing Sun we're dead Midnighter says comforting we're not dead Grayson tells him I found formula and bottles and the mother's things plus we have some water in a few MREs hommina tells the group it's not enough we're dead man deader says once again reassuring his group if we're dead she's dead Grayson says looking down at the baby so we're not dead we walk and he starts the trek across the desert day one there isn't any talking but as the Sun beats down on our heroes Midnighter does drop his leather jacket then Hellena hits the ground and he goes to help her up discovering that she was injured in the plane crash day two Helena's injury starts to get worse and they are already hitting the end of their water supply but Grayson won't give up this child has to make it that night over their campfire Midnighter explains the situation the child has the heart it's full of energy spiral and Midnighter have been looking for metahuman enhancing organs for their respective organizations this child has the one that they all came for a metahuman enhanced heart Grayson and Helena's mission is to get the child back to spiral but as Midnighter tells him give me the child with that energy we could survive this and we can make it all the way back give it to me or I'll take it from you and I'll win I can see what's coming remember I can fight with your style Midnighter tells Grayson but Grayson ignores him that's when Hellena takes a knife to his throat yeah did you see that coming Grayson just sits there holding the child Shh baby girl day three Helena's injury gets the better of her and she falls down in the desert Grayson runs over it he tries to give her Lena the water but she stops him the water is for the baby promise me that that water will only go to the baby she says we went for her we took her it's all her you have to get her back dick so Grayson takes his shirt off and he pitches a tent for Hellena allowing Grayson and Midnighter to continue on as the Sun begins to set Midnighter taunts Grayson once again you think you're so high and mighty saving that child what do you think spiral is gonna do with that child when you bring her back you don't think the letter keeps the heart do you Grayson Grayson spins around a cold clocks Midnighter hurry up there's a lot of head and you're slowing us down Dave five is just midnight or taunting Grayson we should fight and Grayson ignoring it day six is midnight are continuing we should fight so I can win and take the baby day seven even Midnighter is getting tired of himself we should we should and he falls in the desert did Grayson I have enhancements I have powers what do you have and Grayson leaves the water for Midnighter I have her as of day eight it's only Grayson in the child he tells a story a story about his dreams as a child day nine he keeps telling that story but he is finally beginning to lose himself to the heat and day ten well day ten Grayson went as far as he could and he collapsed holding the baby up still that's when a nice couple happened to cross him he made it he was rescued and so was the child a week later back at spiral Grayson if Elena were still in recovery and the head of spiral was going over the report he was sad that they lost the heart supposedly it was lost in the crash and it's unrecoverable oh well on to the next enhanced organ but the truth is the child is fine being raised by a loving family elsewhere and the heart is still with that child our tale begins with Grayson and Elena making their way across the coastline of the Yellow Sea moving towards the base of a group called a wall they are a collection of deserters from various criminal organizations pulling heists for personal gain but as they get closer a giant killer whale attacks them Orca Grayson shouts out pulling Elena out of its path but then he sees what he's actually fighting let me modify that zombie Orca with legs Elena explains it they're actually security nano sites and they're attached to whatever is nearby when they lack a human host Grayson hits it with a bolts from his crossbow and he watches it fall into the ocean returned to the ocean and swim free Willie the two of them come over the ridge and in the base of the group a wall where they see everyone is dead grayson walks through shutting the eyes on the dead soldiers and shocked at what's happened to them and he asks what this brain does that could cause this to happen Elena tells them that they don't know what the brain does just whispers and rumors about its abilities but off in the distance Midnighter is watching them and while he can't see their faces because of their spiral hypnose devices he does know Grayson's ass anywhere Hellena takes one of the few survivors as she begins to dig around in his head using her Hypno's to search his mind for answers that's when Grayson gets too close to the technology allowing Midnighter to stay hidden hidden Midnighter reaches out grabbing him hey a dick when Bennett heard ed was pulled Grayson through a door to the Gaad garden Midnighters base of operations he explains that this is where everything man-made gets hidden and then he lunges at Grayson you got in my way in Russia and again in the empty quarter and I'm the kind of guy that holds grudges I'm on a mission and I don't have time for you you goth club bouncer Grayson replies as he jumps into the air and throws a baton of Midnighter men that are catches it and replies that's funny I was on a mission to to keep superhuman organs out of the hands of a spy organization called spiral they go back and forth trading blows and quits with mid net are starting to win as he studied Nightwing's moves but that's when Grayson begins to win and he asks um did you study Robyn's moves he gets the better of Midnighter but that's when his eye begins to bully does his hip nose begins to fail oh yeah forgot to mention the God garden has tech that turns off that wet work stuff and then he knocks Grayson out or it allows me to install it as he has now seemingly taken Grayson's Hypno's tech back with Elena she's finally figured out what's going on the fists of Kane has taken the Paragon brain they plan to fill it with hate and anger until it's ready to explode and then launch a psychic attack on the nearby peace rally meanwhile back with Grayson he's trying his best to overcome midnight but he has the moves and the tech now and once he knocks out Grayson he'll used the hypnose to trace the signal back to the spiral base so Grayson says the secret word and disrupts the hypnose that bindara took out of him using that disruption he uppercuts Midnighter knocking him out finally that's when an old woman appears behind Grayson she asks him to follow her and apologizes for Midnighters actions it was unattended and his temperament got the better of him but now she'll need Grayson's help in stopping the fists of Kane because they've been built to destroy the god garden to destroy her the gardener and Grayson is going to be needed to save the God garden with Elena moving towards Israel to stop this she has mr. Munoz patch in to Grayson's hypnose so that she can see where her partner has vanished off to and what she sees is Grayson locked in a Cell in front of her which means that someone else is using the hypnose and when he gets close to the glass she sees that it's Midnighter so she has an idea to link up Grayson's implant which is in Midnighter with her implant so that she can show Midnighter what's about to happen and get him on board because he's the only one that can save Grayson now meanwhile Grayson is trying his best to convince the gardener to let him out of the cell but the gardener explains that she wants thousands to die in Israel it'll show the world that this artificial super human arms race needs to end now God guarded wants to unleash this flood to combat sin but at that moment Midnighters brain overloads as his hypnosis getting all of the information from Hellena he hits the ground and blood begins to pour out of his eye but he does manage to get out the order God garden release Grayson open the door we need to stop Israel he turns around to the door and shouts Gardner you have to let me go I saw things and I think Grayson is telling the truth but while Midnighter is now an aside Grayson is trying his best to convince the gardener as well telling her that he saw the refugees that she saved that she has compassion why is she keeping him here and Midnighter walks to the door begging the gardener to release Grayson he doesn't want to fight her please let him help meanwhile in Israel with Halina a concert is blaring loud music and the singer holds up the Paragon brain and thoughts of hatred murder and death pour into the people of Israel and they begin tearing people apart the Gardner is finally convinced in Midnighter and Grayson walked through one of the many doorways from the God garden and into Israel ready to stop all of these people Midnighter takes crowd duty while Grayson leaps over the people fighting and makes a break for the brain but just as he gets close he sees Elena coming forward as she's been affected by the device shouting Asia 37 you abandoned me you left me I hate you I'll kill you he pushes her back as she reaches in to kiss a surprised Grayson there that cleared my mind she tells him I'll disarm the crowd get the brain even more confused Grayson jumps back in sure I'll keep clean thoughts going he jumps back onto the stage and he kicks a knife away that Midnighter tried to throw telling him no one gets killed and then he begins to drop the leader and his goons on the stage one at a time but while that's going on Hellena finds herself overwhelmed and that's when the director of spiral appears in front of her shooting the man off of her she just surprisingly asks director - back on stage Grayson gets ready to smash the device holding the brain and he holds it over his head ready to smash it when he realizes that he needs to feed a positive emotions instead it's the only thing that he can do to end this if he just brace it the entire world to be stuck with thoughts of hatred so he thinks about everything that he has his family his safety net and he changed the Paragons mind Grayson walked back into the debriefing where mr. Munoz congratulated him for a job well done and he wished that he could have been there as he said that he and Hellena shared a look back in God's garden Midnighter tells the gardener that he's done with this mission he can't work for someone with a hidden agenda he isn't Grayson they've been sending him and his partner Hellena off to recover the enhanced organs that grant superhuman powers from the world but why have they been doing this because as the man in charge mr. Munoz has said it's so that he could uncover the secrets of the Justice League Grayson and knew that this was a lie and even Midnighter told him that this was the lie the Grayson went along with the plans to figure out what the true mission was but now mr. Munoz has enough of the organs and it's time for him to enact his new plan he is a man of Secrets he enjoys them and he wants more of them and he opens up his mission by firing a crossbow bolt from Helena's own crossbow into her chest the doctor comes running out with Elena in her arms bleeding all over the place as Dick Grayson is teaching his students gymnastics where is the dr. Grayson Hellena what happened Grayson yells running to her side she explains in a very weak voice that was mr. my nose he fired a bolt into her chest Amy for her heart she always keeps the sights off target when she's not using it after he shot her she played dead so that he would leave she then pulls the bolt out of her own chest dick listen all of the agents are on mission except for you and agent one he'll hit agent one first because he's at noon prayers in the chapel she then passes out in his arms Grayson stands up furious I'm going after my dose wait I've known this man for years he's smarter than anyone he'll know you're coming the doctor tries to tell him do you think I care he says kicking out the window all of the students are being escorted out of the room but a few of the girls who have taken a liking to Grayson decided they're gonna have some fun with this and they go get their masks meanwhile in the chapel mr. Minow shows up and points a gun at agent one's head agent one then spins around knocking the gun out of mr. my nose his hand and then shoves him to the ground pointing the gun at his crotch you have three seconds to tell me if you've gone crazy or what the meaning of this is mister my nose tells him I have a secret meet Paragon at that moment agent one is thrown into a wall by a cyborg robot monster see Paragon has the powers of the Justice League I know I know I told everyone that we were collecting the organs to identify the heroes but what you're planning to expose the secrets of a horribly powerful organization like spiral again hurt to have a few of these underside paragon begins to crackle as he charges up a beam similar to cyborgs energy and he blasted a taejun one luckily Grayson arrived just in time to pull him out of the way what do you know Grayson asks him - isn't save in the monster has the powers of the JLA we're going to die what do you know - Chicken Hellena and the cops we're all that's left we're not gonna die Grayson tells him as he's dodging more Paragons blasts haven't mentioned you're an idiot Dick Grayson agent one says is he also leaps out of the way of another blast yeah that's pretty much implied but I've been working alongside the JLA for a long time train with them and they have weaknesses so will he he then explains as he dodges and maneuvers around every one of Paragons moves over and over cyborgs blasts are preceded by a small crackle the flash needs room for his speed to work so staying close Aquaman's eyes are perfect that makes his aim perfect but it also makes him predictable Green Lanterns constructs require a crazy concentration so come in from multiple angles to confuse them as Superman's breath takes 4.2 seconds from what it hits you to take you down plenty of time to maneuver away from it martian manhunter x' mind attack just takes concentration of will to avoid he then goes in to hit Paragon telling asian wanted never give in and then as he helps him to his feet he says at least he doesn't have Wonder Woman strength thank God we never got the the heart we never brought back to heart Grayson realizes what they can do to stop Paragon except they both realize that agent one's a gun is on the other side of Paragon that's when they're saved by the girls from the school as they come running in with their masks and launching darts at Paragon to distract him Grayson does a backflip over Paragon catching the gun as the girls throw to him and Denny lands shooting Paragon right through the heart shutting him down - who walks over clapping telling them they did a job well done now they can just sweep him away another secret to be kept but how would they keep him from talking he's been using spiral to get all of the world's secrets and he now has everything and that's when a crossbow bolt appears in his chest right in his heart and behind him it's Elena I fixed the sights ending my nose but did they really cross the world - is sitting at a diner explaining that he left a light composite of his own design behind - to be him someone to play the cliched explaineverything villain that every hero wants to fight so they'll fight him and the real my nose can walk away the woman sitting across from him asks him where will you go what if I need to reach you and he responds with Ireland I'll be in Ireland but before he can go she asks one last question how did you know know like how did you know Spiral didn't manipulate you into doing this I mean they knew who you were all along and maybe they just wanted someone like you to be their face for a while what why you said it yourself you're kind of a cliche dapat villain except you obsess over secrets instead of things like penguins the exact type of thing that they could use to attract someone like Grayson into their web wait what how do you and now they can gently encourage him to serve their larger purpose and now they can let you go wait do I know you you're your agent zero you are only a rumor and spirals files oh god please don't do this at least let one last secret come out my name is and she kills him honestly mr. whatever do you really think I care this is during the period in which Batman had amnesia and with no word from home base Grayson's stayed with spiral trying to figure out what his next move was because every time that he would call up and ask to go home he got no answers meanwhile elsewhere Helene that a now leader of spiral gets a report that agent 37 also known as Grayson has been seen killing other agents around the world the organization that controls spiral from the shadows informs her that it was done with the same weapon that Grayson uses so it has to be him over in a museum Grayson breaks in with Tiger another agent of spiral to conduct their current mission to retrieve a large rock of Kryptonite to deliver it to the buyer grayson lets tiger drop the guard and he throws on his suit with it giving him a series of problems he asks tiger am i straight referring to his bow tie while this is going on Hellena is going through all of the evidence that points to Grayson none of this is adding up why would he betray her and spiral at this point but all of the pieces do fit it could only be him back in Spain Grayson goes to the dance floor and he spies the woman with the big rock on a necklace then as they proceed to dance the night away Grayson makes his move and he snatches the gem off of her necklace pocketing it he then goes into full distraction mode giving her a kiss and walking away she notices right away that the stone has been taken and she begins to shout out faith faith with a smile Grayson runs back into the halls where Tiger is waiting for him he begins to sprint down the hallways and Elena gives him a call telling him to take Tiger out of the equation agent 1 may have been compromised so Grayson [ __ ] his arm back dropping tiger really sorry man but it looks like they always used to say when you stop listening to the voices in your head you've probably gone crazy he then makes a break for it leaving tiger at the mercy of the guards Tiger looks around and simply says who are an idiot Grayson Grayson runs across the building to where a guard is being questioned about the mysterious person that he can't remember because spiral has special technology called hypnosis that blurs individual spaces so you'll never know that they were there the guard only remembers the tuxedo but as Grayson runs through kicking him in the head he tells him don't forget my smile Tiger looks at the guards and he begins to drop them all with his seconds then he decides that he's going to get his revenge on Grayson no one betrays tiger as he slips away requesting an extraction from Elena she informs tiger that he isn't to go after Grayson without much more to go on Grayson makes his way to the drop-off point to meet the buyer Holly still hasn't told him what's going on in as far as he's concerned a tiger is the compromised agent and he's now been handled but when he gets to the drop-off point he sees one person who should never have kryptonite to Lex Luthor he is the drop off grayson smiles at him do you really think i'm gonna turn this over to you Luthor and Luke there explains that ever since forever evil I've been a member of the Justice League and I'm doing my duty to acquire all of their weaknesses to remove them from the playing fields but Grayson doesn't believe it why would spiral deal with him Lex explains who do you think invented the Hypno's technology that they stole and re-engineered the technology that allows them to remain hidden and talk telepathically I have the next phase of it complete body control he then demonstrates by taking control of Grayson's body forcing him to almost grab the waitresses but next to him realizing that he can't win against this Grayson throw his coughing into Lex's face and he jumps off the side of the cliff onto his own ride which is hidden right there even with Lex's drones chasing him he Rockets into the night sky he tries to call up Elena to report and ask what's going on if she doesn't answer leaving him to assume that everything that he thought was going on is wrong and he wrongfully dropped agent 1 back in the museum so he has spiral HQ give him agent ones location he because the head over to that direction agent 1 during all of this is beneath Rome Italy and a burial room filled with skulls he's stooping around on his current mission went out of nowhere Grayson appears above him and because they strangle him Tiger hits the ground in pain and the fake Grayson drops behind him asking Who am I he begins to beat down tiger with his batons until Grayson sees himself you know I've never really seen myself in this angle no idea what all the fuss is about let me guess Clayface the two races begin to battle it out with Grayson trying to guess who the fake Grayson really is as they begin to battle he asks do you who's because if you is your Clayface and then he knocks the faker back and he sees no who's gotcha it's a no Clayface and you're talking two complete sentences so that kind of rules out Killer Croc in a good mask then Grayson jumps in kicking himself in the face wait I got it you're secretly Wonder Woman now hear me out here he keeps throwing punches over and over explaining that he thinks that it's Wonder Woman because she's doing this so that she can get with him she must be tired of Superman then he leans in how about a kiss and he headbutts the evil doppelganger the doppelganger hits the ground and Grayson smirks Tim I head-butted myself might be a metaphor for every girl that I've dated but at this time the doppelganger decides to start playing the talking game Barbara might agree or Cory Grayson is thrown off what did you say the doppelganger gets back up and begins swinging how about I guess who you are are you Robin Nightwing asian 37 the fight continues and Grayson is starting to get mad who is this they know everything about him he finally has had enough and he runs in furious so the doppelganger throws his Hypno's into a loop forcing them to hit the ground you don't understand these Hypno's at all do you Grayson you can be made to see whatever they want you to see and you didn't even see yourself losing in the Vertigo state that he is in Grayson gets up and he approaches himself but there's one secret weapon that very few people know about and Hellena has used it on in before the kill command for the hypnose and this person has that kill commit the doppelganger says it and then grayson hits the ground confused and disoriented and the doppelganger looks over at tiger to see him ripping the Hypno's out of his own eyes allowing him to see the truth the person behind this whole plan agent 8 his partner that died Tiger and Grayson reported in the next day a Halina tiger told her that he pulled out his hypnose and he saw who it was Maxwell Lord of checkmate trying to ruin spiral from the inside and since he was the only one to see who it truly was no one questions him but Grayson is fed up with this these little games these spy organizations play are stupid and he's tired of it all he completed his job and now he can't even contact Batman so he tells Elena that he's done it he's leaving he walks out of the office in his room he grabs his calm his only communication with Batman and he tells him I'm coming home I hope you can read this it's time for Grayson to go back to Gotham after everyone has assumed that he's dead to find out where Batman is agent 8 septa Wayne reported that tiger was going to say what she told him to she knows that he will and dr. Nets the doctor who works for spiral tells our good the plans are working [ __ ] Alfred help him with his makeup at his wig he'd become reliant on the hypnosis Barbara was providing him with the Highness identity and with Bruce remembering nothing at the dick wanted to remain hidden he sat down and he started to chat with Bruce feeling him out and to see what this whole situation means when he decides is that Bruce is happy being oblivious will honor Alfred's wishes of not bringing him back into the Batman life at that moment the window behind Bruce shatters and in comes a spiral agent she hits Bruce with a tranquilizer ride away and then it forms an agent 37 this Barbara isn't done with him though she imagined that the first time that she met him he would have his shirt off you know because of the rumors dick gets up and tells her that she really shouldn't be here he left the life of spiral and as they tumble over the furniture she informs dick a spiral isn't done with Mia if he doesn't return to work at HQ the revealed to the world that Bruce Wayne was Batman and they'll ruin everything for the man and dick asks her who are you and she informs him that she is agent zero the spider in the web but she's calling him home she then hits him hard and leaves him there as much as Dick Grayson wants everything to go back to the way it was it would look like he has one more thing to do is spiral but before he can do that Jason Todd punches him across the face he isn't happy that declined to them to them his brothers you don't do that to another Robin dick tries to apologize but Tim cuts him off we all die we're all going to die but you didn't die you just lied he tries to give them a speech telling them that it was for the betterment of the family and that everything will be better but neither of them wants to hear it so he begins to pull out a gift that he took from the Batcave the first two batarangs that Batman used and he throws them to Jason and Tim he tells them I want you to know really I need you to know everything we've been through together all of that never left me never will leave me knowing you guys are behind me is more important than anything I'm not just another fellow disciple of the bat or whatever Tim Jason I'm your brother Jason stops him wait are you using that cup and Tim cuts him off Shh so dick moves on to the next person on his list Barbara Gordon he had something with her though they've never really fully explored it he tells her that he's sorry so so sorry but she doesn't want to hear it she knows he did it because Batman asked him and even when she recognized him he didn't tell her that it was him she jumps off the bridge at they're on to get away from Grayson and he jumps off after her without even in the end she caught him she'll always catch Barbour it was you and me in the very beginning remember that okay everything else the evil villains the Batmen the world's on the brink a thousand dangers and horrors streaming and knocking me down strangling me killing me I swear it doesn't matter because I always come back to you to you she looks at him in the eyes and asks them is that your stupid cluemaster and dick moves on to his last location Damian Wayne they both look at each other and declare you're alive you see when dick left Damian was dead but Batman went to apocalypse to revive him Damian was the least of set with ditch returned he was just happy to have his older brother back and dick told him before we get into it and we have a lot to get into I have to tell you something Red Robin Red Hood Batgirl I know they could take me leaving each of them has been in the game a long time and you've seen things too I know kids like you well there aren't a lot of kids like you I just want to say how you took it how you went on to see what you're doing what you've become I'm nothing but proud Damian looks at them wait are you using that asinine child's game you taught me the clue masters code everyone of course figured it out the moment that Dick Grayson left you see the whole time dick has been seeing the bad family to deliver a secret message that only they could crack they all type in the code and they hack into spirals Hypno's program and with that Dick Grayson goes back undercover for one last mission as agent 37 of with the bat family's support this time he walks into the office of agency zero to Informer than used back in action and as agent zero welcomes dick back into the fold keeping her face hidden with hypnose Batgirl decrypts the hypnose showing dick who he's been talking to Luna Nets agent zero and his time for agent 37 to put an end to this whole operation alena the director of spiral is standing next to him I would like to welcome you back and formally apologize so the incident with Lex Luthor if I had known that he was working for Argus I never would have arranged that deal I would also like to assure you that spiral is not capable of controlling a person through their Hypno's your privacy and integrity are our utmost concern privacy and integrity huh Grayson says as dr. Nets is inspecting every vital part of his naked body after he returned from going AWOL ah the doctor exclaims I have found a tracer no wait it's a ball once he's deemed safe for work he pulls his pants back on and he's told that his next mission is to assist agent one the two men board a ship for passage to their location and Midway over the ocean the dread pirate tiger shark tries to commandeer the ship he walks on board and he thinks the captain for not starting any problems but then his men tell him uh sir we have a problem we can't see these guys faces you see the Hypno's that spiral agents use blur their faces to anyone not wearing it and once they've been discovered big show been kicking Tiger shock is in shun what these clouds move like Batman an agent one hits a man telling him I'll take time to nurse the wounds after being compared to a dead man Grayson grabs a cable and pulls himself up over everyone telling agent one to have a little respect the two of them keep beating down the thugs but then tiger sharks sub decides to launch a torpedo at the boat he figures worst case scenario who's that a boss in a job but before he can other devices arrived shocking the entire boat and the shark and with that Grayson kicks tiger shark in the head ending the conflict both agent 1 and Grayson go below deck where the captain walks up to them wanting to celebrate with vodka ones agent 1 walks away Grayson calls up Red Robin to get reports when Grayson returned to spiral he had learned to that agent zero the woman behind everything was Luca Nets they can't trace much of her except that she is somehow related to the doctored Nets who also works there the one who was just inspecting Grayson's body but when Tim went digging for information he found something odd Luca nets has always pumped up spying on Batman and Robin she's fascinated with them she could be seen in the background of almost every photo taken at every one of Batman's events tracing all the way back to zero year she's been watching Dick Grayson this entire time but why through all of his tracing though he found someone trying to find information on Luca nets this person was wiping out information on the Internet so Tim trace the Pietrus back to a place right us out of Berlin so Greyson tries to figure out how he can get spiral to send him to Berlin so we can have a look at this place and he needs them to assume that it was their idea Tim suggests that he used the grace and charm on the director grace and tells him his charms don't work on her but his charms will work on him though and Tim stops him did you see him meanwhile Halina the director of spiral calls a meeting of the heads of the organization she tells them how it is she will be stopping checkmate God garden and anyone else you would dangerous her agents if any of them get in her way she'll be dragging them into the light she didn't suits up and heads outside where she gets a report the god garden opened up a door into Berlin Germany over in Berlin a mostly robotic girl named Maxine teleports in with news that there is a building being used for human genetic experiments Ladytron as she prefers to be called heads over there to stop these experiments grace in an age of one are watching from a safe spot as members of God garden are moving in and then Greyson reports back to Hellena who responds to him telling him to remind God garden that secrets are spirals domain that's it he got the permission that he needed to break into the building as Greyson an agent one jump into attack Midnighter is watching from the distance Midnighters the one who arranged the little God garden arrival which is how this entire excuse was created as Midnighter lands in a cafe though he takes off his helmet an agent zero herself sees what's going on reports the Shia's company robotic spiders come in out of nowhere interrupting Grayson and agent one and lady Tron so they have to change their focus in their personal battle finish drawing the spiders Ladytron starts asking them to stop attack the plushies but of course the robot spiders aren't listening and it's Grayson who asks agent one do these look like spiral robots to you yeah so why are they attacking us Grayson call the director now they continue to smash as many of the robots as they can and Lady Shaun hits them with sonic screams but it's not enough as there are dozens of robots dead Ladytron notices robotic hand is missing hey enemy agents I'm pretty sure these things are eating matter to create more webs because they totally ate my hand agent one realizes that they are in trouble so he grabs the mechanical woman and grace it and using her 600 pounds of weight they all come crashing through the vents into a large server room the spiders are still chasing them though so agent one has an idea lady Shawn use your reactor to send off an EMP killing off the spiders and Greyson as they answer to that punch agent one across the face Greyson you bastard then Greyson kicks in knocking him out Greyson then looks at lady Tron and using his hypnosis he hacks into her brain to inform her Maxine you're in a nice and warm place the story of spiral actually began with a young scientist the original Agent Zero he was the Smasher of heroes with spiral he was able to control the world he was so powerful so confident and utterly bored it was during the first world war that he began to realize that all battles have to come to an end all become their own enemies and all eventually destroy that which they created Agent Zero realized that he must keep the war from ever ending he had to find new enemies and challenge himself so he created a secret army called the Leviathan that would infiltrate spiral he created a never-ending aura Boris endlessly eating its own tail his name was otto nets and he eventually became known as dr. Daedalus meanwhile back in the current time Greyson has put a positive memory into Maxine's head and he begins to ask her to hack into the computers for him but the moment that Alena calls him asking what the hell's going on Greyson explains that he and agent want to be in the enemy agent and they are just hanging around he then hangs up and she doesn't believe him our story of the beginning of spiral continues them eventually the master of all Agent Zero was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and he realized that he was fading fast he needed somehow to live forever so he went off to make a home and have two daughters Elizabeth and Katrina nets they are his future and his past back with Grayson he asks Maxine to tell him everything that she can find out about spiral and that's when he gets this story over with Elena the spider calls her a being that works behind the scenes a spiral demanding to know where Grayson is back in our spiral origin story a Jazeera explains that he discovered a way to encode himself and his mind into a computer system into the web that is spiral he would become a spider but he wanted this version of himself to always be challenged to become the Y spider of poets tower so his daughters had a purpose one was to become him agent zero and the other would challenge him as a Leviathan this is the story that Greyson receives and he realizes what is going on spiral is in a never ending game or the Nets family the spider then tells Hellena that grayson must be stopped and she will have the Nano spider BOTS devour him she refuses but it doesn't matter the spider demands it and she is forced to press the button and as they begin to approach Greyson agent one and Maxine Greyson grabs Maxine by the shoulders and he tells her you need to use the EMP now Maxine do it with that the EMP goes off at all power in the area is dead back at the spiral headquarters dr. Metz answers her phone Elizabeth net speaking and on the other end her sister the current agent zero oh you play the game well sister you covered my and your tracks well Greyson tells Maxine to take a nap and then out of nowhere agent one jumps on top of him nothing not Elena or God can save you now Greeson he throws grace into the ground Greyson tells him to stop listen to me but agent one is tired of Greyson hitting him Luca Ness Elizabeth Nets Hellena we have to stop them all Tiger we have to destroy spiral and that is where our story with Grayson and agent 37 is currently at in Nice France a cars racing down the street where it comes to a sudden stump a man walks out of the driver's seat and he begins fixing his cufflinks as he walks to the back where a man is handcuffed the handcuffed man looks at him please please please Dick Grayson leans down with a smile fast word swordfish swordfish Dick Grayson puts his prisoner into the trunk and he tells the valet to keep the car handy he'll be leaving soon oh and don't press the red button as a parachute he walks to the door and he tells them the password swordfish and he walks inside and he gets behind the bar another man walks over asking for a drink a surprise he wants something nice so Grayson jumps out from behind the counter surprise and he kicks the man on the face he puts him into a headlock and he tells him to relay a message to spiral command tell Hellena and I'm coming for every age in his spiral I'm taking them all down and I'm taking the spiral down he then grabs the briefcase in the man hat and he makes a break for the exit where Tiger his partner is waiting with the car he climbs the side asking him what agent was that seven he's 30 agents ahead of me that guy is there any way for me to retake the agent test because you know I had a problem my pencil that day five days pass and Grayson and Tiger are now in the Alps I'm pushing the red button tiger I told you no I know I know I totally heard you Tony the Tiger I also told you not to call me that it just seems like one of those textbook red button moments then around them various men with guns and skis come whipping by and the car that they are in jumps a snowy gap to another cliff sign you know I used to drive shotgun with Batman you know obsessed insane wears a bass suit doesn't believe in fear I was never really scared of his driving and I've only been with you for one week one week tiger and all I can say is that I wish I still wore my yellow pants you know you get it yellow pants because I'm so scared I might be I get it shut up and push the rent but you told me not to push the red button yes and now I'm telling you to push it does this mean that you're backsliding on the Tony the Tiger thing too because I kind of like that nickname and you could call me spy Wonder Jam and push the button idiot so Grayson hits the button and the parachute fires off yeah I knew you'd insist on idiots spy wonder I hardly knew you they parked the car in the snow and Grayson gets out asking which agents are these tiger tells them five and nineteen oh come on is everyone above me or there agents 38 and up they all had their pencils working on the proper day back in the spiral headquarters dr. Nets reports in the bear losing agents all over the place while they can replace them Elena has a better plan meanwhile in Greece Tiger and Grayson drop another series of agents this leads to a montage across Georgia Russia Mongolia China two more and Thailand a Grayson saying his spies on he's the spy the spy with the face of swirls he gets all the girls but he calls the women because girls know it fits the rhyming scheme is kind of misogynistic and doesn't show proper respect for the equal sex milena is forced to call in the big dogs The Syndicate even Tiger is slightly fearful because regardless of how good Grayson and Tiger are the syndicate is bad news and it means the end of our hero's journey to disassemble spiral Tiger tells dicta they're not going to be able to complete this mission without help and they need to find people they can trust so dick comes up with an idea to approach a competing spy agency and ask a Maxwell Lord of checkmate for help it's time to get checkmate involved and have them fight spiral it's time with the spy wars while grifter is briefing the syndicate so that he can head out on the mission agent one and Grayson are stalking another enemy agent an agent from the organization shaved Frankenstein things are going fine until Frankenstein throws undead monkeys at agent one Grayson was talking to him on the radio and that's when he suddenly hears Cree great please tell me you're just watching alva to the chipmunks again he swings into action and sees Frankenstein charging into his victim while still pinned underneath the undead monkeys Frankenstein throws Grayson aside and realizing what they're up against Grayson activates his new weapon and he sucker punches Frankenstein with a hard and light construct Tiger throws one on himself and the two of them begin to hit Frankenstein over and over pushing him into a wall until they get him boxed in and then water pours on him and freezes him into place then out walks their new partner Maxwell Lord of checkmate he asks for his weapons back and he agrees that the deal has now been made they brought in Frankenstein so who helped them in their battle against spiral the two of them head to Mexico where they finally sit down and talk a little and Grayson tells him a story of summer camp who would be sent to this camp where all of the other students from nearby schools were also going people who never knew each other would all arrive at the same time then they would all magically become best friends within hours even though they were complete strangers something about the fact that everything was new and exciting made those friendships more intense that's what being a spy is like for him like summer camp they both stand up and Grayson turns to Tiger you can call me an idiot now agent 1 hey I have made my distaste for your history and many of your present actions quite clear but know this as I have come to know you I have to admit to myself that it may not like working with you I indeed like and then before he can finish tiger is punch across the face by a mini person the mini person then grows to a full sized person and is pink Grayson tries to punch her but his force is thrown back Adam and then grifter arrives grabbing Grayson by the arm and throwing him to the ground they flip around a little bit and grace and asks um how did Elena get you on board red hanky meanwhile Tiger is fighting the pink person as she grows shrinks and bounces him around I told her Lena that I was getting bored fighting against her easy agents so she sent a toy that throws my own might back at me genius he says as he hits the round back with Grayson he is constantly dodging grifter as he fires his guns at him that is until Grayson figures out that grifter is following his movements telepathically so he throws a baton against the wall and bounces around throwing off grifter and as it comes for his head he shoots it out of the sky but that was a distraction as Grayson kicks him on the side of the head and disarms him the doing them continue their dance on the roof and grace at the roses batons against the walls bouncing them down ahead of them until he pins down grifter then after a short while he shows up with tiger at his eyes bleeding he tried to use his hypnosis to read grifters mind but when grifter resisted he forced it and that's when he tells Tiger the news The Syndicate know all about spiral Hellena and Auto nets and the plan to cause chaos within the world so why did they come after us tiger wants to know because Hellena hired them and they want to keep up appearances the truth is the spy wars are beginning and it is now Grace and tiger checkmate in the syndicate because Hellena and spiral and it's about to get messy after receiving a tip from Grayson that Leviathan was on their way Hellena and dr. nesse began to get the students of the finishing school down into the lower level shelters as the two of them make their way back outside Halina is attacked by Leviathan and King Farah way calls out to execute Omega attack one by one the members each shoot in beat Hellena down to the ground and just as faraday begins to gloat he is stopped by grace and punching him in the facing sorry were you still gonna go on grace in an ancient one begin fighting off everyone while Grayson tells dr. ness to go ahead and get Helena the medical attention that she needs they're going to need to be preoccupied for a bit over at the skull girl's dorm agent zero tells the girls that they're going to have to help her save the school agent zero is the individual who is trying to turn spiral into an organization of chaos and destruction and she explains to the skull girls that the people fighting out there agent 37 one-in-eight they're all traitors and matron Bertinelli is dead everyone else alive is working for dr. Nets and they're really working for a secret organization called Leviathan Leviathan is another top-secret spy organization that has been brought together to fight against spiral to give spiral something to battle against for ages in ages but now it's about to get messy one of the skull girls asks h20 why they should trust her and agent zero tells them that they have never giving them anything but she has come bearing gifts in the form of weapons while dr. Nets begins to prepare Helena for surgery but she is begin to cover Helena's body and spider tells her that the matron has returned to the womb dr. net says that Hellena needs surgery but spider tells her that she isn't the only healer within the web besides right now she needs to sit at spiral Center and welcome her father home she then calls up agent eight stating that she is now in command of spiral the awakening is happening sooner than expected so engage the attackers a short while later agent eight is slowly backed into a corner by the skull girls after receiving a beating agent eight says that she couldn't tell them how long she's waited for this day but all of the girls then draw their weapons telling her she must have forgotten who lives here they are the skull girls and agent 8 responds with well you must be confused because really you're just a bunch of corpses and she pulls the pin on a grenade outside with Grayson and agent 1 he calls out that they were innocent kids in there but Faraday tells him that there are no innocents here but whoever did that had nothing to do with us Grayson calls him a liar but as agent 1 is into the ground he tells him no I'm telling the truth it's her a smoke begins to settle agent 8 walks out standing over the bodies of the skull girls agent one that gets back up stating stay out of this fight this is all his and Grayson says neither of them stand a chance alone but let me make a call to mr. fight a door begins to open and through it Midnighter walks out stating hey I'm not the romantic type but I could kiss you right now Grayson Grayson runs over to check on the skull girls and they all jump up calling him a traitor one of the girls states that agent zero says goodbye and Grayson tells them no wonder why there's an outbreak of crazy she's the enemy you're not fighting for Spiral you're being used by love violence go girls soon Grayson manages to convince the girls to stand down just as agent 1 finishes his fight by shooting agent H his old partner Grayson meets back up with them telling him score one for the good guys and agent 1 tells him yeah good guys back down in dr. neces lab agent zero says hello to her sister agent zero and dr. nets are both children of the original evil Nets dr. net cells are yes I can hear you very loud and clear and I will miss you when you're gone sister Luca who also goes by the name agent zeros eyes wide enough and enough it over age she headbutts Elizabeth also known as dr. Nets stating when she's gone I'm the chosen one I'm agent zero the two sisters begin to fight and struggle with each other and then they stop and a voice tells them don't stop on my account daughters they look up to see helena standing telling them to fight harder Paulina then tells the girl that she is dr. Daedalus but Elizabeth says don't you see our destiny it's all been a trick the crown was never ours it was his Otto wears the crown to fly close to the Sun but fear not they could still serve the coming Cataclysm if they are willing outside as the fighting settles Grayson says they need to find Halina but agent one tells him it's too late she's gone the return of dr. Daedalus is at hand and Halina is his chosen vessel dr. Daedalus is the father of both dr. Nets an agency are also known as Elizabeth and Luca and he is the one that orchestrated the entire Leviathan versus spiral situation and he put his brain into the computer so that he can live forever so that he can be reborn in an individual eventually so that he can bring at the end of times the Cataclysm the entire thing was so that he would not get bored that's it I had to explain it like lay it out for you so you'd understand move on back in the lab dr. Daedalus tells him that he will give them one choice kill or die now if one of them would like to join him he has needs beyond this cellar Luca pulls out a gun repeating one of us Greyson tells agent one to tell him what's happening an agent one tells him spider has been playing a song it could never be allowed to win but I have higher allegiances than you Grayson and Midnighter says hate to be the one to tell you pretty sure your friend works for checkmate Grayson this Willie isn't my scene I'm gonna be going now an agent one tells Grayson to stand down this is checkmate operation now agent one has been a double agent this whole time soon agent one gets word to follow dr. Davis and he's been given a small jetpack but as he leaves Grayson jumps onto their helicopter and follows during the chase Grayson fires missiles forcing agent one to eject from his gear but on his way down agent one falls towards the helicopter shooting at it he tells Grayson the spiral has been playing on checkmates board from the start they've been trying to keep everyone within spiral from fulfilling dr. Daniel as his plan keeping watch in keeping the great Dick Grayson tied up Grayson jumps from the cockpit of the helicopters to the roof of the helicopter stating you missed one thing I like being tied up he then lands on agent 1 and the two of them begin to punch each other back and forth until agent 1 manages to throw Grayson off of the helicopter he luckily had a parachute while agent one begins to ride the burning helicopter down to the ground elsewhere dr. Daedalus and Luka are riding a train and he asks if her sister died well and Luka tells him of course he goes on to state that he thought that maybe she would surprise him he did make her smarter but Lucas says yes but why didn't she make us both smart and dr. Daedalus informs her that he has no need for two smart children he needed one to be cruel so he bent the world into his desired shape it's what he does Luka then pulls her gun on dr. Daedalus telling him yes but you're no father to me you're just a blind scientist and it is I who will be at the center of the web so how does it feel to be the helpless one now dr. Daedalus pushes a button in electricity shoots out electrocuting Luka and moments later her body is dumped from the moving train back with Grayson and agent 1 they begin to move back out while agent 1 steals someone's car and Grayson goes to pick up his bike that he had hidden away a short while later agent 1 asks where do you get all these ridiculous toys in Grayson tells him don't be mad we all can be best friends Batman agent one spins the car firing his gun at Grayson and he begins to dry back towards him shouting do not make me kill you and Grayson tell them don't worry you won't and that he hits a switch on his bike the bike begins to speed up towards the uncoming car and it writes up and using it as a ramp crushing the engine and driving off of it back over at Elizabeth's lab Maxwell walks in to a dying Elizabeth he tells her I can help you I just need the minus file and all all the members of the Justice League and I'll save your life besides you never worked for him he was the one pulling all of the strings you're just a pawn she tells him you think you've won but let me ask you what is a pawn not a pawn as Elizabeth types away at the computer the screen begins to change stating that the archive files all the Justice League have been deleted as she tells them when it becomes a queen over in the snowy mountains Grayson finally begins to get close to dr. Daedalus and he opens up the doors to his hideout as he walks through the lower floors he hears dr. J Dilla stating that it looks like the fly is entered the web and he tells him that he has one chance to let Elena go and dr. Davis tells him I cannot she is my vessel and I have her God now I am the center of the endless spiral the mind of the cruelest Leviathan so step into my presence to see the truth that I am the end as Grayson enters dr. data as big as the show of all the things that has happened to him and tells him there is no end to the spiral there is no end for me and he hits him with the end of its cane stating I will erase every trace of the woman you love and Grayson says I have a better idea he jumps back up kicking dr. Daedalus and he tells him how about I take you he continues punching him telling him just let Elena go doctor Daedalus begins the last dating love makes fools of us all and Grace and asks him that yes but dr. Daedalus pulls away from him telling him you'll always fall into traps it was always a yes light begins to fill the room and is settling nothing but white can be seen and then grayson sees Elena he runs over to help her up and she asks what did you do and he tells her what I had to he begins to pick her up and they walk towards the open door and she asks him what's your brilliant plan now and he says actually I have no plan it's time for you to run I've spent years training my mind learning how to fight against monsters who would use me and she tells him that's right you're a superhero I forgot the two of them begin to kiss and Grayson says his goodbyes and then his mind begins to get taken over by dr. Daedalus back outside dr. Daedalus now in full control of Grayson's body stops wholly in a telling her it's a shame you didn't run fast enough by the way now that I'm in this body I can tell you the Grayson only truly loves a woman named Barbara Hellena spits in his face and kicks him away stating do you really think I care he tells her no I think you no longer exist somnus activate dr. Daedalus tells her soon his thoughts of precious satellite will make us so that no one remembers his name no records will carry his history they will erase his soul from this world and everyone will ask the question who is Dick Grayson he then hears a voice telling him that's a good question and then he begins to see nothing dr. Daedalus asks somnus what is this in Grayson tells him the satellite can't hear you you're in my mind our mind the world may have forgotten me but here that questions a bit more complicated isn't it so do you really want to know who Dick Grayson is well you're about to find out dr. Daedalus his body begins to change sprouting spider legs stating that he will be the greatest version of them but all the versions of Dick Grayson begin to attack him kicking and punching through his spider legs telling him that he's done dr. Daniels pulls out a gun telling him that the world is theirs to shape join him but Gracie says it's not everyday good to become a Nazi warlord I think I'm gonna have to pass as Nightwing punches dr. Daedalus down he tells him that this will be the last offer that he makes this will be the end the spiders begin to crawl out attacking the other versions of Grayson but the Nightwing one says it will be your end as well dr. Daedalus tells him that it's his kingdom he can't dare defeat him without destroying him the risk is too great Nightwing leans in telling him risk is what I do risk is Who I am and then he whispers the trigger word to deactivate the hypnose tsuchi-gumo just as he says a Grayson and dr. Daedalus his bodies begin to emerge and dr. Davis shouts no the world is at my hands I am the center but soon dr. Daedalus his body begins to crumble and fade as Grayson falls into darkness a week later Grayson begins to wake up in a room and he starts to walk outside when he opens the door he sees Elena telling him welcome back assuming you're Dick Grayson and not some bug faced Hitler in there she tells him that according to the world Dick Grayson never existed and according to spiral agents stop at 36 there is no agent 37 but to her he's unforgettable which is why she programmed it so that she would remember into the Somme to satellite while she was trapped she did make an exception though the family videos in Gotham remembers him but not many others just in case he tried to be a hero she goes on to state that what happened in the can so maybe a normal Tuesday but Danis was just in her head and he made her feel things a reminder of who she really was Grayson says a spy and she tells him no a Bertinelli after everything that's gone on they may be free from spiral but that doesn't mean they're truly free they have their own destinies and she can't wait to see who he's gonna be the next time they meet up and Grayson tells her you know what either can I will I be the Acrobat the sidekick the air the spy or maybe just a hero and now he's in an arcade with Damien who is super excited to see him dick and Damien have been hanging on the arcade while they catch up Damien has been traveling the world making amends for his year of blood which we all saw videos on while dick was undercover with spiral which we all saw videos on Damien asks dick about Elena Bertinelli she was his partner and then the head of the spy organization and once they discovered the master plan she worked with him to end it Damien asks you think she'll be keeping in touch but dick isn't sure after dr. Daedalus messed with her mind she seems to have other priorities flashback to three days ago when dick was packing his things and saying goodbye to the students at the school that was used as a cover for the spy organization spiral he went to hell lay in his room to knock in the door and say goodbye and she told him that she was feeling under the weather it would not be in the mood for a goodbye because she was actually putting on her Huntress outfit to get ready for her next mission to get revenge for the Bertinelli's and if you want to follow her go check out Batgirl and the birds of prey we already did a video on that back in the current times dick and Damian walked down downtown Gotham while Damian askes dick about the files a spiral had on all the secret identities of every superhero in the world but dickery assures him telling him that all of those files have been collected by Batman and they've been destroyed to make the situation even better dick trust the current head of spiral to keep his word that he won't explore the avenue again it's his old partner Tiger former agent one flashback to two days ago as dick tiger the synthetic assassin from The Syndicate and various other rookie agents were dropping a hive experimental research facility the rookies failed to stop the enemies and Tiger called them all almost as useless as Grayson himself ah thanks tiger Grayson says kicking a guy in the face that was about to stab tiger tiger allowed Grayson to come along even though he's not an active agent any longer and Grayson asked him about the device Tiger assured him that it is being handled so Grayson jumped on a drone and began to steer it away thanks Tony I have a flight to catch I told you not to call me that and with that he left his former partner in charge back in the current time at Wayne Manor the two boys walk in and Damian asks dick about the guy in all black dick tells him that his name was midnight and he prefers to be called dick Grayson's arch-nemesis and he's pretty sure he's gonna see him around flashback to the day before in the Alps when Grayson and Midnighter were fighting a weird monster and they defeated him mid nadir looks up the name of the project project killer corn you don't even trying anymore the two of them walked through the door technology teleporting them to the God garden a floating base up in space we're Midnighter functions out of and Grayson throws up from the door technology while min debtor throws the killer corn to the ground he then turns to Grayson here's the device the Gardner says will help the kid Grayson takes it and then Midnighter simply tells him it was fun being your Nemus to now go back to being a superhero you're too nice for the spy work Grayson back in the present day Grayson adamian sit down and Grayson sticks the device up Damien's nose where it removes a bomb placed there by the court of the Owls back in the days of robbing Wars Damien rubs his nose Ida made action figures in ice cream Batman walks over asking to do work which pisses off Damian since his father knew so where the court of owls now well Lincoln to March is standing in the labyrinth beneath Greece he goes on to state that they have Nightwing on their side now and new plans are in place everything will work beautifully from the shadows and then dixit dart to the eye another man walks forward telling him this isn't a party for you back in the Batcave Batman asks the Dick Grayson to be sure that he wants to do this dick tells him I do they felt they could threaten my family and get what they wanted they were wrong because Nightwing is back to inflate at the court of the owls and follow up on that storyline from Robin Wars our story begins in Romania with dr. Leviticus in her undead friend digging through graves looking for her strange coins as she finds them she hears a voice stating the Parliament will pay well for those and then the undead man is shot in the head doctor Leviticus turns back to see a gauntlet next to her head and the voice tells her what I want is to dig up the past and if I don't get what I want it will be you who is buried meanwhile over in Greece Dick Grayson aka Nightwing is summoned to the international branch of the court of the owls to discuss his less than satisfying results the court of Alice thinks that they owned it Grayson because they have threats against Damian Wayne the current Robin but what they don't know is that dick is really playing them recently the owls of Dubai found themselves the target of a thief an outlaw named a raptor however his skills were deemed useful and they were able to give him a financial counteroffer to have him work for the Owls instead after his mission is complete in Moscow dick will meet with Raptor and accept his assistance in partnership and that learned from him dick tells the man that they can make him join their little cult stop Cobra from expanding into their territory but just know that he won't be one of the talents he's going to do things his way before leaving for Moscow dick meets up with Barbara Gordon and to his surprise it was not a date because she's in costume to tell her that he's going to be going away for a bit of an undercover job she tells him that she thought he was done doing all of that undercover stuff he went through hell to get back his secret identity it's going to be dangerous and dick tells her everything they do is dangerous they're currently on a 275 foot high bridge soon Barbara hears on the scanner that there's a crime happening and tells dick that he had better at least get a rasuu veneer from this trip later as dick gets into Moscow he finds his target and he acquires the documents that he had but as he sits alone looking at the nesting doll with Barbara's name on it he hears a voice telling him that he's pretty cocky for dropping his guard rafter states that he's followed him ever since his running over in the square since he figured the danger was over the names Raptor your new partner dick gets up stating nice to meet you I told the Parliament that I would be doing this alone nothing personal but I've already had some of the best partners dick begins to leap up the wall but before he can go Raptor kicks him in the back slamming him into the wall from the ground at dick tries kicking butt Raptor grabs his legs and throws him off the side dick gets trying to hit him but Raptor just taunts him and holds out his gauntlet shooting gas with dick stunned rector cracks him across the face telling him that he needs to sit down shut up and listen because everything Batman taught you it's wrong as dick gathers his strength he begins to leave stating I hope you had your fun because I'm out and Raptor stops him stating wait isn't that what superheroes do fighting the team-up dick stops to listen and Raptor explains the Parliament gave him an assignment involving the covert unit they hijacked a ship over in the Black Sea belonging to a prominent member of the Parliament Raptor whistles for his aircraft telling dick you're a stranger here so you're gonna need me someone just spot you dick Figures why not he's got so much to teach him and what he learned from Batman is wrong what could go wrong the next morning Barbara calls up dick state and that she's going to be in Tokyo for a bit but when he's free she has a place of them to meet up so he can give her her present but in the meantime don't do anything dangerous he tells her me do something dangerous it's like you hardly know me Barbara shortly after dick and Raptor jump down into the Black Sea and dick notices a shark swimming a little close to them Raptor says not to worry these are common threshers and they're not known to attack but as the two of them swim off Raptor is suddenly pulled underwater dick rushes underneath and he sees Raptor struggling with a snake a man but before he can help Raptors gauntlet begins to click and then a red liquid sprays out covering the creature the Sharks from before swim over attacking is a snake man creature and dick asks Raptor I thought you said they didn't attack and Raptor tells them they don't but they do attack snake dudes who have just been sprayed to the shark attractant why would you even have that tool the two of them quietly sneak into a ship and dick decides that he'll do some investigating on his own and he heads into the lower levels as he enters into a medical room dick notices two people laying on the tables there and then he hears music coming from underneath one of them after pushing the table he finds a [ __ ] and behind him one of the bodies begins to get up and then another person starts to crawl out of the first ones stomach the one from the stomach grabs a scalpel and swings that dick but before she can hit drafter jumps in taking the blow after realizing what's going on dick throws one of his batons hitting the woman and Raptor says did you want to know what the Parliament had that Cobra wanted dick tells him yes but then Raptor notices the scalpel still inside of him and he says if this is how you watch the guys back to wonder Batman's still alive Raptor that explains that Cobras genetic research division is always looking for raw biological material they prefer The Forgotten people the one that no one will notice missing refugees the Parliament is creating a new nation a stronghold for the elite and these people will build those walls back in Greece the Parliament commends dickin raptor for the success and taking back the boat and hand them their next mission as they're leaving though raptor asks a question that is kind of on dicks mind you want the Parliament destroyed right well you need someone who's already got one foot in the dark a guy who just delivered innocent people to the claws of the Parliament dick funders I'm telling him shut up just tell me you have something something that could bring the Parliament into light grabbed her whistles for his aircraft and dick asks why should I trust you and he tells him because I've always been playing the long game the two of them then had to Norway for their next target not to run the world's most acclaimed designer of mazes the story of knot is that he got his fortune told by a Tara treater the reader scared him by telling him that one day an assassin would come and kill him so he turned his home into a giant trap filled amazed but before they head inside wrapped her notices something and swings to protect dick his arm though is caught and that he's slammed to the ground by Barbara Gordon where after fires a dart at her but dick tells him stop whoa whoa whoa let's skip the fight and then the team up thing can we just have a minute dick pulls Barbara side asking what she's doing and she tells him what the hell are you doing she tracked his phone signal here because he stood her up and she was worried dick explains that this is the undercover job that he was doing and things got kind of a little crazy but he's close and that's the important thing right now he then leans in to whisper that that house down below them there's a blueprint of the Parliament secret headquarters they want it destroyed but he's going to take it and finally put the Parliament in jail Raptor calls out that he doesn't want to be that guy but they should probably get going if they're gonna report back in the morning Barbara starts heading down to the house with them stating well I'm gonna join you you can't make a date then at least we're gonna do superhero stuff the three of them sneak into the mansion and they begin going through nuts and traps within his giant maze until they've reached the last room on the floor is another puzzle but this one is with tara cards once all three of them are inside the door shut in the ceiling against it ascent thinking back to nuts vision dick arranges the cards adjust as the reading would have told him with him dying in his home and just as the ceiling is about to crush them it stops where actor tells him it worked and then the lights go out and Barbara screams once the light comes back on dick sees barber on the ground and wrapped her nowhere in sight the two of them chase trapped her down the hallway and as they entered the room both of them stop and look horror as they see a raptor standing over a nuts body Barbara says to dick you just let an innocent man die dick runs over punching rafter and then on the screen the Parliament watches stating that they did a good job now the bat family will know Nightwing's moral failing the payment will be but then dick grabs raptor and slams his head into the monitor but before he can hit him again he says that's enough from behind them Knut gets up stating did I do a good job I tried real hard not to breathe dick asks what's going on and Raptor explains that he just used some of his fake blood that he keeps stored in his gauntlet the problem with not feeling pain is that it's easy to bleed out Raptor helps him up stating here's the deal the Parliament thinks he's dead and we saved your life so thank us and why don't you hand over that blueprint in return that's a thrid and leave Barbara yells a dick about how they're supposed to inspire fear in de criminals not help them play SiC pranks and steal money dick tries to defend himself but Barbara goes on stating that he pretended to be dead to infiltrate Spiral then he sold his soul to destroy the Parliament of owls swinging so far out it's like he doesn't want to come back as she leaves dick asks rafter why he didn't tell them sooner that he wanted to dismantle the Parliament and Raptor tells him because earning trust is shown by actions not words I told you everything Batman taught you was wrong dick asks now what and he tells them we should stop by my home before we go back to Greece a long time ago the court of the owls needed a way to keep track of whoever they gave their coffer to to do so they hired a mad inventor to make the Book of Wisdom unreadable to all but a select few but in my home I have dr. Leviticus the one who created the book once dick and Raptors sit down doctor Leviticus explains of the book of wisdom is something that she did in fact create but she's done other things like cure death aging even lactose intolerance a long time ago she found a way to bring the dead back using an alloy electrum and the owls wanted to use that for its immortality the buck would mechanically store information from the patterns on the coins but now the owls want her dead well more than dead so she built a copy of the book as well the only thing that they're all going to need are the coins later dick and Raptor are welcomed back to the Parliament Grove the Owls labyrinth by the orator he tells them that they did such a wonderful job then he tells them that it's finally coming time to celebrate the birth of the owls new nation a new nation needs their symbols their gods and these refugees will be the blood sacrifices the festivities will begin in the morning so until then they're welcome to eat and drink once they're left alone dick says that he's done playing the long game he's going to finish this tonight and Raptor tells him your instincts are right we do it tonight later that night the orator is woken up by a knock on the door when he opens it he's told the Dick Grayson and Raptor freed the rest from their cages okay that asks them if they told anyone else and they say no and then with a slash the two are far dead as the orator says that it could hurt his standing with the Parliament especially since he was recently promoted to God down in the labyrinth dick and Raptor led the captives out when said Lee if the order comes in crashing through the wall he shouts that there will be sacrifices made of the innocent and Dick says that that right there that's what you've been betting on the entire time dick the roses baton at the wall balancing and off hitting the orchard in the eye but he knocks him away and he slashes at his stomach suddenly a dart then hits the orator and he begins to fall over Raptor helps dick back up and he asks what was that and Raptor tells him the orders body has been conditioned to a simulate animal DNA so I ejected it with some animal DNA that I had lying around that shark attractant Raptor shouts for him to go before anyone notices but when they turn the corner dick sees it there in the center of the labyrinth is the box of coins dick grabs the box and Raptor tells him that he hopes he remembers how to get out because I'm having a real hard time right now thinking straight dick looks back he sees a cut on Raptors legs when the orator first attacked and Raptors bleeding out he begins to take off his gauntlet to give himself blood but while dick ties off the wound the order shot that he's going to make dick one of them the two quickly get up and they begin running but as they run to the exit Raptor stops and says I can't go on I'm a wanted man if I go out and escape with you they'll just put me back in a cage so go take the coins and leave and then raptor places his hand on Dick's chest and he pushes him out the door as he falls dick calls out I'm ready for beg of Jody and the voice tells him you should not be calling me that a glider flies out and dick catches it and he safely floats down to a waiting spiral agents however what dick doesn't know is that Raptor is still alive lady eve of cobra thanks him telling him the coins work the first names of the Parliament of owls are coming through and Raptor tells her the device that dr. Leviticus made that dick gave spiral has a little backdoor so every time they draw a name so will she lady even asks what about Nightwing and Raptor tells her don't worry your pretty little head I've got him wrapped around my finger our story begins as Sydney Tower in Sydney Australia as dick heads out to meet with Tiger for a bust on the Parliament of the owls but as the two of them get ready to move in they hear a scream and then a giant Cobra creature charges out of the doors dick fights it off and Tiger looks at it stating I've never seen this before it's a Cobra convert genetically enhanced assassin just then dick looks into the room where the owls were and sees them all dead seconds later Tiger gets a call from headquarters stating that they found something it seems that the Book of Wisdom has a backdoor transmitter on it whenever they recovered a name from the coins it seemed it got sent somewhere else as well but before Tiger can question dick about it he sees dick already jumped off the balcony later over at Raptors hide on Raptor sees dick and he offers him a beer dick tells him that he knows that he rigged the book he knows that he used him as dick grabs him Raptor pulls away stating hey I didn't murder anyone I sold the names to Cobra and they donated the money to help refugees ones that the Parliament enslaved and exploited dick knocks Raptor through a wall stating it's not for you to decide that's where the justice system raptor just last hahahaha fighting back stating you're just going through Batman's version of justice all that will happen is the rich bastards will get a high-powered lawyers to help them get a slap on the wrist he goes on stating this is my kind of justice the kind your mother would have wanted the to continue punching back and forth knocking each other through the walls until Raptor tells him you see I got all kinds of hobbies if you're one of them dick looks up and he sees news articles from back when he was in the circus everything that's happened to him since his parents died and everything up to becoming Nightwing dick turns back and grabs raptor by the collar punching him repeatedly telling him to take this mask off so he can see the real him then Raptor manages to push him away stating I was gonna show you when you were ready but now is not the time Eddie pricks his neck as dick falls to his knees Raptor goes on stating all those things you got from Batman Bruce Wayne they all make you weaker dick reaches out but then the drug takes over and he closes his eyes all begin here's Raptor stating you just need everything taken away from you over in Gotham Bruce Wayne gets ready to give a speech regarding their recent attack before you can get into it a voice calls out to him from the crown the man asks what do you have to say but the fact that the damage done to the city where the monsters is nothing compared to what you and the one-percenters have done rafter then pulls his hood down and takes out the security guards telling Bruce what do you say about taking in orphans or stripping away their culture to make little extensions of yourself he then pushes forward grabbing Bruce by the neck whispering I know you're Batman so how about we get along with this Bruce clenches his fist and then he releases it allowing himself to be captured back a trappers hideout dick begins to wake up as Damian screams into the radio he says that his father's been kidnapped so if they hurry the dick tells them I need to do this alone this is more than me and Bruce this is about Raptor in my mom a little while later Bruce sits up in his chair strapped down as Raptor tells him how he completely disarmed him down to his laser cutting tool in his watch Raptor goes on telling Bruce you took Dick Grayson from his home his people you raised him in a world of privilege you turned him into a weapon for the rich against the poor and desperate you ruined Dick Grayson so it's time for Batman to face real justice he continues stating even now the people at Wayne Enterprises went to work making a cover of story stating a Bruce Wayne shown willing submission to prove his selflessness to everyone with that Wayne text stock price rose and with this lift once it reaches $200 you'll be trumped but just before he presses the button a crack can be heard and Raptor catches one of dicks batons he tells him it's time for your final but then a second one flies it hitting Raptor right in the head cracking his mask he says fine it's only fair seeing the eyes that have watched you all of these years tick runs in uppercutting Raptor and that he runs over to check on Bruce but a raptor tells a no this is what they want and he hits the switch Bruce's chair suddenly launches into the air out of Dick's reach and then he knocks tick away going on about how this is what they want they want to break the poor down so that they'll come running and worship the rich offering everything to them the two continue going at it and Raptor starts to overpower dick but as they fight Croucher continues to talk about how even with his disease the government wouldn't help the poor with drugs even after everyone left there was one who came by and picked him up it was dicks mother Mary and the two of them stole the medicine that was supposed to be given to them as well as whatever else they felt that they wanted from the mayor's home so from that audio watch from the shadows to protect her till she was killed by a selfish man who didn't get money that wasn't his dick then smile stating I was madee for all the Downton pain you caused but it's really you who's in more pain than me isn't it you loved my mother and when she died you blamed herself until you could finally blame someone else dick grabs a pike cracking rafter across the face stating the thing with Bruce though is that he raised me to not be like him we saved each other so that I wouldn't cross into the shadows like you have rapture picks himself up telling dick to shut up you don't even know me you're right I don't even know your real name rapture starts to swing and dick tells them you don't have to do this I know you don't feel pain but dick then breaks his arms and legs leaving him there so that he can go say Bruce back at the Lived Bruce tries to pick the lock as the stock price continues to rise though he picks it to get up he has nowhere to go he begins the let go is the chair begins to fall and dick swings in grabbing him before he hits the ground a little while later Tiger shows up stating that Raptor it has a pretty clever device so they're gonna confiscate it but since Raptors wanted a 17 countries Tiger can forgive dick for his hasty exit back in Sydney Tiger then turns to Bruce dating just in case Raptor says some nonsense about him being Batman they have the technology that can make him change his mind dick and Bruce watch as Tiger takes off and he tells Bruce this is all his fault he almost got him killed he almost fell for Bruce puts his hand on Dick's shoulder telling him you didn't I jumped I jumped because I knew that you would catch me it was a late night in Bludhaven as Paul sits in his office on a call regarding the most recent weapons shipment to a client as a buzz at the back door and Paul tells his client to hang on a second his take out just arrived as he opens the door he doesn't see anyone and then he suddenly pulled out the man on the phone begins asking if everything's okay but all he can do is hear Paul screaming the next morning dick heads over to blüdhaven Community Center to apply as a counselor as he sits in the office Sean sang says that his resume looks really good but her only question is why did he come here from Gotha it's rare for people from Gotham to make their way here let along apply for volunteer positions dick thinks about it and he wants to tell her that he's here so that he can work on trusting people again with the things that he's done and the people that he's met people have died and he's begun to question his own judgment but rather than stating that he says that it's because of that new tourist campaign had really got his blood up get it ha he last stated that he started for the bad jokes but Sean tells him that it's okay she tends to get a little suspicious with everyone real bad habit she then extends her arm welcome him to the long hours European non existent benefits as the two go on there's a knock at the door as James nice introduces himself and says that he's sorry that he needs to borrow Sean for a quick meeting James tells dick that if he's looking for something to do tonight there's plenty of after-dark entertainment in blood as dick leaves he says that he appreciates it but he's not really much for the nightlife he heads off and James turns back to Sean telling her that he really just wanted to talk to her about tonight he thinks it's time to wear the costumes Sean says that she's not really sure they're ready for it but James tells her that they've already lost grace it could be something to help face their monsters together even for her later dick begins setting up his new apartment and he enjoys the life of not having to put a costume on in the evening as 8:30 turns to 8:40 dick realizes that this could actually get pretty boring while laying in bed he hears the sounds of sirens and decides that maybe just this once he'll go out surely he can figure himself out on a single night anyway after suiting up dick listens to the police scanner to hear that there have been reports of a murder of Paul Petrino who was brutally beaten and had his bones broken in 39 places the report goes on to state that the strength used to beat him was inhuman dick lands on a nearby building and here's something from the shadows Marilla Grimm jumps out and ready to attack dick tells himself that he knows who this is him and Batman kicked this guerrillas but on more than one occasion but it's strange that he would here in Bludhaven dick easily dodged the attack city pins grim down as the police arrived in grim shouts he didn't do it he's try to stay clean that's why he gave to the city as the officers pick up gorillas grim one tells dick thanks for the assist but they are only going to be nice this once they don't deal with the tights' tights' around here in Bludhaven but before the officers can take him away grim pulls away telling dick that he's got to do something go talk to Shawn Tseng she'll know what to do and as he says that the officer tases him and takes him away a little while later over at the community center Shawn tells herself that they're going to be here soon she can do this and the door to her office suddenly opens up his dick walks in stating hey we need to talk she turns around shouting Nightwing and that's when dick sees that Shawn is another one of his old villains that a face her she shouts for him to get out of there because she would rather not hear anything that he has to say he could ruin everything that the runoffs have worked so hard for and as dick begins to question who stallion charges through the door knocking dick to the ground he grabs onto stallions Hannah and he throws him into a mirror and Shawn runs over telling stallion to calm down don't do anything stupid remember all that we've done in group remember the man on the inside Stalin looks at one of the broken shards in the mirror and he says that he's done it again why can't he get this through his thick skull Shawn tries to comfort him and then tells dick look at what you've done these people came here to get away from Batman and all the others another voice tells everyone to calm down and James walks in with the other runoffs explaining Nightwing this is a support group for former super villains of Gotham Shawn starts pulling dick away telling everyone it's alright Nightwing was stopping by just by mistake Mouse then speaks up stating that maybe since he's here he can help them with the conspiracy dick asks what did she mean and Shawn push his dick out telling him you've already caused enough trouble here as dick is leaving he thinks about how these people are terrified of just the sight of him but then again that's how everyone treats you when you're with the bad family once outside James runs out asking dicta wait he just wanted to tell him something before he can go all of the people here are because of Nightwing and these do need help the police don't listen to them but they would listen to Nate Wayne they already lost grace to the whale Ender's Game dick tells him no he just recently got wrapped up with a criminal and but James stops I'm telling him that he too was on the wrong path but the run off saved him so maybe they can save Nightwing as well dick says fine he'll help but after that he's gonna walk and then he asks if there's anything they they noticed different about grim James says that grim was trying but he did have relapses the other night he was at Meadow Dale mall where nothing good ever happens dick decides to head over there to find that it is actually an illegal street market though the cops do nothing so long as the residence stay away from the boardwalk in the city after a bit of asking around dick finds a woman who Grimm used to hire he pays her and asks how did that work and she tells him to get his mind out of the gutter he just liked to act out little scenarios like King Kong kind of things said it helped him remain secure to his gorilla hood she tells dick that she can show him where Grimm lives for a little extra the woman's directions lead to the old Wailers dunk where Grimm lived in one of the shipping containers as dick looks around he notices a shipping building that has security cameras on it which could possibly place him here at the time of the murder he sneaks in to check out the security footage but he sees that the tapes at the time of the murder are currently signed out the records show that it wasn't the police who took it the person who did smeared their name was some sort of liquid that smells like horses as the Sun rises dick decides that his best ajiz call it a night and the next night Shawn tells the rest of the runoffs to have a good night as they leave their meeting through the shadows dick steps out stated that he wanted to wait until they were gone and Shawn says that's nice of him but maybe they are not just the only ones who's been traumatized dick tells so that he knows back then he was wearing a different set of shorts when he first met her an arrest her but right now he's here because he needs to talk to someone he goes on stating that he's having a lot of trouble trusting people and it feels like he may be a lot like the runoffs really what he's trying to state is that he feels Grimm as innocent and he's going to help him whether they like it or not because helping the runoffs could help him - Shawn tells him back when she was taken away by the police she was so mad at him that she couldn't see it but the look in his eyes was something like what if they had met under different circumstances dick says like what if it were just us she leans in telling him yeah but the sirens begin to blare as two police cars pull up and it tells Shawn that they would like her to come with them as she's currently a suspect in a murder dick tries to stop the Michonne tells him that he'll figure this out one of the officers then pushes dick back telling him that he can go back to Gotham this is the job for the real police no ad campaigns as he points to a billboard that has Nightwing on it a little while later detective atleast arrives at the most recent crime scene of Robert Chapman with defaces tags sprayed all over the place but before she can even drink her coffee dick appears behind her stating that they need to honk and he's a little sorry for scaring her she tells him it's alright that coffee was crap anyway but he is contaminating a crime scene he looks around and asks why would it matter they've already taken their photos and decided that it was Sean some police says well given the circumstances here this is her work but as dick finishes up and gets ready to leave he tells her that that might be an easy way to look at it but if she looks harder she'll find that something isn't right after leaving the crime scene heads over to James nice his house to let him know what happened to Sean and he asks how did nightwing know where he lived dick tells him I am a detective you know after explaining the situation dick then says that someone is setting up the runoffs so they need to have a meeting tomorrow night James tells them that that won't be a problem and then it asks dick if he remembers when he said that he came from a dark place six years ago James was driving with his girlfriend and he was using a lot of drugs and he ended up crashing their car though he walked away Jamie didn't and his case was thrown out over a technicality even though he was guilty of killing her he then says that he knows that he volunteers to help the runoffs but what if they weren't innocent dick tells him that when Sean was taken he saw the look in her face and it wasn't guilt it was faith the next night everyone decides to gather up and dick tells everyone thanks for coming to meet me but stallion stops him telling him we're here for Sean and Grimm not you dick decides to tell everyone that's fine but right now they're gonna need to tell him everything about this conspiracy as everyone speaks up they all explain how a few weeks ago grimm was approached by Paul for a job which Grimm took when Grimm went to the meeting in Evolved acre of blood Haven businessman Paul for the import/export trade Robert Chapman as the mob lawyer in Carter Forsyth who handled real estate while Paul was handling the arms trafficking Carter laundered the money through his business as soon they made contact with Roberts contacts this secondhand but there was also a fourth silent partner who was upset about missing the shipment dick tells everyone that with this information he needs to go find Carter because he has to know something but before leaving Stalley and says that he'll go with them to make sure that he doesn't get stumped on and mouse speaks up stating negging you're like us for leaving Gotham so right now you're one of the runoffs over at Carter's construction site Carter begins packing up his paperwork telling his assistant that they need a hurry then there's a sudden thump at the door and stallion punches it down telling everyone howdy Carter shouts asking if he knows who he is and dick with the rest of the runoff steps in stating that he's the guy who's going to be telling them who killed Paul and Robert dick grabs him and Carter says that it wasn't him that's why he's trying to get the hell out of he didn't notice he's shaking here that is another thump in the trailer begins to shake knocking everyone down a voice tells dick that he shouldn't have come here and as Orca picks him up she tells him hey up in the sea amongst us dick remembers that this is actually grace bail in a marine biologist who sliced her own DNA with that of a killer whale to repair a spinal cord injury but as dick dodges a forklift thrown at him he's hit in the back of the head with a pipe by one of the way lenders gang members grace gets ready to attack but stallion jumps on her telling dick that he better be quick because again hold her for long while grace tries to get stallion off and dick fights off the gang members as Juana rides up on his bike grace manages thirst and laid off and mouse jumps in to try and stop her but as grace catches her and tosses her to the other side dick runs in to protect her and grace starts beating down on him through her punches Jesus squirrel runs up Grace's back with a pair of headphones and then there's a booming screeching sound grace fall story needs and wanna ask - what was that and guest says that he just played the sound I'm an air gun at 300 s opposed as the fight ends Juan mentions that his bike is missing along with Carter elsewhere in an ally Carter runs off but someone on Juan's bike wearing Juan's mask runs him over dick in the runoffs quickly managed to find Carter but it's already too late as everyone turns around Carter suddenly gets coughing and dick shots he's alive Juan says that he has some first aid on him and Carter tells him that that isn't going to do much he then says that he didn't get a look at who it was but there's one more of them they need to hurry and stop the murderer before they get their silent partner mayor a magical and then Carter slumps over as he draws his last breath dick tells everyone that they did a good job with grace back there now they just need to go to but Mouse stops him stating no one is going to help them people are just going to see them as villains and the runoff Salif over at blood Haven PD ELISA - Shawn telling her that even though she feels the police force don't need help something Nightwing told her is strange the positions of all of the recent victims heads were all turned to the left and after some digging in the past five years the solved murders all had their victims heads turned to the left as well and right now it seems like they may actually have a killer running the streets over at the mayor's office magical looks out his office building when he notices the cops arriving there he tells the person on the phone that he's gonna have to call them back when there's a sudden flash of light the officers on the ground see the flash they asked what it could be and another one says that he's not sure but someone called in with an anonymous tip that the mayor is in danger they then watch as dick crashes into the office and they ask if they think that it could be once dick gets up he looks over at their mayor to see someone holding him wearing a Robin mask the man holding the mayor then turns away blasting at dick dick dodges the attack and he runs up hitting the man's arm holding the device that he just used as he beats him down he says that he knows where all of the missing weapons went the guards made him as strong as a gorilla the tella tube allowed him to move from scene to scene and right now he's trying to frame him Nightwing as the two struggle the man extends that mechanical arm grabbing the mayor and pushing him out the window dick runs over to the window but then he sees Shaun fly by grabbing ahold of him the man runs over grabbing dick by the back of the head telling him that he just let an evil man get away the guilty must be punished as the man throws dick aside dick manages to grab the mask ripping it off and as the city advertisers run into the office everyone looks over to see James nice the officers all begin charging into the room telling everyone to get down but James grabs the female advertiser and tala tubes out of there the officer shot for dick not to move but he runs and jumps out the window as the officers opened fire on him after checking away into an alley a hand reaches out grabbing him and Shawn tells him to get over here she tells him that she dropped the mayor off and it looks like someone's been setting them all up dick says that he knows who it is it's James but how does she get here and then dick hears a click of a gun and Elise says that she owed him but he also owes her some coffee so how about they go for a ride a short while later Elise is driving Shaun telling an officer that she needs to go ahead and drop their suspect off at their arraignment as she drives off Shawn asks Elise if they could just let dick back in and she says no they can't have him be seen he needs to stay under the car for now during the ride Elise asks Shaun how does she know where to go and Shaun says that James handled their budgets for the community centre there his money moved around but there was a property purchased listed as a quiet reflection project the strange thing was why would anyone buy property to relax in an industrial wasteland like rail peninsula meanwhile in that building at the rail peninsula the woman sherry asks where are they James tells her that she's the head of the tourism department she should know but just know that they are far away from that superhero that she's putting up on the billboards cherry says that she told him about the corruption of the mayor and the others she helped him and James tells her that she did help him but she too is guilty he changes masks and cherry grabs an energy drink stating that she had this flavor called winter cherry which is funny because of her name and then she splashes it onto James's face he fires a few blasts but cherry gets up and runs not long after that dick and Shawn make their way into the facility and they find cherry trying to escape Shawn says it it looks like she's about to fall over but dick catches her and cherry says that she'll be fine she just needs a little pick-me-up energy drink she takes it out and says for Gift of smell someone says that it smells like and dick finishes her sentence stating horses he then says that she's the one from the ledger cherry says that she's sorry once everything started she didn't know how to stop him she then goes on stating that all of the recent advertising with Nightwing on the billboards was for him to try and save Bludhaven from her and James James jumps out of the tell a tube telling her that it's too late nothing could save her now dick jumps in the way to block James his attack but James punches and knocks him away Shawn runs up grabbing James telling him that she never really did like him anyway but as James struggles he picks her up but he slaves or against the wall he raises his blaster strikes Shawn but then a grappling hook catches it and pulls it back dick shouts for Shawn to get Jerry out of there and James runs in tackling dick into the teletoon as the two of them pop out James says that this is where it all happened this is where his girlfriend died he then cracks a dick in the head with a blaster stated that all he had to do was pay the officer who arrived so no one would punish him and because of that he had to punish all of them James that holds a mirror down to Dick's face telling him everyone has to look at the monster in the mirror so what is it that Nightwing's guilty of dick says that he's guilty of trusting people like him and that he looks in the mirror and he sees a human one who makes mistakes one who tries to do better dick tries to pick himself back up stating that maybe he should look into his own reflection and Elise's voice shouts for James to freeze but as James turns back he charges up to fire another blast Elise fires her gun and the bullet hits the blaster causing the blaster to backfire blowing shards of glass into James's face James screams that I'm paying eighty strips over the ledge of the bridge but before falling dick runs over there and catches him a little while later the news crew shows up and Elise tells the news that the officers here single-handedly took down the villains she just wants to tell the people to blüdhaven that they are safe from crime without the help of superheroes the next day after the group session dick goes to see Shawn to help her with moving her things she says that even though she was released it seems like published service didn't like the idea that she was a murder suspect dick tells her that he'll do anything he can to get her back in as soon as possible they both look up with a billboard of Nightwing being taken down and Shawn says that she's gonna miss seeing that guy around dick thinks how he wants to say that he is Knight and that he's not leaving because he wants her to know who he really is but as he walks off he just says yeah Nightwing's all right Sean grabs dick by the arm telling him don't be stupid and kisses him she then says that when she got arrested he saw her for who she was back then as Robin she can do the same for him so with things settled dick Figures that he'll stick around as Nightwing and Bludhaven even if it is more in the shadows and as the night sets and he swings off on his patrol a man watch a stating pen it looks like he decided to stay too bad there's only room in this city for one of them late at night dick and Shawn to kiss hanging off on a flagpole and dick thinks of the only bad thing about hanging a hundred feet above ground or so actually there's nothing wrong about kissing Shawn after setting her back down in her apartment dick tell Shawn that he just received a call about a robbery in progress he's got to go spank some bad guys he swings off and John tells him wait she's been bad too so dick just laughs telling her that he'll save some for her as he hurries off she sighs stating that maybe then they can talk earlier that morning in San Francisco at Titans Tower the Titans lounge around and Beast Boy tells Damien that he seems a bit distracted as Damien grabs a handful of peanuts he says don't be ridiculous I'm just seeing how people are saying about me I'm chipper it flips through the feeds and he sees people praising him for taking over the Teen Titans but then the conversation switches to Nightwing as being the better Robin and how he should have been the one to take up Batman's mantle and then the tags hashtag the original Robin and hashtag best Robin start trending and Damian being as deshone what is this he jumps up asking the rest of the Teen Titans if Batman was to ever retire who would they assume is going to take the mantle they all think about it and say probably Nightwing Damian throws his phone with the ground shattering it and he tells everyone that he'll be back he has an appointment in Bludhaven back in Bludhaven dick responds to the robbery call finding the four men wearing Horus masks posed as the four horsemen robbing an armored truck it doesn't take dick long to take their group down but as one of them manages to get back up he subtly kicked by a green boot Damian says bam in a Bludhaven huh and dick shouts it's so good to see what brings you to town Damian scoffs it's certainly not the caliber of criminals he then goes on saying that he's heard of what he's doing here with his old enemies so if he's planning on becoming Batman he's getting off to a fourth storm dick tells him to give him just a second he he missed a call and afterwards they can talk as dick listens is a message from Shawn stating that she didn't want to ruin the mood or anything but she's late like really late dicks eyes widen as the message plays and at the end Sean tells dick to come over when he gets a chance bring a pregnancy test dick hangs up the phone and Damian goes on asking if he really thinks that he can take the mantle from him but still his legacy dick doesn't answer it he says I gotta go Damian grabs his shoulders to dick flips him to the ground telling him he doesn't have time for ah meltdown you're a self-absorbed thirteen-year-old with raging hormones and I really need to go now dick that hooks onto a building and he jumps off telling Danny and you just wait for the cops I'll meet you at my apartment in an hour a few moments later dick sneaks back into Sean's apartment telling her hey the only guy who comes through your living room window is here and as he walks through the apartment she doesn't answer so he calls out saying ok not answering me is really starting to freak me out now and then he sees Sean's phone on the ground when he tries to pick it up he looks into her studio and sees one of her paintings with the word a daddy spray painted across it a short while later Damien crawls through the same window that dick entered in and he says that he didn't know the address we just followed and but before Damien can get very far he sees his dick crying on the ground through his tears he quietly says she's gone Damien walks up telling him that he scouted the place like he normally does when he enters and there was no signs of a break-in and judging by the painting she's the artistic type so typically flighty and always chasing drum dick hands over the merry Adventures of Robin Hood book that he gave Sean and he tells Damien that he's 13 and doesn't know what he's talking about dick leaves thinking that whoever took Sean left the coordinates inside of the book and the coordinates lead to richard the lionheart score a v' over in france as dick lands on a building damien tells him I'm coming with and dick tells him that he's not I'm not dealing with another hissy fit so damia stops him telling him our worlds have changed Drake has gone Duke is in the mansion and I'm stationed in San Francisco with the Titans however the one thing that's the same as your attitude you're gonna get yourself killed too that helped dick doesn't fine but I have one question did you steal the old Batmobile and Damian tells him deed I did now let's get going however back with the four robbers the man from before wearing dicks old costume kills the men stating that this broken city needed Nightwing and now a broken Nightwing needs death two week later as the two of them reach western France to begin their investigation to find it a coordinates have brought them to the tomb of Richard the first he was a real-life king who often had roles in Robin Hood storylines the problem is no one's there Damian scans one of the tombs and he says that someone is inside so dick tries to push Damian away and Damian pushes back telling him to wait based on the temperature variations whoever is in that tomb has no face suddenly a voice shouts oh they do have a face it's the face of Dick Grayson the face of Deathwing the man wearing dicks cost of jumps out of the tomb grabbing Damien stating that he knew that he would come you would do what I would do just not as well dick starts to fight against Deathwing trying to free Jamie but just we mused Damien as a shield and when dick throws his punches after cracking an elbow into Deathwing's face take finally freeze Damien and he tells him that he needs to get back definitely pulls out his batons but at the end of them are blades and he runs through slashing a dicks back Damien tries to attack but Deathwing knocks him away into the tomb that they just came out of dick gets back up trying to get ahold of Damien but Deathwing kicks him in the face stabbing the blaze from the batons into the tomb breaking them off and nailing the lid shut dick charges into death wings back asking who are you who made you think you were Nightwing and where's Shaun as the dick slams his batons into Deathwing's skull death wind reaches back at Dick's face stating that Shaun has nothing to do with this she's just the last thing standing in my way of making Nightwing become death Wayne dick gets back up shouting you're delusional programmed tell me where Shaun is and I can help but as dick charges back at Deathwing Deathwing says but I can't tell you I can only show you what's to come he grazes dicks forehead with a small dagger and subtly dicks eyes go wide dick begins to see him but different versions of him some good and some bad he tries to speak asking where Shaun but his words trail off Deathwing raises the dagger telling dick to become the man that he's become you're gonna have to suffer loss and fall farther than the ground farther than hell but before death man can plunge the dagger down a voice shouts no another person in an old Robin costume kicks Deathwing telling him not while Robin lives Damian runs up shouting that fool nailed the lid down but he compromised the structural integrity though the same cannot be said about your forehead dick can hardly say anything in his current state of mind and he asks who are you and Damian says let's meet you fool where have you been on the other side of the room Deathwing picks himself up telling the fake Robin you're a mistake even he said so you don't have his blood the fake Robin pulls out the blade of a toss telling him no but I will Damian start shaking dick telling him to snap out of it he's Damian Robin to his Batman we're the greatest team ever finding a new partner considering having a child that replaced me I don't want to be alone I need you dick slowly starts to come out of it asking what happened and Damion tells him nothing nothing happened but this is insanity the two-seed Deathwing ready to kill the fake Robin and they rushed over knocking him out freeing him dick reaches down to help the fake Robin up stating that there's no need to fight and the fake Robin begins to remove the skin mask saying of course not we simply loose as the mask comes off the boy says that his name is Danish and his father was a truck driver no his name is Damian Wayne at his father's Batman after looking at the fake Robin's face dick knew who made these dalla Ultron copies of Emma Damian Shawn was kidnapped by one of the sickest minds at him and Damian have ever encountered professor Pig a short while later in another part of Paris professor Pig stanza Shawn shouting to his da lo Tron's soon we will have a new addition to the gallery one of the dalla Tron's breaks their glasses grabbing the sharp edges and begins walking towards Shawn when suddenly there's a voice calling out to Pig what do we do with little piggies Nightwing we make them squeal all the way home dick and Damian crash through one of the windows and they begin taking out the doll Oh Tron's but while the two of them handled the dial Oh Tron's pigs turns back to Shawn and begins to pull out a small blade and he gets ready to thrust it down onto her dick calls out to her but then a Batarang is thrown cutting her ropes just as pig swings Shawn steps out of the way and trips him dick tells Damian thanks and Damian responds telling him totally practical I am the better shot meanwhile outside the fake Robin watches over Deathwing and Deathwing asks if you enjoying the show down there your little backstabber the fake Robin asks how did you and Deathwing tells him it's the acid and the doll Oh Tron masks that pig gave us tape really doesn't stand a chance just imagine what it's going to do to our real faces the fake Robin then asks so you know Deathwing says I know that you lived your life as Damian Wayne the son of Batman but before that you're someone else the fake Robin says yeah I was the son of a truck driver from Manchester whatever a pig did to us it did not erase all of what I was I remember going to school playing football with my brother tarik and I remember my father so what can you remember Deathwing looks down telling him I Joe remember all I remember is that I was a failure Deathwing starts to hit the back of his head against the stone wall of the fake Rob and tells him that he has to fight for himself fight to remember who he was and after a few hits doing asks where am i why am I tied up Tanish please help didn't ish then cuts the ropes telling him you're free now free to remember who you were and Deathwing doesn't yes I had a purpose not to make Dick Grayson better but to be better and he starts to choke Denish back inside Shaun sprays pig in the face of paint he kicks it with the groin finally putting it into the fight dick shouts on the floor are you all right and Shaun asks if that was the Robin that he's talking about because she thought that he would be taller that's the to hug Damian turns back saying black however as she looks out she sees Damian taking off and rushes out dick asks where is he going and Damian says you just wanted your girl well now you got her to stay here once outside Damian runs down the alleyway shouting only I could steal the Batmobile and then he feels a rock hit him in the back of the head Deathwing calls down telling him that it's a neat trick having it voice-activated since I'm a dead match for a Nightwing Deathwing jumps down but before Damian can attack is his delicious bloody mask Damian shouts it was just a child you're gonna pay for that with your life but before Damian can even finish his sentence there's a gunshot Damian falls on the ground a shadowy figure walks over telling them that there was only one path by which Richard Grayson will reach his true potential Robin dies at dawn a short while later dick and Shawn head out to look for Damian but that's when they see Dan Isha's body in the trash pile dick turns and slams the pig into a wall asking what's going on where's Robin and Pig says that there's another patron I was his physician made of pain he is dr. Simon hurt few days later over in Egypt dick and Shawn are on a guided tour dick says that he can't wait to see the Sun Rise over the ruins and the guide last telling him that they will see things that they will remember for the rest of their lives subtly thieves jump out of the sand and dick starts to take the men out one of the men pulls out a knife but after still suffering an injury from fighting Pig he trips and falls just as the man can strike down Shawn runs up and kicks him with a blast from her rocket shoes the thief flies off and then the guide crawls away but dick grabs him telling him that was a pretty crappy tour he goes on telling the guide I'm a superhero and I would never threaten someone's life for information she's in a face who though she's a genuine supervillain Shawn holds the rocket over the man's face and asks where can they find dr. hurt after tying the rest of the men up the two jump down a hidden shaft and Shawn quotes the book hope be it ever so faint bringeth a gleam into darkness dick asks so you read it and Shawn tells him that she understands where he got his hokey goody-goody worldview and told her a lot about how he looks up to old-fashioned heroes and what they stand for if he would make a good role model as well as a good father Shawn goes on saying that's why she's here for him in Robin she needs to know that she would stand up for something and it would be four good moments as the two walk down into the temple dick says that she's always standing up but then there's a sudden crash one of the statutes falls over where Shawn was walking and dick shouts no no no no Deathwing calls out that she only kept him from reaching his fully realized form so that is why he had to drop a statue on her dick manages to kick Deathwing back and as he does he runs over to where the statue fell Shawn holds the statue from falling holding out her legs pushing it back with her rocket boots dick holds up the statue and as he does he can feel his ankle being crushed after letting the statue down Deathwing runs away hacking at dick telling him that's the difference between us Nightwing has a weakness Deathwing doesn't dick pulls out his knife that was used on him and he charges at death Wayne telling him you're not a better version of me you're just a failed me the two crashed into the stone pillar as the knife cuts into Deathwing's face and the death wing drops to the ground shouting oh sorry please don't hit me Shawn runs over to check on him and says that whatever the knife did to him back then it's doing that to Deathwing right now he's just another lost child she then tells dick to go ahead she'll stay here with Deathwing and dick tells her that Deathwing can't be trusted Shawn looks back and says look at him he's lost alone and scared this is what I do dick decides that he's going to push on ahead thinking about how dr. hurt is just trying to make him hate himself experience an array of tragedies to see what he could have been dick Dan walks down the hallway where he finds more dalla Tron's all dressed as versions of him pointing and telling him come see come see dick steps into the altar room and shouts at dr. hurt they got here before dawn dr. hurt steps aside showing Damian on the altar holding up a bloody knife telling him sadly I tend to jump the gun when I'm excited dick Shastra Damian and he runs at him and as he does dick begins to fall through the ground and dr. hurt tells him to awaken fall into a hell of hells and to be strong enough all back to his body as dick starts to get lost in his own mind dr. Hurst says you will live this tragedy over and over so that you can become a finely tempered weapon if you are to survive the dawn that is to come back outside Deathwing begins to scream and Shawn asks what's wrong is there something that I can call you besides death the wing and death wing tells me that he doesn't remember much from before but why is she here helping him he attacked her and vandalized her paintings Shawn says that even if that is true he's a victim like the Dalit Ron's death urban goes on saying that there is one thing that he remembers and before this he was no one he chose to do this he jumps up grabbing the dagger shouting therefore the things that he did it in ish he needs to die Shawn grabs him by the shoulder telling him that she knows how he feels she was hurt once too but now she owes who she is in a tones for it he could do the same inside dicks mind dick stands over a beaten pig telling him this will end my pain but before he can strike down a battering has thrown from a helmet wearing Nightwing Nightwing begins hitting dick racing telling him that he won't let him killed hick so Dick Grayson jumps on top of Nightwing beating into his face shouting you can't be Nightwing playing hero means you lose everyone including yourself now die and as dick looks down at the broken helmet he sees Damian he shouts back that it's just another trick but before he can punch down Damian grabs his hand he asks ed this is really what he wants to become a pathetic mockery of what he once was Damian starts to hit dick shouting guilt fear their anchors dragging you down and the more dick tries to fight back the more Damian beats down on him as dicks it's broken Damian tells him that he needs to remember what he first said when they met remember and dick says you're right I've been hurt I've lost the people that I've loved but that's not what makes so Robin dick cracks doctor hurt in the face yelling I will never let myself be defined by tragedy and Shawn's voice calls out to dick but when he turns back Shawn says that Robin he's still alive dick runs over to the altar yelling for Damian to wake up Damian looks over and he struggles as he tells dick you're an idiot I was simply in a deep trance repairing the damage Shawn says but he stabs you like in death parts and Damian begins to get up telling him it's only a flesh wound all I did was simply contract my muscles to move my liver out of the way and dick shouts you could do that doctor hurt then sir to pull a gun telling them no Robin will be no use in the days to come he's too stubborn and proud of his father then a voice tells him that that reminds him of a kid that he met named Dan ish Deathwing appears that I know we're punching dr. hurt and hurt spins back hitting him with the pistol shouting that he has nothing more than a pathetic creature nothing more than a dry run Deathwing pulls out the dagger from before stating that he thought that he could fix a broken Nightwing but being Nightwing fixed a broken him Deathwing thrust the dagger into hurt and hurt chef that he won't be back alone he will drag him down as well he pulls out his own knife and he stabs it into Deathwing's chest before the others can help the temple Vig is the shake and crumble and the three of them Shawn Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne all escape outside seconds after the escape everyone watches the underground temple collapse on itself and Shawn asks where did dr. hurt and Deathwing go a few days later in Bludhaven Sean tells dick that the pregnancy test came back negative but for now she will still need a little space alone and as the night sets dick and Damian look out onto the city and Damien says that he's going to be coming back soon his father confiscated the Batmobile Damian goes on telling him that was wrong and yes I'm admitting that I made a mistake by coming here as I did perhaps I was just looking for an excuse to and dick smiles telling him oh just missed me and Damian tells him if you tell anyone that I will bring a thousand hell's upon you Dick Grayson dick laughs fine I'll tell you a secret - back when Bruce returned there was a moment when I thought that maybe it would have been better to keep you as my partner but I was too young then I was too afraid that it would be bad at being a dad but now before he can finish the radios go off - there's a break-in at the bank and Dick asks if he's up for a little action before he goes Damian tells him indeed pity these miscreants the heir to the mantle of the Batman and the original Robin are here for them over on the streets of Bludhaven boardwalk though Roland Desmond takes his time walking to work enjoying the bright lights of the town as he walks up to Marcus casino he sees a homeless woman picking through the trash and he asks if she's found anything good she tells him that something big must be coming lots of jitters and nervous stomachs nobody finished their fancy club sandwiches as she starts to eat a tourist walks by bumping into Roland and continues walking like nothing happened we're all on stairs of the woman his veins about to burst and after squirting a drop into his mouth his body turns back to normal he starts to take out his wallet and gives the homeless woman some money telling her that she used to always chase his underage self out of clubs but she always liked the other way when he was lightening some customers pockets a short while later Roland walks around the casino to find a rather lucky man winning all of his hands at blackjack Roland tells the man that he must be from out of town and the man says yeah Toronto but how did you know and Roland leans in stating that he grew up here so he's got a certain kind of kinship with anyone from here he doesn't like him much at all the man tells him yeah whatever but then he loses a hand Roland flips nobody's jacketed he tells the receiver come and get him and then suddenly the manage to ragdoll by the staff members moments later the two men throw the man into a room and Roland tells him that he could tell that he had been counting cards nothing distracts a man like a little unprovoked aggression huh as Roland takes another pump from his cigarette the two bouncers call it attention he comes he wears socks of the red panda skin his cufflinks are made of the finest art yellow horn he is tiger shark as the doors open tiger shark walks in the men says that he is the majority owner of the Marcus casino and he would like to invite the two of them to a special viewing of his aquarium meanwhile at Sean's son's apartment dick comes in through the window asking so what's with all the romance she tells him that she was gonna surprise him but she felt kind of asleep you know just wanted to give him some good luck for tomorrow's interview as Shaun helps dick with his shirt dick says actually the second hand is still getting high-tech weapons into Bludhaven I need to find out who that is she takes off his mask stating you can be Nightwing anywhere how about you be Dick Grayson for once dick thinks back to when Barbara told him that he went through hell to get his identity back why not focus on being Dick Grayson and he tells her that he's gonna go to the interview though he's a little rusty she can help him with his interpersonal skills can't she backed with Roland he looks at tiger sharks giant tank and he says that he's got some nice things in there seconds later the man cheating from before is thrown into the tank and tiger shark says that he's got something big coming the biggest thing this second-rate town's ever seen he then grabs Roland by the shoulders and tells them I've been watching you walking the floor is beneath you you're a predator a hunter one who has evolved perfectly for your environment a group of sharks then swim up to the man they begin to eat him turning him into Chum the tiger shark goes on stating I would like to offer you to search Bludhaven and find Nightwing and bring me back his skin later that night dick begins to head out on patrol when someone calls out to him from the rooftops he turns and blockbuster appears punching him down dick quickly recovers after hitting them and then as he begins to fight blockbuster blockbuster continues to counter his hits and the head puts him into a wall Dick's body smacks into it a blockbuster takes out a small squirter and he sprays a drop into his mouth dating I'm not here to kill you before dick can ask who rolled and revert back to normal and he tells them my name is Roland Desmond mark was my brother and I'd like to offer you a job long ago back in dicks Robin days mark Desmond was the original blockbuster he was a chemist and a smart one of that until he made a concoction that increased his strength the smarts left him when he became very aggressive and easy to manipulate especially from his own brother however there was a point when Roland had betrayed his brother and he was taken in afterwards Roland came back stricken with guilt and he wanted to do something good so he picked up where his brother left off with the concoction as Roland finishes his story he reaches out to dick telling him so are you gonna take my hand or make me look like a putz dick of course takes his hand and he asks how are you able to control the blockbuster transformation and Roland says before Mark got hauled off he developed a new version of the muscle juice lets you keep your brains which is nice because you're gonna need it if you want to take down this tiger shark guy dick questions him and Roland says yeah he's a smuggler straight out I got them specialized in rare animal products and now he's using my casino to launder money from sales of illegal high-tech weapons from the second hand the more Roland talks the angrier he gets reverting back to Blockbuster and after another drop here averts back stating that's why I need you I'm losing control Roland then hands over a piece of paper stating that these are the names of the harbour police under their payroll with his prior history no one's going to believe him Dick Grayson takes the paper he says you're right why should I trust you and Rowland goes on telling him how some of the Sharks gear is spilling into the streets of the poorest neighborhoods his city is getting used and people are dying and this is just the beginning over the radio dick listens in to the police report of violence at the mall and he tells Roland that he's got to get going as dick swings by rolling it's happening isn't it it's up to us we're the only ones who can stop this over at the mall the two men began running and one asks where did they get that thing and the other man says that some guy told him it fell off the back of a truck he thought it was one of those love dolls an Android jumps down before the men holding out her arm charging the blaster in her palm and the second man shouts come on switch to love mode switch to love mode as the Android fires dick swings in grabbing him and he tells him run don't ever buy strange robots again dick jumps back up fighting the Android but her advanced processor allows her to dodge all of his attacks easily knocking him to the ground he looks up stating maybe I need to spruce up the resume a bit and then he notices the forklift he jumps on and it drives the forklift into the androids skewering her into the warehouse wall a voice then asks what the hell are you looking at and a detective Elise runs out of her police car with her gun drawn dick tells her that that is an algorithm model war droid serious military hardware like this is being brought into blood him and a source says that some of the cops are helping with that she takes the paper from him because they'll read the names of the supposedly dirty cops and dick asks her if any of these people could in fact be dirt she thinks on it he says let's see that's none of your damn business she heads to her car and dick shots come on you owe me from the James nice case and at least snaps back at him telling a what you think were equals or something you come to my town do my job for free get in my way and you face no consequences I don't owe you anything so get out of here before people start to see us together the next morning while Shawn is at work she finishes the pack all regarding most of her money for the community center being taken away and the voice tells her that it must be nice to come back right Shawn gets up hugging dick and asks so is she dating a sexy longshoreman yet and dick tells her actually he didn't get to the interview she yells at I'm telling him he had one measly job interview and dick says why are you so focused that I need to something to keep me here as Shawn walks off she says that things have changed ever since they got back from Egypt and then finding out that she wasn't pregnant she thought that he was disappointed but it seems like he was relieved dick gets up telling her that one of the things that made him fall in love with her is that he could be honest and another is that she knows exactly who she is who she was but he can see that that anger inside of her still defines her the pregnancy made him realize that he wouldn't want his child growing up driven by tragedy or anger and while he would teach them not to do that he fears that she would have the opposite effect dick hugs Shawn and he tells her he just doesn't want to lie they can work this out but he has to go he leaves and Shawn's phone rings in the operator asked if she would like to accept a call from the black mate prison inmate Beatrice Butler she wipes a tear from her eye she says yes and as the call connects she says hey pigeon back with dick he follows the lead on the dirty cops back to the pickup site along the coast before he has a chance to do anything skyhook swoops in grabbing him throwing him into the broken ship he lays into the lights come on and he's surrounded by villains roll on then calls out to everyone who's interested in purchasing weapons from tigershark they can rid themselves of the superhero problem in front of them a superhero sample to test their weapons on Roland leans out and he tells dick hey thanks for taking that job for me a few moments later over in the other parts of town it gives works away with his latest weapons when his phone because the ring he picks it up stating hey Nightwing yeah I'm staying away for the computer like you told me a hundred times dick says good but that's not why I'm calling would you happen to have the blueprints for a see Phoenix 3000 luxury submarine not for any particular reason tiger shark shouts at the villains you let him escape but I will give one of you free weapons if you could bring me his masthead while many of the villains are now chasing dick Giz calls back gives the blue cheese and Dick says call me Nightwing I already have a codename Giz tells him right well I got your blueprints here's the escape capsule on deck 3 so dick charges through the underground men shraddh oh and his boss China white snake pit until he finally gets ahead to find clock King in the middle of stealing things clock king shouts wait I must have it and dick tackles them to the ground just as the arrows are shot into the room as clock King gets back up and runs shadow appears pulling out more of the arrows and dick jumps on her and headbutt sir still a bit dazed in the head dick doesn't have a chance to fight back as Magog picks him up and throws him across the room he gets back up on Magog then punches him back down into the skeletal display he continues to attack and dick blocks the head and then he guys one of the bones with his feet and he sticks it right into my gods eye magog's energy because they lose control and he shoots dick into the wall and out into another room kid amazed on the steps up and just before he can attack he's blasted away into another room dick gets up huffing while holding Magog staff and then he promptly passes out after a few moments he manages to pick himself back up and walk towards the escape pods when another voice tells him nice work rather than opening the hatch Roland punches right through it and dick sighs fine let's do this brawl on last selling of no no you must understand the thing is you've already lost the war and like any good war it's going to end in a bomb Rowland pulls off a plate revealing a bomb and it's already counting down we pulls out the solution to change him back and he says I'm going to defuse it and dick asks why are you doing this dick gets back to work on the bomb and Rowland steps into one of the castles telling him what I said about this place being used was true however then some guy shows up acting like he loves this place like he grew up in it the only one who could save the city is going to be Roland Desmond gives radios back asking if everything is okay and if Nightwing is alright and as dick is watching the countdown happen he tells kids to tell Sean that he consumed and before dick could finish the summer rate explodes however what Giz didn't see or hear was that three seconds before the explosion dick had spotted clock King wearing the same suit the time bomb was wearing he grabs him telling him make room and as the bomb goes off clock king of course froze it was the explosion stopped dick says they have to go rescue everyone and of course clock King doesn't know no Sun the vest only has a limited charge and if we exceeded you it will drain us which is why tiger shark wouldn't touch it what happened to time bomb when we removed the vest is that he lost molecular cohesion he crumbled to dust he had to be vacuumed up but while clock king is looking away dick Pat's him on the shoulder telling him that no one dies on his watch clock King looks at his watch any size and he takes off his glasses stating these are antique frames passed down from my grandfather dick punches into him and when he wakes up clock King finds himself along with all the other villains safely floating out to sea tiger shark shouts that they need to get back onto his ship and seconds later that explodes meanwhile dick opens his lines up to see Shaun next to him and he because telling her that he's sorry about how he treated her and but she stops him telling him to just kiss her and then he opens his eyes and sees Elyse he quickly pulls away and at least tells him that he could be a little happier to see her she did just drag his ass out of the bay and he asks what about the vest she points back stating that that sparking burned-up thing over there next time wear floaties dick gets back up but he looks out of the ocean asking what happened to all of the people in the supercriminals and she tells him that the ones that a wanted poster are on their way back home the rest are on the run if she hadn't rescued him maybe she would have gotten a few of them captured she lights up her cigars as part of this is her fault he asked her for some info instead of looking into it she just got all kinds of pissed but that's what he needed right dick tells her he couldn't trust his source but he can trust that she hates him and then dick realizes that means that Tigershark is still out there so he once of the jet ski shouting that she owes him for almost getting him killed she yells back how she saved his life she could still taste his damn lips and back at the Marcus casino tiger shark storms into his back and inside Roland says nothing distracts a man like a little unprovoked aggression and now he would like the casino in him out of town tiger sharks scoffs hitting a switch telling him that he is right where he wants him the second hand wanted to give him a little token of their appreciation but he was never all into that exotic alien weapon crap just then two literal tiger sharks clawed their way out of the underground hatch and they can eating at the guards Roland looks back telling him yeah I grew up in the streets of blood Haven ain't many environments tougher than that Roland transformed he because now beat up the tiger sharks and after bash he went into the ground he takes the second one ripping open its jaw tiger shark keys to run for the door and then a headless tiger shark is thrown into his path Roland walks up to tiger shark telling him that's one thing if you wanted to win you're gonna have to get your own skin into the game later dick pulls up to the docks and he runs into the casino shouting for Roland from behind the bar Roland tells him night work back here come and sit and enjoyed the drinks on the house from the big winner dick takes a seat Roland makes the cocktail and he says after all of that the second hand will want to be a bit more conservative on who they make their sales with a name for a higher caliber of customer they're gonna need someone who's a smart controlled businessman who knows the city like a native someone who could remind their clients that they need the latest technology to protect them in the blüdhaven boogie man known as Nightwing so cheers to that and if you would see yourself out there's a lot of transitional paperwork left by the previous owner dick tells Roland wait something he should know he's gonna beat him because he knows him Roland asks how's that and as dick goes on he tells him you may have convinced yourself that you care about this city that you're the hero that it needs but the truth is it was never about guilt you didn't come back here because of what happened to your brother you took the serum because you were alone and scared and to prove that you weren't weaker than your little brother Rolla spins back to bashing the bar top and dick smiles of Roland tells him get out of my sight meanwhile back at gazes place Mouse asks so you're not a stripper and gig says that this is even sexier he's been helping Nightwing with tech support and also looking into some interesting stuff with the second hand Mouse tells him to be careful and get says don't worry to catch this ghost in the machine we're gonna need a be a ghost but what gives doesn't see is that there is someone watching him and over at Sean's apartment dick arrives at he hugs her telling her that he just needs to but she stops telling him that she's sorry she asked him to give her some assurance that he would in fact keep his feet on the ground that he would be the thing that she always loved him but he wouldn't give her that and he said he got scared of what could happen he asked her to change and she is running from who she was not even for him dick shout that he knows that what he said was messed up but they can fix this and Shawn yells back no there isn't anything to fix stop trying to swing in and save this it's over between us there's nothing left to save as dick leaves Shawn shuts the curtains it sits on her bed and beatrice walks in stating that she always thought that her paintings weren't extension of who she wants it's time for her to paint again for both of them to fly some time passes and dick did end up getting a job at the marcus casino as a dealer as Roland walks by he tells dick you're good at your job I've got my eye on you kid but during that at Maus and is his apartment mouse walks in shouting for kids to help bring in this stuff she then sees goober run up to her with his bloody paws she runs it gives his room to find gigs of bloody laying at his computer and the weapon that he was working on stating access denied as the moon rises over Bludhaven one can see all of the inner workings of the city you can see the families gathering on the patios for the night of eating the black market dealings going on in the alleyways and the dancing in Port parks all of these things can keep a person busy but tonight dick has to remain focused on the bigger issue as a Cobra agent shouts chaos for Kali Yuga he has punched in the face and dick begins to take out the rest of the Cobra lands heads the question is why a cult dedicated to washing away the world in a wave of discord would rob a fundraising ball for a blüdhaven politician the correct answer is they wouldn't that's when the reasoning behind it begins to sink in someone else is behind this dick feared this day for months after he learned that he got out of prison Raptor the individual who said that Batman was doing it wrong and had trained Dick Grayson wrong the individual who claimed to be better than Batman grabbed her once helped Nightwing bring down the Parliament of owls it was his partner and even a mentor but when he tried to kill Bruce for taking Dick Grayson away from the circle in putting him into a life of privilege he turned into one of the most dangerous enemies that Nightwing has ever faced as rafter swipes at the politician dick dies in taking the hit to push the politician out of the way rafter stands back up stating that he was waiting to see if he changed thought maybe giving him a little more time to follow his lead but here he is saving another trust fund baby power fiend in a designer suit Raptor turrets firing a hook from his gauntlet into a waitress the second floor pulling it back causing her to fall off dick runs in to catch the woman just as Raptor expected however as dick turns back Raptor is gone later that night dick and Elena kiss under the moon night and they stop with her stating she can tell that he's not all here dick says that he's sorry he covered 20 blocks and Raptor just disappeared he's definitely up to something and Elena tells him more thievery she suspects but he's not anything special just another gangster go out to stop that way you can come back to Gotham dick looks down stating that she knows how he feels about that and Elena says yeah yeah this Bludhaven needs Nightwing thing but she puts herself fully into everything that she does whether it's being a spy a superhero or his lover down on the street detective Elise shouts hey tights you think I'm gonna be digging in the tracks to find you you're nuts Elena then gets up and tells dick that she will not be second to anyone or anything dick jumps down and tells at least thanks for meeting him but she says don't get used to it after her two men got busted for helping out tiger shark internal affairs started cracking down at her whole department assisting a vigilante is just the kind of thing that they're looking for that and after their little kiss when she pulled him out of the bay it messed with her head and marriage she turns to leave and says that she knows he's a little warm for her form but the less that she sees of his cute bod the better so for now he's on his own so without having any ears around the town through the police dick turns to the only other people that he can trust with the runoffs as he jumps down in front of the community center where Shawn holds her meetings he finds everyone standing outside stallion tells them that the ex super villains of Gotham Club meeting has been cancelled it might be a permanent thing so why doesn't he just skedaddle dick says please I'm sorry how things have gotten I wish that I didn't have to do this but I need some eyes on the street and could have used your help stallion pushes her way up yelling if you don't remember our friend giz got killed helping you and dick tells him Giz went out on his own and i have to live with that but stallion pulls back punching into the ground telling dick I said skedaddle we quit being villains cuz it ruined our lives so then we tried to be heroes and we lose our lives so best get on with it dick gets up dusts himself off and says he's right he needs them to leave run off to somewhere else as dick leaves he because head towards the place that he wished he didn't have to go because this person can help he makes his way into the casino and he fights his way through the guards and just as the last one falls roll Desmond steps out dick tells him that he needs his connections and his knowledge if he helps him find and stop a man called Raptor Dick Grayson will leave blüdhaven forever the next day Rowland gets ready to speak in front of a group of local officials at Bludhaven about how he wants to help change their city for the better and just as he's about to take the stage Raptor up here slapping his face into the mirror stating that he's going to show everyone a fake he really is rolling shouts Raptor and Raptor throws him through the glass stating it looks like Nightwing's been telling his tales again that's just something Nightwing would do use any method even crawling to an underworld boss like blockbuster just for help Raptor then attaches a wire around Roland's neck because to fire it over a statue before the officials Raptor heads of the party man shouts you've all been conned by this man he would want you to think that he's a self-made man pulling himself up by his own bootstraps the line pulls back lifting rolling into the air and Raptor goes on telling him I want to show you that this man is just like everyone else trying to get ahead what if I could show you the Beast deep down inside just then Rolen begins to let blockbuster out and he charges at Raptor and as Raptor dodges the attack he gets rolling with a missed stunning abstaining that's it show everyone what it really means to be the king of blood Haven rolling shouts out in pain but as his eyesight comes back he sees Raptor is already gone roll and then says I just wanted to talk to the kids so they have something to aim for meanwhile over at blue blood labs and chemical transport scientists work with the local Fisher's at extracting horseshoe crab blood and making vaccines but just then Avery's voice calls out that she can't believe she's saying this but they don't want their money they just want the blue stuff one of the Fisher's yells like hell I got up with a butt crack of dawn to pick up these critters you can go get your own Avery points her gun at the Fisher asking how about I mix up a little purple into that stuff then and another voice asks how about Nath and dick throws a baton knocking the gun out of her hand as Elena goes ready to fire her crossbow dick says do I really have to say it and Elena tells him no she knows that he prefers her blood even scum served up alive so she can't kill them it's all they ever talk about when they're engaged in other business dick grabs two of the horseshoe crabs and cracks them between one of the whale Enders men and then puts them back stating thanks fellas behind some barrels Avery slams a syringe into one of the barrels stating that if the enders want to keep being players and blood even they're gonna have to level dick calls out to Avery to just come out and she tells him no and her voice begins to change she lunges out after sticking herself with the syringe and as she jumps she misses and falls flat on the floor dick looks over at the other men with Avery asking you to and he puts his hands up telling him oh hell no a short while later Rowland gets a call from dick stating that his tip was right but it wasn't a raptor laying out subtle clues really isn't its thing Rowland tells him no it's not he was here and he forced my hand in front of the children they saw Blockbuster what the hell did you bring into the city but before dick could answer Hellena says Roland Desmond how disgusting dick turns back stating wait you've been listening to my conversation and Elena tells him of course she was dicks eyes stating after all of this you still don't trust me I know Lena tells him no she does it that would be stupid unlike him she learned to never trust anyone other than God dick tells her look I don't trust Desmond I'm just using my resources since we both share a common interest in helping Bludhaven Elena grabs dick and smiles telling him you poor sweet boy and then needs him in the stomach telling him this is for having me take on the way lenders gang on a mobster tip she didn't punch him to the ground and dick gets up asking what was the second one for she tells him that he allowed her to open herself up and feel comfortable he left her vulnerable letting her trust him that was a lesson that he taught her never let your guard down later that night dick gets ready for his shift at the casino trying to figure out what he should be doing next he listens in a Roland's conversation with one of his men as they offer to take out those kids who saw him role and tells him that he better not lay a hair on them do whatever it takes put them through college whatever they need dick then takes out the earpiece thinking at least he was right that blockbuster does have some moral code but then a man clears his throat and dick says that he's sorry the man tells him no problem here's 10 grant rafter pulls his glasses down and tells dick go ahead and deal me in rafter then says you know I was gonna teach you what you'd forgotten and bring you back to the world you've been taken from but you abandon me too you broke my bones just like the floor broke my mother's now here we are you could try and stop me here leap over the table snap me into pieces but then Roland would see your hand I know that you're secretly Nightwing Oh waitress jumps up in the table offer a ring of Raptor a drink any last telling her ha ha no thanks to her stuff makes me crazy dick flips his cards it says congratulations sir you win that round meanwhile over at the home of Beatrice Butler otherwise known as the pigeon she runs off to begin her own investigation Shawn finds one of raptors masks lying around and says that pigeon tested her to see if she would join their fight so whatever pigeon is up to she's in this but this isn't their fight they can all get out now goober the squirrel jumps off of Mouse's shoulder and onto the laptop starting to tighten as information about Nightwing appears on the screen mouse says that when Nightwing asked for the runoffs help Giz jumped at the chance he saved lives and didn't die a villain everyone gathers around and each one says four gets back at the casino Raptor points out into the crowd telling dick look what you trade it in for you traded to Bruce Wayne for plenty a city of the guilty once again you bet against your own people your own history your own mother dick vegans shuffling up a new decade he says my mother came to you when she needed help helped steel treatment for leprosy she was an angel to you so you promised to protect her even after she started go by the name Mary and built a life with my father you continued to do so in the shadows because you were a wanted man but you followed her traveled the world only a few steps behind ever since we first fought I've been trying to piece together my childhood you remembered you interviewing people from back then and here's the theory that I came up with that night before the flying Grayson's went on stage you set back watching the performers get ready you had already given up being mr. numb by then and you always felt a pang of envy because you weren't joining them on the stage but then you saw something strange a new guy arguing with the ringmaster something was off however that's also when the crowd started to come in and that's when you saw Bruce Wayne as the night went on you would watch from underneath the bleachers to make sure that Mary's performance went as planned except you got distracted in front of you was Bruce Wayne it was Mary's birthday and you figured why not get her something nice something nicer than my father would have gotten her but then that's when the dry thud could be heard followed by the screams everyone lost a piece of themselves that night for you you weren't the Guardian anymore you were just another petty thief Raptor so a new brand was built took pieces of half a dozen superhero costumes all to convince yourself that you weren't a bad guy and that's when he built a metal glove and named it after the romani wizard Soo kala chained to a rock to prevent himself from destroying the world you blamed Bruce Wayne though rich even me anything to avoid blaming yourself and as dick flips his car as he says dealer wins we're after [ __ ] to silence for a moment but his look of sadness fades and begins to laugh he smacks the chips off the table yelling nice detective work better than Batman but it doesn't change a thing just then some of the people begin to scream in pain as their muscles start to grow wrapped her than whispers that he gave the people what they needed to cure what ails them now they could be themselves Dick Grayson over at the whales ended neighborhood thrill pulls up with mouse as Shaun touches down stating that he remembers this place his parents used to bring him here and as the three walk in Shaun says that it was closed when the factories left the neighborhood the way lenders gang has been squatting here for years but what they came for is the lab mouse licks around stating that this place is like knew before Gracie came to blüdhaven she was a biochemist at the Gotham Aquarium a voice that says yeah it was messing around a place like this that turned her into Orca Gracie gets up from leaning on a wall stating that whales Enders are done they tried to replicate her experiment right now she's not in the mood for a house call so get out Shaun chases after her yelling wait blood Haven is under attack and we just learned that people are being turned into monsters you were one of us once Gracie turns back yelling stop this isn't over run offs meeting she's got nothing to share with them Shaun shouts of the group that she said herself that she would follow anyone who would accept her so when the whale Enders came to ask her to make the chemical that changed her she didn't because if she did then they wouldn't need a bodyguard with the strength of a killer whale they wouldn't need her mouse holds up pigeons laptop stayed in that Raptor and pigeon want to tear Bludhaven into the ground they're going to use their own citizens to do it she can read the code but not the formulas they need her they need Gracie ball and they need or come back in the casino Stalin and Grimm arrived to seer after making his escape with pigeon but inside everyone is turning into blockbuster monsters forcing dick to suit up as Nightwing while the chaos breaks out on the floor one of the dealers begins to pick up the chips to cash in but just before she can get the last chip dick runs through grabbing her just as the table is thrown at her the dealer stops dick shouting hey those are mine back off but as she goes on yelling her tone changes is she because they grow in size but before she could fully transform Rowling sure just through punching her saving Dick Grayson dick tells him wait you could hurt her and Rowland says no I'm not she's an employee and a friend but you you're just a tourist Rowland spins back around grabbing dick shouting you're awful quick together you're Nightwing we made a deal to stop Raptor have you been spying on me dick ask some what is he done look around we got to get all of the non-drinkers to safety everyone else has been turned into monsters because of contaminated cocktails and as Roland let's go dick says we're the help and Raptor get some blockbusters sure him anyway and rolla's is alright alright without weapons on the second hand we were at a disadvantage with all of the other bosses starting to look towards blüdhaven I had a couple of scientists take a sample of my blood so that they can make the serum available for mass production we took out the parts that let them keep their smarts so that they could just focus on the parts that gave you power and rage it's only going to be sold to the bosses who needed it so that we could level the playing field a little and then sell them the antidote for a higher price but before I could get out the shipments that thievin stalker took them the two continued to fight the blockbuster horde and dick that asks what about the anecdote and roll and tells them Raptor burned it the psycho is all on me it makes this situation just as much on you just then one of Roland's employees calls to him stating that they have a problem some of the roided freaks are getting out into the streets and just as they do stallion and grymps show up knocking them out and he says actually there's been an update a gorilla and a cowboy fighting off the critters as dick follows roll into the elevators he says that they need to get outside and help those two and Roland tells him first we have to get to the 17th floor and initiate a full bomb scare lockdown so that no more of these things get out you go help up the X villains you can trust me just like you trusted me with the whole tiger shark thing the elevator door opens up and dick says that Grimm and Stalin can hold their own for now as the to get in rollin begins to take his antidote and dick realizes he can't be blockbuster for extended periods it hurts and that's when a twisted voice says so thirsty dry engaged rollin and tells him I'm pretty sure we met before remember tiger shark just then the top of the elevator is ripped off by a giant tiger shark who says I take all the tasty Florida over on the nearby building pigeon begins bringing up the last of the crate stating that it's almost time his beautiful masterpiece will come to fruition and anyone who tries to stop them in his failed city will either be broken or dead Raptor than grits his teeth stating that he couldn't do it when it came time he couldn't kill Nightwing I had him I showed him how he'd lost a long game how he learns show Tim little but his eyes he's got his there's eyes pigeon that tells him that when he found her rotting in a prison and wrote her about her work it wasn't just a mutual condemnation of a sick world that drew her to him they had a shared pain the facer took her heart and future just as Nightwing took is they will end Nightwing together back in the elevator tiger shark makes his way in and dick then asks I thought tiger shark had skipped town and Rowland asks did you really think that I would let this crazy freak walk free tiger shark punches into the side of the elevator causing the lines holding it to snap the elevator begins to fall as dick jumps out catching himself while catching Rolland enroll and tells him look just so you know this changes nothing we have a deal while tiger shark begins to climb up the shaft dick begins to swing back and forth allowing him to throw Roland up to the open elevator door Roland then heads down the hall calling out to the security guard on shift and when he finds him he sees his throat has already been slit backward Dicky tries to maneuver around to avoid tiger shark but as dick kicks off tiger shark bites right into his leg using tiger shark as a platform dick kicks off of him and up into the opening take then shouts to roll in to hit the switch and as Roland hovers his finger over the button he begins to pull back tiger shark lunges up but at the last second the door slams shut tick then rolls back statement that he thought that he didn't want to talk to him and Roland then asks that you could hit in the head too hard or something and dick doesn't be quiet I'm on the phone on the other line Shaun says that she tends to get over bad breakups when things get a little crazy and if their enemies can get it together to face her a Nightwing better do it as well pigeon is working with raptor mouse was able to get into pigeons computer and they found out that the casino is just a distraction they're going to poison the entire city they have canisters planted all over hidden in plain sight and rolling and asks what is it dick tells them that they're sending a final message on night wings as the two look out they see a swarm of birds flying their way all with small canisters with a blockbuster serum around their neck back outside stallion holds down a mutated man and asks so what are we doing here and Shaun flies down telling him that she needs him to crime them up so that she can carry the antidote without any issues as the paint cans on her legs light up Shaun starts to weave throughout the crowds tagging everyone that she can and then there's a rumble on the ground subtly tiger shark breaks out shouting fills out a hole now I made holes in you Sean sighs and then pulls out a syringe loaded with the antidote and up on the roof of the casino Bratcher begins to think back to a time when he was spending time with dicks mother Mary as he does pigeon asks if he's thinking about her again and Raptor tries to explain but pigeon says that she did all of this for him for us so why can't I be the one that you're thinking about however before she can finish he's hitting the back of the head and Roland says that all of these damn birds on his roof shoo dick then runs past shouting - wrapped her as he punches into him Raptor spits out a - stating I always let you live out of respect for your mother to teach you but now I have nothing left to offer he swipes slashing at dicks chest in the to go back and forth punching and tearing into each other as dick takes a kick atom Raptor grabs him by the face and spins him around with one quick jab Raptor lays into dicks back and over with roll and he picks pigeon up and throws her into the ground stated that he could do this all day pigeon then says that he likes being the strong man huh and she sprays the blockbuster serum in his face she gets back up telling him that since he's already got the serum in him this should go extremely painful she was the avatar of the Ishtar the goddess of sacrifice cities are monuments they must fall and just then Shaun yells hey monuments don't like you much either and slams a statue strapped to the spray can down on top of her crafter sees pigeon gets crushed and head butt to dick off of him to go get to her Shaun hurries over to dick and as she checks out of her phone begins to ring she grabs it stating give me some good news and after a few seconds she begins to yell hell yeah she turns back the dick telling him that they did it the runoffs came together and saved the people in the casino and they came together to help Nightwing dick struggles and says Raptor he still has the trigger and that's when Raptor smacks shot out of the way telling him yes I do dick jumps up screaming a trapped her punching into him shouting through could've been a good man who could have been the man that she thought you could have been and suddenly there's another scream as Roland charges through breaking the two apart roland falls to the ground state of that he needs to get it under control and wrapped her laughs telegin with all that muscle you still missed except Raptors nose begins to bleed and his visor cracks as he falls to the ground he gets back up telling dick that he finally did it he knows that they made a deal but he's got a new idea they can rule this city together he could be the brother that he never had Roland extends his arm and dick shakes it and it sticks him with one of Shawn's antidotes dick tells him that that's the antidote to the blockbuster serum roland falls to the ground shouting you played me and cheated and dick says yeah yes I did learn nothing from Raptor while Sean starts tying roll into up dick checks on Raptor while he lays mangled on the ground Raptor says you know what really gets me it's not just that it wasn't there for Mary is that I was never there for you always in the shadows one foot behind you never knew who I was because I never let you my real name is Richard rapture passes on and Sean hugs dick from behind in dick says that he missed her so much she tells him that she loves him too too much night we can call him to face or any time but dick can never call on Sean lights begin to shine down from the police headquarters before dick knows that Sean is already gone a few weeks later dick gets ready to go out of patrol when he stops by the pier to see Elise she hands him a cup of coffee stating that one of his old buddies just kidnapped a couple of radio pundits and threatened to show how the left and the right are just reflections of dick takes a sip of his coffee stating it's too nice police lights are cigarette up stating that it looks like he picked up some new toys along the way she would go with him but he knows how her hubby gets but uh think you can call in some help and there you have it the full story of a dick Grayson's origin to the Grayson storyline to the Nightwing rebirth now I really liked him as Grayson and I really liked Nightwing rebirth they went in a different direction recently and that's why I have not been covering it on the channel I'm not a fan of Rick Grayson and I'm honestly just waiting for that to resolve so that's where I'm at with Nightwing but what do you think about Nightwing do you like Nightwing he's such an odd character in I personally really enjoy him but not everyone does so let me know what you think in the comments down below and I'll see you next time right here at the comics storyand channel and don't forget please consider going to our
