Synopsis:

Batgirl fights Mad Dog, her father's first experiment in raising an assassin, a semi-human man of instinct and rage. She will not allow Tigris or Alpha, who are present, to kill Mad Dog. This will end her way. The battle is long and hard, but finally Batgirl defeats her 'brother' at the cost of her own life, to allow Alpha and Tigris to make the choice not to kill. Shiva is devastated, and takes Batgirl's body to the Lazarus Pit. Batgirl herself meets Spoiler's spirit, and Spoiler promises to tell her a story.
