Luckily for her, someone else reaches her first with a business proposition. Meanwhile, Tim Drake wonders what to do given the current crisis, Batman and Oracle have a heated conversation about the lack of a role he will allow her, and Onyx discharges herself from Leslie Thompkins' clinic. Batman asks Commissioner Akins to give him control of the police force for a few hours, a request which is not granted, and Tim Drake makes a decision. The city needs him, and he will return to his life as Robin.
