Summary
When things get complicated in Hong Kong, Cass requests help from Batman Inc. Unbeknownst to her, Bruce dispatches not one of her brothers, but Stephanie Brown, who Cass has not spoken to since she gave up the Batgirl mantle.
Steph is eager to reunite with her best friend, but things between them are complicated. Not the least of the problems is the fact that Steph might be falling in love… but of course, Cass is straight, so Steph really shouldn’t dwell on that.
Friendship and romance, conspiracy and adventure await the two of them as they try to unravel a complicated plot that seeks to stop Batman Incorporated before it can truly begin.

Summary
You can figure out how it goes. He makes the two-foot climb to the top of the diving board. He looks down into the water below, and though the red letters along the edge of the pool all declare obnoxiously “12 FEET!”, he thinks to himself that it didn’t really look that deep. He thinks that, clearly, everyone was just trying to hold him down. Stop him from flying. Stop him from breaking free. And so Duke does it—he dives. For about two seconds, it feels good because it’s just him, the water, and the glowing warmth of his own triumph.
Then he sinks.
Of course, he sinks. He couldn’t swim.Series
