Summary
When a shipment of military explosives disguised as medical equipment turns up on the Blüdhaven docks, Dick Grayson follows the trail to Gotham—and to a temporary delivery authorisation for Wayne Memorial Hospital.
He has every intention of handing over the evidence without making the trip personal.
Then the hospital explodes.
What follows leads through stolen patient records, abandoned clinics, old surgical programmes and a conspiracy increasingly interested in the choices people make when there is no way to save everyone. Someone has been studying Gotham's medical system closely. Someone knows how Dr Bruce Wayne thinks in an operating theatre. And someone has started asking what happens when the patient in front of him is family.
Meanwhile, Dick is discovering that surviving an injury is considerably easier than recovering from one, Bruce is discovering that care and control are not synonyms, and the rest of the family are becoming increasingly difficult to leave behind.
The closer they get to the truth, the less this looks like a series of crimes.
It looks like an experiment.
Or alternatively, I make Dick suffer for my own personal enjoyment :)
