PLOT:
All his life Feodor Kerimov's conscience has been weighed down by his inescapable legacy as a butcher. So in one final attempt at redeeming his soul before the cancer that is ravaging his
body finally claimed his life, Kerimov planned on returning the ice princess to his people in order to bestow upon them a sense of hope for the future. But whatever dark means he used
to return her to life, the once sweet and caring Norse ice goddess is now teaming with rage and looking for someone to exact
revenge upon for her death.
One thing is clear however, while the Six may be heartless mercenaries and brutal thugs at times, they are in no shape or form big fans of kidnappers and up til this point were completely oblivious
to the fact that the Rocket Red suit they were hunting down contained an actual human being inside of it! So as Kerimov's Rocket Red soldiers begin to surround the two teams the Six decide to work together
with the Birds to take out Kerimov's henchmen. At some point during all this ruckus, Helena is able to reach Tora both physically and emotionally and awaken her from her blind rage. The mere mention of Tora's one-time love
Guy Gardner is all it takes to bring her back to reality and in no time the ice princess is using her powers to de-commission the Rocket Reds surrounding them.
As the last soldier falls, the butcher who rescued Ice from hell, Feodor Kerimov himself arrives on the scene. When he goes to try and convince Tora to come with him, Deadshot makes the executive
decision to execute the man before he can do any more damage. Having murdered the man responsible for paying them, the Six decide that now is as good a time as any to pack it in and go their separate ways.
But even though this entire mission was nothing more than a thinly veiled rescue attempt working on the "side of the angels" as Oracle once said, that doesn't mean the Birds enjoy their new boss Spy Smasher any more
than before. Luckily back stateside, Barbara Gordon is planning to have some words with her former friend Katarina.
