PLOT:
Before leaving town, Tim Drake found himself standing at the grave of Bruce Wayne. Memories of the recent Crisis still lingering in his head, he reflected back upon the horrific moment
in which the Justifier troops placed Darkseid's Anti-Life Equation spewing helmet on his head. And at that moment he realizes, there wasn't that much of the soul defeating equation he
could disagree with. He confesses this much to one of his oldest friends, Cassie (Wonder Girl). He tells her of his theory that Bruce isn't gone. But even she doesn't believe him. Having gone through
the same thing after the loss of Conner, she tries her best to console him but he simply leaves her behind.
He is alone.
Perhaps that is why he's in the place he is now. Covered in shades of gray. Searching desperately through documents in Berlin at the German Museum of Anthropology. Taking advice and help from one of Bruce's greatest enemies Ra's al Ghul. The Demon's Head shares
Tim's interest in uncovering the final fate of the Dark Knight Detective. And that's part of the reason why, when the Global Guardian the Wild Huntsman (along with the building's security) catches Tim in the midst of his late night
fact-finding mission, three League of Assassins members spring to his rescue. Pru, Z and Owens spring into action, guns ablazing. It's only by Tim's demand that the Huntsmen and the other guards are spared.
But the reason for Ra's interest lie not only with Tim's quest. Yet another League of Assassins member was found murdered. This makes eleven. And that's exactly why, like it or not, Tim is going to have some
added assistance from here on out from the Three Assassins that just days earlier were trying to kill him. He arrives in Baghdad to find the crew of
assassin waiting for him outside the airport.
Yes, things have certainly changed for Tim Drake. But he isn't the only one who has grown up. Lucius Fox's young daughter has also matured and gone out on her own. Sitting as an intern at a Wayne company
building in Russia, she receives an urgent phone call from her father. It seems
Lucius is in need of some assistance.
