With a super-storm on the way toward Gotham City, Barbara Gordon found that her provisions for handling a disaster were vastly inadequate. She had gone to the gas station to pick up some supplies, and the place had been packed with panicked citizens, including one man who had pulled a gun on her. Despite his actions, she knew he was just a normal man, driven to the brink by the situation, but all the same, she was forced to run for her life. When she made it home, her father Jim, was already on his way out, and despite noticing how shaken she was, he placed the responsibility of protecting her home and her younger brother on her shoulders while he was gone.
