Somewhat inevitably, Batgirl encounters Black Wind aboard their cruise ship, and there is soon a confrontation, with Black Wind and his supporters claiming they are to bring justice to Vilom Namali, an unscrupulous Tarakstani oil magante who once destroyed a village in the name of oil. A confusing confrontation ensues when Superboy gets involved, and after Black Wind is captured, Batgirl wants to go home. She and Superboy also express an attraction to one another; on Batgirl's side, this is partly the result of an uncomfortability with an undeniable chemistry between her and Black Wind.
