Following the gang war in Gotham and Oracle's desperate attempt to save Batman, the Clock Tower is rubble and she no longer has a home. She decides to leave Gotham, and turns to Ted Kord, the Blue Beetle, for help - he assists her to adapt a hi-tech plane for their use. Together with Black Canary and Huntress, she brings drug baron Tom Paul Jussub to justice and the trio leave Gotham behind them, on their new base piloted by the legendary Zinda Blake, Lady Blackhawk. They head towards Dayton, Ohio, and Oracle reveals that she doesn't plan to return to Gotham for quite some time.
