The Birds of Prey have been collected from the Basilisk base from a mysterious benefactor. Naturally, Black Canary is defensive, and reticent to let them take the husband containing her comatose husband Kurt. Her concerns are alleviated, though, when their benefactor reveals herself to be Miss Ettie, the elderly lady whom she met at a coffee shop some weeks ago. She explains that she is much more than the old woman she seems - but she will not be around much longer. In any case, she has assembled a strong medical team to evaluate Kurt's helath. Reluctantly, Dinah agrees to give him up, warning that she will not allow them to do anything to him without her say-so.
