Nightwing narrowly escapes being run over on the highway, and, keeping a sample of the weird fabric entangling him, he asks Lucius Fox to investigate it, on the pretext that he wants to invest in the fabric. The next day is his first day at work, a stake out with Sergeant Amy Rohrbach, who is convinced he's on the corrupt cops' payroll. Not the most interesting of shifts; perhaps he should have stayed at the justice centre, where Mac Arnot enters Chief Ebersol's office only to be confronted by Dudley Soames toting a rather large gun.
