Gotham City falls into darkness in the wake of Black Canary's unexpectedly powerful Canary Cry, which destroys a power station. Without any electricity, it isn't long before the city descends into looting and crime. Thought she hopes her companions won't blame her, Starling is well aware that this is not the first time this has happened, and though she agrees to cover for it this time, she demands an explanation as soon as possible.
