Synopsis: This issue continues from the last one. Jean Paul
has been captured by Scratch, and now Scratch is about to let his followers
kill him. But, Jean Paul has a plan to trick Scratch into allowing him
to wear his costume to become Azrael. Scratch falls for it and postpones
his execution. Jean Paul is beaten up badly and then tied up. While all
this is going on, Batgirl begins to steal guns from Scratch’s followers.
Then, she finds Jean Paul and begins to free him, but he has a plan, and
tells her to stay close by. When the time comes for the execution, Jean
Paul tricks Scratch into helping him put on his mask, completing his transition
into Azrael. As the execution begins, Azrael breaks free and beats up many
of Scratch’s followers with Batgirl’s help. In the final showdown, Azrael
beats up Scratch, and all of Scratch’s followers leave. After the excitement,
Azrael and Batgirl return to Dr. Thompkins’ hospital with the much needed
medical supplies.
