Synopsis: The story begins with a flashback of when Batman was
visiting Cain in Macau. In Gotham City, Batgirl thinks about how thinking
in words has changed her view of the world, while she guards a manhole.
In the sewer, Batman asks Mister Jeffers about why so many assassins are
after him. Jeffers explains that he took part in an experiment that gave
him his psychic abilities. When the head researcher, Dr. Johns, wanted
to cut Jeffers’ brain out to make money with it, Jeffers freaked out and
got away. As a fight between Batgirl and some assassins begins above, Jeffers
explains to Batman that he had permanently changed Batgirl’s brain. As
Batman starts running down the sewer, Batgirl slowly beats up the assassins.
When Batman finally makes it out of the sewer, Batgirl gives him the hand
and then teaches the last standing assassin a lesson by stopping his heart
momentarily. Batman then gives Batgirl an assignment to go retrieve Dr.
Johns, which she does promptly. Later, at a shack in the woods, Batgirl
is instructed by Batman to take Dr. Johns inside. While Batman ambushes
the assassins hiding in the woods, Batgirl notices some more assassins
coming from behind the shack with very powerful guns. She immediately confronts
them and takes all but one of them out. The last assassin pulls out his
gun and she jumps at him, sacrificing herself to protect Jeffers and Dr.
Johns as she take the bullets with her body. Later, she wakes up in the
Bat Cave on a hospital bed. When Batman asks her why she did what she did,
Batgirl answers “Instinct...”
