Synopsis:

Batman, Robin and Nightwing head for Sudan and the "wheel of plagues", hoping that they can find a true cure for the 'Clench' virus, Ebola Gulf A. Meanwhile, Huntress makes her presence known to Commissioner Gordon, and makes it quite plain to D.A. Seth Voder that despite pressure from the Penguin, he is not to push for quarantine of the Clench survivors. When the heroes arrive at their destination, they are confronted by a very familiar face.
