Synopsis: - In an effort to discover Oracle's identity in order to force her to deliver the location of Gorilla City to him, Blockbuster has Nightwing tortured by the sadistic Giles and Gillian. He has also sent agents after Black Canary, but she is able to stay one step ahead of them in the Latin American jungles. In the event that neither of these methods is effective, he has also employed two top hackers, Mouse and Giz, to try and trace Oracle's on-line activities.
- Oracle leaves the clock tower in order to be harder to find, just as Blockbuster has his first breakthrough. He orders his henchman Cisco Blaine to remain behind as he, Mouse and Giz go on the road in search of Oracle. Nightwing does not crack under the truth serums and other weirdness inflicted by Giles and Gillian and is surprised to find Blaine come to his rescue. It turns out that Blaine is an FBI agent, who has now broken his cover because he believes that Nightwing has important information which may be able to bring down Blockbuster.
