| Storyline |
Oracle
contacted Dinah Lance (the Black Canary) about an assignment.
Dinah arrived in Gotham City and began her mission to
get information on an ecco-terrorist group called the
Green Brotherhood. She began putting moves on Nick Devine,
a self-made billionaire who'd been their recent target.
Back in his hotel room, she learned that Lynx and the
Ghost Dragons were Devine's personal security. After helping
Lynx stop some attackers, Devine hired her on.
The crew flew into the third world country of Dwunda,
where Devine was helping with its industrialization. Black
Canary moved in on some of the Green Brotherhood trying
to sabotage a dam. She stopped them, but Lynx finished
their job. The dam was destroyed, devastating a nearby
village. Realizing Nick Devine was behind the terrorists
(to insure his profit), Oracle tracked him and Canary
took him down.
Black
Canary located a slavery ring while "auditioning"
for a stage show. She hopped a flight to Santa Prisca
to track down the kingpins. Once there, she moved in on
the slave ship that was freshly docked from Gotham City.
She was ambushed by Galiant's men. She was able to escape
when he ordered them not to track her. Canary refused
Oracle's order to abort the mission. She freed some of
the slaves-to-be, but was captured by el Jefe del Mundo
- Santa Prisca's president for life. After some strategic
urging from Oracle, Galiant's men showed up and rescued
her. El Jefe tried to escape, but Black Canary tracked
him down. Galiant admitted that he was an agent hired
by a soda company trying to get the market on cola beans.
Oracle and Canary had a falling out about their relationship.
Black
Canary and Lois Lane bumped into each other at a brawl
in a furniture manufaturing plant. They were captured
by goons and locked away. One of the enslaved workers
got to them. Once freed, they were able to help the workers
revolt.
Black
Canary moved in on Archer Braun, her target. As she fought
off his goons, Huntress (unknown to Canary or Oracle)
was chasing Braun her way. Braun escaped; Canary and Huntress
introduced themselves and traded their stories on how
they'd met him socially. Catwoman joined the party. Against
Oracle's wishes for Dinah, the three teamed up to chase
Braun down. Canary jumped from their car onto Braun's,
but was captured and taken aboard his plane. Huntress
and Catwoman looked for the fence in his mint robbery.
With Canary's earrings discarded, she couldn't hear Oracle
but Oracle could hear her. Catwoman and Huntress got information
on their search. After hearing a recorded message in Dinah's
earring, Catwoman called the number it gave. Oracle sent
them to the former USSR (Kazakhstan). Black Canary, Braun's
captive, witnessed Lady Shiva in a gladiator-styled death
match. Huntress and Catwoman neared the location where
Canary was being held. Somehow, Braun was able to stop
Shiva's attacks. Oracle, hearing this through Canary's
transmitter, did some checking. He had psychic powers
that allowed him to predict his opponents' moves. Shiva
and Braun encountered Huntress and Catwoman. Shiva attacked
Catwoman and Braun went after Huntress. Dinah escaped
her cell and joined Catwoman against Shiva; Huntress,
with Oracle's help, defeated Braun and joined Canary and
Catwoman. They were able to put some distance between
themselves and Shiva and got free.
