Storyline 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.
