| Storyline |
After trailing Catwoman,
Robin shifted his focus to Ramon Bracuda, who'd escaped them. He tracked
the man to his condo and ambushed him in the steam room. Bracuda fled as
Robin took down his bodyguards. He caught back up with the gangster and
realized he may be meta-human. As Gordon arrived, Robin finally got the
upper hand and defeated Bracuda.
Bracuda was released due to lack of evidence. As soon as he was free, he
called a hit on Robin. One of his men was able to shoot his jumpline, but
he survived the fall. Robin got Gordon as backup and called Bruce (who was
out of town) for advice. Batman secretly contacted Gordon - he wanted to
be at the takedown just in case something went wrong. Robin did fine and
was able to get what he needed on Bracuda without Batman's intervention.
Robin sought Nightwing for help finding Bracuda. He was free - his
conviction was overturned on grounds of entrapment. He convinced the
former Boy Wonder to help him since he was estranged from the new Batman.
When they arrived at their location, EMT and police were on site - Bracuda
had shot up the other party in a drug deal. It turned out that Bracuda had
teamed up with Chulo, a man Nightwing was tracking. They found him, but he
escaped when police arrived. As the police followed the vigilantes,
Nightwing and Robin caught up with their targets. They escaped after a
fight by knocking them off their boat.
Police arrived as Nightwing and Robin got to shore and questioned them.
The new partners followed the signal of the homing device Robin stuck on
their boat. Chulo and Bracuda killed their business associates and blew up
the boat at a warehouse. There, they caught the cops who'd been following
them and prepared to kill them. Nightwing and Robin burst in and took the
drug runners down. The police got to safety and took them in. |
