Synopsis:
Nightwing and Speedy protect an ambassador in London who is the target of the assassin, Cheshire. She attempts to take him out with a sniper rifle, but Nightwing saves him. He then fights Cheshire hand-to-hand, but he is unable to prevent her escape. Later, Cheshire strikes again, succeeding in killing the ambassador with poison gas in his own bathroom. While Nightwing deals with the damage, Speedy secretly meets with Cheshire who is the mother of his daughter.
