The Doom Patrol is then approached by Willoughby Kipling who has been attacked by assassins from the Cult of the Unwritten Book. He warns that the Cult is trying to find a boy known as the Fifth Window. If they find him first, then will be able to unmake the world. The Doom Patrol agrees to help by finding the boy who is on the run from Cult agents.
