Summary
News arrives in fragments, carried in buzzing whispers by the hive of medical staff that Lexcorp and Wayne Enterprises and STAR Labs and the Army have flown or ferried in: Joker in custody, Essen dead. Electricity restored to several blocks in Coventry and the university sector, sewage and water in the Upper West Side. Novick Tunnel half-cleared. A fresh crop of 1,000 WE hirees dispatched to assist reconstruction efforts in Burnley and Newtown. There are rumors of fireworks tonight.

Summary
“I don't require company, Todd,” Damian says stiffly, from where he’s crouched on the lip of the hospital roof. His arms are crossed, resting on his knees; his whole body is a coil of anger. He’s still wearing the costume. There’s blood on his cape, his gauntlets, a splash of it across one shoulder. In the light drifting up from the street below, it looks black.
Eleven floors below them, Dick Grayson is hooked up to three IVs, a respirator, and a heart rate monitor whose steady beep fails to be reassuring. The official story is that he’d been hit by a bus. The unofficial story is that Talia al Ghul had been in town, and Nightwing had gotten in between her and her son.
