Synopsis:

Batman, Catwoman and the rest of Gotham prepare to die, as there seems no hope of a cure. However, Azrael correctly suspects that the plague's origins lie with the Order of St. Dumas, and he has Lilhy work on translating a document that seems relevant. He fights his way out of his home, under attack from acolytes of the Order, and brings Lilhy's translation of the cure to Gotham Hospital, where an antidote is manufactured.
