Synopsis:

Spoiler demands to know why Batman has cut her out of things, and the caped crusader gives her a test - to find a Kobra cultist in possession of weapons of mass destruction. She is unable to do so, however, because Batman already knows where the cultist is - many miles away - and has sent Metamorpho to deal with the situation. He "fires" her from the group, and she is devastated, comforted by Robin, who knows what Batman's like. Meanwhile, Checkmate consider recruiting Huntress, and take measures to plug a leak in their organisation.
