Synopsis:

Orpheus realises that the city is now a powder keg which could explode within hours; Batman recognises this also and agrees to work with him. Orpheus is also sure that someone is orchestrating things, and tries to warn Tolliver of the danger. Rasputin sends his men out to kill the Deacons, and Batman and Orpheus find themselves caught in the crossfire at a weapons store. The two sides have barely engaged before Batman realises there's a bomb on the premises, seconds before it goes off.
