Synopsis:

Bruce Wayne has asked for Nightwing's help, so he and Robin begin to track down Jean-Paul Valley. Jean-Paul, meanwhile, is pursuing his obsession with Carlton LeHah, but all his bullying cannot cause anyone to admit that LeHah is in Gotham. Bruce Wayne defeats a third of the dead sensei's disciples, finding that this battle is far harder than the first two.
