Convergence: Batgirl #2 (2015) is the conclusion of the two-part tie-in series, bringing the battle between the Pre-Zero Hour Batgirls and the Flashpoint Amazons to an emotional, character-focused resolution.
Story Summary
The issue picks up immediately from the cliffhanger of issue #1, with Stephanie Brown, Cassandra Cain, and Barbara Gordon fighting the brutal, invading Amazonian army led by the Flashpoint Wonder Woman.
- The Conflict: The Batgirls use their intelligence and agility to fight the Amazons, who rely on brute strength and military tactics. Barbara Gordon, still in her Oracle persona and wheelchair, expertly directs her teammates using her tactical knowledge and computer skills. The Flashpoint Wonder Woman is particularly condescending towards the "weak" heroes of this timeline.
- A Truce and an Alliance: The fight is interrupted by a message from Telos, which makes both sides question the purpose of their battle. The three heroines manage to convince their opponents that they are being manipulated in a multiversal game.
- The Sacrifice: In an act of selflessness and a refusal to be Telos' puppets, the Flashpoint Amazons choose to surrender or withdraw from the fight, effectively forfeiting their city's chance of survival to save the lives of the Batgirls and their Gotham.
- A Hopeful Ending: The issue ends on a character-driven, emotional high note. The Pre-Zero Hour Gotham is spared, and the three women celebrate their victory, which was won not just through fighting, but through empathy and a powerful sense of community and chosen family that transcends the conflict forced upon them.
