Written by Kyle Higgins, the issue takes a temporary break from Dick Grayson’s main solo exploits in Chicago to focus deeply on his complicated, long-standing relationship with Barbara Gordon (Batgirl).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCore Plot \u0026amp; Synopsis\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe issue is a direct tie-in to the \"Batgirl: Wanted\" storyline. Both heroes are at incredibly dark, stressful turning points in their lives: Barbara is a fugitive fleeing the Gotham City Police Department, while Dick is in the process of packing his life up to move to Chicago to hunt down Tony Zucco (the man who murdered his parents).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe narrative framework follows Dick and Barbara as they cross paths in Gotham and end up working a murder mystery together. The case involves a deadly dispute between the villainous pyromaniac Firefly (Ted Carson) and his ex-wife, Hollywood special-effects star Cindy Cook. Ted fakes his own death and begins attacking Cindy's associates in a delusional, violent attempt to force her to run away with him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAs Nightwing and Batgirl track Firefly down, the superhero action serves as a backdrop for them to confront their own emotional baggage. Fighting side-by-side without their usual support systems, they reflect on their history, their mutual trauma, and the paths that have continuously pulled them apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eKey Comic Information\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-top: 0in;\" type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eRelease Date: October 30, 2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eStoryline Context: Set within the New 52 continuity, serving as a vital bridge between Nightwing's Gotham and Chicago eras.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003eCreative Team: Written by Kyle Higgins, with pencils by Jason Masters and a striking cover by Tony S.
