Title: On the Run Part 1
In Gotham, Batgirl Cassandra Cain is investigating an apartment crime scene littered with clues. She bumps into Batman who agrees the crime scene belongs to the Birds of Prey.
Back at the Birds’ Headquarters, Oracle attempts to go through all the evidence. The group knows this is all a trap of some sort but there needs to be several in person investigations to solve what has happened and how it relates to a stolen experimental drug. They split up.
That night in Gotham, Sin and Batgirl are on a stakeout. Sin is excited and apologizes for being a lot to put up with. Batgirl reassures her. They are a lot alike, trained to be weapons, bad people always want them. However they both are different inside and it’s good. Sin gives her a hug.
Meanwhile, Barda drops off Dinah in Tokyo. She makes her way down from the roof into a large theater where a demonstration of a new invisibility suit is underway. Dinah is shocked at how effective it is, Oracle calls it an industry game changer.
Barda has boom tubed into United Arab Emirates and a small town that appears deserted. She investigates a strange nearby skyscraper. Although it has power, it too is empty. After getting into the penthouse she hears someone from the air ducts call out to her.
Back in Gotham, Sin and Bargirl are curious when their target leaves a club only to descend into the sewers. They carefully follow.
Barda reaches up to the grate of the air duct when tendrils of black slice down upon her. She drops her Megarod. The inky creature quickly heads for it. The room tilts as an alarm sounds. Barda’s Megarod falls out the window with the ink creature. It grabs it and turns into a woman with glider wings. Barda is too busy to notice as the entire penthouse is launched into space.
Oracle is trying to get feedback from Black Canary as Barda’s intermittent communicator signal comes through. Oracle tells Barda all the Birds are under attack. Barda says she’s in space, right before she discovers a bomb's onboard. It goes off with a huge boom and the ship explodes.
Oracle frantically announces: “All Teams. This is a code black. Barda is down. I repeat, code black. Barda is down”. Elsewhere a shadowy figures looks at pictures of the Birds saying “one down, four to go.”
