Arsenal's source gave him a hint that the villains they had recently captured were working for Brother Blood, so the Outsiders went to the House of St. Francis Monastery where Blood was living as a monk. Blood set off a bomb that destroyed the monastery and fled. The Outsiders learned Blood was going to activate sleeper agents to steal one million babies to start a new race raised loyal only to him. The Outsiders stopped Blood from activating a GPS signal that would awaken his sleepers, but they failed to prevent the inmates of the Slab, who were protecting Blood, from escaping custody.

They searched the wreckage but found no sign of their teammate. They did find a calling card from Riddler, who had Drakon kidnap Arsenal before the detonation. They stormed Riddler’s safehouse, Puertas al Infierno, a former prison, and fought off the hi-tech armored mercenaries that guarded it. Shift captured Drakon, and once Riddler learned his security had been breached he fled, noting that his act was a game, and a hint of things to come when he was serious about destroying Green Arrow.
