Synopsis
THE SLEEPERS PART 2 Ursa rampages through the Fortress of Solitude, which is currently occupied by Flamebird and her son, Nightwing. She taunts Flamebird by calling her a coward, claiming that she was responsible for the murder of her parents. This puts Flamebird off guard, enabling Ursa the chance to go in for the kill. She slices her with a frangible blade poisoned with Kryptonite. The effects are practically immediate and Flamebird weakens. Ursa pounces on her with a flurry of thrusts, stabbing her repeatedly. As his partner falls to the floor, Nightwing races over and punches his mother in the jaw. She retaliates with a burst of arctic breath. The two swamp blows and Nightwing surprises her by unleashing a new power - a purple, ultraviolet blast. Ursa begins to cower in fear as Nightwing picks up the Kryptonite blade. He is not a murderer however and drops the knife in order to tend to Flamebird. He picks her up and flies out of the Fortress. Ursa tries to fly after them, but a section of the ceiling collapses, burying her. In Metropolis, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen compare notes on missing Empire Communication CEO David Carter. Lois notices that Jimmy has the word "Hell" written repeatedly across his notebook. He tells her that it's a word puzzle that relates to Project 7734. This reminds Lois of her father. Lois tries to call her sister Lucy, but she doesn't get through. Moments later, a battered Flamebird and Nightwing arrive outside her window.
