Synopsis

Oracle has found where the CIA is keeping the physical evidence that could expose Cassandra Cain as the girl who fought their agents, and she wants to send Batgirl in to take it while she destroys the digital evidence. Batgirl and Batman do not think this is necessary until Oracle reminds them that this evidence could be used to identify Batgirl.   Oracle guides Batgirl through the facility as she collects the evidence and evades security measures, then causes an explosion that allows her to escape more easily. Oracle congratulates her on not existing again, but Batgirl cuts her off, saying she is needed in Gotham.  Oracle contacts Batman and asks him why Batgirl is taking hits she could dodge. They agree that it is psychological, and Oracle wants Batgirl to have a life outside the Cave like a normal seventeen-year-old girl. Batman, however, believes she needs to see the CIA agent Masters brought to justice for killing Johnson.   Batgirl does so, but it doesn't make her feel any better about Johnson's death. She meets Barbara at a cafe. Barbara tells her that justice is important, but life is more important.
