Dick has tried his BestTM. But when he's openly denied any kind of responsibility (on The Day, too!) by his strict and stupid mentor because 'Sidekicks must earn their place through age and crisis and triumphs blah blah blah we're all dysfunctional orphans'; he decides that Speedy might just have the right idea about going solo. How he ends up working for SHIELD is anyone's guess.

Alex is back at Brecon Beacons for good this time; forced on to a veteran Unit and a new Sargent that think of him as more of a novelty than a soldier. But then a familiar face turns up, revealing some dark secrets, and suddenly 'Lynx' doesn't seem quite so funny anymore.
