PLOT:
Helena and Dinah give chase after Yasemin and try to radio Barbara for any available intel but she doesn't respond. Unbeknownst to them, Oracle is preoccupied with the teenage teleporter who is calling herself Batgirl. But after what happened with Cassandra Cain, Barbara is in no mood to see a new Batgirl in Gotham anytime soon. As a matter of fact - the lives of female vigilantes seem to be short and violent ones, something that Babs tries to convey to the 15 year old Bat prodigy. Having snuck into the Oracle's base of operations, the girl professes to be a huge fan of Barbara's and envisions herself as the next teenage hero sensation. Nevertheless she heeds Barbara's advice and agrees to hang up the cape and cowl... but makes no promises about quitting being a superheroine!
Back in the fray, Helena agrees to Yasemin's conditions - following the Turkish gunrunner alone and leaving Black Canary behind. But an idle threat from Yasemin pertaining to Helena's students sends Huntress into a blind rage. She bloodies the gun-runner's face and holds her by the neck over the side of the building - threatening to drop her if she doesn't retract her earlier statements. Luckily it would appear as though Dinah's teachings have rubbed off on Helena Bertinelli and the Huntress actually lets Yasemin live after she agrees to drop her threats.
Back at HQ, Dinah gives Barbara a copy of her memoirs, "My Mothers Daughter" telling her that while she never divulged any of Oracle's secrets, her presence is felt on nearly every page. With that said, Dinah announces to the team that she is leaving effective immediately. Now that Sin is in her life she wants a chance at being a mother and giving the girl a
proper upbringing. Though immensely saddened by her departure, the rest of the Birds give their wellwishes and bid their former
teammate farewell.
