Some people began to breathe a sigh of relief, because they believed that Boomerang was the killer they all were looking for. Many of the heroes were spending time with their loved ones and staying close to home. The Suicide Squad was released from custody since there was no reason to hold them any longer. Owen Mercer took up his father’s mantle of Captain Boomerang. Batman, however, continued to investigate.

Flash confronted Green Arrow, asking why he saw eight people in the memory flash they all experienced when Dr. Light recovered his memories. Arrow explained that Batman had come up on the teleporter as they were mind-wiping Light and he was going to stop them. So, they had to mind wipe the Caped Crusader as well to make him forget those few minutes. They did, and Batman was none the wiser.

Still performing his autopsy of Sue Dibny, Doctor Mid-Nite, now assisted by Mister Terrific, had found that Sue died from an infarction of the brain. While doing a microscopic scan of Sue’s brain, Pieter was shocked to find that the cause of the infarction were two tiny footprints on her brain. Someone with the ability to change their size had stood on Sue’s brain and killed her.
