In New York City

The last time Nightstar was in New York, she stayed at the Themysciran embassy, saw the UN, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, and all the other places Wonder Woman had suggested.

This time she is visiting the grimy side of the Big Apple, where rats and cockroaches swarm in the alleys, and she decides to hover above the sidewalks rather than let her feet touch the ground. It takes her some time to find the address because most of the street signs are covered in spray paint and some of the building numbers have been torn away. But finally she finds the building she needs, where the person who can help her lives.

She knocks on his door, surreptitiously brushing the dust off the back of her knuckles, trying not to breathe too deeply of the cocktail of smells in the hallway.

"Kid, don't go in yet... check the building, make sure it's got a doctor's office... and wait for backup! I'll get Fate here in short order, okay?"

"I can't make sure it's got a doctor's office unless I go in," she argues. "If I wait too long he might spot me. I'll be careful, okay? Please--make sure someone gets word to Oracle." She signals the cabbie to drive on and hurries into the lobby.

The chimp turns to the driver. "If you can get me to the JSA Brownstone in five minutes, you've got a $100 tip."
