This issue ties in with Countdown. Specifically, the Athena women's shelter story-line going on there. And thereby a couple of Batman character's, Harley Quinzel and Holly Robinson. Basically what's happened is someone has stolen an experimental drug from Wayne Enterprises. It has something to do with muscle stamina and cellular regeneration. So, for some reason, Bruce hires the Riddler to track it down for him. Which leads him straight to the women's shelter. Which is why I guess that he hired him, because it's in Metropolis. Anyways, he tries the direct approach, but Harley cuts him off at the pass. She's afraid the Riddler's going to mess up the new gig she's got going. But she does go and talk to him in private. As she's relaying what she's been up to, we get to see the Secret 6. Remember she was hooked up with them for a little while. Anyways, long story short, they find the girl who stole the chemicals indeed hiding out at the shelter. There's a tussle, she injects herself with the formula, but at the same time she's in one of the shelters pools, which come from a magic fountain on paradise island. Of course there's a transformation, and she's turned in to a She-Hulk/Lizard kind of looking thing. We also find out that it was actually Athena that was her contact. Nobody else knows that yet. But we do. And she got a sample of the girls blood, on her way out, which she then turns over to . . . . . Desaad. I don't think we've seen the end of this yet. A very nice book by Dini and Kramer.
